ACTION> JAFFEE SENDS OUT MESSAGES TO ALL MANTICORE COMMAND STAFF TO SUMMON THEM TO A MEETING IN THE BIG BRIEFING ROOM; JAFFEE SENDS OUT A SEPARATE MESSAGE TO KANSAS TO MEET HER IN HER OFFICE

:: walking around the Spacedock halls :: (m) They all look the same!

::Curses, heads to Jaffee's office::

((Good thing I am not command staff ha!))

((the meeting is a plus one so all our main cast is invited))

::gets a beep from her PADD informing her of the meeting, sighs and heads to the briefing room::

I think this is the place I'm supposed to report to

((Then i retract my statement.))

::acknowledges the summoning and heads to the afore mentioned big briefing room::

::speaking privately with Matt in the hall::

::heads to the conference room::

"Join Starfleet, see the Sector" suure, and I'm just in an office processing repair manifests. sigh.

::heads into a lift and heads up to the briefing room, she liked Earth Spacedock but was eager to be cleared to go back to Earth itself:: (edited)

::reviewing medical journals on his PADD, receives a notification of the meeting, heads to big briefing room::

:: Raised an eyebrow at the message, getting up and heading to the conference room::

::glares at Matt:: This is honestly against my better judgement. I feel the entire lot of you would be better served elsewhere.

::nods slowly:: ...Then why aren't we?

:: at the Starbase Medical Facility Lounge looking out the large viewport to provide a relaxing view of Earth ::

::Enters Jaffee's office, paces::

::walks into the big conference room and takes a seat::

::sighs:: There's others above me that can be... persuasive.

KARL> This can't be good

::enters the big briefing room, nodding to those already arrived and are arriving::

I'll be honest I... I wouldn't blame you for just disband--

::She enters the briefing room as well and takes a seat, looking around for Calli::

::enters the big briefing room and takes a seat, nods to those present::

::cuts him off:: Listen. Just take this gift. Make the most of it. Besides, the way things are going with the Dominion, we may need everyone we can get out there.

::nods::

:: after a long turbo lift journey Callista arrives at the designated meeting location ::

:: Enters the briefing room, taking a seat next to E.J. nodding to Faldek::

::nods and lowers his head; then looks up at her:: Understood... Thank you.

::nods to Faldek:: Commander.

Liuetenants.

::Matt walks down the hall and into the briefing room; he sits near the front where Faldek is and... waits::

::looks at Harnett:: Hopefully you're healed more or less from our debacle on that planet.

::spots Calli walk in, smiles at her:: You doing okay, Calli?

Captain. I believe the entire senior staff was summoned.

:: takes a seat adjacent to Jaenke, she is still wearing dermal regeneration bandages on one side of her face...( sort of like Picard wore at the end of BoBW 2 ) ::

:: Looks at his office wall where he has his homemade hybrid images tacked up :: ahh, the Oberth/Olympia hybrid... someday

KARL> In the back of the room, feeling the doom::

::meets back up with the Spacedock dude; gives him a smirk:: I don't know how you talk me into this.

:: Looks to E.J. :: I am, thank you Lieutenant. I hope you have healed up after being thrown against that tree..

:: To Annika :: Thanks to Dr. Tevek and the minds here at the SB...I've recovered my marbles...but we shall see about the scars...: points to her faceplate ::

It's a skill, hmm?

I think that tree was hurt more than I was. ::klingonic grin::

::spots Callista in the briefing room and notes that the dermal regeneration bandages are still in place::

::sighs:: They're all yours.

I'm sure they can heal those scars. I've seen them fix worse, actually.

:: does a polite wave and thumbs up to Dr. Tevek ::

::looks over at Faldek:: You hear about any of this? No one's been talking to me.

:: Raised an eyebrow :: The tree...hurt more than you?

:: into the conference room walks a man in his late 50's but with signs of unnaturally advanced aging. He is wearing the uniform of the Starfleet garrison troops with these on his right collar and left breast ::

9:13 PM

Nope, you I suppose know as much as I do.

::she looks to the man that just walked in::

::looking at the man entering::

::turns his attention:: Admiral on deck!

:: Raised an eyebrow as he turned to look at the man as he entered ::

::heads back to her office to meet Kansas::

::stands up at attention::

::nods to Callista, then rises to attention at Faldek's announcement::

:: Stands at attention ::

::Matt's eye widen:: ...A-- Admiral.

:: he looks around the room with a stoic, tired gaze on his face. His eyes light on a few faces of the crew and a small and grateful smile can't keep from crossing his face. He opens his mouth to speak and stops himself, shaking his head ::

9:15 PM

::she also stands at attention:: (edited)

::walks into the office to find Kansas pacing:: Sorry to keep you waiting. ::she walks behind her desk and sits down::

:: stands AA her eyes are visible ...the plates on the right side of her face cover her cheekbone and orbital bone area ::

Admiral

::feeling really bad right now; he did break the ship::

(m) She was a good ship.

Please, folks. Have a seat - heck, have all of them

::suddenly wants a lolipop::

9:16 PM

::takes a seat, but not literally::

:: Sits down once more ::

((So I know we're all on a text based format so just to clarify this IS THE A9. It's not me playing an NPC.

))

(NICE!)

::takes a seat::

:: takes her seat ::

::sits down::

((HowdyHwody))

::takes a seat and pours himself a water::

9:17 PM

((

))

((with genuine typos, too!))

9:17 PM

:: stepping over to a wall panel in the room, he addresses the entire room. He speaks loudly enough to cut through the chatter and get everyone's attention, but not so loud as to be shouting. It seems like he has done this many times before ::

::clasps her hands and takes a deep breath:: Commander, first allow me to praise your record thus far. You've had many misteps but always with the intentions of the Federation at hand.

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::

::watches A9 with fervered interest:

::looking upon his old CO, sipping his water::

We mourn your losses and grieve for your dead... but the Manticore skillset in this room is too valuable to be benched for long. There have been spirited discussions on next steps and I have been asked to show you some video feeds from a shielded workbay here at Spacedock. As you can see, there's a lot to like.

9:19 PM

She may be down, but never out!

::looks at the video, trying to see the new ship but only sees another Nebula class::

::watches video with interest, raises an eyebrow::

:: Listens to the Admiral, eyebrow raising at the sight of the Nebula class ship ::

::his heart starts racing::

::wait, what::

Oooh.

::nods with delight::

:: notes the Nebula Class Starship in the dock, the engineer in her....ponders what is in the inside::

Questions? Comments? Rotten produce??

Uh... I-I...

9:22 PM

Really? They're giving us another one?

Now we can show those Jem Hadar....what for... Qapla!!

A third Nebula class? hm, nice. (edited)

I have always had the job first

Yeah, last one off the back lot. Still has that new starship smell

:: Looks at E.J. :: You want to go back?

:: smiles that the ship's name will live on ::

::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?? ::

KARL> I wounder when the bad stuff is going to happen

Hmm, that sounds like code for "I need a drink," and I wouldn't be totally wrong about that

::stands up to shake A9's hand while holding back a tear:: Thank you, sir.

::watching McFly::

:: starts to walk around the table and locks eyes with Faldek as he approaches :: One second, Matt

::stands::

::nods still in disbelief::

and that is my only posting

::pours himself more water, in lieu of bloodwine::

Correct.

::stands as well before the admiral leaves::

Does Captain McFly know this?

:: stands as well in respect to the rank and legend of Special Ops ::

...He does.

:: leans in close to Faldek :: (w) I might have something special for you, Commander. Come see me in my temporary office here tomorrow

Aye Admiral.

Then I guess I am a babysitter

:: Turns back to McFly :: So, where are you hiding KK?

again

Good question...

She, uh... she's in with Jaffee right now.

:: Stands ::

::stands::

Pfft, just the woman I want to off... again. My next stop

::just noticed KK wasn't there::

::looks slightly surprised::

::sighs:: I'm sorry you feel that way. Many officers work their entire careers for such a posting. I hope in time you'll come to see it as the honor we view it as.

::smirks at A9's remark::

:: Turns to the assembled crew :: It is a singular honor to be with the crew of the Manticore once again. Never Give Up, Never Surrender!

Do I get a demotion with this posting

::smiles::

I'm sorry that's how you see it.

Indeed, Admiral, indeed. ::to A9::

here here

:: turns on his heel and heads for the door ::

::doesn't know if he should cry or cheer or salute:;

::walks over to McFly:: And we're back!

Can I go back to shadowing A9?

Exits, Stage Left

9:41 PM

:: walks down the hallway to the Consul General's office ::

:: exhales ::

9:41 PM

:: looks to Captain McFly ::

The Admiral doesn't need that kind of protection anymore.

::walks over to beside Calli::

::Smirks:: you don't get the kinda trouble he finds

::looks around at the crew:: Listen, I'm sorry I failed you with this mission. But we'll learn from this and do it better next time.

:: Looks over at E.J. and McFly, then to Faldek ::

:: strides in and nods to the corpsman at the desk :: Don't even TRY to stop me, okay?

:: Kind of wonders what just happened ::

I'm rather certain he searches out that kind of trouble.

::nods::

:: raps on the CG's door with a "Shave-and-a-Haircut" knock ::

::looks at McFly:: You didn't fail us sir. At least I didn't see it that way.

:: smiles at Annika then returns her gaze to the Captain ::

::listens to the Captain::

::sees A9 at the door; stands up:: Speaking of which... ::walks out and let's A9 and Kansas have the room::

Admiral

:: Enters and comes right over for a big hug :: Hey you!

9:44 PM

Uhh, you're not gonna shoot me or stab me, are you?

::Hugs him back::

::looks at EJ:: Thanks.

never, it would be against my duty

::quietly:: Where is Cmdr Kenickie?

Another Nebula...

Hmm, that didn't stop y... never mind

I'd give my life for you.. I tried to many times

So, Presidential Protection Detail, huh?

babysitting

temporarily

::looks to Pilot and Faldek sheepishly:: Yeah, something like that.

politicians come and go

9:45 PM

but this - this is your golden ticket!

it doesn't feel like one...

9:46 PM

no action, just ushring

::looks at Faldek:: At least she is armed more..

Who knows why A9 wants to see me tomorrow.

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::

Damn dude. Gettin itchy for a stabbin

::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::

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.

Matt had been distant ever since the fleet arrived on that abandoned planet in the Neutral Zone. The fighting stopped, the danger was gone, and now Matt had nothing left to distract his mind. Everything finally rushed in, the guilt, the pain, the frustration. Everything to tell him how wrong he had been and how tired he was of fighting. Not just of enemies but of loves.

He loved Kansas but had grown weary of her disrespect. Years ago, when he was a security grunt, when he was the assistant to Precip, then becoming chief, back when he was the second officer, he used to think he could never live without her. But now... now as Captain, now that he's the one she's disagreeing with instead of the one she's just venting to, now that he has to worry about her insubordination in the eyes of the crew and not just be able to step back allowing "the brass" the handle it, now... he doesn't know. Maybe it's not worth the trouble anymore.

But then, the problem that taunted him every time his anger built up thinking about Kansas. Every time he thought about how she fought him, how she quite literally fought him, undermining his command decisions and nearly killing the entire crew. Every time he feels he can't control the rage and the only outlet is his fist through a wall, the problem laughs in his face and taunts him like a child... She was right. Had he only listened to her... to his son, the entire mission could have ended completely differently.

