[Rue Wydown 0]

Cptn Swain -> afk for a few seconds

Rue Wydown -> Hey Tandy

Tandaris Admiran -> I feel weird.

Tandaris Admiran -> I'm not the first one here!

Tandaris Admiran -> I'm never the first one here!

Tandaris Admiran -> Oh good.

Rue Wydown -> You're the first green peg.

Tandaris Admiran -> Fae's here. ^_^ That could have been awkward.

Fae -> :: Smiles ::

Rue Wydown -> How goes it all?

Cptn Swain -> Back

Fae -> Someone claiming to be Tandaris showed up early. :: Looks a little dubious. :: ;)

Tandaris Admiran -> I'm the real deal.

Fae -> Likely right. Who would pretend to be Tandaris?

Tandaris Admiran -> If you need proof, just give me access to your bank account. I have funds from a deposed dictator that I can deposit.

Cptn Swain -> When did I get deposed?

Cptn Swain -> Hmmm?

Tandaris Admiran -> Not you, dear.

Tandaris Admiran -> Another dictator.

Cptn Swain -> You were cheating on me with with another dictator??

Tandaris Admiran -> Yay, new Mythbusters!

Cptn Swain -> You strumpet.

Tandaris Admiran -> ... you were gone for so long.

Tandaris Admiran -> I have NEEDS

Rue Wydown -> Now we know where Tandy gets his ideas.

Cptn Swain -> Now, all we need is our medical staff to show up.

Rue Wydown -> I knew there was a reason engineering was such an interesting place to visit....

Cptn Swain -> :/

Maryse Dubois -> hiya

Cptn Swain -> Ask and I shall get, eh?

Taryn Castell -> BLAM!

Taryn Castell -> In your face!

Maryse Dubois -> hehe

Taryn Castell -> I mean... hi, everyone.

Fae -> Is that one a friendly? Just curious.

Cptn Swain -> LOL

Cptn Swain -> Yay! Almost a full house tonight.

Cptn Swain -> MISSION BRIEF: Excalibur continues onto the Enodorin system where they are expecting to conduct a number of geothermal surveys on they still forming star-system. Questions?

Tandaris Admiran -> How close are we?

Cptn Swain -> From Endorin, we're about another day out.

Cptn Swain -> Anyone else?

Taryn Castell -> Did I die last week?

Tandaris Admiran -> Yes, but we resurrected you as a potato.

Taryn Castell -> A sweet potato?

Taryn Castell -> :D

Tandaris Admiran -> No, just a potato.

Taryn Castell -> Half-baked?

Rue Wydown -> That you're gonna launch from a potato cannon?

Taryn Castell -> Woot! No further questions, your honor.

Cptn Swain -> Alright, let's get rolling.

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Cptn Swain -> ::In the RR, looking over duty reports, rather pleased that the crew seemed to be adapting the change in command. Of course it was easy to do that when there wasn't an emergency. The first real test, he decided, would come when they faced adversity under him for the first time.::

Fae -> :: At OPS, starting to point sensors at the area of our destination ::

Rue Wydown -> ::exiting the lift out on to the bridge, rolling her sore shoulder trying to get the kinks out of her muscles::

Taryn Castell -> ::In the medical lab, Taryn already had a couple of experiments to monitor, though really the computer monitored them. She just looked at the results now and again and tweaked the environmental settings as needed.::

Fae -> :: Glances back at Rue and nods ::

Cptn Swain -> ACTION> Incoming transmission from Camelot on priority channel.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::in engineering, now testing the probes' sensor packages to make sure he didn't break anything important::

Ryan Mesner -> In coming transmission from Camelot, priority channel. ::turns to Rue from tactical::

Maryse Dubois -> ::In main sickbay for the moment, catching up on a couple patient reports. Once she finishes, she heads for the lab.::

Rue Wydown -> ::is thinking at least one of her instructors is a sadist, nods a little at Fae as she goes over and takes her seat::

Cptn Swain -> ::Leaning back in his chair, reading the PADD, he let his thoughts drift.::

Rue Wydown -> Audio or visual, Mr Mesner?

Major Cloud -> ::In the main lounge, drinking coffee after a long shift.::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Lane:: OK, begin sending the modulated pulses.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::in the weapons locker, checking in with the master at arms, verifying inventory numbers::

Ryan Mesner -> ::glances back:: Visual.

