USS Excalibur

[Rue Wydown 0]

Cptn Swain -> MISSION BRIEFING: The Excalibur continues en route to Domaria V, where the USS Augustine has been conducting a planetary survey, with the Excalibur to be courier to a mission specialist, Dr. Edward Svejk. The Augustine has not been in contact with anyone, though, for almost a month and has not responded to any hails from the Excalibur. Now less than six hours out, Excalibur has entered within the halo of long range sensors, finding the Augustine in a strange orbit with less power than normally expected.

Cptn Swain -> Questions?

Rue Wydown -> Do we have special parking on the bridge for the medical required cart I'm in?

Ryan Mesner -> Why are you in a Hot Wheels?

Rue Wydown -> Ask her ::jerks at thumb to Taryn::

Cptn Swain -> LOL Actually...

Taryn Castell -> Swain beats her.

Cptn Swain -> No. Your seat is on a raised platform.

Cptn Swain -> *had to go look*

Cptn Swain -> I guess we could move the chair out of tactical and move them to aux. tac...

Ryan Mesner -> Or, she could take tactical, and I could take her chair.

Ryan Mesner -> Yeah.

Cptn Swain -> Nice try.

T'Prehl -> lol.

Ryan Mesner -> This is the thanks I get

Ryan Mesner -> for giving up my chair

Fae -> I have two chairs, if anyone needs one.

Cptn Swain -> You're lucky to have a chair Ryan.

Cptn Swain -> Anyway...

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Fae -> :: At helm, heading in at warp 8. ::

T'Prehl -> ::analysing stuff::

Cptn Swain -> ::Frowning, glancing at the view screen.:: +Wydown+ Swain to Wydown...

Ryan Mesner -> ::firmly planted in his chair, going over sensor data::

Maryse Dubois -> ::In sickbay, wandering about from station to station.::

Ryan Mesner -> ::at tactical::

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ Whotcha, Captain.

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ You'd better get up here Commander, something about this ain't right.

Cptn Swain -> ::Glances over to their guest.::

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ On my way. ::sounding chipper::

Cptn Swain -> Status of our probe? Has it entered orbit itself yet?

T'Prehl -> The probe is just entering orbit now and taking initial scans.

Cptn Swain -> ::Nods:: Record everything.

T'Prehl -> ::nods:: Yes sir. ::records everything the probe scans::

Rue Wydown -> ::still humoring medical, but at the same time thinking that she can't take it up on the bridge, manages to park it in the lift....taking the key with her to make sure some wayward yeoman doesn't go joy riding in her ride::

Cptn Swain -> ::Makes his way back to the perch, glanced to Svejk:: Doctor, if there's anything about this mission you haven't told me, now would be an ideal time.

Taryn Castell -> ::Safely tucked away in medical, Taryn was bopping about on a sugar high as she made preparations for possible sick, injured, and needy.::

Rue Wydown -> ::hobbles onto the bridge::

Ryan Mesner -> ::glances towards Svejk, hoping for something juicy::

Karl A. Schultz -> :: enters the stellar cartography room

Edward Svejk -> What are you talking about? There's something wrong with their ship! That's your problem, not mine!

Maryse Dubois -> ::Watching Taryn bounce around.:: Been in the lollipop stash again?

T'Prehl -> ::keeps watch on her console, finding it impractical to glance at Svejk at this time::

Rue Wydown -> ::feeling like she's doing the bunny hop::

Cptn Swain -> ::Gives a very cold glanced towards Svejk:: As I said, if there's something about this mission that could endanger my crew, now is the time.

Karl A. Schultz -> :: steps up to the console and starts punching buttons.

T'Prehl -> ::looking at scans from the probe, scanning for the standard lifesigns, shield and engine readings, etc::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::in engineering, running several diagnostics in the event whatever happened to the Augustine is catching::

Taryn Castell -> Hmmm? No, I bring my own sugar, thank you. No need to deprive the patients of their only reason for coming to medical.

Edward Svejk -> Your crew?! What about the crew of the Augustine?

Rue Wydown -> (q)Must have missed something good. ::watching Swain and Svejk like she's watching a ping pong match::

Cptn Swain -> ::Tightly:: We will find out what is going on with the Augustine in due time, but if there something on this planet that could endanger my crew and my ship, I want to know. Now.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Smirks.:: I thought as much. ::Looking around the room.:: Everything is pretty well stocked. Make sure we have the full array of scanners ready. We still have no idea what we are dealing with.

