USS Republic Sim log

[STSF_KBear 0]

STSF_BluRox -> Mission Briefing: When last we met the ship while scanning a region of space, was suddenly approached by a bright object, which began scanning the ship. A bright light and piercing squeal half incapacitated the crew, and when everyone began to recover thier senses, found that some of the crew were now missing.

STSF_BluRox -> Missing of note of the officers on the ship were Captain Kwai, Dr. Weber and LtJg Bardolph, along with the Robinson's son Gunner.

August Jax Robinson -> my baby!

STSF_BluRox -> As the crew began to account for their departments, reports of random other crew members missing as well began to come in.

STSF_BluRox -> We have tried to plot a course along the last known tragectory to try to give chase.

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

STSF_BluRox -> Begin sim

STSF_BluRox -> Begin Sim

Joy -> :: Looks and listens, turning slowly around the bridge, trying to get a feel for the emotional states of everyone. ::

STSF_BluRox -> @ ACTION: The missing crew awaken in a small white room, with a bench, and a bowl of water. Gunner however, is not to be found.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::facedown on the floor, semi-conscious, ears still ringing a bit::

STSF_BluRox -> @ ACTION: BARDOLPH ALSO APPEARS TO HAVE A SMALL PATCH OF HAIR MISSING BEHIND HIS LEFT EAR, THAT LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN SHAVED.

Jameson Bardolph -> ((or wait))

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::trying to detect the enemy ship's path::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((yes? we were knocked unconscious, right?))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((or am i misremembering?))

STSF_BluRox -> <Yep, and you're waking now>

Jameson Bardolph -> @::groans, shifting slightly and turning his head to the side, noting that his cheek is stuck in a slight puddle of drool::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::on the bridge at tactical running through sensors scans, whether he was invited to or not::

STSF_BluRox -> Joy, Ayumu...I want all sensor banks working to try to locate that .....whatever it was...

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::groggily waking up, opening her eyes slowly in fear that a residual headache will be present::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods:: Will do, boss

Joy -> Heather, that's your priority. Locate the whatsis.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::on the station-thing, looking around::

STSF_KBear -> :: on the bridge at Ops:: scanning the Area Admiral, not having much luck sir.

Joy -> If you have any inspirations on how the advanced tech works, let me know, but I don't expect it.

Jameson Bardolph -> @Urgh...::pushes himself halfway to a sitting position, rubbing his head::

STSF_BluRox -> ::looking at the screen and sensor data:: Blazes, we don't even have a clear course of where it went...it ...messed up our scanners when it left enough that it's not showing any of this..

STSF_BluRox -> @ACTION: Bardolph touches the shaves spot, which is very tender

STSF_KBear -> ::nods in agreence::

Joy -> Heather, also look up the vector of the original contact. I suspect this is a diversion. They don't want us following our last course.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Leaves Daycare, heads to the lift::

STSF_BluRox -> Joy....it did not damage your processors did it?

Jameson Bardolph -> @::runs a hand through his hair lightly, trying to wake himself up; fingers brushing over the shaved area behind his ear; yelps:: Ow!

Heather Jamieson -> "Aye." :: plots the course the republic had taken ::

Joy -> :: pauses. Runs diagnostics ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::pushing herself up also to a seated postion, rubbing her face:: Let's take a head count. ::frowning::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods as well, sees Will at Tac giving her a hand with scanning::

Joy -> Processors functioning well, Admiral.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Steps on the lift:: Bridge!

Joy -> :: Doesn't quite dare reverse the query ::

Jameson Bardolph -> @Son of a...::prods at the tender area:: What the hell?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Fidgets::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @Mr Bardolph, what is it? ::glancing around, spots first Jameson, then Fiona, starts to mentally click everyone off her listt::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Steps onto the bridge:: Did you find him?

Joy -> This opening reminds me of Q, Admiral. Much power. Arrogance. No indication of knowledge of how to interact favorably with other species.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::tapping at the console as fast as he coherently can::

Capt Rian Kwai -> (or list ::sigh:: :) ))

Joy -> I am not saying this is Q, just that the psychology feels the same.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::doesnt look up from the console:: Not yet.

Jameson Bardolph -> @::angles head around at Kwai:: I...ah...not sure, cap'n. Got a sore bald spot behind my ear, like I cut myself shaving or something.

Jameson Bardolph -> @::pushing himself to his knees, then to his feet, looks around:: Where's the kid?

STSF_KBear -> ::looks to JOy:: I hope its not.

