[Cmdr JFarrington 0]

The starship USS Yorktown has been skirting the edge of Breen space for three weeks, making scans and sending communications attempts. They enter Breen space and find a class-M planet that was previously occupied by the Breen totally abandoned. An away team has beamed down to investigate.

STSF Sorehl -> << Tonight's classroom is out-of-character, that is, not as cadets but players. >>

STSF Sorehl -> :::walks to the podium:::

TKAR -> ::Ready to learn::

TMir -> ::finds a seat somewhere in the middle, mug of green tea with lemon and honey steaming contentedly on the desk::

STSF Sorehl -> Good evening, cadets, visitors.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> ::seated somewhere in the middle, listening::

STSF Sorehl -> Tonight's classroom discussion will focus on plot development and story-telling style...

STSF Sorehl -> ...with a specific emphasis on one aspect.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> ::takes a seat::

STSF Sorehl -> As a player, what do you do when the host gives you a fairly "open ended" development in the plot, such as...

Avani -> ::is listening carefully::

STSF Sorehl -> ...ACTION: The ship approaches a class M planet.

TKAR -> ::listens carefully now what::

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> ::raises hand::

STSF Sorehl -> Treky?

TMir -> ::raises hand as well::

TKAR -> ::rasises another hand::

STSF Sorehl -> Then TMir, then TKAR. << Feel free to type your comment, then hit ENTER when I call on you. >>

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> You enquire to the commanding officer regarding scanning the planet for life forms as well as plant classifications. sir.

STSF Sorehl -> That works. Although you can address the XO, as well. Some CO's may prefer that.

STSF Sorehl -> TMir?

TMir -> Provide useful sensor readings, like rough tech level, orbital traffic, etc.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> ::nods in aggreeance::

STSF Sorehl -> Ah, but how do you know any of those things?

STSF Sorehl -> While you consider, TKAR go ahead with your comment.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> ::gets back in seat after falling into cyberspace::

STSF Sorehl -> TKAR?

TKAR -> SIR,what about the prime directive about any civilizations that are pre warp drive,should we scann them?

STSF Sorehl -> Scanning a pre-warp civilization is usually fine, but that leads back to my last question - if all you have is ACTION: There's a class-M planet, how do you know what your scanners will show?

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> ::raises hand::

STSF Sorehl -> TMir, did you have a follow-up? If not, then Treky.

TMir -> CSCI> Scanning the planet Captain/XO

TMir -> Or some hosts will want to sit back, and see where the cadets take the plot development, providing a guiding hand if the class input gets too extreme.

TKAR -> ::Raises hand::

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> :: hands still up::

STSF Sorehl -> Exactly. (to your second point) On the first comment, you've hit just the right balance...

TKAR -> ::Nods::

DaryusZaphodDracal -> ::raises hand::

STSF Sorehl -> that is, you're prompting to see if the host has something in mind BEFORE inventing details that might clash with their planned plot.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> :: looks to zaphod thinking what does a cat know about science::

STSF Sorehl -> Because as you say, some hosts are open to completely free form invention and others may have a scripted concept they intend to reveal bit by bit.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> ::grins::

STSF Sorehl -> As you learn your host, you may already predict this, but in an Academy you may wish to use caution before inventing details. Good comment, TMir.

STSF Sorehl -> OK, Treky, you were next.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> ::nods::

STSF Sorehl -> Then Daryus.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> ::thinking::

TKAR -> Sir,you really don,t know what to find;the scanners might malfuction,warp core in balance,there are many varables on a mission like that

STSF Sorehl -> True. See if the host intends to lead you in a certain direction BEFORE leaping to invent a subplot or major development.

Avani -> ::raises hand::

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> Any planet, Class M for instance if the XO consents, a full diagnostic scan will conclude any possible life forms, vegitation, atmosphere: carbon , oxgen etc.. some of which can just be picked up by running a surface scan by science or tatical.