Ryan Mesner -> ::from his position on the bridge, he didn't have the luxury of turning around to stare at the exchange, though he was pleased Swain had a backbone when it came to the safety of the ship::

Edward Svejk -> ::Turning away from Swain:: Well, if anyone can assuage your paranoia, they would be on that ship. Can't you contact them yet?

Cptn Swain -> ::This might have been better suited for the Ready Room, but Swain wasn't feeling particularly amicable at the moment.::

Cptn Swain -> ::He let it go, for the moment and looked over to Wydown:: Commander...

Rue Wydown -> Yes, Captain? ::feels like she should have brought popcorn to this show::

T'Prehl -> ::Looking up information on the Augustine::

Cptn Swain -> The Augustine... ::motions to the Screen::

Rue Wydown -> I can see that.

Cptn Swain -> I am not sure which has a stranger limp, you or it's orbit.

Cptn Swain -> ::Letting a little bit of levity into the situation.::

Taryn Castell -> We are prepared, yes, for most things. I hope it isn't something that we haven't come across before. Or children. I always hate having to patch up injured children.

T'Prehl -> There doesn't appear to be any damage to the Augustine that the probe can detect. As we surmised, power is at a minimum and the ship appears to be 'dead in the water' if I may use a human metaphor.

Taryn Castell -> They're greedy with the candy.

Rue Wydown -> Surely you jest. ::leans against the railing:: I'd win stranger, hands down. Now what's this about the ship's communications?

Cptn Swain -> ::Glances to T'Prehl:: Any signs of any other vessels having been in the system recently?

Ryan Mesner -> Which would explain the elliptical orbit.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Grins.:: Now now. It's polite to share.

Karl A. Schultz -> :: combing through the sensor data on the stellar cartography screen

Rue Wydown -> A wee bit wonky is it?

Cptn Swain -> ::Rue:: We've been sending out the standard hello's on the regular, nothing at all. ::Looks to Fae::

T'Prehl -> Not within the last 24 hours. This area doesn't seem be particularly well-travelled. But, civilian traffic does occasionally travel through.

Rue Wydown -> Whot about their systems? We scanned the ship to make sure all is working proper? ::raises a brow::

Ryan Mesner -> Probe's just got into orbit.

Ryan Mesner -> Though the orbit, while highly elliptical is stable...mostly.

Ryan Mesner -> So, whatever put them in this state happened a while ago.

Taryn Castell -> ::Sniffs.:: Polite, but not fun. So... ::Glances around.:: things seems fine here. Should we prepare for triage, just in case?

Cptn Swain -> ::Strokes at his beard:: Have we been able to detect if there's any biosigns?

Cptn Swain -> ::Almost afraid to hear the response::

T'Prehl -> ::checking the probe::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods.:: Typical deal. Get a cargo bay and have security posted as a precaution.

T'Prehl -> ::shakes head stoically:: I'm afraid to report that the probe does not pick up any bio-signals from the Augustine.

Cptn Swain -> ::Looks to Rue::

Edward Svejk -> They must be on the surface then! You said the systems were fine.

Rue Wydown -> A whole ship's crew? On the surface? At the same time? ::blinks:: Whot? Do they have an amusement park down there we're not aware of?

Ryan Mesner -> Can the probe detect if any escape pods have been launched?

Cptn Swain -> You'd also think they would have brought an emergency transmitter with them as well...

T'Prehl -> Indeed, it is logical to assume they would have least sent out an automated distress call, if that were the case.

Karl A. Schultz -> :: does routine stellar cartography work

Ryan Mesner -> Unless, what ever left the ship without power to send a distress call.

Cptn Swain -> Unless they didn't have time. ::Frowns:: I don't like this. Tactical... do you detect anything in orbit that could have disabled the ship?

Taryn Castell -> So, we've got plans in place, things well stocked, and now we get to play the waiting game. ::Sighs.:: That's the one thing I have never liked about this job.

Cptn Swain -> ::Rue:: Alert Tandaris and tell him to get an away team ready, medical and security too...

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods.:: I completely agree.

Rue Wydown -> Aye Captain. Suggest EVA suits just to be on the safe side.

Cptn Swain -> ::Nods:: Of course.

T'Prehl -> ::nods::

Ryan Mesner -> ::shakes his head:: Nothing in orbit besides the Augustine.

Cptn Swain -> ::Wydown:: I assume with your... injury, you're not up for this?

Cptn Swain -> ::Fae:: What's our current ETA?

