Capt Rian Kwai

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51307.29 - Season 21 Security has been hunting down the escaped miner that escaped from the stolen shuttle that security had tractor beamed back aboard the Republic, just as it set down on the deck, and he's managed to hide himself in the midst of the other refugees. Using transporter logs and word of mouth from the other refugees, security believes that they have found the offender and are in the process of taking him down and subduing him. If it is...indeed him. Meanwhile, the comet is reeking havoc on the Hovious System and before we lost long range sensors from that system, there was positive evidence of some sort of subspace disturbance. We only hope that the tear is not too big. STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM Capt Rian Kwai -> ::on the bridge:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::on the bridge:: STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: Will has just tackled the possible escapee, and has bound his wrists Christina_Nickles -> Thats Him Sir That’s Him!!

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::repeats the charges against him from last week, including the General Douchebaggery:: Christina_Nickles -> You sir Have no right to talk after placing me low in your mines and then stealing my shuttle.

I would hate for there to be a misunderstanding. August Jax Robinson -> ::Glances up, hearing shouting and scuffles::: Hmm... should I go take a look or ignore it?' STSF_BluRox -> Miner> You have me mistaken for someone else surely...I am just a honest miner trying to make a living Capt Rian Kwai -> +Robinson+ ::only because she has great timing:: Status report, Mr Robinson? Heather Jamieson -> :: Medical is checking her over, but does not feel a great urge to rid her of the hickeys :: LtCmdrRobinson -> +Kwai+ We believe we have just arrested the shuttle thief, we'll be taking him to the brig and we'll confirm his identity there. Capt Rian Kwai -> +Robinson+ Acknowledged. Please keep us updated. STSF_BluRox -> Miner> I'm no thief!! I want to see your captain. I want a lawyer. You better release me LtCmdrRobinson -> ::brings the man to his feet:: If you are not who we are after then you'll be released within the hour. So calm down. STSF_BluRox -> Miner> :: goes to stomp on Will's foot, hoping to get himself loose:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::moves his foot back:: Heather Jamieson -> :: is told they will disappear on their own and she should get a bit of rest.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::monitoring the tears in space:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Exits sickbay :: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::starts to haul him off towards the brig:: Ayumu Kasuga -> The tears are not a significant threat right now, but they will be if this rate of growth persists. Christina_Nickles -> :: walking with Will and the prisoner:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::has the door guards keep the place on lockdown on his way out, just in case:: STSF_BluRox -> ::Looks over at Kasuga:: May not be able to pick up much there, since Science has determined all the local long range sensors in that system are down Capt Rian Kwai -> ::facepalm:: STSF_BluRox -> But keep scanning the local, as you should be able to shortly pick up other readings that will give us an indication of what may be going on Ayumu Kasuga -> Yes, sir. I shall do that Heather Jamieson -> +Knight+ This is Lt. Jamieson, I have been released from sickbay for light duty. August Jax Robinson -> ::Reminds the Engineers to keep systems on lock down until we get our "Guest" out of here Ayumu Kasuga -> ::keeps scanning:: Tory Knight -> +Jamieson+ Excellent. With engineering on lockdown, we're on our own to resolve a situation with the long range sensors. Christina_Nickles -> :: remains quiet while transporting the prisoner:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Walking along... :: +Knight+ I only know a little about this. Are you in science or the bridge? Tory Knight -> +Jamieson+ I'm in main sciences. You're welcome to join the party at any time. Heather Jamieson -> :: standing at the lift. A crew member passes by and laughs quietly :: :: Enters the lift :: Science deck.. LtCmdrRobinson -> ::leads him into the cell and locks it up:: Ok, you are absolutely sure this is the guy? STSF_BluRox -> Rian, what's the situation with Will and his team and that escaped prisoner? Christina_Nickles -> Yes Sir Heather Jamieson -> :: turbolift moments later Heather arrives at