TKAR -> ::Raises hand::

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> ::listening::

STSF Sorehl -> All true. The trick is figuring out how to report what you find - asking for all of the above would require a short novel in the form of an action.

STSF Sorehl -> But that doesn't necessarily mean you should leap to fill in the gaps yourself. It depends on the host and on the mission.

STSF Sorehl -> Daryus?

DaryusZaphodDracal -> You could respectfully suggest to the XO a proper action, if that happens

DaryusZaphodDracal -> Depending on your station

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> ::thinking, leaping ahead has an educated guess of a 90 percent probability of getting corrected by the host and a 70 Percent chance of getting you a promotion in rank::

STSF Sorehl -> That's true. Your response to input is almost always within your control, but what's going on outside is the subject of the Host, unless they defer to player creativity.

STSF Sorehl -> Often true, Treky.

STSF Sorehl -> Avani, did you have a comment?

TKAR -> ::Raises hand again,nodsto sorehi::

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <treky><STSF Sorehl> ::thinking. I've been there::

TKAR -> <writes down notes>

STSF Sorehl -> Be aware, if one is uncertain about what they see on sensors, there are several options. A PM to the host: What do I see? Or a question onscreen << Are there life forms? >> Or the prompting that TMir suggested: Scanning the planet...

Avani -> I think the biggest problem is always trying to figure out what the GM wants to do with the plot. Now, if the GM simply says "Class M" without anything more, how can a player know if they're supposed to report humanoid life or not? Not knowing what the GM

STSF Sorehl -> But if the host responds with: What do you see? without a supporting ACTION or PM response, you're probably safe using some imagination.

Avani -> expects can be very confusing at times. For example, I have no information on what I'm supposed to find, don't know if I may make it up, and yet I am asked to run scans. Should I in that case PM the GM and ask them?

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> ::taking notes::

Avani -> (Yikes.)

DaryusZaphodDracal -> ::raises hand::

Avani -> (But then again, you just answered most of my questions. Oh well.)

TKAR -> ::good point::

STSF Sorehl -> :::smirk::: I think my comments may have just addressed that. So obviously that was an EXCELLENT question.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::chuckle::

Avani -> ::raises hand::

STSF Sorehl -> We'll need to cut questions short and move on to our simulation. But please hold them and feel free to ask after we conclude.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> ::crud::

DaryusZaphodDracal -> ::lowers hand::

Cmdr JFarrington -> Greetings, Capain.

STSF Sorehl -> :::looks to Jami::: If you'd do the honors?

Avani -> ::does so as well::

Captain Halloway -> <CO> :: drops into the Center Chair :: It's damn peculiar, I tell you.

Captain Halloway -> <CO> <XO> Three weeks and no sign of them. Not even a belligerent sabre-rattling.

TMir -> XO> CO> Could be a particular religious festival that they're celebrating? We know almost next to nothing about their culture or history.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <hops>::checks in with all department heads::

Captain Halloway -> <CO><TAC> :: swivels chair around :: Keep sharp, though. We know the Breen have used cloaking devices from time to time.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac> ::waiting for the call for departments to report to XO.::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <SEC/ENG/SCI> <hops> ::send ready reports:::

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> That would be nice. But I don't think we're that lucky.

TKAR -> <AMO><CMO><CO><hops> Sir,medical personal reports all finished and all heathly.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac><CO> Affirmative sir, all systems are normal.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <hops>::punches up charts::

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <<Does Soverign class and cloking devices of the breen suggest they may have gotten their technology from the romulans?>>

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> Actually, I'm surprised they let us wait this long.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <Breen have their own much more advanced technology, Lil >

Avani -> <CMO> <AMO> ::takes the reports:: Oh, good, you've finished already.