Rue Wydown -> It's a luverly sprain. If medical will clear me, I'd be happy to go. Granted, they just stuck me on a rockin' cart to keep off my foot - so I'd either have to take that or do the bunny hop. Your call.

Fae -> Getting near 5 hours if we hold Warp 8.

Cptn Swain -> ::Shakes his head:: Mister Mesner should be fine to lead the away team.

Rue Wydown -> +Tandaris+ Bridge to Engineering.

Ryan Mesner -> ::confident thumbs up to Swain and Rue::

Tandaris Admiran -> +Wydown+ Engineering here. Have we learned anything interesting?

Cptn Swain -> Fae... lets hurry things along a little...Warp 8.5.

Fae -> 8.5, Aye.

T'Prehl -> ::looking at her console, still monitoring the probe::

Fae -> :: Destroys a little more antimatter ::

Cptn Swain -> ::Svejk:: I'd like you to work with our science team, I want to know as much about this planet as we can before we get there. Mister T'Prehl, if you'd be so kind.

Karl A. Schultz -> :: continues to do stellar cartography work

Taryn Castell -> ::She leaned against the counter, arms crossing over her chest.:: So what now? Have any interesting experiments running?

T'Prehl -> OF course, Captain.

Rue Wydown -> +Tandaris+ Ooooh, we have an adventure for you! Can you and a few members of your crew meet an away team for an exploratory mission to the Augustine?

Maryse Dubois -> ::Shakes head.:: Not at the moment. My current project is still in incubation period.

Tandaris Admiran -> +Wydown+ An away mission, you say? To a mysteriously abandoned Starfleet vessel, you say?

Rue Wydown -> ::grins at Mesner:: Any one else you'd like to accompany you, mate, besides Admiran and his team.

Tandaris Admiran -> +Wydown+ I'm on my way.

Ryan Mesner -> ::everyone else was busy, he leaned back into his chair, tapping his badge:: +Maryse+ Maryse, stop doctoring.

T'Prehl -> +Schultz+ If you're still in Stellar Cartography, I'd like you to start scanning the planet the Augustine is near, and get every bit of information you can on it/

Maryse Dubois -> ::Pauses for a moment.:: +Ryan+ Okay?

Rue Wydown -> +Tandaris+ Brillant good man! Mr Mesner will meet you in the transporter room momentarily.

T'Prehl -> All right, we'll get the probe to take some scans of the planet as well. ::re-directs the probe to scan the planet::

Cptn Swain -> ::Rue:: I am going to put together something for Camelot. ::Standing:: I'll be in my ready room. Let me know when we're in orbit.

Ryan Mesner -> +Maryse+ I need one of your doctors for a ghost ship walk on the Augustine.

Edward Svejk -> ::Paces behind T'Prehl, glancing over his shoulder::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Thinks, looking over at Taryn.:: +Ryan+ How about two?

T'Prehl -> ::watches the probe's feed and the initial scans that start to come in::

Cptn Swain -> ::Stops just short of her chair, and in a low voice:: The Captain of the Augustine is an old friend of mine... I'd prefer we find him alive somewhere. He was a wife... ::pauses:: and three young children.

Rue Wydown -> ::watching Edward go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth:: Miss your time at the gym? ::innocent comment::

Taryn Castell -> ::Arches eyebrow.:: A ghost ship?

Karl A. Schultz -> + T'Prehl + yes. right away... I'll focus my attention on the planet where the Augustine is

T'Prehl -> +Schultz+ Thank you, Mr. Schultz.

Rue Wydown -> ::pouts:: I miss all the fun. I like ghost hunting. ::pokes lip out::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Shrugs:: I imagine he means the Augustine? But why would it be a ghost ship?

Tandaris Admiran -> Luthor, White, with me.

Karl A. Schultz -> :: punches button to focus the screen on the planet which the Augustine is orbiting

Edward Svejk -> ::Stops and frowns at Rue before resuming:: Walking enough for both of us.

Cptn Swain -> ::Heads into his ready room to send a message to Camelot::

Rue Wydown -> Are you pregnant? ::blinks::

Taryn Castell -> ::Gets her medical kit and checks it for readiness.:

Cptn Swain -> ::Heads to the replicator and orders an herbal blend::

T'Prehl -> There is another seat at Science II if you wish to sit down.

Ryan Mesner -> (I love my router)

Edward Svejk -> ::Ignoring Rue:: Sit? How long will this take?

