STSF_BluRox: hey all

LtCmdrRobinson: dont know what it was, all I know Really Loud Noise = No Power

STSF_BluRox: ::looks with disdain at the alarm clock ::

LtCmdrRobinson: and i finally had an excuse to use all of those damn Lightsticks and that 12milion candlepower flashlight

STSF_KBear: LOL I was just wondering if I should call yo

STSF_KBear: you

STSF_Seiben: That sucks

STSF_Seiben: .

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: I'll have to remember that...Really Loud Noise = No Power. I'll add that to Really High Wind = No Power.

LtCdrJAX: >>BAK<<

STSF_Seiben: Big Flash of Light Outside = No power too.

STSF_KBear: ::nods:: Have heard of BOTH of those

STSF_Seiben: Thought I'd like to add that one in

STSF_BluRox: Ok...we'll start in just a moment, don't get hurt, as I know the doctor....well, she's travelling with family, and won't be back for a bit..so is LOA

Joy: I have another one. Really bright flash, tiny little pop, really loud thunder = no modem.

STSF_KBear: that one really hurt Joys

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: Really Hot Day + Everyone Ups the Air-conditioning Usage = No Power

LtCmdrRobinson: ok im sorry I used the equal sign, now lets stop the equations! :unsure:

Sarvek: (( I misread that as "Really Holly Day" -- have I been watching Rep too long? ))

STSF_Seiben: Ohio Power Plant + Summer = No power for everyone in tHE North East. ;)

STSF_Seiben: Maybe...

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: LOL

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: What? You didn't know this was word problem day?

STSF_BluRox: Mission Briefing: Having found several clues at Darvon's former colony location, the crew must now try to follow some of these leads if they wish to follow up on what happned to those that were taken years ago,

STSF_Seiben: .

STSF_BluRox: or give up and return to to the Cardassian Homeword and report they found nothing

STSF_BluRox: BEGIN SIM

STSF_Seiben: ::on the bridge, looks at his console::

STSF_KBear: ::in quarters a few hours later playing games with her child::

STSF_KBear: ::thinks to Self,'Im going to have to let Blurox settle down before I tell her of this last dream'::

STSF_BluRox: <That will be the day>

LtCdrJAX: ::Listening to people gossip about what is going on the the musical chair XO's::

STSF_KBear: <<LOL One can HOPE??>>

Joy: : On the bridge, sorta near Seiben, wondering about Blu's suggestion that she coordinate with science... ::

STSF_Seiben: ::doing some useful things::

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: ::scratches at spots on her neck as she contemplates how the heck she's going to help resolve the conflict between the Admiral and Kawalas::

Sarvek: ((BluRox, your character is a Caitian, right?))

STSF_BluRox: <plays the pop goes the weasel music>

STSF_BluRox: <yes, Caitian, not Kzin, which many people mistakenly play their characaters as>

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: <m>What's the use, it's gonna take a mircle.

Sarvek: ((So the pacifist kitties, who don't like having to use their claws?))

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: ((What's a Kzin? ::raises a brow:: Slang for Kitten?))

Joy: (( Do we have a spare mircle? ))

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: ((I don't know, I haven't been able to visit Mircle Max lately.))

STSF_Seiben: <<I have Miricle Whp. Does that count? :) >>\

STSF_Seiben: Whip*

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: ((No, and neither does Mircle Grow))

LtCdrJAX: OK people back to work,.. no more gossip

LtCdrJAX: ::heads to the lift::

STSF_BluRox: <no, see early FASA Star Trek Role Playing game...or the Man Kzin Wars book series....dont' you young people read!? >

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: ((Um....))

STSF_BluRox: <here, easier for you..see wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kzin

STSF_Seiben: <Errr...>

LtCmdrRobinson: ((I cant read.... :P ))

STSF_KBear: ::trys to think of who she can contact thats not on the bridge to that can update her on whats going on::

LtCmdrRobinson: ::on the bridge, wondering whats going on with the mission::

Sarvek: (( Ah right, I thought so -- Caitians = pacifists; Kzin = warlike. ))

LtCdrJAX: ::exits lift and walks into Security::: Wilma, i'm home

STSF_BluRox: <for the most part yea>

LtCdrJAX: ::Looks around:: nice

STSF_Seiben: ::Working with whoever to progres the mission plot doing what delegated tasks were given to him to do to progress the mission along and help to being contributor to the crew and a key integral part to the crew and feel valued and contribute to the ship and its mission and stuff and to be seen and and heard and stuff::

Joy: :: Looks at Seiben :: You look lost too.

STSF_KBear: <LOL>>

LtCmdrRobinson: Bob> He's up on the bridge, stop snooping around his office.

STSF_Seiben: Eh.. what makes yo think that?

LtCdrJAX: Shut up Bob

STSF_KBear: +Jax+ Kawalas to Jax

LtCdrJAX: +Kawalas+ Jax here, how can I help you Sir

Joy: I'm feeling sort of lost in a where do we go next sort of way. You know. Limited data. Infinite possibilities. You look like you are working the same problem.

STSF_KBear: +Jax+ Jax can you tell me what the next plan of action is? since I amnot on the bridge Id like to stay informed.