Matt sat in a debriefing room trying to think about what he was going to tell Jaffee. But every time he tried to focus on the words all he could do was replay the events over and over again in his mind. Flashes of regret assaulted his mind every time he closed his eyes. The choices he should have made differently stabbed his chest with every heartbeat. Then he opens his eyes to the sterile, grey room he was told to wait for Jaffee in. What would she even believe?

The sound of the automatic doors whooshing open distracted his train of thought. He watched Jaffee sit across from him then scroll through a padd. She told him how serious Starfleet was taking the situation and that his career was depending on the testimony of the entire crew.

It's not like he was the first Captain to lose a ship. Hell, he wasn't even the first one to lose a ship within the last 12 months. But he didn't have the prestige of Captain Picard to get off by saying "we did everything we could."

So he tells the story, as he knew it. About stumbling across a derelict runabout whose pilot ended up being his son from the future. Except it wasn't actually his son, it was the son of Kansas and Jaenke whom his future self seemingly adopted. He told about the warning his son brought from the future that Matt heeded but with a grain of salt. Was it arrogance that made him think he could save everyone and still change the future? He wasn't sure but that's what he did. He wanted no one to die and in turn hundreds of people did... of his own crew.

He also told about his second officer, how she was desperate to appeal to him with making the decision to do the hard thing that he was desperate to avoid. How in her desperation she resorted to extreme tactics to do what she felt was necessary.

His final confession was that everything he tried to avoid happened and everything he was warned about also happened. With the exception of that bad timeline. At least, they think it hasn't happened. With no evidence to corroborate any of it his expectations for believability were low.

And that's when he watched Jaffee pull up a file on the large wall display. His mouth slowly gapped open as he saw small snippets of data that had been retrieved by the USS Kieran just before they detonated the self-destruct on Manticore.

"They don't have a complete picture," she said, "but it's enough to prove everyone is telling the truth."

The display cascaded scans of Nathan's runabout, the genetics data from sickbay, the scans Bren took of the weapon then finally ending in a report from the USS Vertical of the debris field where Starbase 23 once stood. Signatures from Starfleet, Romulan and Jem'Hadar all chrono-dated to modern day. Nothing else existed.

He sat in complete disbelief. He knew for certain no one would take their story for anything other than a desperate captain clinging to his command.

"One final thing," Jaffee said as she clasped her hands and leaned onto the desk, "your report about Commander Kenickie concerns me. Not only because of your closeness to her and what I feel is a compromise of your decision-making abilities but also a concern about her affect on the crew as well as a threat to the ship."

"Hold on," he snapped up saying, "everything she does is in protection of that ship." He heard himself as he spoke, realizing he was still defending her. Maybe Jaffee was right, he thought. His decision-making skills are sorely compromised when she's involved. He chuckled inwardly to himself.

"I understand," she said as tactfully as possible trying to avoid a conflict, "regardless, your own report and that of others state otherwise. But... all her other attributes speak volumes as well. So, I'm giving you the choice. What do you recommend we do about Commander Kenickie?"

"...I, uh... Maybe..." He stumbled over his words as if Jaffee just asked him if Vulcan and Romulan meat tastes the same.

"I can give you time to think about it-"

"No." He said cutting her off. "I think... I think... maybe now's the time to offer her a new assignment."

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

= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1246, STARDATE 52311.20 = starfleet

= Manticore has been sent to Starbase 23 near the Romulan neutral zone to confirm a new weapon designed against the Changelings. Along the way, they received a distress call, the sender of which claims to be the son of Captain McFly and Commander Kenickie but DNA tests conclude that Erich is the real father. He does, however, bring warnings about the future. McFly decides to cautiously continue with the mission along with calling for fleet backup. Upon arrival to the station, an away team met with the woman leading the project, Dr Moira Taggert. She performed a weapons test on a compound approximating Changeling physiology. And then suddenly, Romulans! They planned to destroy the station, saying it had been taken over by Changelings. McFly was able to suspend their attack with the condition they root out any Changelings on board. They found one, the scientist Dr Moira Taggert. And soon after, they found more... a lot more. Two Jem'Hadar ships dropped out of warp, destroyed the two Romulan ships and then critically damaged Manticore forcing them to limp away towards a nearby planet and crash landing to avoid complete destruction. Kansas and Nathan take matters into their own hands and leave to destroy the station. Faldek and Bren followed after them. They succeed. The station is destroyed, the future is changed, and Nathan no longer exists. The team returns to the planet where they destroyed the two Jem'Hadar ships that have been terrorizing the crew. A day and a half passes while the crew holds off the remaining Jem'Hadar ground soldiers before backup finally arrives. They eradicate the Jem'Hadar and are now preparing to load up Manticore's crew. = starfleet

A quick note before we start. Tonight we'll be working on getting everyone off the planet and into the orbiting ships. Which means moving a lot of wounded. Everyone is free to go NPC wild tonight if you so want to. Cheers!

I thik it went OK, fast but OK

That means they liked you!

So if anyone was wondering, I calculated 47% casualties from the base crew count for a Nebula class starship according to Memory Alpha.

Sorry I was late everyone :\

So like half the crew

KK stay out of trouble!

He wanted me to have as heartbreaking of a number as possible so the top brass will fire me and make him the new captain

We're not jumping THAT far in time

Yes I chose 47 because of the significance it has in Star Trek.

And the universe and everything

We should get one

Oooh

::wink wink::

They sure are.

Probably get Quark, to give you a deal..

Yes, but the down payment costs an arm and a leg

I must be off

That's what Karl is around for.

nite nite peeps

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

Between 11/19/2023 9:15 PM and 11/19/2023 10:13 PM

Mission Brief: In pursuit of missing mining equipment, Excalibur followed a tip to a remote system near the borders of Federation, Breen, and Romulan space. There they found evidence of wildcatting activity, but also a massacre aboard an abandoned research station that was being used as a transport hub. Having found all the information they were likely to find on the station (including evidence that indicated the attackers used type 3 disruptors and a number of system logs) Excalibur moved on to the mine site itself where they found similar evidence of an attack, and pieces of broken mine equipment that matched the missing pieces, but no concrete evidence of who attacked the place.

9:15 PM

(Yes we’re jumping a bit ahead, probably a day or so)

9:16 PM

In the science labs where the various pieces of evidence are gathered, Captain Swain is holding an impromptu staff meeting with the relevant team (y’all)

9:16 PM

Nope

So, we're left with what -- 23 dead people on the surface or the station. Some ruined mine equipment and more questions than we started with?

“Indeed.”

Sitting back down in her seat, looking resigned that they don't really know anything. "That's the big and small of it. Lots of bodies, no answers."

Starfleet has agreed to allow us to explore further, though they certainly were less than happy with me about it.

9:26 PM

So, theories?

"Well, that they found something that didn't want to be found would be the most obvious analysis."

But why attack a group of unarmed miners in Federation space.

“Something you want is possibly the on the station? Revenge?”

Rex> Frowns They didn't take any of the mining equipment or anything of note on the station.

“Just because you think something is there, doesn’t mean it actually is.”

Jalen?

"The equipment wasn't their goal, then, it was just to get rid of the wildcat miners.” (edited)

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Shakes his head.:: Getting rid of the competition, maybe? Dead men tell no tales?

Rex> I am not sure about competition. These looked like military grade weapons.

"It's overkill to just get rid of competition, and other wildcats aren't going to have type-3 disruptors."

“That’s a good point.”

But Jalen's right. Dead men tell no tales.

9:36 PM

What were they mining again?

"The equipment is for mining rare earths for industrial replicators. Nothing worth slaughtering an entire station over."

Frowns pensively Give me the actual list again.

:: looking over her scans::

Rex> Any luck in identifying the dead?

She hands over a padd. "This contains a list cross-referencing the mining equipment we found with what's on the planet.*

Takes the PADD and looks over it

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Tilts his head at Swain.:: You've got a theory?

Merkocite.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Bless you.

“Merkocite?”

Rex> Merkocite? Scratches a clean chin.

:: listening:

"What about it?"

It's not ordinarily a very important ore, but they were clearly mining it here.

9:50 PM

Certainly not important enough to kill someone over. Normally.

"You don't need to steal 40 year old equipment and hijack an observatory to mine that."

Right. And yet here we are.

“Hm, interesting indeed.”

Clears his throat. Merkocite, like I said, isn't normally all that valuable. But when its subjected to high levels of gamma radiation, it can be used as a component in energy transfer matrixes when adapting power sourced from Romulan AQS units.

"So... Romulans?"

“Huh…”

They have plenty of merkocite, though. (edited)

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Which means someone has gotten their hands on a warbird. ::Frowns.::

Or at least an AQS unit.

“That’s not good. If they have a warbird.”

Cdr Jalen Stanton> And amateurs fooling about with quantum singularities smells like an accident waiting to happen.

Irene> "Can you translate for those not versed in Romulan power circuitry?"

“Yes.”

Rex> Extremely curious why Asher knew that little tid bid of information, but tucks it away.

10:03 PM

The Romulans don't use standard matter/anti-matter power generation, they instead use a micro singularity. The power it produces requires a converter for most other systems used by Federation and Klingon technology.

"Everyone knows that. I meant about the AQS unit."

Cdr Jalen Stanton> A minature black hole powering their starships. I've seen one lose integrity... it wasn't pretty.

"Oh. Quantum... yeah. OK. It's a power transformer."

WOO!

Yay

Just a quick reminder note. We're nearly done with this plot and then we will be going through with the two year time jump as was discussed months ago.

10:10 PM

I keep forgetting to remind you guys about it.

Got damn Jem Hadar threw me into a tree like a rag doll!

Just remember, Jem Hadar weapons have anti-coagulants in them.

He has a good point

Cdr. Faldek

Just remember, Jem Hadar weapons have anti-coagulants in them.

I had forgotten about that.

WHat does that mean again

Means you don't stop bleeding.

1

blood will not clot

Stops blood clotting

Well Captain Kenickie...

So once we are completed with everything then we'll pick up our characters two years later.

oh joy

Oooh

OHHH GREY SHOULDERED UNIFORMS!!

This also means we get the grey uniforms

1

Ohh

Oooh grey

Violet is part of a special class of temporally displaced people.

You know what was brought to my attention.

1

Like my new hoodie lol

Does KK get two years of brain repair therapy and come back to her old self?

Those grey uniforms were war time uniforms due to the Jem Hadar learning the colors and their division meanings.

1

So be thinking about what your characters will be doing in those two years. I mean you don't have to get detailed with it if you don't want to but there will be a two year gap we won't have touched these guys.

10:13 PM

Any questions on that?

She sought treatment at the Arkham facility

I don't know how canon that is, but that is the explanation that was presented why the switch.

At least Annika’s age will match her bio then

In other words two years worth of logs

If you can produce that many sure

2

1

Alright, any questions or comments?

2 years later ... I am still here.

10:14 PM

Boom.

But are you?

Cadet Violet?

1

Oof

I mean ... I hope so.

I mean, you were just saved from a Jem'Hadar... so you should be...

Got damn JHs.

Oh, We'll be in the year 2374, if anyone wants to get really nerdy like me and see what happens in that time frame. This will also be season 6 of DS9 and season 4 of Voyager.

1

Time is a funny thing Harnett

Copy copy.

This is true

In the midst of the Dominion War then, iirc?

Captain McFly

Oh, We'll be in the year 2374, if anyone wants to get really nerdy like me and see what happens in that time frame. This will also be season 6 of DS9 and season 4 of Voyager.

Thank you, that's extremely helpful to me, to have the show reference/comparison

Yes, the war is in full swing when we pick back up

Bren Faliver

Thank you, that's extremely helpful to me, to have the show reference/comparison

Trust me, I get really particular about that stuff.

