USS Republic Simlog 06Feb2012

[STSF_BluRox 0]

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic 06Feb2012 Currently the Republic has crewmembers on two different away teams, stranded on two different planetoids that share the same orbit around a small dwarf star. Named Heigan and Gothik, the planets remain equidistant from one another, maintaining the only the same orbit, but speed and gravitational pull as each other. It was noted that there was difficulty when beaming them down, getting them to rematerialize, and later noted, that a shuttle would crash (based upon test done with various probes). A lose of power such as one would see with an EMP burst is suspected. Meanwhile, on Heigan, Will's team has been assisted by several stranded explorers from Heigan 'and' Gothik, living peacefully together and cooperating with each other to survive. Led by Cpt Frekla, Will and team are out of the storms way and safe. However, a new storm is a brewing, as several of the women have taken a like for Will. On Gothik, Jax's team has been approached by a group of Goths, with not quite hostile intents.

August Jax Robinson -> @ lets head that way, either it is a polar thing, or whatever is causing this damping field

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::was almost getting molested by some strange women::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() How long have you folks been down here?

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::helping out in the kitchen, making some type of fish meal::

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() :: standing back watching Will::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Woman 3 ::hops on Will's lap:: Too long, without you gorgeous.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() So, is this fish local to these waters? I'm curious on how it tastes.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::eases her back off his lap:: Excuse me, but I am married. Almost happily.

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() :: moves back towards the kitchen with Ayumu::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Woman> ::looks to Eng:: Hey, if you want to help, can you gut that large fish on the table?

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Woman 3> That's ok, I won't hold that against ya

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Woman> We caught it just before the storm clouds started to gather

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla> Becka....get off of him.....go help with dinner

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Woman 3> That's no fun! Come on, he's new!

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() :: looks to the other woman:: storm clouds make a difference in the catch?

Jameson Bardolph -> @We're gathering information. ::dryly:: The more you can tell us, the faster we get past this stage.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::looks to Eng:: I'm cooking up this fish fillet. I'd like to try ti serve them sushi, but I don't know if that'd suit their pallets

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() It does take some getting used to.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Other Woman> Well, the fish won't bite in choppy seas, and it's a lot harder to fish. Plus, we would like to avoid getting wet.

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() ::nods:: Understandable

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Woman> ::nods:: You've fished before?

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF>Why? You show no other skills except to dabble in.....::squints her eyes, watching the cobbled together thing Heather has:: arts and crafts.

Heather Jamieson -> @ "I'll remove the magnet and reassemble once we have walked a

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF>You're playing with magnetics. ::smirks::

August Jax Robinson -> @ ::suddenly understands why Will shoots everyone::

Jameson Bardolph -> @to HF> ::raises an eyebrow:: We're giving it a shot. What's the joke?

Heather Jamieson -> @ :: to Jax :: "Seems these people just gave up trying some time ago." :: says as she walks alongside ::

August Jax Robinson -> @ do you think this damping is natural?

Heather Jamieson -> @ "If I was a gambler I'd say no. Nothing that I know of planetary dynamics says this should happen, but it's a big galaxy."

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF>Perhaps.

Jameson Bardolph -> @HF> Meaning what?

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF>Meaning that is the only answer I have for your friend. I do not understand why it would be important to our survival.

Jameson Bardolph -> @HF> If it's not natural, then there's something we can turn off. ::Matter-of-factly::

August Jax Robinson -> @ ::Sighs::

 

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() Yes back at home. would spend a weekend in the woods by the lake.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla ::turns to Tory:: So you are an engineer? Any way you can use some of our electrical stuff, to contact this ship of yours!?

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Other Woman> Same here. I used to live by the ocean and was taught to fish by my elders.

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> I'm a physicist... not an engineer. Though, theoretically, it's all physics. ::wry grin::

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() I guess you could say I was also taught by elders. My grandparents

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Other Woman> Hmm. ::nods in acknowledgement

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() We left the smartest engineer in the fleet on the other planet...

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla ::Grins back at her:: Engineer, physics.....both tell me you're a smart woman...and may be able to help us get out of this

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::nods, cautious:: I might could pull something together.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla ::looks back over at the women hitting on Will:: Unlike half of my crew

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::smirks:: It would appear that hormones might have gotten the better of their higher brain functions.