the science lab. Moments scattered with laughter :: Heather Jamieson -> :: Enters science :: LtCmdrRobinson -> Well confirm it with the sensor reading from the shuttle. Tory Knight -> ::one console beside her is continually running computations and permutations of the subspace tears as they were before the sensors died:: STSF_BluRox -> Miner> I've never seen her before in my life... Christina_Nickles -> :: looks to the miner then decides against speaking to him:: Yes Sir ::to Will Capt Rian Kwai -> I just checked in with him. They think they've caught the guy. They're on the way to the brig to verify his identity. I've asked Robinson to check in with me once he's done. Heather Jamieson -> :: Arrives next to Knight and takes an adjacent console :: So, subspace tears hindering long range sensors? What range do we have? Tory Knight -> ::the other console is troubleshooting the LRS system, running the pathways to determine the issue:: STSF_BluRox -> Good, we don't need to deal with that problem when we're already dealing with this comet issue Heather Jamieson -> :: A series of hickeys are all over Heather, presumably all over :: Christina_Nickles -> :: goes over to a console and brings up the shuttle security tape:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Studying the sensor readings from a time before the loss to now, playing then back and forth on all subspace bands :: Tory Knight -> We have no range. Those models are based on the tears prior to the sensors being blown. ::frowning at the screen as the program continues to trace the connections:: Christina_Nickles -> Sir I have the tape queued. Do you wish to view it now? Tory Knight -> My best guess is that the blast radius took out sensors. I've seen nothing that indicates any sort of subspace interference. Yet. Heather Jamieson -> :: Cocks her head at the console readings. :: And with an engineering lockdown repairs, if possible, will be sometime off. August Jax Robinson -> ::hopes Will is hasn't hurt any.. to much:: Tory Knight -> Unless, of course, we step in. Capt Rian Kwai -> Shall I tell Will you want to use him as target practice? STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: CHRISTINA'S TAPE STARTS SHOWING A BUNCH OF FERENGI WITH SOME Rihannsu women... :: wait, scratch that....wrong tape::: STSF_BluRox -> LOL...JK...JK Ayumu Kasuga -> ROFL Heather Jamieson -> The sensor array can usually take a lot of punishment, novas.. :: feels a disturbance :::: or like dancing :: LtCmdrRobinson -> Video? How about we just compare a scan of him with the transporter log when he beamed out? Because Video isn’t going to cut it. August Jax Robinson -> {{I am happy is wasn't a Robinson and Robinson Home Movie }} Heather Jamieson -> (Thought it was Orion) Ayumu Kasuga -> ::the interference from the supernova is making scanning quite difficult, tries to increase power and sensor harmonics:: Christina_Nickles -> Aye Sir STSF_BluRox -> If it were up to me, I'd let Holly have him, and let her space him....however, he will need to go stand trial Christina_Nickles -> ((LOL)) Ayumu Kasuga -> (in any event, they were green.. and so were the ladies) LtCmdrRobinson -> ((I put those on Betamax so no one else will be able to play them)) Ayumu Kasuga -> (and I burned them to HD-DVD) Tory Knight -> Yes, but only at safe viewing distance. We were a touch too close to the action. LtCmdrRobinson -> If that doesn’t work we'll start the waterboarding. Heather Jamieson -> Are we doing a remote sensor look with a shuttle or other craft? Christina_Nickles -> :: smiles and giggles slightly:: Aye sir Tory Knight -> ::pauses, looking at Heather for the first time since she arrived, brow arched:: Do you really suppose that the captain would authorize a remote sensor launch among that debris field? Heather Jamieson -> :: has a thought :: How about communications? They transmit and receive in the subspace bands as well. Are they affected? STSF_BluRox -> (note, we already determined in sim 2 weeks ago, that the comet hitting the some of the dilitium reserves ignited some of the area, we had lost all the long range sensor buoys, and that we were picking up some distortions indicative of some Subspace issues, so...just as a recap.. there you have it) Heather Jamieson -> :: Thinks :: Could be remotely controlled or plotted. Tory Knight -> ::stands, bows, gesturing to the console:: Then, by all means, please proceed. Christina_Nickles -> :: pulls up the scan from the shuttle transporter:: Tory Knight -> ::turns on her heel and heads for her office:: Capt Rian Kwai -> (q) I just hope Will doesn't blow them up before hand.