Are we going to be temporarily reassigned for two years, still together, on extended leave....?

As do I.

You'll see

So, I know what Eric was up to in that time.... Thomas, not so much...

I was thinking of writing a log... I can just wing it if you don't think it'll mess up your plan? Or I can retcon lol

I’m doing a bit of all three of that lol

Bren's question is a good one.

You all are assuming you're not getting court martialed for the destruction of a federation space station when we get back

1

Everyone goes down a rank.

Ooo

I am kidding of course.

My answer above was to Bren's question. You'll see what I have in store just before we jump.

KK

yes?

LOL

Oh, fun.

KK as in Okay.

Alright, any more questions or comments?

They are gonna fix the replicator on the bridge right?

1

Ok. I’ll hold off logs til then I guess

That might be the only thing they can fix

Hopefully all my stuff didn't get burnt in the attack. (edited)

Alright, if nothing else then Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes... DISMISSED!!!

Goodnight and good week all yall

Good luck KK

I'll be giving the casualty report next week, so brace yourselves.

We're the only ones left alive

10:22 PM

Later dudes!

lol, goodnight!

thank you

Later!

NIte nite Peeps

10:22 PM

Good night folks!

9:08 PM

"Is the perimeter secure?"

About as good as we can get. Sensors still working at about 20% range.

:: gets the software ready and the three backup systems ::

9:11 PM

"The slight white noise from this...region can get to you after a while. I don't know why this exists, but it does mask sounds off in the distance."

Oh hey, what’s up? You didn’t miss much.

9:15 PM

I think everyone else is at that portal. I don’t know where it is though.

"Yes, I heard there was a region of this planet on top of this one."

Yes, it does seem very interesting.

@med "We should evaluate them for long-term effects."

"Getting the top section on is the more difficult part." :: watches them work ::

Though I’d probably rather just transport over there myself

@med "At least you can do that. I'm wherever the emitters are located. A strange leash."

"First tests of the power controls are a success."

::pulls out a low tech optical device to scan the horizon::

"Just a few more minutes and we can run a test."

Good.

9:22 PM

While we seem secure here, I'd almost feel better if we had company. Not seeing any clue what was causing those pulses.

I, I would speed it up if possible.

@med "Can a hologram feel nervous?"

:: Runs a simulation of the power up sequence. ::

@ med tech> Yes?

"First control test in the green."

We have incoming, airborne. Security, stand ready north perimeter.

"Crap...speeding this along."

ACTION> A ball of light can now be seen zipping 10 meters over the surface, heading out way.

"Second test of the power system in the green."

9:38 PM

"Charging the capacitor."

::seeing the ball of light:: Ummm.... that doesn't look good

We have less than a minute before that thing is on top of us.

9:42 PM

::watches the light and starts scanning::

Is anyone getting a scan on that?

"Capactor is still charging. All systems show in the green."

yes ma'am

@med "Too bad Prani is missing this."

ACTION> The light now rises and hold position over us

"Five minutes before we can activate Captain."

As soon as it does, I want someone through the portal to report back. And, if that thing up there does anything we all fall back through it as well.

::still scanning the light::

"Setting up security measures."

::Mimi:: That doesn't look like any tech the Romulans would have.

It doesn't

:: Worried internally :: "Nothing I recognize."

9:50 PM

"Three minutes."

9:51 PM

Well, this is turning into .... something.

"Two minutes." :: The capacitor hums much like it does on the other side ::

9:53 PM

"Security measures in place."

Anytime now.

"Three, two...one. Portal activated!"

Get the runner through.

"Runner away."

Well, hopefully someone is just curious.

::drops out of warp at the planetoid, entering orbit::

::Sits silently on the bench in the back::

::in the cave, tending to wounded crewmembers::

Faliver, lets find the Manticore eh?

::sits in the cave close to Calli:: I don’t hear anything outside.

KARL> ::Keeping ready at the cave enterance::

Faldek, look at 11 o-clock just shy of the horizon.

::checking his charge on the phaser rifle:: Damn shrouding Jemmies! I had to go all medieval on them..

She's down...

ACTION> THREE JEM'HADAR ARE STILL ON THE GROUND ATTACKING FROM BEHIND A LINE OF TREES; THE SHIP THAT STAYED BEHIND IS STILL PATROLLING THE AREA; EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY ATTACK THE CAVES FROM OVERHEAD

Those trees are at a weird angle, something very big shoved them around

do I not suck at every thing I do

Yeah but I wanna do a fly over and have you scan for survivors in the ship.

:: hears weapons fire again ::

:: Is still near E.J. , checking the power cell on his hand phaser:: (edited)

::curses in Klingonese::

Looks like I spoke too soon

:: In the cave with Violet ::

Sensors are showing weapons fire a bit away from the ship. Someone's alive, at least.... maybe a big phaser canon? I'd almost suspect it were Kansas if she weren't here ::smiles lightly::

::scurries over to EJ:: Lt. What are the odds of getting around them and attacking from behind their vantage point?

Kansas, I empathize with you but we have a crew that needs us to be focused on the here and now.

::Pokes her console:: I am reading none on the ship.. scattered around it

Annika Can you get me a small phaser just in case?

::readies his rifle again:: Come on you petaqs! Or did they breed you with no gull!!!

yeah, here you go ::gives Calli her spare phaser::

and a masss of people on a cave

::looks at McFly:: I can't see where they are firing from exactly. So at the moment, zero.

Damn.

Wait is that a Jem'Hadar fighter that's landed?

I'm hoping it crashed, not landed...

Confimed. one has landed

Shields down?

:: grabs hit with her hand and holds it to her chest ...she is still lying flat on the ground in the cave ::

:: pops a new power cell in his phaser, listening to Pilot and McFly ::

Need some help?

right now everyones sheilds are down

::light bulb::

I got it. :: holds the handle tight ::

::checks his bag for some smoke grenades::

Okay. ::checks her own phaser::

Ok let's take advantage of the situation. Kansas lock phasers, phaser cannons and quantum torpedoes and fire on that ship.

::finishes with the patient he was treating and hurries over to the next one::

:::Taps console:: Targeted and ready

Coming around for a strafing run. ::pilots the Chimera accordingly::

Fire at will!

Do it. But don't go alone.

:::Fires Torps and Canons at the ship::

::hears an explosion::

9:18 PM

Wait a second.

Ship is gone

ACTION> THE JEM'HADAR HEAR THE EXPLOSION; THEY STOP FIRING AT THE CAVE

:: Looks at E.J. as he hears the explosion, stumbling a bit ::

"Violet, are you okay?"

ACTION> THE JEM'HADAR SOLDIERS CLOAK AND BACKTRACK

Now, let's see if there's anything else out there...

That wasn't me... ::pulls out his tricorder and begins scanning::

KARL> not to sound postive, that sounds good

:: Violet nodded :: "Yes. I have faced worse."

::banks the Chimera back around, flying low::

ACTION> THE SECOND JEM'HADAR SHIP ATTACKING THE CAVES COMES AROUND FROM BEHIND THE CHIMERA AND UNLOADS A BARRAGE OF WEAPONS FIRE ON THE SHIP

:: heard sound :: sounds like a starship just went up.....

::to Karl:: True...but who was it?

:::Curses::

Evasive manuever gamma 1... ::the Chimera starts zig zagging::

::puts his tricorder on continuous scan:: Harnett are you good to walk?

:: Raised his eyebrow as he pulled his tricorder, scanning :: I am, sir

You can tell it was a starship just by sound? Wow. There’s only Jem Haddar ships though right?

Let's go see what is happening so we're not completely oblivous.

::hears noises in the background but focuses attending to his patient::

:: Nods, tricorder in one hand, phaser in the other ::

Stay frosty Lt.

:: half smile :: I mean that to be I heard a big boom. I'm afraid they will destroy what is left of Manticore...so we cannot leave this world.

::brings thrusters up to full and pulls a straight up loop, coming back towards the Fighter from above::

::looks to the security officers in the cave:: Protect them especially the CO. I don't want to get chewed out by Commanders Kenickie nor Faldek.

::Fires on the Jem'Hadar ship::

::kinda chuckles a bit, to himself. When did he start enjoying violence?::

Everyone else! Eyes peeled. With their cloaks they can come from anywhere.

::nods:: Aye sir! ::readies their phasers and guards the cave entrace and its occupants::

::Oh, that's right, when the ship got blowed up::

I wouldn’t put it past them, I suppose.

Regrettably I would know that sound....

::attaches his tricorder to his belt, phaser rifle at the ready and begins walking towards the cave entrance where they had been getting fired upon::

They are coming back

Our weapons aren't gonna do a whole lot to their shields but we'll try,

Is it true Annika...they are wearing some sort of Visual distortion gear?

:: Follows Pilot, keeping a tight grip on his phaser as he followed ::

::tries another evasive maneuver set, trying to get Chimera's size to their advantage::

Some sort of cloak…cloak

9:25 PM

Maybe

:::Fires on the ship:::

::passes a precise location to the front seats:: anomalous energy readings right there, could be shrouded jem hadar

:: Listens for foot steps as he looks around ::

KARL> ::Fires at "Something":::

Well we have to worry about this big ass fighter at the moment.

ACTION> THE CHIMERA ZIPS AROUND IN A 180 AND FIRES ON THE BUG SHIP. THEY MAKE DIRECT CONTACT THEN QUICKLY FLY UP BEFORE CRASHING INTO IT. THE JEM'HADAR'S SHIELDS ONLY TAKE MODERATE DAMAGE.

::looks at Karl:: What you got over there?

::half out-loud:: why the hell are they carrying Ydrium around...

:: hand goes to her head as if in a headache pose :: wish we had more equipment...could set up short range...tachyon emitters to maybe frazzle their cloaks...

KARL> I thought I heard steps

::nods:: aye!

::looks at the corners seeing nothing and looks at the trees and advantage points where he believes the jem hadar were::

Yeah, I know what you mean. Most of our stuff is still back on the Manticore

:: Keeps his eyes and ears sharp as he looks around with E.J. ::

They seem to be in a hurry since they left no one out here...

It would appear so...

+McFly+ No signs of the Jemmies. They seem to have left in a hurry not even a guard.

Long term solution ...I guess

:::Fires on the ship again::

::nods:: Once or if we manage to get ride of these cloaked jemmies (edited)

::tries to keep Chimera's front weapons trained on the fighter::

::looks up at the ships weapons fire:: Look!

1

Need to have the Security teams ...get some of their gear... so we can look at it. Maybe?

:: Hears the weapons fire and looks up ::

::looks down at Calli:: Yeah. We can set up a better shelter at least on the ship.

9:31 PM

But there’s still those Jem Haddar ships out there.

Right....:: closes her eyes and drifts of to sleep again ::

ACTION> THE CHIMERA CONTINUES TO SWING AROUND THE JEM'HADAR BUG. IT FIRES DIRECTLY ON THE SHIELDS BUT IS PRODUCING LITTLE DAMAGE. THE BUG IS JUST AS MANEUVERABLE, THOUGH, AND IS ABLE TO QUICKLY MATCH THE CHIMERA'S FLIGHT PATTERN.

::stays with Calli, looks around her surroundings::

Maneuverable bugger!

+McFly+ Chimera is what may have caused the explosions! She's engaged in battle as we speak.

Might have better luck if you just give Kansas a rifle and open the back hatch

::Curses::

::feels like he's in an old school aerial dogfight from Earth's old war days::

::finishes with the patient he is treating and looks over in Callista's direction::

+Pilot+ Very nice! Hopefully they can wipe them out.