Ryan Mesner -> +Maryse+ I don't see why not, but two doctors for no lifesigns is a bit of overkill, eh?

Taryn Castell -> (( ::punches Ryan's router:: ))

T'Prehl -> The probe has only just started its scan. I calculate that the scan could take in excess of an hour, since it is only a single probe.

Maryse Dubois -> +Ryan+ We don't know what to expect. Two of us there might be beneficial.

Edward Svejk -> Send another probe then! ::Sits and crosses his arms::

Cptn Swain -> ::Takes his tea and walks towards the window of his ready room:: I hope you're safe Charlie. I really don't want to be the one to tell Tara you up and died out here in the middle of no where.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::arrives at the transporter room with engineering kits, Ensign White and Crewman Luthor at his heels::

Karl A. Schultz -> The planet which the Augustine orbits is an earth-sized M-class planet

Rue Wydown -> Time discovers truth. Mr Svejk, since you are a guest of our crew, I suggest you have a seat and let us do our work.

Ryan Mesner -> +Mayse+ Well, I suppose I could make some use for both of you... Besides, you both look so great in enviro-suits.

T'Prehl -> I can only send a probe if the Command team approves it.

T'Prehl -> ::matter of factly::

Ryan Mesner -> +Maryse+ Transporter room uh...2, I think.

Maryse Dubois -> +Ryan+ Besides, I imagine Tandaris is going? So yeah, you'll need all the medical you can get.

Edward Svejk -> ::Sighs loudly:: Red tape, always red tape...

Karl A. Schultz -> :: patches the probe data into the stellar cartography screen

Cptn Swain -> ::Takes a drink of his tea and then heads over to his console to begin working on the report to Camelot Station.::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Looks to Taryn.:: You heard him. Transporter room 2. ::Grabs her kit.::

Rue Wydown -> ::glancing at T'Prehl, waiting to see if the Vulcan would be annoyed with the Doctor or not before Rue acted::

Taryn Castell -> ::Waves her kit.:: Good to go, Chief.

Ryan Mesner -> ::calls up someone to relieve him, so that he can head down to security and assemble his team::

Karl A. Schultz -> detects somewhat unusual radiation belt for a planet it's size, but nothing dangerous.. Might make transporting to the surface tricky.

T'Prehl -> ::remains unperturbed by the Doctor's behavior::

Karl A. Schultz -> + T'Prehl + :: I am detecting some unusual radiation belt around planet... it might make transportation problematic

T'Prehl -> +Karl+ What type of unusual radiation?

Ryan Mesner -> ::lackey comes and sits at Tactical, as he makes his way to the turbolift::

T'Prehl -> I wonder if it emanates where the Augustine was travelling.

Rue Wydown -> ::turning her attention back to the view screen, grinning from ear to ear::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Smiles.:: Shall we? ::Steps out of sickbay, holding the door open.::

Taryn Castell -> ::Follows along, kit swinging, headed for the lift.::

Edward Svejk -> What's that mean? "Unusual radiation?" What kind of radiation? What's unusual about it?

Cptn Swain -> ...and...

T'Prehl -> That is what I am endeavoring to find out

Edward Svejk -> Well maybe if you had another probe...

Rue Wydown -> No, Mr Svejk

Ryan Mesner -> ::lets out a sigh of relief as the TL doors close, cutting Svejk's voice off::

Cptn Swain -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Swain -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Swain -> PAUSE SIM

Maryse Dubois -> ::paused::

T'Prehl -> ::Paused::

Karl A. Schultz -> * paused *

Fae -> :: paused ::

Rue Wydown -> :D

Edward Svejk -> *Schnozed*

Cptn Swain -> Good work all.

Edward Svejk -> Always room for improvement

Cptn Swain -> :P

Cptn Swain -> Rue, PM

Rue Wydown -> ::getting out the nerf bat::

Cptn Swain -> TBS will be long enough to get us into orbit and ready to beam the AT over to begin exploring the Ghost Ship...

Cptn Swain -> Questions before I let Rue bat you all out of here?

Fae -> Are you sure Rue grabbed the correct bat?

Cptn Swain -> lol

Rue Wydown -> ::looking it over:: Is it supposed to say Louisville Slugger on it?

Cptn Swain -> Heh. I guess not. Anything from you then Rue?

Rue Wydown -> Nothing here.

Cptn Swain -> ...before you bat them...

Rue Wydown -> G'night folks :)

Fae -> :: runs ::

Ryan Mesner -> Night everyone

Cptn Swain -> Night