Joy -> I would assume they are more knowledgable of psychology than they wish to show.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Makes a pained noise::

STSF_BluRox -> @ ACTION: Upon closer examination, it appears some sort of incision has been made into Bardolph's head, and resealed, however a fine red line is still present as it's not had time to heal.

Jameson Bardolph -> @::cannot closer examine, as it's behind his ear::

STSF_KBear -> Not yet Cmdr Jax.

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::squints her eyes, trying to figure out what the shaved patch is:: What were you doing shaving your head? ::raises a brow::

Joy -> Acknowledged, KBear. I do not think it is. However, the display seems to be an attempt to discourage brute force solutions. I am not sure we have sufficiently taken the hint.

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::glances around slowly, then a bit faster when she realizes that Gunner is really gone:: Oh frell. :;standing up::

STSF_BluRox -> I would never wish to come across a Q again, I had that misfortune enough about 15 years ago. Once was enough. No..I think if it had been one of the continuum, they'd have just taken who they wanted, and not given us the light and sound show knocking us out. They'd have wanted us to know who it had been

Fiona Weber -> @ ::heads over to Kwai and Bardolph::

Jameson Bardolph -> @I wasn't. ::feels a little foolish as she scrutinizes him:: This wasn't here when we...er...were brought here. ::beat:: Wherever "here" is.

Jameson Bardolph -> @:;glances at Fiona; faint grin at her:: I know you said no away missions, Doc...this one wasn't my idea.

Joy -> :: Turns back to Heaather :: Sorry. I'm letting you push buttons while I think and comment.

August Jax Robinson -> ::holding back from freaking out..for now::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::taps her console::

Joy -> Do you have anything on the think and comment side?

Ayumu Kasuga -> I have nothing so far too

Ayumu Kasuga -> And it's getting harder to determine which way they went as their trail gets colder

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::slightly dizzy from the previous incident, Rian holds her temple for a moment to calm herself:: Fiona, take a look at him. ::squinting at the walls:: I'm going to see if I can find a door.

Joy -> :: Considers the Admiral's words. Disagrees with her evaluation of the Q, but as this doesn't seem to be the Q, decides not to pursue the point at this time. ::

STSF_BluRox -> @ACTION: Kwai notices she has a bit of a pinch in her side, near the lower portion of her rib cage, and Fiona similarly in the back of her neck.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::rubs at her neck, right on cue::

Heather Jamieson -> "The computer is having a time with the data."

Jameson Bardolph -> ((lol))

August Jax Robinson -> ::Give Will the "I am freaked out Look"::

STSF_BluRox -> <ha, you weren't there that time, my assessment was dead on! and he had been masquerading as our Ceng for a year!>

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::has the same freaked out look::

August Jax Robinson -> <<wait me?>>

Joy -> There is an old phrase, associated with a very early artificial intelligence, Heather. "That does not compute." I doubt the computer is going to pop up anything amazing without some guidance from us two footers.

STSF_BluRox -> ::looks over the complete list of those missing:: Frowns and frowns even more when she see's the child is missing.

STSF_KBear -> ::looks back to the Robinsons:: Sirs we are doing all we can.

STSF_BluRox -> <no, this was back in 1995>

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::rubs her rib like she's got a stitch in her side, feigning ignorance that it's anything but a stitch::

LtCmdrRobinson -> <they had computers way back then?>

August Jax Robinson -> <<oh I was in HS being mad at everthing in 95>>

STSF_BluRox -> <<::thwap::>>>

Jameson Bardolph -> @::looks at Fiona for a sec, then tilts his head so she can see the tender-area-that-he-doesn't-know-looks-like-a-scratch::

STSF_KBear -> << ::steps awy from Will ::>>

Jameson Bardolph -> ((I was six years old))

Ayumu Kasuga -> <there were, but they were hamster powered>

Ayumu Kasuga -> < :) >

Fiona Weber -> @ ::scratches again::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Thanks Jameson...now even *I* feel old))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((rofl))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((sorry, cap))

STSF_BluRox -> <pftt, remember your history folks...Republic started in 1991 on a college vax system, and migrated to AOL when it started>

Jameson Bardolph -> ((for what it's worth, i wish i'd been around and playing :P ))

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::approaches the wall, trying to examine it for an opening, the white wall making it difficult for her to see the seams well::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Snaps:: Do more!

STSF_BluRox -> Kawalas...take the bridge... I want Jax and Will in my ready room

STSF_BluRox -> ::stands and crosses the deck::

STSF_KBear -> Yes Sir.