Rue Wydown -> Put 'er up on screen then, let's see what they have to say.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::watches as Lane uses a tricorder to simulate sensor input::

Taryn Castell -> Hello little deatomized sugar particles. ::Bending down to peer inside the container, she rapped at it with one fingernail.::

Ryan Mesner -> ::does so, tapping away::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::taking into account the weapons "on loan" from the Marine unit::

Cptn Swain -> Abronvonvich> ::The white-haired Admiral's face filled the screen. There was a look of concern on his face, but it wasn't dire.:: Good morning, Commander.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Pokes her head into the lab, seeing Taryn talk to a container.:: Hey, should I leave you two alone? ::Grins as she stands by the doorway.::

Rue Wydown -> Is it morning all ready? My how the time flies. ::pauses:: Whotcha, Admiral?

Cptn Swain -> Abronvonvich> I do hope Captain Swain wasn't too set on the geothermal survey. ::He frowned:: I am altering your orders.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::satisfied with the report from the MAA, heads on to main security to add a note to the log::

Fae -> :: (Carefully avoids saying 'son of von bitch' aloud. ) ::

Taryn Castell -> ::Straightens, but doesn't look abashed.:: Not at all. Everyone is welcome. ::Smirks.:: You will find me talking to myself quite a lot, I'm afraid. I like to work things out aloud. Did you need anything, Doctor? I was just doing a bit of monitoring while we were short on patients.

Taryn Castell -> (( LOL! ))

Cptn Swain -> Abronvonvich> We have recieved a transmission from the Caldor system requesting Starfleet assistance.

Rue Wydown -> Whot sort of assistancce?

Fae -> :: Starts looking up and plotting a course for Caldor ::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Shakes her head lightly.:: No, I was just seeing how you and your projects were doing.

Cptn Swain -> Abronvonvich> Formal orders regarding the situation will be forthcoming. ::he sighed:: Apparently they've experienced a large number of "geologic events" ::airquotes audible:: and their hospitals are becoming overwhelmed.

Cptn Swain -> Abronvonvich> You are to provide whatever assistance they require for as long as is required. We will continue monitor the situation via your reports and will go from there.

Ryan Mesner -> ::lovely. Sighs::

Taryn Castell -> Ah, very well, thank you. Come see for yourself, if you like. I've got one running on isolating sugar molecules in a deatomized solution, which the latest research states might be the key to reducing the side-effects of certain medicines.

Rue Wydown -> Aye sir. ::nods::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Lane:: I'm reading the gamma spikes properly, but it looks like the neutrino emissions aren't registering.

Rue Wydown -> ((A spoonfull of sugar helps the medicine go down?))

Cptn Swain -> Abronvonvich> I am sure Captain Swain will be disappointed that he won't get to conduct his experiments, but he'll understand. Have a good day, Commander. Camelot, out.

Taryn Castell -> (( Rue, you are too smart. ;) ))

Maryse Dubois -> ((lol))

Rue Wydown -> ((Now I got that song stuck in my head!))

Fae -> I've a course ready for you...

Rue Wydown -> Well, Ms Waters, you heard the man. Let's plot a course to the Caldor system.

Fae -> Ready to go...

Rue Wydown -> Thank Ms Waters, best possible speed then.

Fae -> :: Enables the course change at current crusing speed of 7 ::

Rue Wydown -> Mr Mesner, can you see what packet of info we've got on the database for the Caldor system and if there are any threats, security or otherwise, that we need to be aware of.

Fae -> @ :: Shifts to warp 9 with intent to review how hard she can push and make the distance ::

Ryan Mesner -> ::Nods to Rue, before begining to tap away::

Rue Wydown -> Ms Waters, also please alert medical that we may be providing aid soon.

Maryse Dubois -> Sure. ::Walks over and starts looking over the data.:: Very nice. How long is your incubation period?

Fae -> +Tandaris+ Engineering? We've got a medical emergency and an order for 'best possible speed'. If there is anything you want to tell me about pushing the limits of the warp drive, now would be the time.

Rue Wydown -> I guess I get to deliever the bad news to the Captain that he's survey is on hold.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::in main security, flops down into her usual seat, pulling up the log and providing the appropriate entry::

Fae -> @ :: Looks at the distance to Caldor and the textbook limits on how far one can go how fast ::

Rue Wydown -> Why do I get to be the barer of black news? ::does the airquote thing::

Fae -> Because with great power comes great responsibility?

Major Cloud -> ACTION> Caldor is about 10 LY away.

Fae -> @ :: Notes how close Clador is, and figures the engines can take it ::

Cptn Swain -> (( That's about a 2-day trip at warp 9 ))

Fae -> @ :: Goes to 9.6 ::

Taryn Castell -> That depends on the results. I'm hoping for no more than two weeks, but it could easily be as long as a month. ::She squinted at the solution and glanced to her other experiment.:: The other is a full spectrum analysis of certain phenolic compounds in the malus domestica species that may help reduce the number of sickbay visits crewmembers need, especially as they grow older.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ((Engineering reports 105% on the reactor possible, but not recommended... ))

Rue Wydown -> ::stands and heads to the ready room door:: Or because someone else has to be the fall guy.

