USS Republic Sim Log

[STSF_KBear 0]

STSF_BluRox -> good enough.. begin sim

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::sitting in his quarters, hoping this mission goes better than the last::

Joy -> :: at the science station, supervising the various orbital probes, and compiling the information gathered into fairly coherent maps ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::on the bridge, looking over the recent scans of the planet::

STSF_BluRox -> ::a bit under the weather, and decides to thake the day off to curl up with a blanket and a good holonovel::

August Jax Robinson -> <<Funny, that is what my cat did today, don't chew on the corners like mine did :P >>

STSF_BluRox -> +kawalas+ can you stop by my quarters when you get a chance?

Joy -> :: Starts an economic model, trying to estimate how goods and wealth flows from what she can read of the transportation systems ::

STSF_BluRox -> <<swat Jax::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Rolls over:: Will.. this is never going to end

STSF_KBear -> +Blu+ Aye Sir on my way.

STSF_BluRox -> <wait...ACTION: BABY KICKS aUGUST HARD IN THE BLADDER::

Joy -> << Your cat likes holonovels? >>

August Jax Robinson -> ::Doh::

Joy -> :: Still thinks the android reproductive sysetm is vastly superior to the organic approach ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> It's almost over, couple more weeks at most

Capt Rian Kwai -> Looks like the planet has relatively nice weather patterns.

STSF_KBear -> ::turns from making her way to the bridge and heads for the Admirals quarters::

Joy -> Agreed. Mind you, the axis of spin at the moment gives both hemespheres equal sunlight. The pattern is likely to be different in a winter / summer configuration.

LtCmdrRobinson -> What the heck are THESE? ::holds up some knit booties with toast on them::

Capt Rian Kwai -> So you think this is a..um...what would they call it. Spring/fall type of cycle?

STSF_KBear -> ::exits the TL and walks down the corridors towards Blus quarters::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Sits up:: Booties, from Holly

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::makes a face:: how...generous of her

August Jax Robinson -> I knew you would like them.. help me up ::Lifts hand::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Maybe she can be the godmother

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::helps her::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Evil eyes him::

LtCmdrRobinson -> What is that look for?

August Jax Robinson -> this is your fault

Joy -> As far as I can tell, the right move is to invoke the Prime Directive adn keep our distance.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Yes yes, everything in the universe is my fault.

STSF_KBear -> ::gets to Blus door, takes a deep breath and rings her chimes::

STSF_BluRox -> Enter

August Jax Robinson -> ::walks to the head:: I am glad we agree

LtCmdrRobinson -> I knew you would...

STSF_KBear -> ::steps into Blus Quarters:: Evening Admiral

Joy -> Back in the Federation I'd announce to the universe stay away, but out here I don't know that folks would honor the request.

Capt Rian Kwai -> I'm not inclined to rock the boat. Maybe I've become more conservative in my career.

STSF_BluRox -> Hello Kania

Joy -> Either that, or we are all getting tired of capsized boats?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Tinkles then takes a shower::

STSF_BluRox -> I have a favor to ask. I'm not feeling well since our trip to stakoron..I'd like to take the next shift or 2

STSF_KBear -> ::steps into the room allowing the door to close::

Joy -> I'd estimate warp travel would be centuries in the future, unless someone drops in to help.

Capt Rian Kwai -> What are the chances that would happen here?

STSF_BluRox -> and get a bit of rest. Would you arrange for the bridge to be covered

STSF_BluRox -> during my scheduled times please?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::lays down on the couch and listens to some music::

STSF_KBear -> Yes Sir, Not a problem. Shall I get someone from medical to come have a look at you?

August Jax Robinson -> ::gets dressed:: did you put the crib together yet?

LtCmdrRobinson -> I'll do it in a little bit

Joy -> Hmm... There are enough Dominion planets in the neighborhood that they could be spotted quite easily. We found them without trouble, after all.

Joy -> Do they have hands off policies? Or is the planet just not worth exploiting yet?