LtCmdrRobinson -> I can't even find his transponder or what direction it went in.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looks out at the viewscreen::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::noting that Fiona does not seem very intent on examining him (the horror), cocks his head at her:: You alright, Doc?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::pauses for a moment before heading for the ready room::

Heather Jamieson -> to Joy: "No, no, the data is just more sporatic. Should be ready shortly."

August Jax Robinson -> ::Follows reluctantly::

Joy -> I shall await shortly, then.

STSF_BluRox -> @ ACTION> Each of the away team seem to have some sort of healing inscision line

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::trying to use both her fingers as well as her eyes to feel for a door of some sort::

Fiona Weber -> @ Examining that... wound.

STSF_KBear -> Ayumu, joy, Is there any way we can get more power to the sencors or scanners to try to at least get a possible direction?

Fiona Weber -> @ Are you certain it's a shaving accident?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Enters the RR::

Jameson Bardolph -> @No, like I told the cap -- I ain't shaved there.

Jameson Bardolph -> ((and please don't take that out of context))

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looks at Joy and Kawalas:: I don't see why not. We could probably get more power from Engineering

Jameson Bardolph -> @It wasn't like that when we got taken.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::in the ready room, but looks rather annoyed to have his search interuptted::

Joy -> I don't think raw power is the problem. We aren't going to find things on active at the ranges involved. I'd crave computer power. But, let's compromise and get both?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::annoyed, but in a handsome way::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yes, that is good

Fiona Weber -> @ ::frown:: That's odd.

Jameson Bardolph -> @Yeah, well, it's not the only thing.

STSF_KBear -> Joy and Ayumu Do whatever you can.

Jameson Bardolph -> @::looking around the room, kicks the bench gently:: Their decor leaves something to be desired.

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, I can understand that you both are very upset. I also know it's useless to not worry and to sit back and let the others search.

Joy -> :: turns to watch Heather's efforts, not wanting to start anything new until her due 'shortly' result has a chance ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yes sir. ::swivles back to face her console to boost power and range to the scanners::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::still circling the room, loosing track if she's on the first time or the third time::

STSF_BluRox -> So, I'm taking you both off active duty stations, the Delta shift can cover for a while, and you can assist the search teams if you wish

STSF_BluRox -> I'm going to do everything possible to find your son and the crew

STSF_KBear -> I::softly:: I cant blame the Robinsons. I would be just as demanding if it were Schawana.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::frowns:: Well, I really should examine one of you.

August Jax Robinson -> So we should just sit around?!

August Jax Robinson -> ::Feels her head exploding::

Heather Jamieson -> :: the display chimed and the final results from the Republic's travel though this sector appeared on her display ::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::lopsided grin at her:: Examine away.

STSF_BluRox -> No....I'm saying that instead of you worrying about engineering crap, you have permission to help with the search mission

Jameson Bardolph -> @Not like I've got anything else to distract my attention.

LtCmdrRobinson -> I'm sorry Admiral, my wife has hearing problems when she is upset.

Capt Rian Kwai -> @You can start with Mr Bardolph ::from the far end of the room as she's running her hand from floor to as high as she can reach::

Fiona Weber -> @ ::flat look::

STSF_BluRox -> It's not a problem. I just wanted to let you know we're here for you, and not to worry about your departments, there are others that can look after things.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Thank you Admiral, we appreciate it

Jameson Bardolph -> @::smirks slightly, walks over to sit on the bench::

Heather Jamieson -> "Joy, the results are in.."

Joy -> And the winner is?

Fiona Weber -> @ ::doesn't have a medkit (doesn't think so, anyway), pokes at the wound carefully::

Jameson Bardolph -> @Ow!

STSF_KBear -> Dear prophets please keep our ship mates save. ::said softly::

STSF_BluRox -> You have the full use of the ships sensors, and astrometrics as well

STSF_BluRox -> Please request any assistance you need as well

STSF_BluRox -> However, I will make one demand.

Capt Rian Kwai -> @:;trying to contain her frustration and agitation at the moment:: Gently, Doctor. Please.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::doesn't pay attention, continues poking at::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::nods::

Fiona Weber -> @ ::gives Kwai a glance::

Joy -> :: Remembers last time crew was kidnapped by mega powers, and is not happy to hear Kawalis invoking the prophets. ::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::winces::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to August:: In your condition, I do NOT need you losing the ones your carrying as well

LtCmdrRobinson -> <ones? how many ones?>

August Jax Robinson -> I'm fine!