STSF Sorehl -> << TNG suggests the Breen have their own brand of cloak. >>

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <<thank you cmdr>>

TMir -> XO> CO> Captain, shall we bring the ship battlestations? Going into Breen space with any posture less that Red Alert makes for an unwarranted risk.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::strides onto the bridge and takes the security console:::

TMir -> ^to

Captain Halloway -> <CO> :: frowns, thinking ::

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <hops><XO>Class h star, 5 planets, one inhabited sir

TKAR -> <AMO>::Nods to CMO::<CMO>the new Medical systems are updated and running::Gives the CMO the new tricorder too::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::slight pause at the word "battlestations"::

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <<was that cool>>?

Captain Halloway -> <CO><HOPS> Can we get readings on that system from this far out? Real-time, I mean. Not just the database.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::noting the ship's trajectory, she calls up reserves to reinforce internal security:::

STSF Sorehl -> << Perfect. Without host prompt, his asking implied you were good to invent. And it wasn't an outrageous report. :: looks for gold star :: >>

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac> ::ready for alert status, ready for anything just in case::

Avani -> <CMO> <AMO> ::smiles:: Very nice, ms. TKAR. Thank you. Now, tell me, are you ready to face the Breen?

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HoPS><CO>Not yet sir, just long range scans. But, one planet is inhabited.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::knowing Gamma will grumble at being called in early::grins:::

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> You're right, of course. But... we're already crossing in. We may want to assume a less belligerent posture.

Captain Halloway -> <CO> :::hearing HOPS::: Hmmm.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::would tend to agree with the captain, but she wasn't asked, so she continues working at the console:::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <Greetings, Doctor>

TMir -> XO> CO> I recommend against that, Captain. From what was observed during the Dominion war, the Breen respect power, and the authority confered behind it.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac> ::hearing depts conversing and taking in the information::

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS><CO>I'll report as soon as I can get short range scans sir.

TMir -> XO> CO> Entering Breen space ready to fight will show that we respect their own power.

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> :::nods::: That's consistent with my experience. I'm glad you agree.

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> It's a short hop across the border, but approaching a Breen colony might be provocative in itself...

TKAR -> <AMO>::Rechecks data from medical tricorder::<CMO>yes, sir the medical teams are on stand by and everyone went over the new data on who are the breen.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> ::calibrates scans::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <Greets, Vil>

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> Still, I think you're right. <TAC> Red alert.

TMir -> XO> CO> Aye sir. That it might.

Captain Halloway -> <CO><HOPS> Lay in a course for that system, warp 6.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::pulls her dept to red:::

TMir -> XO> TAC> Have all departments set Condition One throughout the ship, Lil, and report in when at battle stations.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac> Red alert sir sheilds 100%. R\eady for avasive manouvers when if necessary::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::Dingo team enters the bridge and takes strategic positions around the command area:::

Captain Halloway -> <CO><CSEC> :: swivels chair :: Frankly, we're hoping to prompt a non-hostile response, but be ready.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS><CO> Aye sir, ::set coordinates and warp to 6 and engages::

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tacc><ALL DEPT> Set condition one, i repeat set conditon one and report when at battlestations.

TMir -> XO> TAC> Prep a log buoy with all pertinent ship's logs and include a copy of our current orders and recent changes.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::turns:: <TAC> Security is at full alert. ::indicates her team already on the bridge:::

Captain Halloway -> <CO> :: runs a hand through his head, leaning back further in his chair ::

TKAR -> <AMO>::smiles ::<CMO>Red alert medical teams, and sir here are the now medical pouch to;designed by you and Dr.MCCOY of the enterprise.

TMir -> XO> ::feels the slight vibration through the deck as blast doors slam into position::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::notes one female security officer is very close to Halloway, unable to resist his magnetism:::

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> You weren't on the ship then, but we've engaged the Breen twice during my command. I'm not pleased to say they've gotten the better of me both times.