Sarvek: (( ::waves to Huff and offers a seat in the Donut Gallery:: ))

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: ::glancing up, had overheard Joy and Hans, although she doesn't jump into the conversation, she's listened::

STSF_KBear: <<hi Huff>>

LtCdrJAX: +Kawalas+ I am not completely sure, I haven't been up there. but from what I have heard, there hasn't been any survivors found

Joy: I'm beginning to think just keep it simple. We have a base course they left on, plus or minus a few degrees...

LtCdrJAX: ::Exits Sec and heads back to the lift::

STSF_KBear: +Jax+ That much I am aware of. Please keep me informed if you hear of anything.

Joy: We might want to follow the course out, and visit any systems within a few degrees of the course?

Captain_Huff: <<whew, blu's here ... I d on't have to ruin another sim>>

STSF_Seiben: Indeed, indeed. It's quite complex this, trying to decipher what what happened to the colonial population over a decade ago, but it is hard to acheive this, given that it was so long ago and that we don't really have too much to go on. I think it is hard tryinhg to piece together what had happenened, but I am quietly confident that we will prevail in piecing together this little puzzle we have. And that we do, I have downloaded the PADD you gave me into my console and have the general course of the vessel that left over 10 years ago. That is also what I am doing now....

LtCdrJAX: +Kawalas+ Aye

STSF_Seiben: < :P >

Joy: :: nods ::

LtCdrJAX: ::Steps on to the lift:: Bridge

Joy: << :D :) >>

STSF_Seiben: <I shouldn't bought that XL cup of coffee from Tim Horton's>

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: ((::flattened by the macro::))

STSF_Seiben: <<was not a macro...>

Sarvek: (( Do hosts not have that size cutoff? ))

STSF_Seiben: <<nope>>

Captain_Huff: <<if only>>

Joy: :: Settles down at a a free station near Seiben, and starts calling up systems along the projected course ::

STSF_Seiben: So.. according to the PADD. They travelled deep into Cardassian space..

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: What kind of time are we talking about here to search? How many systems are there?

Joy: :: Starts a review to see if there are any obvious systems that might be obvious places to put a labor camp, or implausible. ::

STSF_Seiben: In the course they took, 8.

STSF_KBear: <<::needs that XL Cup now:>>

LtCmdrRobinson: ::Looking over Joy's shoulder, not being of any help at all::

Joy: Deep into Cardassian space, or plausibly out beyond it.

LtCdrJAX: ::steps onto the bridge::

Captain_Huff: <<dog barked at the DD drive through speaker today...lol>>

Joy: Any settled planets... if they are still alive... they would have been found or... worse.

STSF_Seiben: ::Sees Jax::

Joy: It might actually be more optomistic to search where they might not have been found on the way out...

STSF_Seiben: Agreed. That seems like a most logical recourse, I must say

STSF_KBear: ::takes a chance:: +Kawalas to Kwai

Joy: then pick up the occupied planets on the way back? Unless some of the unoccupied planets have not been visited?

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: +Kawalas+ Yes, this is Kwai, go ahead.

STSF_Seiben: ::performs a scan::

STSF_BluRox: That sounds like a plan Joy

STSF_KBear: +KWai+ Sir IS the admiral busy at the moment? I need to discuss something with her if allowed.

Joy: The remaining question would be how far out before we turn around.

STSF_BluRox: Considering these are years old clues. They all could have been freed at the end of the war for all we know

STSF_Seiben: Well, as far as Cardassian Space. I don't think we're allowed to go in tehre

STSF_BluRox: Well, we were told to check out as many of the remost locations as possible, and after that bird creature thing in the Gamma Quadrant, I'm in no hurry to return to exploration patrol there ,

Joy: Though... sending a message back to make inquiries might be politically sensitive.

LtCdrJAX: ::Steps over to the Engineering console::

STSF_BluRox: And local mystery, seems like a something we should work on as well

STSF_Seiben: YEs, it might...

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: +Kawalas+ Hang on a minute.

STSF_Seiben: THough I'm not too familiar with politics. We'd have to contact the Cardassian ambassador?

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: Admiral. Kawalas would like to speak to you for a brief period. ::and thinking...I get to be the messanger...whoopy!::

Joy: Yes. I'd start with diplomatic contacts. They might forward contacts to local authorities.

STSF_Seiben: I see..

STSF_BluRox: ::turns from listening to the conversation with Seiben and Joy:: I'm sort of busy at the moment, is it something important?

STSF_BluRox: Crew matters should go through the Xo afterall

Joy: This could give warning for plausibly guilty parties, but cruising in uninvited would not be polite.

STSF_Seiben: I agree. Breach of protocols, no?

Joy: Quite so.

STSF_Seiben: Indoubitably

Joy: I would also be careful not to word it as an accusation, if possible.

STSF_Seiben: Ahh..really, eh?

STSF_BluRox: They already know we're out here looking Joy, and it was difficult to obtain the permission to do so. The most we were able to get out of them..is that star map with the locations of several colonies that were included

STSF_KBear: ::waiting to hear back from Rian::

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: <m>Well, we tried that route and she won't listen to my advice and got herself into trouble again. ::a bit louder, resigning herself:: I'll...err...take care of it. ::looking like she's just prounounced her own death sentence::

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: +Kawalas+ Sorry, Kania, we're in the middle of something up here. Is there something I can do to help?