STSF_KBear -> <<LOL I caught that too>>

STSF_BluRox -> You will take a mandatory rest bread after each 18 hours. Am I understood?

Jameson Bardolph -> @((uh oh))

Joy -> <Twos? Threes?>

Ayumu Kasuga -> <lol.. twins?>

LtCmdrRobinson -> <oh crap>

August Jax Robinson -> ::Doesn't like the Prophets AT ALL::

Ayumu Kasuga -> <Jax can be the new octo-mom!>

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::has her back turned, so she misses the look::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::nods again::

STSF_BluRox -> Will, I trust you'll see that she does?

STSF_KBear -> ::waiting to hear Heathers results::

Jameson Bardolph -> @See anything you like, Doc? ::a little sardonically as she pokes and prods::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Needs to beat up someone::

LtCmdrRobinson -> I'll keep a hypo nearby in case I need to knock her out for her own good.

STSF_BluRox -> Very well..I'll let you get back to you searching.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::quickly heads back onto the bridge and to the console he was working at without another word::

Fiona Weber -> @ Well. That's interesting.

August Jax Robinson -> <<Weber, The Look... it's mine>

Jameson Bardolph -> @::beat; waits:: Yes?

STSF_KBear -> ::notes will returning looks back to see if the others are following::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::soft sigh, turning her back on the wall:: <q> This is making me dizzy. ::she winces at seeing more "white"::

STSF_BluRox -> <I'd suggest Apollo LOL. Cause he's not here to defend himself>

Fiona Weber -> @ Absolutely nothing. ::mutter::

Ayumu Kasuga -> <lol>

August Jax Robinson -> <<Second>>

Fiona Weber -> <<LOL>>

August Jax Robinson -> :: Follows Will out::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @I can't find an exit. ::clearly torn between the old Kwai who wanted to panic about being held captive again, at the woman she's finally grown into::

STSF_KBear -> :: watches the two move to a console::

Jameson Bardolph -> @Erm.

Jameson Bardolph -> @So...we're being held captive by someone who wanted a lock of my hair?

Fiona Weber -> @ Well. ::steps away:: That is quite odd.

Fiona Weber -> @ I have no idea why they would.

Jameson Bardolph -> @<m> Could have picked worse souvenirs I guess.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Stands next to Will:::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Glances at readings::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::rejoining Jameson and Fiona::

Fiona Weber -> @ Well, something is going on. What... is another story.

STSF_KBear -> Joy? any Luck?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Can't we launch some probes in every direction to expand our search capabilities? Maybe one of them would pick up a transponder? ::to anyone::

Joy -> Negative.

Joy -> :: to will :: Maybe a few selective directions.

STSF_KBear -> We have probes out Will. So far nothing.

Jameson Bardolph -> @Kwai> No luck, Cap?

Joy -> Heather, switch tactics for a moment. Those things have a huge power profile. They have to be to go transwarp. See if you can find anything like a warp trail or ion trail.

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::folds her arms, trying to hid the face she wants to rub the stitch at her side:: No, I can't seem to find anything yet. I'll try again in a few minutes. My eyes were getting a bit blurred from the wall color.

Heather Jamieson -> :: nods :: :: scans for residual signs of transwarp wakes and gravity alterations ::

Jameson Bardolph -> @Yeah...they don't exactly have a taste for variety, do they? ::grins, trying to lighten the mood a bit, though he's personally starting to get a bit thrown by the situation, internally::

August Jax Robinson -> (m) I think My head is going to explode

Jameson Bardolph -> @::rubs the sore spot absently and then grunts:: Ow.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::takes a seat, sigh::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::sour look, cletching her teeth:: No, I don't suppose they do.

Fiona Weber -> @ Get the weirdest feeling we're test subjects?

Capt Rian Kwai -> @:;alarmed look:: Test subjects?

STSF_KBear -> August have faith. We will find him. ALL Of them. You know we will not stop until we do.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::still looking:: August, could you please go through the library computer and look up any other incidents similiar to this one. Might be some useful information in there somewhere

Jameson Bardolph -> @Testing for what, though?

August Jax Robinson -> ::takes a seat and bring up the library, starts searching..::

Jameson Bardolph -> @Tell me our captors don't have an affinity for Sartre.

