USS Excalibur - August 12 2012

[Rue Wydown 0]

Cptn Swain -> MISSION BRIEF: The Excalibur remains in orbit of Domaria V. Security has begun planning a demo solution on the Augustine, while science continues their research into the creatures. Meanwhile, Tandaris has begun to analyze the logs brought back from the Dominion base.

Cptn Swain -> Questions?

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::sitting on hands::

Cptn Swain -> Hmm?

Cptn Swain -> Alrighty, let get going then.

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Fae -> :: At Hops, primarily keeping an eye out for cloaked BoPs. ::

T'Prehl -> ::at her console, analyzing things::

T'Prehl -> ::decides to head down to the lab and complete her research there::

T'Prehl -> ::hands over the science console to one of her lackeys and heads to the lift::

Cptn Swain -> ::In his ready room, looking at the window to Augustine::

Tandaris Admiran -> :: reading a log with intense interest:: Huh.

Edward Svejk -> ::Stops and glances at his replicator:: Ah... no, no. Ah...

Edward Svejk -> ::Paces for a moment before bee lining to the replicator::

Cptn Swain -> ::Sighing, he tapped his commbadge:: +Mesner+ Swain to Mesner...

Tandaris Admiran -> :: stands up::

Ryan Mesner -> ::Ryan was in his washroom, trimming his beard, and performing the other steps needed to keep him from looking like a disheveled bum. He was already late for Charlotte, but this could wait no longer::

Tandaris Admiran -> :: sits down again::

Ryan Mesner -> ::taps the badge sitting on the counter:: +Swain+ Mesner here.

Rue Wydown -> ::flittering around goopy messes of samples::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::in main security, waiting for Mesner, as she has to 'call-in'::

T'Prehl -> ::arriving at the science lab, and logs in::

Ryan Mesner -> ::takes a moment to make a few flexes in the mirror while he waits for Swain::

Cptn Swain -> +Mesner+ I'd like for the preliminary report on the demo solution by 1600. I'd like to move this along as reasonably fast as possible.

Tandaris Admiran -> But if ... no. Yet....

Cptn Swain -> to be in by*

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::having already prepped her explosive plan, and requisitioned the appropriate supplies::

Edward Svejk -> ::Arranges his slimy meal and 'utensils' at his desk and violently tears into the poorly replicated tripe::

Cptn Swain -> ::He moved away from the window and the Augustine and towards his desk.::

Ryan Mesner -> @+Swain+ Understood. I have a few "rough sketches" done, but to be honest, Matsumura is the demolitions whiz. We'll have something on your desk by 1600.

Taryn Castell -> ::Checking on the status of her patients, who were just about healed. After updating their files, she tucked her padd in her pocket and bopped out of medical, heading for the lift.::

Cptn Swain -> +Mesner+ Good.

Cptn Swain -> +Mesner+ Swain out.

Edward Svejk -> ::Stops, rises from his desk, paces, and nervously approaches his door::

Tandaris Admiran -> :: sighs, gets up, and goes to the ready room door::

T'Prehl -> ::takes a sample of the creature's blood and puts it under a microscope::

Ryan Mesner -> ::browsing over his plethora of colognes with furrowed brow:: +Charlotte+ Mesner to Matsumura.

Edward Svejk -> Ahem! Ah... ::glances around the security personnel arrayed outside:: is... did she leave already? Wydown? Ah, could you... you see, he took my... well... could you extend my gratitude?! ::ducks back into his quarters before he can be questioned::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::takes a deep breath, then hits the chime::

Charlotte Matsumura -> +Mesner+ Matsumura here. Go ahead, Chief.

Cptn Swain -> ::Looks to the door:: Enter.

Tandaris Admiran -> :: walks into the room, visibly excited--and agitated::

Edward Svejk -> ::Goes to replicator again, ordering a scalding hot tea:: Aaaaah...

Rue Wydown -> ((I think Eddy is losing his mind))

Ryan Mesner -> +Charlotte+ Where are you? I'm running late, and if I step foot in security soon, someone is getting shot. ::debates:: Come to my quarters, we can draw up the plans here.

Edward Svejk -> ::Carefully sits at his desk before taking several deep breaths and pouring the beverage on his left hand and screaming::

Cptn Swain -> ::He didn't know what to expected, these days, from his Chief Engineer::

Cptn Swain -> What can I do for you, Commander?

Charlotte Matsumura -> +Mesner+ ::chuckles:: And if I don't get out of here soon, someone is getting shot. I'll be there as soon as possible.