Ryan Mesner -> ::sends a message down security informing of the change in plans, and what intel they have on the Caldor system::

Rue Wydown -> ::rings the ready room chime, leaning against the bulkhead and waiting for permission to enter::

Cptn Swain -> ::Looks up:: Come.

Fae -> :: Looks at the drive status a bit longer.... drops to 9.5 ::

Rue Wydown -> ::pokes her head in first, then enters:: Wotcha Captain.

Ryan Mesner -> ::watching Fae play with the throttle::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Smirks.:: Hey now, we still need our jobs.

Major Cloud -> Good morning Rue.

Cptn Swain -> ^

Cptn Swain -> What can I do for you?

Cptn Swain -> ::motions for her to sit, straighing somewhat in his seat and putting the PADD he was reading down::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::sees the alert message, pulls it up, and reviews the information regarding the change in plans::

Fae -> OK. I think she'll hold together.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::purses her lips, pulling up what information is available in the databases::

Taryn Castell -> Ah, forgive me. I should be working on something to make people ill. Perhaps an stomach virus? We could randomly program those into the replicator patterns. I know a guy that knows a guy that worked a replicator once.

Fae -> :: Sends heads up to all departments giving a brief summary of the change in mission. ::

Rue Wydown -> We just recieved word from Camelot. They've changed our orders. There's a situation on Caldor that needs our attention. Something about "geological issues". ::does the air quote thing the admiral did because she finds it funny::

Cptn Swain -> ::He sighed::

Cptn Swain -> ::There had been certain bonuses to being a dedicated Science ship that he was going to miss.::

Cptn Swain -> Very well. I assume we're already enroute?

Fae -> :: Settles back. Wonders if 'geological' should be interpreted as 'geopolitical'. ::

Ryan Mesner -> ::relaxes slightly, reading over the database from his console::

Rue Wydown -> Aye, ETA approximately 2 days, if Tandy let's Waters push the warp drive. I expect a war to break out if'n either pushes too far.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::retrieving the information on the planet... class M, with high tectonic activity; sounds a bit like a cross between California and Hawaii::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::looks at the regions of activity, and wonders where the trouble location is::

Cptn Swain -> ::Nods::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::passes the information up to the bridge, to Mesner::

Cptn Swain -> Alright, let's get everyone prepped and ready then. Have medical get setup to handle anything thats thrown at them. We may even up running a mobile hospital. Have the fighter wing ready the Gwens and the shuttles to help provide aid around the planet. Then we'll need to get all the information we can about Caldor.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Laughs as she looks over the current data.:: Great job so far. Normally, new transfers don't start right away on a project, let alone two.

Rue Wydown -> Medical has been notified. Security is reviewing the packet of information about the planet to make sure we're not walking into some sort of disturbance of the civil nature.

Ryan Mesner -> ::glances over the data, mulling::

Cptn Swain -> ::Nods:: That would be about par for the course, I suspect.

Taryn Castell -> Mmm, we'll I guess I'm not like most new transfers. I have an entire file of experimental ideas and try to keep up on the latest developments from Starfleet Medical. You never know what we're going to happen upon out here and how something unconventional or untested might actually save lives.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::attempting to pull up political assessments::

Taryn Castell -> ::She tilted her head at the alerts coming through on her panel and lifted her data padd. Both of her eyebrows lifted.:: Well, so much for quiet, Doctor. You need to read this. ::Passes her the info on their mission to Caldor.::

Cptn Swain -> ::He sighed:: So much for the quiet little survey mission, eh?

Fae -> :: Keeps looking at the engines to make sure nothing is unduly stressed ::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::frowning over the political situation, noting the withdrawal of Dominion powers to a "self-determined" government... with the citizens still trying to decide what that means -- tribal or civilized::

Rue Wydown -> Who's to say the survey mission would have been quiet? ::smirks, standing:: If you'll excuse me, I've got a wee bit to get organized. Is there anything else, Captain?

Maryse Dubois -> ::Sighs as she begins reading the change of mission.:: Quiet never seems to fit in our time table...

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::passing along that information in a quick secondary report, uploading to Mesner at Tac::

Cptn Swain -> ::Shakes his head, standing:: Not that I know of...

Cptn Swain -> Keep me apprised of the situation, and let's have a senior staff meeting this afternoon to go over what we can get from Camelot on this planet.

Rue Wydown -> Aye, no problem, sir. ::nods::

Ryan Mesner -> ::raises a brow, looking over the second report::

Taryn Castell -> So... ::She leaned on the counter and clasped her hands together.:: Triage! Do you know how much I love converting cargo bays to triage units?