Avani -> <CMO> ::hails all medical personel and instructs them to find a post near every critical point of the ship::

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac>XO> ::nods:: Affirmative, level one battlestation command issued, awaiting report sir. ::prepping logs::

TMir -> XO> CO> Well then, sir, with luck we'll get the jump on them this time.

Avani -> <CMO> <AMO> ::smiles:: Ms. TKAR, you are too kind, I merely made some slight modifications.

Captain Halloway -> <CO> :: looks onscreen ::

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS><CO>Sir, We're in range of that system, but the planet that showed inhabited, is showing just vegitation and water

TMir -> XO> TAC> Thank you Lil.

Captain Halloway -> <CO><HOPS> :: frowns :: Is our database out of date? :: looks onscreen ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::nonchalantly walks towards her ,then leans close to whisper:: <ASEC> Personal space. ::Then steps back as she steps back:::

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <Tac> :: has all logs, inserting orders and updating changes:: <tac><XO> Not a problem sir, it's my duty as starfeet cadet.

Captain Halloway -> <CO> :: smiles pleasantly at security ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::respectful nod to the Captain:::

Avani -> <CMO> ::receives a report:: <TAC> Medical personel is ready.

TMir -> XO> CO> Could have been evacuated, Captain. And to be honest, I don't trust database reports until I've seen the planet with mine own eyes

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS><CO>Planet shows no intelegent life. ::checks scanners again::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::head-tick to her ASEC to change places with another:::

Captain Halloway -> <CO><HOPS> :: frowns :: Damn peculiar.

TMir -> XO> ::leaves teh command pit, and heads for an empty science station to ride the sensors::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::still by the captain:: <CO> Aye, sir. I surely is.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS> ::Agrees::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> *It

TKAR -> <AMO><CMO>::Nods,starts working with CMO::Sir,everyone is ready including your pet snale Logan.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac><XO> ::Sends logs with orders and changes to the nearby console for XO's review.:: <XO><tac>The report is ready for you sir and it is affirmative everyone is at their battlestation posts. Anything further sir?

TMir -> XO> ::looks at the readings::

Captain Halloway -> <CO><TAC> Anything on tactical sensors? Any ship deployments? Anything?

TKAR -> <<snake>>

Avani -> <CMO> <HOPS> Would you mind sending me your data, please?

Captain Halloway -> <CO> :: gets to his feet, paces toward the Main Viewer ::

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS>::starts scanning for caves and other underground structurs::

Avani -> <CMO> <AMO> Good. I'd hate to see anything happen to Logan.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac>:: scanning:: <tac><CO> Nothing yet sir. the report is at the console nearest to you for the XO to review sir.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS><CMO>ok, ::Sends data::

TMir -> XO> CO> Sensor readings confirmed, Captain. There are signs of habitation, but it appears it has been deserted from some time.

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Incoming sensors show evidence of buildings and structures, but no higher life-forms on the planet labelled as inhabited.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::returns to her console to check team deployment and SitRep:::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::keeps one eye on the viewscreen:::

TMir -> ((gmta Sorehl?))

TKAR -> <AMO><CMO>sir,should the medical teams have one security personal with them?

STSF Sorehl -> << Obviously a well-trained officer. >>

Captain Halloway -> <CO> I don't get it. Did they abandon their own colony?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <or channeling the inner Sorehl>

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS><CO>I'm showing cities, and roads, but no people.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac><xo> sir, scanners show tall structure evidence but nothing more about the planets supposed inhavitants.

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The Yorktown is approaching the outer edge of the planetary system.

TMir -> ((Inner Imperial, maybe ::chuckles:: ))

Captain Halloway -> <CO> :: nods at the reports ::

TMir -> XO> TAC> Understood. Keep an eye on the threat board. Sound out if anything decloaks.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS><CO> Approaching outer edge of the system sir.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac><CO> will do sir.

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> :: scoffs at himself :: We're supposed to be solving this mystery, not raising new ones.

TKAR -> <AMO><SCI officer>Do you have more data on our friends?