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() ::to the other woman:: How often do the storm clouds come in?

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::finishes de-boning the fillets and passes them over to a young man who flipped them onto the grill::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Other Woman> Oh, quite frequently. Every few days at least.

 

 

Jameson Bardolph -> @HF> Either way, the more we learn about what's causing this, the easier it'll be to find a way around it.

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF>::shakes her head:: Then it is not mechanical. We have not found any machinery that would cause this effect. Of course, no machinery works.

Heather Jamieson -> @ :: to August :: "I just hope that whatever may be causing this is not hundreds of kilometers away."

August Jax Robinson -> @ or under ground

Jameson Bardolph -> @HF> Not to be rude -- I promise, honest curiosity -- but how do you know? What have you used to search?

Heather Jamieson -> @ "Or it's a tunnel underground for hundreds of kilometers.."

Heather Jamieson -> @ "Commander, are we to proceed in this," :: points :: "direction as indicated by the compass?"

August Jax Robinson -> @ yeah, it's what we have right now. unless you can think of something else

 

 

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() So this is normal ? How long do they last?

Ayumu Kasuga -> !!@#$%^&*() Other Woman> It's normal, yes. As for how long they last, I am not entirely certain. These storms are unpredictable and can range in duration from a few minutes to a few hours, or more.

STSF_BluRox -> (last week's chatlog said storms every 3 days)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Ok.. cool)

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() Every 3 days. What the longest they have lasted?

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::looks to the captain:: You do have some operational equipment, then?

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla > Gotta bunch of stuff from the remains of 3 of our cockpits, Have it stored in those chests over there. None of our people could cobble something out of them to contact anyone, but our world is too far to reach anyway

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Other WOman> Hmm, I don't know. Sorry. Most of the times, I sit out the storms in here. You can always ask Captain Frekla or one of the others.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Other Woman> ::an older lady and not as active as the others::

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() Please do. It might lead to what could cause these

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla> ::goes and opens some of the chests, pulling out some communications panels

 

 

STSF_BluRox -> # +Kwai+ I see you're aboard, please report to the bridge

Capt Rian Kwai -> +Blu+ I'm on my way now. Give me a few moments.

 

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla> What we don't have, is a source of power to fire tehm up with

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::looks up as a rumble rolls across the sky::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::a grin slowly spreads across her features::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::leaves the kitchen and re-joins the others:: Dinner should be ready soon. ::looking at the Captain and the others and takes a seat::

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() :: hears the rumbilng as following Ayumu:: Another storm upcoming??

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Looks out:: Maybe. But then, I'm no meteorologist.

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::looks down into the chest to see what types of conductive materials they might have::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Sits down beside Tory::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla > :: looks at Tory:: Oh girl...if you're thinking what I think you're thinking! Why didnt' we think of that sooner!! ::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla ::turns to Will:: Your officer here, she's quite brilliant

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF> I can't believe I'm standing here still talking to these strangers when I have mouths to feed and people to care for. ::turns her back on them, staring to walk off, pausing:: If there is information you want, then perhaps your comrades will focus on the problem at hand isntead of playing with their toys.

Heather Jamieson -> @ "No I don't have any other ideas at the moment." :: turns :: "Barcode? You with us?"

Jameson Bardolph -> @HF> ::scoots around her to stay in her line of sight, tries a faint smile:: Look -- I don't blame you for not knowing what to make of us. We didn't make a graceful entrance or introduction...

August Jax Robinson -> @ Which problem is that Ma'am

Jameson Bardolph -> @::trails off, hearing Heather, jarred out of his latest diplomatic attempt:: What? With you where?

Heather Jamieson -> @ "The Commander and myself are proceeding in the direction of the highest magnetic force."

 

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> Well, my grandmother always insisted we were related to Ambassador Franklin....

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::nods:: Seems that way.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::smiles::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::pulls up a comm panel, and some various older-fashioned circuitry::

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() ::moves over to Tory and looks into the chest:: What did you find?

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() But lets see if it works before we get the good wine out.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Looking at the circuitry of device, points:: Is that a capacitor?

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::and pulls off a couple of resistors, begins plugging them into the comm panel::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::nods ,looking to Kasuga:: ::pulling it and placing it onto the comm panel, replacing the fried ones::

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() ::to Tory:: need a hand?