Maryse Dubois -> That's always the fun part. ::Smirks.:: Looks like we may get to use a couple of the support craft as well...

Cptn Swain -> ::Motions for her to follow him to the bridge::

Taryn Castell -> L-o-v-e it! It's like we can take over the ship and just rearrange whatever we want because we're saving lives. Oh, are they using the shuttles? That means planet-side medical treatment.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ((Taryn? Switch to decaf, hon... ;) ))

Maryse Dubois -> ((lol))

Rue Wydown -> ::following Swain, wondering what sort of chaos they're stepping into and hoping it will be a challenging sort::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods.:: Seems that way. Know anyone I could put in charge of setting up a triage unit? ::Devilish grin.::

Fae -> :: Glanses back briefly to see the brass reenter ::

Fae -> *glances

Cptn Swain -> This is a fairly isolated cluster of star systems, I am assuming we were the only starship in range, but why don't we also find out if anyone else is around just in case we need them. Perhaps one of the alien governments' ships?

Taryn Castell -> Mmmm... I shall have to think about that and consider carefully. ::She tapped one hand against her lips as if in thought and then that hand shot into the air.:: Oh! I know. Me! Yes, that will be an excellent way to jump in to the medical operations on this ship and get to know others.

Ryan Mesner -> Ooo, multilateral mission, alien babes.

Cptn Swain -> ::Pretends not to hear Mesner::

Cptn Swain -> ::Takes his seat::

Cptn Swain -> ::Wydown:: I am sure Tandaris will be heartbroken that he's done all that work on those probes for nothing.

Cptn Swain -> << Two minute warning >>

Fae -> :: Considers sending a warning message ahead to the alien babes. ::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::having done her good deed for the day -- uploading the info to her chief -- checks the time, and notes that she'd better get some food now, before they arrive, as time to do so later will likely be scarce::

Rue Wydown -> ::raises both brows at Mesner, trying to hide the grin that's threatening to cover her face before she sits down::

Rue Wydown -> Oh. Well. Um. I haven't told him there's been a change of plans yet. ::winces::

Cptn Swain -> I can do it, if you want.

Rue Wydown -> Maybe you should tell him? ::playing pass the buck:

Cptn Swain -> ::Smirks::

Cptn Swain -> I'll let him know in a little bit.

Fae -> I sent him a heads up already. No response.

Cptn Swain -> Likely hasn't read it yet.

Rue Wydown -> ::learned a long time ago not to get into trouble with Tandy, especially if she wanted hot water occassionally, or a working sonic shower::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Smirks.:: Good. Don't let the cargo ops crews give you any trouble. If you have any problems, see me.

Fae -> I would have thought he would have noticed Warp 9.5

Cptn Swain -> Maybe he thinks I have a lead foot? ::Smiles, twirling his ponytail::

Cptn Swain -> ...PAUSE SIM....

Fae -> :: Smiles ::

Cptn Swain -> ...PAUSE SIM....

Cptn Swain -> ...PAUSE SIM....

Fae -> :: paused ::

Cptn Swain -> Good stuff.

Cptn Swain -> So, you have ~choices~ to make.

Taryn Castell -> Like whether we can follow a captain that has a ponytail?

Cptn Swain -> We can either 1) spend another week in transit or 2) move right along and arrive at Caldor at the start of next week.

Cptn Swain -> Hey, Corizon had a ponytail for most of the time he was Captain.

Cptn Swain -> Though he also had the Janeway-ever-changing-hairstyle Syndrom.

Fae -> I'm ready to arrive. And Fae often has a ponytail too.

Taryn Castell -> I choose door number 2.

Taryn Castell -> Did I win a bunch of sick people?

Maryse Dubois -> lol

Cptn Swain -> LOL

Taryn Castell -> Because that's what I was hoping to win.

Rue Wydown -> Does everyone understand what we'll be doing?

Cptn Swain -> Alright, we'll move along to option 2. TBS will be two days.

Cptn Swain -> I'

Cptn Swain -> I've posted some information about Caldor on the boards.

Cptn Swain -> If you have questions, feel free to get in touch with me or Rue through email, IM or grab us in PM on the boards or in chat if you see us.

Tandaris Admiran -> Why not?

Cptn Swain -> Rue, you have anything else?

Tandaris Admiran -> Why not?

Rue Wydown -> Nothing else

Cptn Swain -> Alrighty then.

Cptn Swain -> If you'd be so kind as to dismiss them ;)

Rue Wydown -> G'night all!

Fae -> So formal.... :D

Charlotte Matsumura -> Night, folks!

Fae -> Night!