Christina_Nickles -> :: places the two scan next to each other on the console screen:: Mr Robinson the scans are up Heather Jamieson -> :: thought it was odd she left. Must be her hickeys all over. Frowns inside :: Ayumu Kasuga -> +Jax+ The ship's shields have spared the shuttles from any damage from the explosion. I'm not detecting any damage in relation to the explosion. Though the shuttle Heather crash landed into the bay may need some attention. August Jax Robinson -> +Kasuga+ CRASH!? Ayumu Kasuga -> +Jax+ Talk to Heather about it. August Jax Robinson -> +Kasuga+ Why was there are crash?! unless she needs to re-do ALL of her shuttle flight training again!! LtCmdrRobinson -> ::assumes since there are no negative dice rolls that the guy in the cell is in fact the person they were looking for:: August Jax Robinson -> +Kasuga+ ::Stomps down the hall:: I hope she is in traction Heather Jamieson -> :: Checking the catalog of all shuttles and their sensor capability :: August Jax Robinson -> ::::Looks for Heather's location:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::doesn't envy Heather at this time:: Christina_Nickles -> It is a match sir. I knew that was the guy:: Heather Jamieson -> :: They have various distances, various ability to link with the ship...could use two in sync.. nah :: August Jax Robinson -> ::turns off console, heads down the hall at a good pace - evil doom music might be heard in the rafters:: Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>Shuttle is all battered and bruised, looking so sorry for itself. August Jax Robinson -> :::Turns down the hall and enters the Science Lab:: Jamieson!! Heather Jamieson -> :: Does not even look up :: Yes Commander? August Jax Robinson -> Please explain to me what happen to my shuttle? Heather Jamieson -> After release by Kasuga the landing came in hot, hit the deck plating and almost, and I said almost into the wall. I will repair it all myself. LtCmdrRobinson -> +Kwai+ I've just confirmed we've got our shuttle thief in custody. Charges pending your approval. Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Moral of the story - don't say your shuttle needs to make an emergency landing when you don't need to....::glances at the two shuttle occupants: :)) August Jax Robinson -> You will fix it yourself?! when did you get your Engineering clearance? Capt Rian Kwai -> +Robinson+ I saw the charges. You've got some interesting language in here. Is there really a legal definition for some of this? August Jax Robinson -> I don't understand why your shuttle was moving at that speed... what were you thinking? LtCmdrRobinson -> +Kwai+ The last charge is possible just opinion. Heather Jamieson -> It was a release at a high velocity from Kasuga's warp capable shuttle. The reaction control thrusters weren't as able to slow the shuttle down as I thought. Heather Jamieson -> I was also thinking we had little time. Only 60 seconds at full stop. Capt Rian Kwai -> +Robinson+ An interesting opinion. I Heather Jamieson -> We were the last shuttle in. August Jax Robinson -> ::Sighs:: there are protocols when entering a shuttle bay... everyone of them you broke! You could have killed people Capt Rian Kwai -> +Robinson+ I'll let the charges stand. We'll let the JAG corps decide if they charges need to be up'd or diminished. Nice work. Is he your only guest in the brig right now? August Jax Robinson -> and then I have to find out second hand? you couldn't have come to me a reported the accident yourself? Heather Jamieson -> It was an accident. LtCmdrRobinson -> +Kwai+ So far, not much trouble with our guests yet. August Jax Robinson -> and? Heather Jamieson -> You hate me Commander. August Jax Robinson -> ::Makes a face:: Capt Rian Kwai -> +Robinson+ You're not anticipating any backlash then from this arrest? Heather Jamieson -> :: Changes her console screen to the shuttle now damaged in the bay :: I am composing the damage to the shuttle and the spot on the deck plate now. STSF_BluRox -> Computer finalizes running tests on the oiand Iep tasome sort of response Heather Jamieson -> Someone down there was kind enough to do a once-over on the shuttle Harpy. Christina_Nickles -> :: smiles slightly glad they captured the person whom placed her in danger:: August Jax Robinson -> ::exhales:: This is your repair then, No leave until I clear it LtCmdrRobinson -> +Kwai+ We have as much security down there as we can spare to watch the crowds Heather Jamieson -> I will do anything you need to fix this situation. STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM STSF_BluRox -> Pause sim Heather Jamieson -> :: paused :: Christina_Nickles -> ::paused:: Heather Jamieson -> That was fun Jax. :) STSF_BluRox -> 9ok, so I can't tie late today either Capt Rian Kwai -> ::cleans Blu's glasses:: Try again August Jax Robinson -> :) August Jax Robinson -> ::Bites Will:: STSF_BluRox -> Ok, so we have the guy, we need Will to waterboard him...and we're getting mixed indications that there may be some subspace issues to be dealt with soon STSF_BluRox -> any questions?