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: !@#$%^&*()> This storm is still in progress

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::watches Tory poke at the device's innards::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::looks to the engineer:: Slip this outside, but mind the cable. ::plugs a conductive cable into the lightning collector, then passes it to the engineer::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::making the final modifications to the comm panel::

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() ::takes the unit and takes it outside being mindful and not tugging on the cable to hard::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> And now we wait for lightning to strike...

!@#$%^&*()> ACTION> Lightning bolt strikes really close to Kbear....

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() :: ducks and places unit on top of a piece of equipment:::: secures is best she can and begins the retreat back to the building::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla :: GET back in here fool woman

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Tory:: Looks like we didn't have to wait too long

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> Well, it has yet to strike the collection device. That might take a moment...or twelve.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla > ::turns to Ayumu:: Wait for what?

KBear -> Eng) !@#$%^&*() ::: ducking low rushing back into the building:: That was close.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() I'm no engineer, but it seems like that is going to be way too much juice.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Frekla:: For lightning. I just saw a big flash outside

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Cpt Frekla > Why didn't you just slip it out the door?

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF>::gives woman a dark look, waiting for the man to answer::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF>How will that help you survive?

August Jax Robinson -> @ ::Looking at the Hooded Women, waiting for an answer::

ACTION> @ The magnetic readings keep randomly changing

August Jax Robinson -> @ ::makes a face at the ground, annoyed at everything::

Heather Jamieson -> @ :: Assembles the compass again :: "Commander, my results are not consistent, look.."

August Jax Robinson -> @ well... it could be worse

Jameson Bardolph -> @HF> ::quietly:: We're not looking at just surviving right now. We're inclined to have a look about, figure out what got us stuck here before we settle in.

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF>Which one of you is the leader of this....:motions to the group::...cluster.

August Jax Robinson -> @ I am in charge

August Jax Robinson -> @ I am Commander August Jax

Heather Jamieson -> @ :: Looks at the erratic compass spinning around, sighs ::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::nods silently, hooking his hands behind his back as Jax answers::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF>So you have a name. Interesting.

August Jax Robinson -> @ may I have your name?

Heather Jamieson -> @ :: Gives the Hooded Figure a puzzled look then turns to watch the Commander ::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::low, mildly self-deprecating chuckle at HF's response::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @HF>Sorcha of Sabhal. Leader of the Gothik Flyers, Harscar Squad. ::gives a salute by thumping her fist against her chest::

 

 

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::prepping the panel, knowing she won't have long to transmit once the power has been sent to the capacitors::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^() THen we can get the 1.21 giggawatts of power we need to activate the fusion reactor in the Delorean... oh wait... wrong device

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::smirks:: No flux capacitor here. I don't do time travel.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() You are probably just gonna fry everything.

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::mutters to self:: ...sweetie...

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*()> ::looks to Will:: And you have better ideas?

 

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Rian, we've got to figure some way to get them back up. You saw what the transporter did, I don’t think I want to trust the crew to it ::annoyed with self for stating the obvious, but it needed to be said::

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, quick point of business. I've been woefully lacking in presenting someone's promotion. They weren't here one night, and then it slipped my mind. However, with Blu's head injury condition today seems just like 6 months ago...So it's all new to me now!! So, without further delay, and before I forget again.....Tory, would you please step forward.....

 

Tory Knight -> ::blinks, steps forward::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((growls))

 

STSF_BluRox -> Tory, it is with great pleasure that I promote you to the rank of full Lieutenant.

I think we owe you about 6 month pay

 

Jameson Bardolph -> Congrats! :)

Ayumu Kasuga -> Congrats Tory! :D

Heather Jamieson -> Grats

August Jax Robinson -> ::Clapps::

 

Tory Knight -> ::bows her head to Blu:: Thank you, Admiral.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::passes over the box::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Zaps Troy with Pain stick::

August Jax Robinson -> *Tory

 

STSF_BluRox -> One other quick matter that goes along with that....in light of the fact that our CSci has taken a leave of absence. I would like to have you take the post of Acting CSci for now, if you think you're up to the task?

 

Tory Knight -> I... ::pauses, nods with more conviction:: I am.

LtCmdrRobinson -> she hesitated....

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, job's yours....

Ayumu Kasuga -> Congrats, I think

STSF_BluRox -> and with that......it's bed time! So..Crew dismissed