August Jax Robinson -> YOu aren't doing anything now..

STSF_BluRox -> no, i will be alright. just lack of sleep, and a bit of an upset stomach from eating on the planet. i detected a toyuch of alcohol in the sglaze used to garnish the meal...and as you know, i have a bit of a sensitivity to it.

Capt Rian Kwai -> No hands off policy that I know of. Maybe they just don't have the right goods to be exploited. Anything worth...well...anything to the Dominion here?

Joy -> :: Puts the probe data into a geography and mining package to see if there are any ore concentrations or similar resources that might be worth exploiting. ::

STSF_BluRox -> <sorry so slow>

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::rolls off the couch:: Yes your majesty.

Joy -> Checking...

Joy -> Nothing obvious...

STSF_KBear -> Aye Sir. very well. You get some rest and get to feeling better. Rian and I will make sure that the bridge shifts are covered.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::walks over to the mess of parts::

STSF_KBear -> If you need anything dont hesitate to call.

August Jax Robinson -> Do you need help?

Joy -> Hmm.... The look to have the usual sorts of metal deposits, but nothing so obviously rich that you couldn't get it easier in an asteroid belt and not have to fight the gravity well.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Grabs the directions, looks over the PADD::

LtCmdrRobinson -> it cant be that hard.

STSF_KBear -> ::turns towards the door::

Joy -> Ah, I may have a reason. The plant life equivalent isn't clorophyl based.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Oh?

STSF_BluRox -> have you startwed to check that new system out yetr?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::starts working on it::

Joy -> If they don't have the same organic chemistry as most races, we won't be able to eat their food, or us theirs.

Joy -> Not the best of all planets to exploit.

STSF_KBear -> I beleive we are in the area now. Last time I was on the bridge they were doing loght passive scans of the area to see what they could find.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Watches him, eats some ice cream::

Capt Rian Kwai -> So until their civiliazation matures into the spacefaring variety, they should be realitvely safe. How long before we finish the scans?

STSF_KBear -> I will inform you of the results when I get a report from Rian.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::chucks a few parts across the room:: Dont need thsoe.

LtCmdrRobinson -> *those

Joy -> I'll have a decent Beta level data map set in a few hours. For a Prime Directive isolated world, we might not need anything more.

August Jax Robinson -> Yes we do

STSF_KBear -> ::steps up to the door and pauses as it opens:: Get better Sir.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Jax, the kid is going to sleep in this thing, not fly it around the room. We dont need a fancy one.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::nods:: Okay, that sounds like a good plan. I'll start working on our next target in the meantime.

STSF_KBear -> ::exits the door::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Sighs::

STSF_BluRox -> grr

STSF_KBear -> <Repeat>I beleive we are in the area now. Last time I was on the bridge they were doing loght passive scans of the area to see what they could find.

Joy -> Good enough. I'll start organizing things into the usual reports and data bases.

STSF_KBear -> <repeat>I will inform you of the results when I get a report from Rian.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::puts it together, minus the extras:: See.

August Jax Robinson -> Will it work?

STSF_KBear -> ::steps up to the door and pauses as it opens:: Get better Sir.

STSF_BluRox -> action - a small cargo ship begins to lift from the surface and out of the planets atmopsher...

STSF_BluRox -> thankyou kania

LtCmdrRobinson -> Work? He's just going to lay in it. What else was it supposed to do?

Joy -> Ut oh.... I have a contact.

STSF_KBear -> ::exits the door::

LtCmdrRobinson -> It'll stay together, if that is what you mean.

STSF_KBear -> Welcome Sir

August Jax Robinson -> there will be a time when he stands in it

LtCmdrRobinson -> I do know a thing or two about a thing or two

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::raises a brow, turning in her seat:: What do you mean, a contact?

August Jax Robinson -> ::holds up part:: Hello, extra parts!

Joy -> :: Marks the lifting ship on the display. Tries to zoom in optical scanners for an image of it. ::

STSF_KBear -> ::heads for the bridge to find out what has been found since her last visit::

Joy -> Small ship lifting up and clear of the atmosphere.