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51307.01 - Season 21 The USS Republic has been tasked, along with any other ship in the area to help with the evacuation of the Hovius Asteroid Belt. Currently one of the Federations largest mining operations involving Dilitium and other valuable ores needed to further spaceflight and exploration. The monstrous comet had drawn near enough that gravitational waves are beginning to affect ships in the region and the Admiral has called for a cessation of rescue and salvage efforts and has ordered the fleet to get underway and get everyone they were able to pull out, to a safer location. However, the size of this comet hitting that much dilithium could rupture subspace in this region for an unknown amount of time if things go badly.

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51306.03 – Season 21 A monstrously huge comet is on a heading to hit one of our prime dilithium mining and processing settlements. With the amount of ore that the Federation is storing there, it could rip subspace bad enough to disrupt space travel through this and nearby sectors for decades. The Republic has been ordered to head to the Hovius Asteroid Belt, and though it is too dense to take the ship in to many of the locations, we will be sending shuttles and what small ships we have to undertake a multipart mission. Some will be rescuing settlers and miners, while others in larger ships will be trying to salvage some of the more important platforms and storage barges.

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51305.13 – Season 21 The Republic’s away team has finally been able to return to the ship after being rescued from the damaged tour vessel, deep beneath the surface of Risa on what was supposed to have been a pleasure trip. Something just does not sit right with this, as the entire bow of the vessel, along with pilots had gone missing. The Admiral told the Risan’s that she expected a report on her desk within the hour detailing the facts and why this happened and endangered her crew and those missing. It is definitely something we cannot leave to endanger others.

So invisible cave spiders it is. Christina_Nickles -> :: closes eye not wanting to see these creatures:: Capt Rian Kwai -> I've been talking with them.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: They’ve been saved! But saved from what??? Trapped together in a specialized vehicle in what seems to be the middle of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders, the crew claimed to have heard some sort of knocking on the vehicle’s hull. In addition, the cockpit of the vehicle went missing further stranding the crew.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: They’ve been saved! But saved from what??? Trapped together in a specialized vehicle in what seems to be the middle of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders, the crew claimed to have heard some sort of knocking on the vehicle’s hull. In addition, the cockpit of the vehicle went missing further stranding the crew. Rescued by Engineer Stevens and his shuttle, the crew is headed back to where they started this 3 hour tour with more questions than answers for their Risian hosts.

Mission Briefing: Trapped together in a specialized vehicle in what seems to be the middle of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders, the crew claims to have heard some sort of knocking on the vehicle’s hull. The cockpit of the vehicle has gone missing. And now time is ticking away as the Republic crew wait for the Robinsons' to return to the safety of the vehicle interior with mechanics needed to contact help.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: Trapped together in a specialized vehicle in what seems to be the middle of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders, the crew claims to have heard some sort of knocking on the vehicle’s hull. While Under-Secretary Gravois explained that this is due to the atmospheric conditions, LtCmdr Robinson will be working with the vehicles sensors to verify that there is indeed no lifesigns outside the vehicle in need of immediate rescue. Meanwhile, left to their own devices, what will the crew of the Republic do while they wait for the vehicle to begin moving forward. Parcheesi anyone?

Gremlins STSF_BluRox -> Mr Bardolph, I think we've had just enough of this. Please inform Mr Gravois we've decided that we'd like to return to our ship and if they would please take us back now.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods:: Christina_Nickles -> : waits for Will to give the order:: Heather Jamieson -> :: sits with Ayumu :: Ayumu Kasuga -> Hm. At least I got lots of pictures of the rock formations. STSF_BluRox -> Everyone else back away from the rear hatch LtCmdrRobinson -> Everyone else back away from the door.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: While on a VIP tour of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders, in a special vehicle has been employed to allow the crew to enjoy the spectacular view while staying safe from the extreme heat within the cave, the vehicle has stopped suddenly.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: The crew of the Republic has received special invitation from Cultural Ambassador Imen: A VIP tour of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders. A special vehicle has been employed to allow the crew to enjoy the spectacular view while staying safe from the extreme heat within the cave. Secretary Gravois has been filling the crew in on some of the unusual features of the caverns while crewman Smith spills drinks over unsuspecting guests (and crew). Capt Rian Kwai -> Any questions? Capt Rian Kwai -> Okay, so the silence I take as a "no".

Jameson Bardolph -> ::trying to tune out the discussion and listen to the shuttle:: Dr Tisa Sen -> A little too much perhaps STSF_BluRox -> Just need to get a bit of rest. I was quickly recalled to a Fleet meeting on Starbase 279 for a few days and I think I had been back on the ship about an hour before I was informed of this little trip. It was not a pleasant meeting....however, I will deal with it Dr Tisa Sen -> Anything we should know about? Ayumu Kasuga -> ::continues taking photos and listening to Blu:: Christina_Nickles -> ::looking back up towards the door waiting for him to return:: August Jax Robinson -> Oh Nickles stop being Paranoid.. no one care we are here STSF_BluRox -> Not here.....it's nothing that concerns the crew.

Mission Briefing: While on a VIP tour of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders, in a special vehicle has been employed to allow the crew to enjoy the spectacular view while staying safe from the extreme heat within the cave, the vehicle has stopped suddenly. Does this mean there’s a photo opportunity ahead? Or does this mean that Jones has finally managed to break the ship? Or is this some elaborate April Fools Joke on the Republic Crew?