:: Watches the Chimera and the Bug :: Damn Jem'Hadar...

:: her hand still holds the phaser as she is unconscious again ::

+McFly+ There are two Jem Hadar soldiers out here too. Deceased. (edited)

::notes that Callista appears to be unconscious again and heads towards her::

+Pilot+ Roger that. I expect the others to return soon. No sign of where they went?

+McFly+ My guess the explosion we heard.

::Targets and keeps firing:::

If the worst should happen, prepare to drop shields and beam us to the crew on the ground... ::to Faliver::

+Pilot+ Let me know if you find anything else nearby. But don't go off too far.

+McFly+ Before I vaporize these bodies. Does science need them to study?

Yessir

+Pilot+ That's something to ask science about.

::arrives by Callista, opens up Medkit and removes tricorder, begins scanning::

+McFly+ Understood. Pilot out.

:: Unfolds his tricorder, scanning the nearby area, phaser still in his other hand ::

perfect ::Mutters::

::tries to get back into the foreward firing arc of Chimera against the fighter::

::gives Tevek some space to work::

::sets up something a little less sensitive than a dead man's trigger:: As long as they don't get us in one big shot we'll be good. Keep in mind you'll probably fall on your arse, being seated.

Fair enough.

+Annika+ Pilot to Sorensen...I have two deceased Jem Hadar out here. Does Science need them to study or should I perform janitorial services?

ACTION> THE BUG GETS A FEW GOOD HITS IN CAUSING THE CHIMERA TO POP OFF ITS COURSE A LITTLE INSIDE THE PLANET'S ATMOSPHERE

+opens comms to the Jem'Hadar+ Hey just so ya know, we destroyed the station and all your Founders on it.

+Pilot+ Sure, I’m sure it can benefit somehow. Especially if they have one of those cloaking gear.

::looks down at tricorder scan results::

::Chimera is hit and thruster control starts to get a little sluggish::

+Sorenson+ Copy that. We will bring it back in...

::Looks at the back of Faldek's head:: Did you really just...?

+Pilot+ Acknowledged.

Nice touch

::looks at Harnett:: Can you help bring in the body?

Gotta em off a bit.

::tightens the seat belt even tighter::

::heads to the front of the cave::

::to Karl:: Good man!

:: Goes to see if Violet and Gila are okay :: "What happened to you Violet?"

ACTION> THE JEM'HADAR RESPOND OVER CHIMERA'S COMM; "VICTORY IS LIFE"

KARL> Well to be honest I am just average

:: Looks to Pilot :: Of course, sir. :: knelt down slightly and lifted the dead Jem'Hadar by the shoulders ::

"I caught an end of one of those 'Hadar brutes."

:KARL> ::: Helps move the body::

::scans the jem hadar to make sure they both have the shrouding tech::

((Wasn't it biological?))

ACTION> THE BUG MOVES IN A WITH A HARD ATTACK AFTER FALDEK'S TAUNT; DIRECT WEAPONS FIRE ON THE CHIMERA NEARLY DESTROYING THEIR SHIELDS

::trying to compensate for the listing:: She's getting sluggish! Must've had a direct hit to the starboard thruster.

((it was but I don't know that lol))

1

Shileds are failing

Not seeing any tech but it has to be there for both of them. I hope.

Trying to bring secondary shields online

Perhaps we could program the Chimera to collide with their ship and we 'pop the chute' as they say in the holos?

;::Tapx console:: Working on it

::finishes reviewing scan results and begins preparing hypospray for Callista::

I really don't wanna kill Chimera if I can help it!

it's a ship... not a person

1

You didn't design and build her...

I would rather live to see another day

No, but you didn't design a coffin either, you designed a warship and she's listing.... (edited)

:: Carries the Jem'Hadar into the caves :: I am sure we will find out how they shroud themselves, sir.

::kneels down near the other:: You dishonorable petaq! You attacked my friends...my family. That is why you lie here in your dishonor. You underestimate the ingenuity of the Federation, Starfleet and this Klingon Human being. May you rot in hell with your "precious" founders.

And shieldless....

Fair enough.

::hears Pilot and heads towards his voice::

Kansas arm all the remaining quantum torpedoes.

"She will be fine."

They want victory, but they won't have it...

Faldek, there must have been something ::pushes himself off ground to his feet:: that you didn't like about it. Just think how you can fix it in the next one.

+Security+ I am sure you heard that explosion. Prepare for the worse!

::hears the very loud explosion:: +Pilot+ What do you-- ::looks over to see Pilot standing next to him:: Oh, you're back. What the hell was that?

:: Looks at E.J. then follows him back inside the cave ::

::looks at McFly:: Two ships colliding.

That can't be good.

9:52 PM

+Faldek+ Commander do you read me? You guys didn't just go boom did you?

::shakes his head:: I would hope our people got out.

Tired and thirsty doctor....

I wish for a rifle and not a standard phaser

::lets out a deep long sigh as he heads towards the crew:: +McFly+ No, both fighters have been neutralized.

::sigh of relief::

+Faldek+ Wow. Congratulations. You may have just saved the crew.

::studies the Jem Haddar, hoping this one had a cloak but still catalogues its biographical features, etc::

Do you think there are any of them left on the planet? Should we be trying to be sneaky?

::to Karl:: You did get that distress signal beacon working, right?

+McFly+ That's my job. En route to the cave now.

KARL> She is pinging

I'm sure they have some ground forces left.

Rex> Frowning deeply

"Alright, so we have a firefight happening, but we're not sure who won?"

:: Scanning and scanning the poor souls ::

"And that the fighting was done with disruptors, which isn't a good sign."

"No, not at all."

"No stun." :: sighs ::

Rex> I am pretty sure the invaders won. Frowns The command center should be this way. Points behind them

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Disruptor out, he nodded.:: Let's head to the command center. Everyone keep together.

William looks to where Rex pointed. "That would make sense." William pulls out a phaser and starts that way carefully.

Irene swaps her tricorder for her phaser. "This computer's not helpful. Command center probably will be."

Rex> Taking up the rear. His security officers had fanned out, but hadn't found anything apparently yet.

"Pardon me if I don't pull out a phaser."

"Do they still have doctors swear to do no harm?"

"People shooting disruptors at you should be an exception..."

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Even doctors have the right to protect themsevles. ::Glancing back at Indaura.::

"Meant more as a personal belief, rather than laws of war."

"Yes they do."

Rex> I don't think it will come to it but, better safe than killed with a disruptor.

9:21 PM

ACTION> The team passes several more signs of a fire fight until the come to the entrance of the main command area of the small station. There's some energy scarring on the door as if it's been hit with a disruptor more than once, but its no longer locked and slides open as they approach.

9:22 PM

ACTION> The Main Control Center is a mess like the rest of the station. It's clear this is where they made their final stand but it wasn't enough and there are several more bodies here of various Federation races.

"So glad I'm wearing a rebreather mask." William said as he entered the room. "Alright, where's the main computer?" William pokes around a bit.

She advances slowly. "Looks more like a siege than a firefight." Getting into the control center, Irene takes her tricorder back out. "Terminal's over here."

Rex> Takes a look around wearily. He'd seen more than his fair share of scenes like this before, but it never got easy.

William follows Irene to the terminal and plugs into it. "Let's see what you have to tell us."

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Steps away while the others are investigating the terminal to report back to Excalibur on what they've found thus far.::

"Did they record this firefight?"

ACTION> The sensor logs have been forcibly wiped using crude, if effective, measures: the data core has taken a shot (or three) from a disruptor. Only fragments are available.

"Damnit it all to hell. It's fragmented as hell."

"Answers that.." :: sighs again ::

Rex> Well thats one way to wipe a data core. Frowns

"And probably the single most effective way. Unless you want to reuse it."

Irene scans what's left of the memory core. "I don't think I'm going to get much out of this, and I don't know if stations this old keep backups anywhere."

"Given who the occupants were, I'm not sure they were doing diligent backups."

Rex> Well seems like they didn't want anyone following their tracks. Moves over to another console. Communications logs are fragged too. There's an entry from a few months ago, but its been lost. These stations were mostly setup for civilian usage so there's not much robustness in the way of security or other kind of systems.

"Just what is working?"

"Life support?"

Irene> "Yeah, that's about it. Everything else here is shot up. Nothing's left up here that I can pull any data off of."

Rex> What about subsystem usage? It might not tell us who was doing something, but we could maybe get a reliable account of what they were doing at least up to the attack.

"That's probably still there. I can certainly try." William starts poking around in the computer system.

Rex> And for how long

Irene hrms and starts working with Will at the computer. "Engineering power statistics?"

(( Irene and Will give me a number 1-20 ))

(( 8 ))

ACTION> Working together, Will and Irene find not only the subsystem logs, but also a number of logs for primary and other systems completely in tact, including the transporter systems -- providing a detailed record of station activities for the last six months -- when the station was apparently brought back on line.

"Whoo! Jackpot! Relatively speaking."

(Sorry, stepped away for a sec right then.)

9:52 PM

"Yeah, looks like they didn't get all the logs when they shot up the place. We've got a bunch of engineering and system usage info going back to when they turned this place on again."

"Yeah, a whole lot of data there."

Rex> First bit of good news.

9:55 PM

Rex> Taps a few buttons It looks like the stations sensor equipment is also still functionl. Considers Irene, could we use this to get a better scan of the planet than Excalibur? I know our sensors are advanced and this stuff is older but its pretty high quality imaging.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Returns after giving his report.:: So, how bad is it? Is there anything we can salvage?

"We have subsystem usage logs, and logs for a bunch of the systems in use. Otherwise the data core was destroyed."

Rex> To be honest, this equipment alone was probably worth more on the black market than any of the mining equipment they stole.

"Gather all we can."

"Well, a stabilized platform is going to give you better resolution than a moving ship, that's for sure. The station is designed specifically for that kind of work, so I'd say we might be able to pick things up that Excalibur would miss."

Rex> Worth a try then.

William starts gathering up the data so that they can analyze it later.

"Definitely worth a try. I'll see if I can set that up here." She starts working at one of the few consoles that's still functioning.

(Wow lost track of time)

So, night shift reported several more energy pulses. Counter frequencies prevented any disruption to power. The pattern of attacks would indicate deliberate attempts, not natural.

::looks at the energy pulses::

What thoughts do we have on our situation?

Other side signaling?

"This makes a transition even more perilous."

9:15 PM

"Is it a cry for help, or are they trying to break us?"

Either answer, we need to stop them.

"If you need me to go I'm prepared to, just let me know."

Do we have a procedure down for setting up the return portal?

"Yes, we have it down, through a lot of work overnight, to ten minutes."

Good work.

9:20 PM

As of now, my plan is to send a security squad in first.

:: Points to a display of the first portal :: "It's ready to go now."

They have 5 minutes to secure the area and then engineering and command go through, followed by medical.

:: Checks something on his padd ::

If the security squad runs into trouble, they will send a high frequency burst. Hopefully, we can pick something of that up and be ready, but it's actually a long shot we'll get any notice of trouble until we're across.

"Engineering is ready."

::Mimi:: Doctor, anything to add? Is Medican ready?

I have nothing to add and medical is ready

9:33 PM

I'll be coming along.

You focus on getting that portal up once we're across.

:: Preparing for anything in this sector of space ::

William monitors the various engineering things from the Engineering station on the bridge. "Everything's within parameters right now."