STSF_BluRox -> action - ship pauses once it has broken from the planet and facing the republic. it turns and sets course towards stakoron

LtCmdrRobinson -> It's safe, he can sleep, stand, dance, build bombs. It'll hold.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Can you ID it?

Joy -> :: Checks the surface map to see if it lifted from an empty or well populated area, and day or night ::

August Jax Robinson -> if it doesn't I am going to tell him he only has one eye because of you

Joy -> I think she has spotted us. She's going outbound.

STSF_KBear -> ::enters the TL::

STSF_KBear -> Bridge!

Joy -> Course is.... Stakoron.

LtCmdrRobinson -> That's just electronic junk. He doesnt need that stuff. How is he supposed to sleep with all that extra crap in there?

August Jax Robinson -> it's to help him sleep

Joy -> :: Tries to identify the origin of the ship ::

August Jax Robinson -> this spins around and plays music..I guess it hypnotizes the baby or something

Capt Rian Kwai -> That's odd. Can we get a scan of the area it just came from. What's down there?

LtCmdrRobinson -> I'm not putting no mind control devices in his crib.

Joy -> Working the scan.

STSF_KBear -> ::exits the TL::

Capt Rian Kwai -> +Kawalas+ Captain, I hate to intrupt. But we've just had a strange encounter up here that I think you should be aware of.

August Jax Robinson -> It says on the box it helps the baby sleep

STSF_KBear -> Right behind you Rian ::watches her reaction as she didnt hear the doors open::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::blinks::

Joy -> Hmm.... Another factor. Many of the plants in the area of the lift off carry echoes of a primary ingredient of white.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Well if he has problems sleeping, we'll fix it then. Until that happens, NO mind control devices

Joy -> So much for the pure isolated planet theory.

August Jax Robinson -> does that mean no Wiggles?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Wiggles?

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::turning in her chair:: We've just spotted, and possibly been spotted ourselves, by a small cargo ship coming up from the planet. This from a non-warp technology based civilization.

August Jax Robinson -> 4 silly guys in a car singing

STSF_KBear -> White ? Joy? as in Jem Hadar?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::blinks again::

Joy -> Affirmative, as in Jem Hadar. Looks like the area the ship lifted from is a plantation area for growing the stuff.

August Jax Robinson -> you need to read

LtCmdrRobinson -> We'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

STSF_KBear -> Ohh boy ::sounds worried::

Joy -> Warehose complex surrounding a small spaceport. Plantations. A small town nearby.

STSF_KBear -> We need to report this to the Admiral.

August Jax Robinson -> I don't think we should give him fire just yet

August Jax Robinson -> not for a few years

Joy -> Not near any large cities or manufacturing centers. It may be they are using that small area only, and not heavily influencing the rest of the planet.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::shrugs::

Joy -> I can also scan the north pole, and see if Santa Claus lives on this planet.

August Jax Robinson -> unless he can figure it out on his own.. then I am not holding him back

STSF_BluRox -> ::finally dozes off::

STSF_KBear -> ::looks to Joy::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Who is San Tah Claws? ::glancing at Joy::

Joy -> An old legend. A myth. An energy being that likely never existed save in imaginations.

STSF_KBear -> On second thought we might want to hold on informing the admiral. She wasnt feeling well and was going to rest.

August Jax Robinson -> <<Hey!>>

LtCmdrRobinson -> Lets face it, with my proclivity from chaos and destruction, and your engineering skills, he'll figure out alot of things on his own.

August Jax Robinson -> Ball O' String> ::Rolls threw Blu's dream::

STSF_KBear -> Joy Are all of the ingredients for white on this planet?

STSF_BluRox -> <you're funny>

Joy -> :: Sorts through her information to see what ingredients she can detect ::

August Jax Robinson -> We need to test the crib

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::pushes down on it:: It's fine.

August Jax Robinson -> I hope

Capt Rian Kwai -> Could be just a processing of one or two ingredients.