Fiona Weber -> @ I don't know. I'm not carrying anything. ::gives a look at Bardolph for a moment:: It could just be somehow... sizing us up.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at KB:: I know... but he is just so small

STSF_KBear -> :: sighs a bit wishing she could be more enthusiastic

August Jax Robinson -> ::Pokes at console::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @I'm not liking this. ::frowning::

STSF_KBear -> ::nods:: I know. Im worried about him too. Remember I have a child here too.

STSF_BluRox -> Alright, that's all I have, back to your search, adn I'll work on some other ideas

Fiona Weber -> @ But why would they take... ::gaze goes to the Robinson spawn:: ... that as well?

Fiona Weber -> @ Unless to somehow evaluate the species?

Jameson Bardolph -> ((he's not here anymore, isn't he?))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((didn't he vanish?))

LtCmdrRobinson -> I'm sure whomever has him August, he has probably already escaped and is running around the cooridors of their ship, causing who knows how much damage.

Capt Rian Kwai -> @Three humans and a Trill?

STSF_KBear -> << the child isnt with your group>>

STSF_BluRox -> @ ACTION: Gunner is still missing

Joy -> << Will, you forgot to mention naked. >>

STSF_BluRox -> <that you know of, there are other crew missing as well>

STSF_KBear -> << two engineers if I remember correctly>>

LtCmdrRobinson -> @ ::Gunners toy phaser is laying on the floor with the away team::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((Blu, PM))

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::can't stand it any more, turns her back to the group and pulls up her tunic a bit to see what the pain in her side is::

Fiona Weber -> (Oh, I missed that. Sorry!)

Fiona Weber -> @ ::frowns, following Kwai:: A similar injury? ::rubs at her nck a bit:: If you want, I can take a look. I haven't been able to figure out whether or not something has been embedded in us. I wouldn't be surprised.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Knee bounces::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::grimaces slightly and rests his head on the heels of his hands for a minute::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::puts her tunic back down, glances between Weber and Bardolph:: You going to poke me like you did him?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::quietly:: Where are you, kid? ::keeps searching::

Fiona Weber -> @ With all due respect, I am a doctor, contrary to whatever most people on this ship think. I do know what I'm doing, even when I'm "poking".

Jameson Bardolph -> @::grins in spite of himself at that question:: I'm sure she'll be much nicer to you.

Jameson Bardolph -> @::hand goes absently to the empty holster at his side; mutters an oath under his breath::

STSF_BluRox -> @ ACTION> Suddenly, a portion of the wall opens, and a tall pale ..'humanoid' for lack of a better tem, points at Bardolph.

STSF_KBear -> :: shuts up not wanting to make Will and Jax feel even worse. at least she hasnt gotten any word that her daughter is missing::

Fiona Weber -> @ ::stands a bit straighter, peering at their captor::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Winces::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::raises her brows, looking at the odd creature:: Who are you? What do you want with us?

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Ok...we'll go by the best representation of it's route. we do have it's incoming tragectroy, let's try to find them on that incoming path

STSF_KBear -> Aye Sir ::relinquishs the center chair to BluRox::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::trying also to make a mental note of the wall opening for future examination::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::reviewing scams and continues course::

Ayumu Kasuga -> scans*

STSF_KBear -> Ayumu lets find this thing

Jameson Bardolph -> @Holy...::starts up to his feet as the thing points at him:: Good morning there, lad. I think you have me at a disadvantage. ::overly confident; clearly very unnerved::

Ayumu Kasuga -> AYe aye

STSF_BluRox -> @ ACTION> The creature makes a few clicks and moises to it's follow creature, as another enters, carrying the prone, limp body of Gunner and sets it on the floor, as another presses a baton againsts Bardolphs chest, causing him to collapse immediately

Fiona Weber -> @ ::not big on the idea of letting them take anybody::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Fidgets in her seat::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::glancing from Fiona to Jameson then back to Fiona with an eyebrow raised as if to ask...You sure there's not somethign wrong with him?::

August Jax Robinson -> Gunner> ::Like all children, looks cute when he is a sleep::

STSF_BluRox -> @ Creature motions for 2 others to pick up Jaemson, and steps over the unconscious form of Gunner on the floor

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks at the telemetry on the map, piloting a course::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::seeing the kid:: Whoooa, now -- I think we...uhhhhh...::slumps::

Fiona Weber -> @ ::makes her way over to Gunner as quickly as she can without inciting the creatures::

STSF_BluRox -> @ ACTION> Gunner has several obvious healing inscision woulds as well.

STSF_BluRox -> as they leave with Bardolph.

STSF_BluRox -> and..

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

Jameson Bardolph -> @::picked up and dragged off::