Irene's at her usual spot at the science station. "Nothing weirder than normal on scan."

Anything on sensors inside the system itself?

9:12 PM

Rex> Frowns Nothing on sensors yet, but they could be use sensoring masking techniques. It's not like wildcatters are going to fly a flag and say here we are.

"Would be a lot easier if they did."

Irene> "Well, there could be traces of radioactive ores from the original mine on the equipment."

Rex> tips his head to Irene

9:13 PM

Any way we can scan for that?

Irene> "It'd have to be a lot of radioactive decay to find it at this distance, but I can set up the sensors to look. If we can get an idea of where specifically to search, it'd be a lot easier."

How long until we enter the system?

Val> "At current speed, 20 minutes?"

Rex> Frowns at the sensor readings Still nothing on sensors.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Attention wavering between his chair console and the data padd in his hand.::

"Do we need more power to the sensors?"

Irene> "It couldn't hurt, but it's still going to be finding a needle in a haystack."

"Figured I'd offer."

A small part of him hoped they didn't find anything. If they didn't, well, his curiosity would be saited and they could head out. But if Starfleet didn't expect them to find anything, wouldn't they have just let him look into this anyway? Not send them out to the otherside of the sector to scan for "gaseous anomalies"

William adjusts the power balancing. "Hope this helps."

Rex> There's an old Federation observatory in orbit of the fourth planet. It hasn't been used in years, but if I were running a smuggling/wildcat mining operation you can bet I'd take advantage of that --

"That's a good point."

Irene> "That would be a good place to start."

Nods

9:28 PM

Rex> At this range though we should be able to get something on sensors if they were. Pulls up the main viewer

Irene> Concentrating on the science panel pretty closely. "I've tuned the medium-range scanner to pick up the mine's radiographic decay signature, so we should be able to see something if so."

ACTION> Irene's scans seems to pick up very faint signatures on the third planet -- a rocky, though still barely M-class planet. There also appears to be the tell-tell signatures of Tetracite on the planet. The observatory, an older scientific station, appears on the main screen. From our vantage point it has seen better days.

9:36 PM

Helm, put in an intercept course for the station. Yellow Alert. Jalen Take an away team over. Rex is right, wildcatters wouldn't just leave that station abandoned.

Irene> Hmmmm. "You're right in your assessment of the station but I'm picking up radioactive traces on the third planet, sir. I'm not getting anything from the station."

(( for visual aid, the observatory is basically the same type as the Amargosa one in Generations))

9:39 PM

Glances over to Irene Noted. We can stop by the station first then head to the third planet. Looks to Jalen I have an incredibly bad feeling about this.

Irene> "It's a standard observatory from about 40 years ago, so our tricorders will have the station layout preloaded."

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Nods.:: Isn't that always the way? ::Turns as he stands.:: Rex, get a team together. Mincine, Chocox, meet in the transporter room. We're going to need those isotope trackers.

"Aye sir."

Irene> "Meet you there." She heads for the turbolift.

Stands straightening his uniform as the station fills the screen as Excalibur enters orbit

William heads for the turbolift as well.

Rex> Nods and taps a few buttons before heading out

9:45 PM

Clark> Looks over to Val, he didn't like it when Swain was all ominious and stuff

Val> Whispering. "I wouldn't want to be on that away team."

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Taps his comm as he strides out.:: +Indaura+ Doctor, I need you for an away team. Report to the transporter room with your kit.

Rex> Using the clipping magic of tv, Rex and a small security team arrive in the transporter room.

"Hello Rex."

+bridge+ on my way

Clark> Nods with a frown Sir, I am not detecting any life signs, but the obervatory's life support systems are functional.

Irene arrives next, with those sensor enhancer sticks strapped around her back along with her satchel of science equipment. "Who're we waiting for?"

"I think the doctor?"

:: enters the transporter room ::

Rex> Slings a phaser riffle over his shoulder, it was probably overkill but he'd learned, at least with Excalibur, to be overly cautious.

9:51 PM

Rex> Glances up as the doctor enters and head nods his crew to get on the transporter pad

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Everyone here? ::Takes a sweeping glance and nods as he steps up onto the transporter padd.:: Then let's go.

9:52 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> +Bridge+ Ready to transport.

William steps up with his gear.

Irene> "Bringing the artillery?" At the phaser rifle, as she gets up on the pad.

+Jalen+ Clear for transport.

9:53 PM

TransporterChief> Beaming you over.

9:55 PM

ACTION> The Excalibur team beams over to the observatory, planted down in a corridor just outside the main "commons" area of the station. The lights are flickering on and off and it is, immediately, clear that there has been some sort of fire fight on the station. Cargo containers have been erected in the hallway as makeshift barricades. A human male is laying across one of them with severe disruptor burns. The scene looks a few days old at least.

"Huh...well then. I think we may have found our smugglers."

Cdr Jalen Stanton> And someone came after them?

9:56 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Or infighting?

William puts a mask over his mouth and nose. "We'd probably need to see what route the fighting took."

Rex> Frowns These are consistent with a type 3 disruptor.

Irene> Examining the scene with her tricorder as soon as she materializes. "This place is shot up pretty badly but the atmosphere is stable. This fight took place at least a few days ago, so I guess we just missed whoever we were after."

Rex> Looks like they were using these old cargo containers to barricade themselves in the commons area. Frowns We should take a look in there.

10:00 PM

Rex> Looks to Will and Irene Maybe the station logs can give us an idea of what was going on here.

"That's a good idea."

"The air smells off."

Rex> He glances to the somewhat shook security officers he'd brought with them. Morel, Thomas secure the perimeter.

Irene> She finds a terminal and hooks up her tricorder. "OK, let's see what the computer has to say about what happened."

:: Scans the male ::

"That's why I put the mask on."

ACTION> Nothing unusual about the dead body other than it's a dead body. Cause of death is several disruptor hits in close quarters. The energy signature is, as Rex concluded, consistent with a Type 3 disruptor -- which narrows it down to Klingon, Romulans, or Breen.

Hello

We left off last week with some strange surges effecting our power grid. Those seem to have been countered but the source is still unclear, except it seems to be coming from or a result of the portal.

9:01 PM

::wondering about these power surges::

Systems seem stable now.

9:06 PM

Anyone have a theory of what just happened?

Can they drain power from the other side?

What if it's amplified on the other side?

Without more data from the other side, unclear.

::Looks out at the lights::

It may be possible to use a property from the other side to affect us.

Suggestions?

There may be only one way to determine if this is coming from the other side. But it makes it potentially dangerous to not have a quick way back.

::looks between Nijil and Sylfaen:: We could look at the data we have from the other dimension and see if there is something that could affect the communication of the device to us.

Let's start reviewing the data AND prepare for a recon, in force.

::nods and starts reviewing the data::

I'd recruit Muuhi, but here gift has not arrived yet.

As few variables to consider as possible, the better.

We are placing backups for the power just in case. :: thinks:: Were there not records of anything like this before the colonies arrived

9:26 PM

?

Nothing. But then, it was my working theory that the Federation Colonies nav beacon was having a passive effect of countering or discouraging transitions in their area.

9:28 PM

It definitively was painful. That probably kept the wildlife away.

I feel paralyzed until we can get this under control.

9:31 PM

Then again I'm not a study of transdimensionalism.

I prefer to keep my problems confined to one astral plane at a time, if at all possible.

Or timeline.

I agree, it becomes a headache after awhile

None of my travels help me here. I wonder if something can be both here and there.

If it can, it probably aleady exists we just haven't found it yet.

9:38 PM

If we knew what to look for, might be useful.

:: laughs :: I was thinking of a long pole, but I don't think an object traverses until it's completely past the field.

::glances towards Mimi:: I'm going to have security on stand bye. Things seem to be stable. We'll reconvene in the morning. But at that time we need to have a plan and act quickly. And the default plan is to go through the portal and find for ourselves what's going on.

::nods:: Understood.

::Mimi:: I was an extra squad of medics prepped. Either we're going to find refugees in trouble or we're going to find ourselves in trouble.

::Sylfaen:: I'll have two teams of medics ready. I also recommend that we have some type tethering device so we have an anchor to get back much like when we all went to the other dimension.

Are we proceeding with the construction of the return portal?

Yes, we'll be putting it together ourselves it seems.

::relays a message to medical to have two teams of medics ready on stand-by in the morning::

Some assembly required.

Just make sure we bring all the parts.

9:54 PM

We'll be a long way from a replimat if we need something/

Aye.

We'll pick up next week the following morning. We'll review our ideas then head into the breach, as it were.

hi

9:02 PM

Last week: the Finland started approaching a system as the computer tried (but mostly failed) to slow it down, as the warp drive is now under manual control... meanwhile, all the computers are showing everything delayed

9:02 PM

Arcadia is on the way, and might get there at some point....

9:02 PM

And the Genesis device is slowly powering up uncontrollably...

9:02 PM

and can't be launched

9:02 PM

Any sim-related q's before we start?

Tbs?

Before or after you crash into the system's sun?

9:04 PM

Pick one?

Before does sound preferable.

yeah

ok, so you're on your way into the system...aimed for a planet...

Oh, lovely.

the computer probably planned to orbit it

9:07 PM

let's see if you can drop out of warp

i wonder if we just made everything worse

anything else?

has the fleet done anything that we've noticed?

the Romulans? nope...

okay. that's what i thought and we're too busy not dying to pay attention (edited)

They seem strangely fine with this old Federation ship going through their space

+McFly+ Sir....Both Cores are scrammed, in safe mode...The Nacelles are lost....we were hit by some beam weapon that cut into the deck above Main Engineering...the safety systems.. prevented catastrophic explosion.

::re-holsters his mek'leth, goes to help KK onto the bridge:: Welcome to what's left of the bridge Commander.

Your console’s still working? ::to Bren::

::To Annika:: P...parts of it will light up? heh...

That's also good to hear. +Security+ Arm yourselves and secure all decks. Report any Jem Hadar sightings.

I imagine the Jem'Hadar will be around shortly to finish the job.

Half of this works ::shrugs::

::to EJ:: What are the odds of this thing protecting us?

Well we've got several shuttles and runabouts between the three shuttlebays, but not nearly enough to evacuate even a quarter of the crew...

If they continue to fire volleys like next to nothing. I suggest we may want to take cover under the trees in the forest. (edited)

They are hitting just the ablative armor....keep the power on for the captain...that is all we can do.

I agree, we need to get transport inhibitors and life sign dampeners and head for the trees (edited)

I agree. Help everyone get off the ship. Have your men keep a watch on any soldiers walking through.

::looks at Faldek:: I wonder if the Chimera and other shuttles are still flyable...?

:: Stumbles as he moved away from Ops as the ship was hit ::

Alright,let's go, let's go. Everyone off the bridge. We're in one of the precarious places on the ship.

:::Gets to her feet, Helps McFly to his feet::

One could assume that. The magnetic locks should have kept them in place, unless they somehow got disabled.

::looks at McFly:: Captain, I think we should at least check that would give us a way to survey and protect ourselves as we evac...

:: stuggles to keep moving...using the wall to steady her moves ::

::looking his mother in the eye for what he feels is the last time:: Time hasn't changed. I'm still here. It's all happening exactly as it did before. We have to destroy that station. I don't know how but we have to do it.

::notices Callista falling unconscious, stops and picks her up::

::looks to Harnett:: I am no full fledge Doctor but you look like you're in discomfort.

::carrying Callista towards the the trees and the rest of the crew::

::looks at both of them in disbelief:: What the hell do you expect to do in a shuttle?