Joy -> I can't detect all of the necessary prime materials, but several of the higher bulk items are being grown in the area of the lift off.

Joy -> The buildings in the area look like storage buildings, rather primitive, rather than chemical plants.

STSF_KBear -> Rian, why would they come this far for it. and where would they process it?

STSF_BluRox -> action: cargo ship still moving off, nearing range of long range sensors

Joy -> This might not be a full production facility.

Joy -> Ship is leaving sensor range, course not changed.

STSF_KBear -> <<Blu PM please>>

Joy -> :: Decides that she isn't going to be the one to suggest starting the war. ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> It's not all the out of the way for the Gamma Quadrant. We're the ones out rather out in the middle of no where

STSF_KBear -> Something doesnt feel right.

Joy -> OK. Someone is stockpiling quite a lot of White. Someone is building quite a few warships.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Need me to call in Jax to look at your chair. Or Doctor Weber for a medical problem?

STSF_KBear -> Not that way Rian, I have an unease feeling about this situation.

Joy -> I would suggest that long term stability in this area isn't overly high.

August Jax Robinson -> ::sighs::

STSF_KBear -> Think about it, Who have we been meeting up the entire time we have been in this quadrant.

STSF_KBear -> Or shall I say whoes been chasing us.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::plops back down on the couch::

Joy -> Dominion remnants. Our prior contact was the Jem Hadar creche.

August Jax Robinson -> we have so much to do ::Frowns::

STSF_KBear -> <<test>>

Joy -> This might be important enough news to turn around and get the information back to Camelot.

STSF_KBear -> Camelot?

LtCmdrRobinson -> How much more do we have to do?

Joy -> A Deep Space station, one of the Federation's more important bases near the wormhole exit.

August Jax Robinson -> <<Shore leave at the station!>>

August Jax Robinson -> We have to set up the crib with the bedding, get the room ready, basinet.. and something else I can't rememeber

STSF_KBear -> If we turn back at every small thing We will never get our mission complete.

LtCmdrRobinson -> I guess I should put that stash of photon grenades back in the armory...dont want the kid getting into those just yet

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at him and Sighs::

Joy -> I expect it is the Admiral's call. I think someone is prepping up for a war, but I don't know that it is ready to roll immediately.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Why that assumption?

Joy -> The mining is still going all out at our last stop. Fleet is still a building. The JH at the creshe were still suspended, and the station was not in full production.

STSF_KBear -> ::Listens to Joys answer to Rian::

August Jax Robinson -> I think they should have never been taken from there

Joy -> So... not right away.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Well its not a good idea to store everything in one place.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Kinda makes it hard to get to them if someone takes over that part of the ship.

STSF_KBear -> ::looks to Rian:: Joy has a point.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::pats her on the head:: Its ok, you dont know these things.

August Jax Robinson -> I don't think keeping them here is good either

Joy -> But that would mean not in the next few months, but it could still be within a few years. And the data is mighty thin.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Why not?

August Jax Robinson -> because, they are not a home thing

August Jax Robinson -> they are a work thing

Capt Rian Kwai -> Thin, yeah. We still need more information before we can jump to any conclusions. That's one possibilty. There might be another reason.

August Jax Robinson -> you don't see me bringing Consoles or engines home do you?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Trust me, Im right, you're wrong

Joy -> Is there another use for ships with extra rugged hulls, and Jem Haddar?

August Jax Robinson -> No

STSF_KBear -> I wish there was. but with Jem Hadar involved I doubt it

STSF_KBear -> <<Get your last thoughts in>>

August Jax Robinson -> dope

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::thinks Jax looks hot pregnant::

STSF_BluRox -> grr'

Joy -> The next step would be to consider the distance across which we've gathered the data.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Shakes head::

Joy -> If all the worlds in that area are doing war prep, how big is the preparation effort?

Joy -> And how far will we have to travel before we stop encountering mobilization.

STSF_BluRox -> and... pause sim