Joy: Emphasize the Jem'Hadar involement and comand, give them no reason to think we are hunting Cardassians if possible.

LtCdrJAX: ::Turns around in her seat:: we could send some probs out.. scan for life signs..

STSF_Seiben: We could do that.

Joy: Hmm.... If we don't have to leave the area they know we are looking in, perhaps no contact is required.

STSF_BluRox: in the original treaties with the Federation. Though, they will not confirm the existance of any others. You are welcome to try to call back for more infor to this specific one, or ano

STSF_KBear: +KWai+ Sorry Sir no this is for the Admirals ears only. ::sighs:: Can you please contact me when she has a moment free?

STSF_BluRox: information to this specific find, or others that may be in the area

STSF_BluRox: ::nods to Kwai that they are busy at the moment::

Joy: :: Compares the exit course to be followed with the mission operations area ::

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: +Kawalas+ I'll let you know when things quiet down up here. But are you sure I can't take care of the issue for you?

Joy: :: Builds a 3D map of the area to be searched, colors the area the Cardassians expect us to be in :

STSF_Seiben: ::Continues to drive the ship and perform searches of the area as well::

Joy: :: Looks to see if there are any systems along the course in an area we aren't really expected to visit. ::

STSF_KBear: ::thinks a moment:: +Kwai+ Only if the Admiral wishes. Its sort of a private matter between us.

STSF_KBear: +Kwai+ Ust inform her the dreams have returned. She will know what IM talking about

LtCdrJAX: *just

STSF_KBear: <<LOL Thanks Jax>>

LtCdrJAX: ::Pokes at her console, then glances at Joy's::

STSF_Seiben: ::taps his console::

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: <m>I really don't want to counsel someone on how to deal with nightmares when I'm having enough trouble with my own. ::sighs::

STSF_BluRox: Seiben, I know you suggestes some of the large colonies that we know are still in existance, and we decided not to pursue that course, but perhaps we should ask a few questions of any along the way, you know, see if they had hear d o f

STSF_Seiben: ::nods:: I remember sir. You're probably right.

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: +Kawalas+ Will do. Kwai out.

STSF_BluRox: ::turns to Rian:: She has a bad habit of wanting to chat, every time I get really busy....:Sigh::

STSF_KBear: ::sighs:: I have to find out whats going on on the bridge. I have to find that orb

STSF_KBear: ::watches Schawana go off on her own playing with her toys::

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: Maybe she's lonely? ::raises a brow:: She said the dreams are back. Whatever that means. ::inches away from Blu lest she makes her go talk to Kawalas about the dangers of nightmares, dreams and other mythic stuff::

Joy: So, perhaps well populated and diplomatically questionable planets might be left for the return trip?

STSF_Seiben: ::shrugs:: MAybe..

Joy: The problem being that the course does eventually take us out of Cardassian space, into free territory. We should likely go somewhat beyond the traditional borders, but not too far.

STSF_Seiben: ..

STSF_Seiben: <Test>

LtCdrJAX: <<pass>

STSF_Seiben: ::nods::

STSF_KBear: ::walks over to tribbles cage and lifts the lid taking out Mixey, then replaces the lid once more::

Joy: :: Starts colorizing solar systems, well populated and diplomatically questionable ones blue, others in the cone green ::

Joy: :: Puts a few not quite in the cone systems in yellow :

STSF_KBear: ::walks back over to the couch and sits stroking the tribble that is purring in her hands::

STSF_Seiben: ::flies the ship along the systems::

Joy: :: Adds M symbol if surveys indicate a Class M planet in the system, R symbol if there are known resources the Dominion might seek during a time of war. :

STSF_KBear: I hope Rian can confence the Admiral to speak with me.

Joy: :: Starts thinking through sensor and analysis patterns again... Energy sources, life signs, communications, warp trail.... ::

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: ::watching Joy and Hans at work::

Joy: :: Starts a computer search on the sort of work done in the labor camps. ::

STSF_BluRox: Yet Joy, that may lead to more answers than we were to percept

STSF_BluRox: <2 minute warning...geez that went by fast>

STSF_Seiben: ::performs a tactical scan of the area for anything they need to be worried about::

Joy: At this point, I find the question to answer ration unpleasent. Too many answers is not my concern just now. :: a small smile to the Admiral. ::

Captain_Huff: <<somebody send me garn's sl picture link>>

Joy: * rather

STSF_KBear: <<< I will if I have it saved on this laptop>>

Captain_Huff: <<i lost the link and need to steal for the website>>

STSF_KBear: <<LOL ok>>

STSF_Seiben: .

STSF_KBear: ::sighs wanting to know whats going on on the bridge::

STSF_Seiben: ::nods::

STSF_Seiben: .

STSF_KBear: <<pass Hans.>

Cdr_Rian_Kwai: ((I need to head off guys. I'll see you next week I hope))

STSF_Seiben: <<nighters>>