::looks at Harnett:: You are one tough Vulcan. You just missed your heart. Just bruised ribs. Compression wrap should hold it in place.

::safely under some trees for cover:: What now?

:: His pointy ears picked up McFly's yelling as he felt the pain mads kick in, turns to look towards McFly and Faldek ::

No Captain, you need to stay here with the crew.

::looks at Faldek and McFly:: Wonder what is going on?

:::Runs as fast as she can with Nate:::

::stops walking when the brass do::

+Tevek+ Doctor, do you have any compression wrap for bruised ribs?

::sees Faldek and the captain but is out of earshot, leans on a tree::

::sighs:: They have you and Pilot.

9:56 PM

I have to stop them.

::looks at the results of brain scan on tricorder to see if the concussion is worse than it was on the ship::

:: clearly not going anywhere ::

Your place is here. You are not expendable.

And at this point they're probably right. That thing needs to be destroyed. Nathan has been right about almost everything so far.

Matt! I was a spy, I know how to blow things up.

+Pilot+ I believe there is one in my Medkit. I am currently evaluating Lt. Tyrel's concussion.

::reaches the ship with Kansas; climbs back up into the airlock with her::

How?! How are you going to blow it? With a shuttle!

+Tevek+ Copy that Doctor. If possible I'd like to borrow that for Lt Harnett. I will come to you.

:::Pulls the manual hatch and opens the shuttle bay doors;::

I didn't actually mean we were going to do it. ::shrugs:: I was just like, going to... I don't know.

::looks at Harnett:: You stay here. That is an order.

::Clears his throat and spits... the resulting spot at his feet is dark gray and... sparkly?:: Captain, Commander, I think I can be of assistance here. I am pretty familiar, at this point, with the weapon. I am confident the two of us can make some fireworks.

:: Raised an eyebrow at Pilot's order ::

I also used to be the chief engineer, so I can figure it out if it isn't blatantly apparent. If the Chimera is operable, she can make it. I still have some tricks up my sleeve. Also what he said.

+Pilot+ You are welcome to borrow it.

The what?

::begins looking around for Tevek while remembering where Harnett is::

Taggerts thing? You mean it actually works?

goodnight folks and good luck

((Later Cali))

::she sees the Captain, Commander and Bren, and heads to where the others were::

Yes. But no. BUt yes.... for our purposes it can be used to destroy the station.

::looks at Callista's tricorder scan readings...does not appear to be any new injuries::

::sees Tevek and heads over::

::thinks for a hard minute then looks at Faldek:: You KNOW you can actually do it?

If I know one thing, it's how to make the boom.

::sees Pilot and gestures to where his medkit is, goes back to Callista's results::

:::Climbs into Nates shuttle::: Lets hope it still works

::sets up in his runabout he arrived in our timeline with; starts it up::

Questions or comments?

The security officers will have gotten rations and stuffs...

MISSION BRIEFING: Excalibur's crew have made notable progress on the various pieces of work they are doing on Xenex -- water pumping has begun without any hitches so far, and the biology teams have begun seeding small areas with new plant life. Looming over this, however, is the news from Lt. Commander Rex regarding the stolen equipment from the mine we visited before coming to Xenex. Swain has requested permission from Starfleet Command for Excalibur to be relieved of their operations on Xenex to pursue the matter further. As a result, both the science and engineering teams have been instructed to be prepared to withdrawl. The locals, and the engineering corps, are less than thrilled about this development but have not yet made any official complaints.

Irene is packing up some of the larger survey equipment with a bunch of blueshirts. "I was hoping we'd have longer to remain here..."

Ens Reynolds> ::They'd made some progress, but not enough for his liking. He was busy loading up for transport.::

William was loading things up too. “Always chasing something.”

On the bridge, drinking tea. He knew the locals would be less than thrilled with his desire to leave the system with the work only partially done, but he also wanted to solve the mystery of the mining equipment. If it was left in the hands of Fleet Intelligence... who knew when it would be resolved? And something, he couldn't say exactly what but something in his gut, told him this was important. Anything from Command?

9:16 PM

It was a dumb question because obviously Clark or anyone else on the bridge would have told him if a message had came in for him, but he was anxious and anxious people ask stupid questions.

9:16 PM

Clark> Shakes is head. No, sir. Nothing since your last communique.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Glances at Swain from his usual seat.:: Antsy?

Crunik> Frowns at Will. He'd done a good job of largely masking his annoyance with the Excalibur's commanding officer and trying to not let that effect his relationship with their engineering team who he'd found to be, shocklingly, competent for a bunch of fleeters.

“I’m not much happier about this Crunik.”

Ens Reynolds> ::sighs.:: Yea, it's just orders. We'd much rather finish a project. Leaving one unfinished gives me hives.

Val> "Expecting something, Cap?"

Drinks his tea and sits down in the command seat. This is why I liked commanding the Cassini. Two, three year missions where I didn't have to ask Command everytime I wanted to do something.

“Same.”

:: resting from her work with medical ::

Crunik> Will and Reynolds Pumps are operating above expected efficency levels. We were worried whatver goop is on the bottom of the lake would start clogging the pipes. Frowns I guess it still could. Shame we might have to orient a whole new crew of engineers to this stuff.

9:22 PM

Clark> lowly to Val He's sent like 5 messages to HQ this morning.

Ens Reynolds> Well, the filtration is still operating pretty well. I'd just keep an eye on it and the secondary to keep that from happening.

Val> "Heard anything about why?" She responds sotto as well.

9:25 PM

Irene> "OK, prep this set of equipment cases for transport up to cargo bay... 3." Pointing to a stack of black plastic tubs with yellow lids.

Ckarj> Frowns Not really. Terinos said he heard Rex got a tip on the mining stuff.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> We could always just go rogue. ::Smirks at his captain.::

I believe I am expliocitly banned from that for a while.

“Yeah, that’s the most likely failure point.”

Val> Whispering. "Is it that important? It's just a bunch of 50-year-old phaser drills and ore processors, isn't it?"

Clark> Shrugs

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Chuckles.:: Good point.

ACTION> Clark gets an incoming, coded message from Starfleet Command.

9:31 PM

Clark> Captain, I have something for you from Command.

Ens Reynolds> ::Finishes with the last crate and gave it a smack.:: All done, Chief.

Looks to Jalen and motions to his RR I'll take it in the Ready Room. Jalen, let's see what Command has to say.

Val> Whispering once more to Clark. "You may have already won ten thousand bars of latinum, please insert your command access code here."

“Thanks Reynolds.” He extends a hand to Crunik. “I’m sorry I couldn’t be more useful.”

Crunik> I suppose I should have expected Fleet to cut and run sooner rather than later. Nothing against you Chocox, but you know how Redshirts are.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Nods, and rises to follow him.::

William looks down at his uniform. “Did I spill some pasta sauce?”

Crunik> Smirks

:: working on computer models of the ailment plaguing these people. ::

Enters his RR and spins the monitor around so Jalen can watch too. He tapped in his security code and the spinning Delta was quickly replaced by a Caitian Admiral.

9:36 PM

Chiza> Captain, Commander. The Caitian's expression was impenetrable. We've reviewed your request.

9:37 PM

Crunik> You don't supposed, if you are ordered away, you could possibly "forget" to take some of your supplies with you?

William pushes some supplies of the transport. “Oops. So clumsy of me.”

Clark> Val I am going to guess we'll know soon enough. Message was pretty high level priority.

Ens Reynolds> ::Tilts his head at the transport wagon.:: This wagon is having mobility issues. I think it's broken. If we had more time I could fix it. I guess we'll have to leave all this here. ::Smacks the small stack of crates.::

Val> "Hope it's more fun than digging ditches..."

“Aw shucks.”

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Inclines head to the Admiral.::

Clark> Careful what you wish for.

:: Every so often she'd send processing requests back to her shop, allowing the processing power there to work on the problems ::

Nods to the Admiral. He'd never met her, but had heard of her at least. Sometimes he wondered just how many random Admirals starfleet had.

9:42 PM

Chiza> I am afraid you won't like what our decision is on the subject, either. Again the Admiral remained placid Setting aside questions of just how you learned about this information, I am afraid that we do not believe this is a mission that Excalibur is best equipped to handle. She raised a paw before Swain or Jalen could protest. Rest assured that Starfleet is investigating further, but we don't believe this is something in your portfolio.

((I swear, on my grandparents’ combined grave…))

He couldn't help but frown

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::He frowned, but didn't comment. Instead, he looked to Swain, not liking his expression.::

I see.

9:45 PM

I see.

Val> "The captain of my fleet carrier during the Dominion War, he kept a list of the favorite snack and favorite drink of every admiral he knew. Makes Command more pliable."

Chiza> However, we have dispatched the San Vincente to relieve Excalibur from her duties on Xenex. You are, once you’ve pulled your people back from Xenex, to get underway to the Galarin Cluster to take over from the Hood on a mapping of gaseous anomalies in the region.

9:49 PM

Rex> Enters the bridge, looking towards the RR and then Clark and Val Captain in his chambers then?

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::He sat back, knowing Swain wasn't going to take this easily.::

_Blinks at the Caitian, whose expression remained unmoved_The... gaseous anomoly mapping?

Ens Reynolds> Good luck! Hope it goes well for you.

Val> "Yep, finally got a reply to his like fifty messages he sent to HQ."

Chiza> Smiles mirthlessly Yes Captain. It's along an important trade route so its important for navigation.

“Yes, good luck.”

Chiza> Any further questions, Captain?

9:52 PM

Bites his lip. No, Admiral. We'll get our crew back up and head out. Been a while since I mapped, gaseous anomolies.

9:53 PM

Chiza> Cuts the comm

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::He let out a breath.:: Was that for real? Giving us permission without giving us permission?

Unlikely. But you know, if we happen to swing by the Dakaris system on the way to the Galaris Cluster.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Exactly.

We'll ignore that it's in the opposite direction.

9:56 PM

Sets his tea down. Unless you think we should follow Command's orders.

9:57 PM

Rex> Slips behind the tactical console.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Raises both his hand in feigned innocence.:: Sorry, I'm just following orders. ::Grins.::

Very well. Get everyone back up from the surface. Then we'll head for the Dakaris system. (edited)

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Aye, sir. ::Rises and strides out onto the bridge.:: Recall the crew. I want everyone back within the half hour. We're leaving.

Clark> looks over to Val for a second, then nods Yes, Commander. sends out the messages

We are ready. Message of our plans is encased in a care package.

Already, let's give it a go.

::reclines in a chair and reads a PADD::

9:13 PM

Portal closing.

Good.

Now we ready the return portal.

We have the remote site just about set up and crews will be finished with the beacon. Which, will also prevent cross overs within the colony grounds. Next run will need to be at the site

Hopefully the rations and medical supplies will be used properly

9:19 PM

Capacitor is charging.

The worst part is waiting and hoping.

:: pops up in medical:: I must be on a timer.

Nurse> Maybe you are. Hm.

I have wonder if the refugees have managed to piece together what happened themselves.

9:23 PM

Still a lot unknown about them.

I agree.

I thought they perished

9:24 PM

Looked like a forcefield

::props her feet up on her end table and watches a holo-flick::

Hopefully they survived the transit. Though, maybe we were just lucky when we crossed over we didn't find ourselves inside a hillside or something.

One would think that, but what if it wasn't. They could have been looking for some mytho planet and this was it

It's not a dimension crossover in our records. Unique to this planet

How much do we really know about this planet?