Captain Halloway -> <CO><HOPS> Drop us from warp as we get to that abandoned planet, then enter orbit.

Avani -> <CMO> <AMO> Our teams are always lurking around security personel when we're at red alert. I doubt it's any different this time. ::pauses:: Take a look at these scans with me. It's possible the Breen are trying to mask their bio-signs.

TMir -> XO> CO> Captain, perhaps the Breen felt they could not adequately defend this colony in the event of a Federation counterinvasion?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> :eyes narrow, listening to the conversation::

Avani -> <CMO> <AMO> I don't think it's very likely, but, then again, you never know with the Breen.

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> :: shrugs :: I don't know. I've known the Breen to be aggressive, but paranoid?

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS><CO> Aye sir.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac>XO> Sir this abandoned planet may have left signs behind from former inhavitants.

TKAR -> <AMO>::checks on bio signs from medical computer console,retunes sensors readings::

TMir -> XO> CO> Paranoia can be a healthy thing, Captain.

Captain Halloway -> <CO><TAC> Agreed. <XO> Up to leading a team down there? See this mystery up close?

TMir -> XO> TAC> And presents for snooping Starfleet or pirates, Lil.

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS>::Drops from warp, and parks in a standard orbit::<CO>Orbit established sir.

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Scans within the system continue to show no advanced life-forms on the planet. Also, no evidence of battle damage or ecological problems.

TMir -> XO> CO> Of course, Captain. However, I'd like a full resolution scan of the landing zone before beaming down. I'd rather not run into any nasty surprises.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <tac><XO> agreed sir. I will be happy to accompany a team with you down to the surface when ready sir.

TKAR -> <AMO><CMO>sir,i fine tuned the sensors on the medical bio unitit should pick up a better scan of the breen now.

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> Agreed. <HOPS> Pick an urban area for full scan. Let's pick a spot for our team.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <<I hope my shirt is yellow, smiles>>

Avani -> <CMO> <AMO> ::looks at the data:: Still nothing, I see. Well, it's safe to assume they aren't here.

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> Who do you want with you? :: looks toward CMO ::

Avani -> <CMO> <AMO> I hope.

TMir -> ((Not stupid, not expendable, and not going without a full scan :o ))

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Concentrated scans show no evidence of Breen life signatures.

Avani -> (May I remind you I have a green shirt? :) )

TMir -> XO> CO> Medical, Security, Sciences and Engineering.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::standing with her arms crossed, watching the viewscreen and listening to the chatter:::

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <<Tac I assume is one of the attending security officers?>>

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS><CO>Aye sir. ::Starts scanning:: <CO>Scans show nothing out of the ordinary, just an abandoned city.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::reaches over without turning and presses a button on her console, calling up the next rotation for the AT:::

STSF Sorehl -> << Fear not, TMir. No groupings of domesticated animals on this one. >>

Avani -> <CMO> <XO> I'm ready, Sir. I have also taken the liberty of taking some scans from the medical console. It confirms there are no life signs.

Captain Halloway -> <CO><HOPS> Just. Very good.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <Greets, Random>

Captain Halloway -> <CO><XO> Take your team and get down there. We'll cover from orbit.

Vulcan_Treky (Lil) -> <random>

TMir -> ((Good. And I needn't be wearing the tavern wench outfit this time either))

DaryusZaphodDracal -> <HOPS><CO>I've sent the coordinates to the transporter room sir.

TMir -> XO> CO> Understood.

TMir -> XO> CMO> Doctor.

TKAR -> <AMO>::Working on medical scanner,uses it on the doctor to see if it works::<CMO>sir,the scanner does read human it does work.

The starship USS Yorktown has been skirting the edge of Breen space for three weeks, making scans and sending communications attempts. They enter Breen space and find a class-M planet that was previously occupied by the Breen totally abandoned.

 

An away team has beamed down to investigate.