Not enough. nothing like Yith either

The fact that the Federation colony had been here for a number of years led command to think there were fewer "variables" to deal with. That did seem to be a mistake.

Perhaps a good mapping of the system would help.

Then again we may just attract problems.

9:33 PM

Probably a good idea.

Probes can crawl the nebula

ACTION> Perimeter alert is triggered.

::moves over to a flashing console:: Uhhh... we got a perimeter alert

9:38 PM

::pulls up the area::

::checking the sensors::

9:39 PM

Nothing on normal sensors but something is setting the system off.

Subspace maybe?

Probably.

9:40 PM

I suppose it would be good if our message in a bottle caught someones attention.

::scans subspace in that area:: Scanning subspace in the area

Did somebody get out?

Not sure. Getting some odd energy pulses.

9:44 PM

Might be some type of scanning beam.

9:44 PM

Or just someone knocking on our door.

9:45 PM

::Nijil:: Anything of this seem like Romulan tech or patterns?

::cross-references the readings with all information in the database::

Nothing in normal military circles. Tal Shiar?

Oh please no.

I presume anything on them at the time would have transferred over, so perhaps a makeshift device.

9:48 PM

Nothing to say they don't know more than we do about this either.

Are they still testing that portal Niji told me about? :: to the nurse ::

Such comforting thoughts.

I know somethings about wormholes and mental transference, but I'm not sure that applies here.

See if we can use any of this data to find a way to respond, if this is a message or attempt to communicate.

Nurse> As far as I know, they were. I’m not sure though, they don’t tell us much.

Nijil, setting up a live feed to you ::taps a few buttons to Nijil's station::

Attempting to reply with what we recorded.

Pulses are increasing in strength. Harmonizing. Something may be locking on.

Configuring our reply.

9:56 PM

They may be attempting some kind of breech.

ACTION> An energy spike is detected and power throughout the colony goes out for a few seconds.

Oh no. What was that?

::sees the power go out for a bit:: Uhhh... what the...

I don't like that.

I will try an inverse wave response.

Do it.

Activate backup power. Keep units 3 and 4 on standbye.

::activates the backup power, has units 3 and 4 on standby::

Holodeck / arcadia

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

Between 10/18/2023 9:02 PM and 10/18/2023 10:09 PM

here

Coming soon to a sim near you...

9:05 PM

Last week on USS Arcadia: The crew on USS Finland, now headed at high warp toward Remus, managed to get a message through to Arcadia (via a Federation listening post). Arcadia is on the way -- through Romulan space, but won't be able to make it in time unless Finland can be slowed down. Meanwhile, the Genesis device, which has no working guidance system anymore, had leaked some protomatter into its reaction chamber, slowly starting the reaction.

9:05 PM

Any sim-related questions before we start?

None here

+Arcadia+ I can certainly try.

9:08 PM

::rushing to engine room::

+Z+ if you can hear us, we've broken the weapon and it has no guidance system, the ship is hot requesting immediate beam out

9:09 PM

::heading toward the engine room since she's done all she can for the bomb::

9:10 PM

Dana is there any way we can hack the shuttle and beam ourselves on board? this ship will explode within the hour.

9:10 PM

before it gets to Remus, sooner if a shuttle were to fire on it

@+Dana+ We have your course plotted in. We're going to try to cut through the narrowest part of Romulan space to intercept. We will need to maintain subspace silence until we're within short range for communications.

9:11 PM

Finland's shuttle bay> strangely devoid of shuttles

There's no way to know if anything is near us, including Z's shuttle...she might be cloaked, she might just not be there.

9:12 PM

::arriving in engine room::

::also arriving::

9:12 PM

so are we just trying to vent fuel to slow the ship?

::begins running blinky things over shiny lines to manually reroute power away from the nacelles::

destroying engines?

9:13 PM

((if only we had a set of portable computers to mine bitcoin, that would drain the power quickly))

how can I help?

Venting fuel could work! You could certainly try that, but you'd have to do it manually, since we have zero computer control.

(( there you go! ))

Run this pulse emitter from this conduit to that one...hopefully we can brute-force divert enough power away from the nacelles to drop the ship's speed.

sure thing. ::runs the pulse emitter between the two conduits::

You too, Jasad...we need to get as much power diverted as possible.

9:17 PM

::meanwhile, he starts wiring a spare PADD directly to the warp core to be a makeshift speed control::

::looking around to see if there are any manual shutoffs for the warp drive::

::tries scanning with tricorder to see which matches reality better::

dana take a look at the consoles here

9:20 PM

they seem to be weird and not matching the padd

9:20 PM

are they just misconfigured

consoles> :: are showing everything with a time-delay ::

Yeah, seems like the PADD is right.

9:21 PM

Maybe the automation is causing the delay because it wasn't configured with passengers in mind?

9:22 PM

::anyhow, tries reducing speed from PADD::

::back to looking for valves and twisty knobs::

warp core> :: intermix and other direct settings can be controlled directly by the padd ::

9:24 PM

(( think of the implication of all your information being delayed ))

::has fun remembering the inner workings of a warp core from back in Academy engineering class::

are the settings being transmitted to a nearby ship and then back? is that the cause of the delay?

::lowers dilithium injection rate while keeping intermix steady::

9:26 PM

Could be.

9:26 PM

Seems like a strange way to wire it, though.

but it would explain why every time we make changes it goes back to how it was

9:27 PM

can we cut the network connection somehow?

ship> :: is slower now ::

9:28 PM

console> :: does not yet reflect that the ship slowed down ::

OK, it's starting to slow down.

how much time have we gained?

I don't think so...the automation systems are tuned to prevent tampering from within.

9:29 PM

We've gained about fifteen minutes...hopefully I can get a bit more out of this.

Romulan computers> :: working to "correct" the intermix ratios.... ::

::struggling against romulan computers inadvertantly trying to blow the ship up::

if it gets to within 20 minutes of Remus, I think we should fire on the warp core to destroy the ship

Oh don't worry...the automation system will blow the ship up all by itself at this point.

great!

I'm the only one keeping us alive.

:: Working on the power :: I'm doing all I can remember.

if only someone would beam us off

You're doing great, kid...we'll get you a proper checkup back on the Arc in no time.

9:32 PM

((I assume Jasad is younger since she's an ensign))

9:32 PM

((Then again Harry Kim))

::doesn't mention the odds of getting bakc on the arc are pretty low::

Arc?

::also throttles flow of energy out of warp core::

9:33 PM

::vents extra heat into space::

9:33 PM

Yeah, our ship. The Arcadia.

9:33 PM

You're in Science. Great gig, right out of the Academy.

(( Ensign forever!))

((like howell!))

((or Howell... ))

((is he like 40?))

9:35 PM

It's a great ship

9:35 PM

we'll be back soon and you can hang out in the holodeck

9:36 PM

~~we'll get you a pony, I'm sure the captain won't mind~~

::continues resetting intermix to non-destructive values::

::looks for other likely rewiring candidates::

Really? I hope this comes back to me. :: working on power distrubution ::

9:38 PM

Romulan computers> :: can't override manual control ::

::is smug he finally got one over on them::

(( if you pull all the levers yourself, you can even have full control of the ship ))

((Assuming you don't get confused and turn yourself into an antimatter bomb))

::starts pulling a lever::

9:40 PM

how's the speed now?

::vents more power, restricts outflow further::

I have a feeling...maybe astrophysics? Planetary? :: turns her attention back to the controls ::

We've bought ourselves about an hour...gives the Arc a much better shot at intercepting.

is it still exploding if we stop working on it?

Jasad would know better, but I don't think she's up to the calculations at the moment.

i can take over

Eh, probably? It's not as explodey as it had been.

9:42 PM

No, I meant for the calculations on how long we bought ourselves.

9:42 PM

She seems to be doing the wiring fine.

9:42 PM

I guess mandatory engineering classes never do go away...

console> :: updates to the new speed ::

::continues winding down warp core tiny bit at a time while keeping it stable::

::monitors the output::

warp core> :: winding down with the manual controls ::

looks like it's slowing down even more

Should be...I'm doing my best to slow down the warp core, and y'all are diverting power away from the nacelles.

(( what happens if the nacelles get too much power while the warp core underfeeds warp plasma or the reverse? ))

we should vent the plasma

((I assume boom?))

9:50 PM

Good point. ::gradually vents excess plasma, is feeling estatic and overwhelmed from running a warp core by hand::

::wonders if dana is high on warp fumes::

Now see, this, this is engineering. No safeties, no automation, just dilithium, matter, and antimatter, all running on the metal.

is it, though?

Romulan computer> :: is itself trying to slow the ship ::

9:55 PM

Romulan computer> :: but can't because the warp core is under manual control ::

Eh, this might be a bad sign...the automation is trying to slow the ship down.

9:56 PM

Arizhel, can you tap into the sensors and see if there's anything in the vicinity we need to know about?

sensors> :: don't respond, but aren't showing anything on the console ::

9:57 PM

ship> :: now at pretty low warp from what Dana is doing ::

::taps into comms to see if there's any relevant comm chatter::

::in the TL headed to the bridge::

Ah, we have two Jem’Hadar ships off our port bow. I can’t detect anymore Jem’Haddar ships on sensors.

Wait what?!

::follows Pilot::

KARL> Yeah, Good News Sir

They just appeared not to long ago.

::turns and looks at the screen seeing the romulan ships fighting with Jem'Hadar bugs::

9:10 PM

How is this good news?!

9:11 PM

Red alert!

9:11 PM

::exits the TL and goes to the helm, double takes::

::looking at the tricorder for the signal::

Changling at OPS> :: removes Mopar's corpse ::

KARL> Well... we don't have to What if any more ::Shrugs::

Changling2> :: becomes Mopar ::

Sanchez! Keep us at a distance.

9:12 PM

Karl!

::notes red alert, prepares sickbay for incoming wounded::

::attempts to keep us at distance:: Uh...

Karl, lock on to the away team, we need to beam them back

::enters ops and looks around for the solid away team

KARL> ::Gives a look:: Aye sir

I am giving it all she's got, but we're not moving!

Bloody hell, where is he?

What the hell?! ::walks over to helm and looks at the console:: McFly to +Engineering+ Why aren't we moving?!

::looking around::

:: hears the intitial red alert Klaxon and opens her eyes instinctively ::

:: Raises an eyebrow at the Red Alert klaxon, pausing from trying to unlock the armory :: +McFly+ Captain, engines and thrusters have been disabled...under Cmdr. Faldek's orders...

::looks around at the other changelings:: Find them! I want their kind erradicated from the station. It's time.

::looks up at the comm from Harnett:: Well then undo that please...

+Harnett+ What the frak?! Well turn them back on! Now!

::working on readying the other biobeds, glances over at the one Callista is on:: Lieutenant?

::notices the red alert and checks to see if the doors are still locked::

:: Turns, running down the corridor :: + McFly + We were on a collision course with the station, sir.... I will bring them back online, stand by!

My head hurts.....Is the ship in danger?

::taps on his console attempting to get us set up to move the hell out of the way::

::to Faldek and looks at the floor:: Is that him on the floor?

ACTION> A CHANGELING POSING AS AN OFFICER RUNS INTO PILOT; IMMEDIATELY HE SMIRKS AT EJ THEN CHANGES HIS HAND INTO A LIQUID TENTACLE AND GRABS AHOLD OF EJ'S LEG HOLDING HIM UPSIDEDOWN

::walks over to Callista's bed:: It is only logical that your head hurts, you did suffer from a concussion. I do not know the exact nature of the ship's danger, but I assume it exists since the red alert has been activated.

Kahlesss!!! ::reaches for his mek'leth, then slices the tentacle::

::spots a foot, then approaches faster, seeing Jaenke laying on the floor unconscious:: Pilot!

:: Nearly slides past the doorway, running inside, he flips open the isoliniear chip panel, reaching in and grabbing the chips from behind it::

::readies his phaser, aiming at the changeling, fires::

::gets up off of the ground:: Thank you for the assist. And with that we've overstayed our welcome.

:: Quickly inserts the chips back into the panel, tapping a few commands into the LCARS panel next to it, then shutting the panel :: + Bridge + Impulse and thruster controls restored!

:: her hand reaches for her face and feels something on her face...some sort of plastic plate over her recovering wounds ::

+Faldek+ Commander, stand by for beaming. We need to get out of here.

::leads a small charge of Changelings in Faldek's direction::

::moves us away from the Jem hadar but staying within transporter range::

+McFly+ Sooner than later Captain! We're under attack!

Fake Mopar> The Romulans and the Federation must not work together...

+Faldek+ Of course you are

::grabs up Jaenke in a fireman's carry::

Bridge Changeling> The Solids must not unite.

::notes Callista's hand movement:: I would ask that you try to refrain from touching your face. You suffered from plasma burns and the treatment is not fully complete yet.

:: Heads out of impulse control and sprints to the nearest TL :: Bridge.

+Harnett+ Very good Lt. Now get your ass to the bridge!

::switches out his mek'leth for a phaser rifle set to heavy stun:: Bring it you smoothie walking jello shots!

Oh no....Oh no......:: gets anxious sending her pulse up :: oh no.....

+McFly+ On my way, sir.

::watching for more enemies and will fire upon them::

Karl! Have you found the team yet?

Keen> ::antsy seeing his whole crew turn into changelings, looks for an exit::

::notes the increasing pulse rate:: Please try to remain clam, Lieutenant. There is unlikely to be permanent damage...as long as you let the treatment run its course without interference.

Today is not a good day to die, if you were wondering.

+McFly+ We have their Chief Science officer with us, Commnader Keen, needs to be included in the transport out.

:: A few seconds later, the TL opens and he sprints down the ramp to Ops, sliding into his seat::

+Faldek+ That's all you found?

::in the mess hall drinking::

+Faldek+ Get them near you so we can lock on.

::still watching for more changelings::

+McFly+ Jaenke was supposed to be tagging humanoids with Mopar, now we found him knocked out in the hallway alone.

::scans the area, looking for more Romulans or Jem’Haddar::

My face...my face....:....oh dear.....

::sighs:: You got that Karl? Make sure you find everyone

Everybody close in, backs to each other, circle all around defense!

KARL> Understood

::circles up, phaser drawn::

::backs in circle defense, setting his rifle to heavy stun max::

Fake Mopar> Target the Warbird....maximum Phaser power.

::walks in to find the away team all huddled together:: The one thing I appreciate about you solids, you always huddle together to make killing you all at once so easy.

OPS Changling> :: taps console...and fires ::

::aims at Taggert and fires his phaser::

::Fires at Taggert as well, almost gladly::

Karl! Get them out of there once you have them

Fake Mopar> That will surprise the Manticore Commander....

::cursing in Klingonese::

KARL> ::Pokes console:: Locking on them now

Keen> ::also fires at Taggert and the changelings::

::finishes assembling hypospray and applies:: This should help with your headache. The burn wounds on your face are undergoing treatment. They have the best chance of success if you do not interfere.

KARL> ::Beams Away Team back::

::takes a deep breath and looks Karl dead in the eye:: And Karl, power up the PK. We need to destroy that station.

:: Taps away at his console ::

Sorry my plan didn't work

Fake Mopar> Target the last Warbird... Maximum firepower.

Changling OPS> The remaining solids have beamed aboard Manticore.

:: Raised an eyebrow as McFly shouted at Karl ::

KARL> Umm War bird is destoryed

MISSION BRIEF: The Excalibur is working on a water reclamation project on Xenex. The Engineering team has decamped to the shores of a large alpine reservoir that will be largely pumped empty to revitalized the local aquifer. Meanwhile science is working with Xenexian academy students prepare the soil for these efforts. Questions.

9:07 PM

hmm BEGIN SIM

Irene> "I'm impressed with your students." She looks up from the portable computer she's working at. "They know their stuff."

Ens Reynolds> ::Busy setting up further equipment.:: I hope these chemicals we're being exposed to aren't going to cause infertility.

Having returned to the Excalibur from the "diplomatic reception," Asher was in his ready room drinking an herbal bolian tea that reportedly warded off hangovers.

William is setting up the equipment they've brought down for the water reclamation project. "How long have you guys been down here?" He asks Crunik before turning to Reynolds. "I think you need to be more worried about surviving any 'adventures' rather than procreation."

Crunik> Drinking from a big water bottle Up here next to the lake? A couple days. We've been on Xenex for nearly a year working on various related projects.

"Gotcha. Been fun?"

Val> To Clark. "Cap, uh, looks like he had a rough night."

C'n'k'l'v of Selwin> to Irene And your people seem very efficient.

9:14 PM

Clark> You'll have that.

Irene> With a proud smile. "It's my job to make sure they're efficient."

:: Working in the medical facility, trying to determine where these markings and symptoms originated ::

Ens Reynolds> I'm just saying... eventually... if I survive this ship, I'd like a family one day. ::He initialized the transducer and stepped back to make some adjustments on his data padd.::

"Reynolds, you are not allowed to die, and that's an order."

9:21 PM

William makes some adjustments on his padd as well.

Rex> Knocks on the Commander's door

Ens Reynolds> I appreciate that order. I'll do my best to follow it. ::Smirks.::

9:27 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Glances up from his computer.:: Enter.

Rex> Enters holding a PADD looking grim

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Lifts a brow.:: I don't like that look. Who do I have to bail out now? It better not be Mincine.

Crunik> I have ot admit it's nice to have your folks helping out. We keep telling command we need more hands for this project.

9:28 PM

Rex> Frowns I am afraid it's not anything that simple.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::He waves a hand to one of his chairs.::

Rex> I have a few friends in the intelligence community. I asked them to look into that mining station we ran into yeah?

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::He nodded.:: And? They uncovered some things?

(sorry, dozing off. The dozing doctor)

Rex> The equipment itself isn't worth much on the market, as you'd expect. Some really specific use cases, sure. But... he frowned but there are some uses for it beyond selling it.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Other uses for mining equipment other than mining? Does it involve tunneling under buildings to steal things? ::Shakes his head.:: Who do they think took it and why was it taken?

"Like I said Reynolds, no dying." William looks over some of the equipment he'd set up to make sure the PADD and real life were looking the same.

Irene> "Anyway, we're getting close to the end of this round of soil analysis. What's next on the agenda?"

Ens Reynolds> ::He made his last adjustment and then looked to the lake itself.:: I think the power grid is stable, sir.

Rex> This is the part you're not going to like.

"Glad to hear it Reynolds." William turned to Crunik. "Power grid is stable. What's next?"

Crunik> We can begin doing tests on the pumps.

"You got it."

Ens Reynolds> ::Shoulders his kit and locates the pumps.::

9:47 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Waves his hand for Rex to continue.::

William walks with Reynolds over to the pumps. "Having fun?"

Ens Reynolds> Well, no one is trying to kill us, so... yea?

Rex> Intelligence uncovered smugglers moving shipments of unrefined Tetracite-B, not very lucrative on its own, but it does have applications in certain biogenic compounds that are, well, it's a long list of banned stuff that it goes into. Intel believes they were headed for Breen space. Now, you're probably wondering what that has to do with our missing equipment.

Ens Reynolds> I mean, there is a threat to our biology and well being, but that's pretty normal for us.

"Always a good sign. Though I guess that says something where someone trying to kill us is a reasonable concern."

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Nods, frowning.:: Yes... I am.

Rex> Tetracite requires some specific equipment to mine, which our missing equipment could easily be modified to do. Frowns, hands him the PADD They found some containers on the smugglers ship from the mine.

:: Indaura worked in relative silence with the local authorities. Progress was being made, albeit slowly ::

Rex> The smuggler ship originated in the Dakaris system, out near Breen space and on the edge of the Neutral Zone.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> So it was for mining. ::His frown deepened as he read through the report.:: But not legal mining.

Rex> Nods I haven't given this to the Captain yet, but... I imagine he'll want to check it out.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Nods.:: Yes, he will. Schedule a meeting for the three of us to discuss. Once we're done here, depending on our next mission, I imagine he's going to be interested in following up.

Hello

We'll be picking up several hours since the last portal tests. Still making plans for the next steps.

9:02 PM

Questions?

::coordinating shift rotations::

::working in the medical bay, probably::

9:08 PM

;;looks at the chrono::

::heading over to command tent::

:: Carrying his padd to the command center ::

::enters the command center::

"Doctor."

9:12 PM

"Oh, I hope Muuhi is not too much trouble."

::hands med bay to the incoming doctors of the next shift and heads to her quarters::

Hi Nijil, no she isn't

::watching::

"Good. I have more tests to run on her program. Stability and all." :: chuckles :: "Heard she is traveling over the colony network." (edited)

Apparently she did

:: Lays out his padd, looks over the data collected ::

9:17 PM

"I did look into taking her through the portal, but I think she needs to be containerized. She would not reassemble on the other end. There's a quantum uncertainty to overcome."

9:17 PM

"That said, I think people can go through."

::arrives back in her quarters, takes a shower::

::concerned a bit:: ok

"Guess if I think it's safe I should go through first." :: shrug ::

Doubt the captain is gonna go with that.

::exits the shower and changes into a blouse and sandals, decides to head towards the lake for a walk::

::looking over results of the testing again::

::a bit brisk in the dusk hours, but still comfortable enough for what she’s wearing::

9:28 PM

::looks around as the colony begins to take shape::

9:31 PM

::or whatever time it happens to be::

::moving to Nijil's position::

"Captain."

Status?

::reaches the lake and walks along the shore::

"All tests check out thus far. The portal seems stable going in and my engineering team has done a test run on assembling the second portal once on the other side."

Have you come up with a way to self deploy that portal on the other side?

"Not in a short timetable, no. Assembly takes an hour after three trials."

Well come up with a way or simple instructions for someone on the other side to follow. We are preparing supplies to send through as well.

"I will have them perform the reconstruction once more as a holovid."

9:47 PM

"I am sending them instructions now."

::walks along a field near some hills, which kinda reminds her of England back on Earth::

:: Materializes in medical :: "Well, here I am again. Am I on a timer?"

Make it clear in the instructions that the device must be assembled as close to the location it was located as possible.

Nurse> ::startled by Muuhi’s sudden appearance::

Howeve, do we have a way of tracking this if they activate it elsewhere?

::decides to head back to her quarters as it’s getting pretty dark out::

"Sure. Its position will be part of the confirmation message when activated."

"I am sorry for startling you. Popping into existence is new for me."

Nurse>. I guess. Did someone activate you?

"They are recording the assembly now."

::Arrives back in her quarters, and changes into her pyjamas, and lets hair loose::

"No. Maybe Niji is behind this." :: thinks :: "Ah, it's only a few hours."

We will deploy as soon as you're ready.

Nurse> Nijiil activated you? :: confused :: (edited)

"Not manually, but he mentioned looking in to my program."

Nurse> Hmm. OK. Not really much going on in the med bay though. Dacia and the other alpha shift nurses went off duty about an hour ago.