Rue Wydown -> ::putting up her samples, locking the case:: T'Prehl, I need a bit of a break. Back in two ticks?

Tandaris Admiran -> I've found something.

T'Prehl -> Very well...

Edward Svejk -> ::gets up, pushing over his chair, and runs to the door, stopping to check if his hand looked bad enough::

T'Prehl -> ::nods at acknowledgement to Rue::

Ryan Mesner -> ::smirks:: +Charlotte+ Doors open. Mesner out.

Edward Svejk -> ::as the doors open:: Tha-that creature's digestive... oh why am I bothering?! It hurts! It hurts!

Rue Wydown -> Do you need anything?

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::stands, loads the plans onto a PADD::

Cptn Swain -> ::Lifts a brow:: What did you find?

Edward Svejk -> ::as they push him back inside his quarters:: Oh come ON! Call someone! This is inhuman!

T'Prehl -> I do not, thank you

Taryn Castell -> ::Bops into the mess hall, entirely too perky, but she'd gotten into the caffeinated jelly beans and they were working their magic.::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::makes a log entry, noting the change of watch, then heads out of main security::

Tandaris Admiran -> Genetic engineering wasn't all the Dominion was up to down there. They have an entire medical technology wing.

Rue Wydown -> ::wipes her hands off on her uniform, while they are all ready steril, she just *felt* better by doing it and heads down the corridor::

Cptn Swain -> ::Leans back onto his desk:: Not all that surprising, considering.

LTJG King> ::outside of Svejk's quarters:: Pipe down, Eddie. You're under orders to stay put. Now either ya stay put, or I'm gonna have to drag out the heavier artillery. And you ain't gonna like that.

Ryan Mesner -> ::humming some familiar toon as he picks out a uniform::

LTJG King> ::folding her arms across her chest, feet shoulder width apart, regarding Svejk with pursed lips and a scowl::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::stepping out of the lift, and headed for the chief's quarters::

Cptn Swain -> ::Admiran:: I assume though you found something else in the logs?

Edward Svejk -> I... you don't understand! Please, just... ::fakes a grimace and groan of pain:: please tell the Captain what's become of me...

Tandaris Admiran -> One item in particular caught my eye. They were studying Scorpiad stasis technology. They had several pods retrieved from wreckage.

LTJG King> The captain already knows what became of you. ::arching a brow::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::pressing the chime to Mesner's quarters::

Cptn Swain -> ::Gives him 'the look'::

Tandaris Admiran -> One of them, according to the logs, is occupied ... by a Scorpiad lifesign.

Edward Svejk -> Th-those creatures! I have to waaaaarn him! ::falls to his knees::

LTJG King> ::not looking impressed::

Ryan Mesner -> Ahhh...::glance down at his half assembled uniform:: Come in!

T'Prehl -> ::taps at her console, and jots down some ntoes on her PADD::

Edward Svejk -> ::Fully collapses on the floor of his room, attempting to stay very still::

LTJG King> We've already got a pretty good idea what the frell is down there. So you can stop the melodramatic bull.

Ens Robinson>::glances to King:: What do you think he's on?

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::the doors part and Lottie enters::

Cptn Swain -> A Scorpiad lifesign?

LTJG King> I'm not sure, but if he were a dog back home, we'd've shot him already.

Cptn Swain -> Can we confirm that its still there?

Cptn Swain -> (( If he starts frothing at the mouth ... ))

Ryan Mesner -> ::pokes his head out of his bedroom door to Charlotte:: Hey, hi, hi. Uh...You should stay there for a moment. Or take a look at my sketches on the coffee table.

Ryan Mesner -> But don't come over here.

Ryan Mesner -> No.

Charlotte Matsumura -> (( Like Old Yeller... without the sympathy tears ))

Rue Wydown -> ::enters the messhall and orders a caffeinated beverage::

Cptn Swain -> (( LOL ))

Taryn Castell -> (( Put something in his mouth so he doesn't bite off his tongue. ))

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::notes his bare shoulders, clears her throat, turning her back, and going over to the coffee table, careful to keep her attention forward::

Charlotte Matsumura -> I...brought my demolition plans. I thought you might want to take a look.

Taryn Castell -> ::Spots the Commander. Smiles and waves.:: Hello, Commander. I thought you were hidden away in Science. ::Sipping on something blue.::

Tandaris Admiran -> Yes. The automated logs are functioning. The pod is stable.

Cptn Swain -> Damn.

Cptn Swain -> That's the find of the year.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::picking up the PADD from the coffee table and powering it up to look at the file::

Rue Wydown -> Whotcha Doctor. ::sipping her drink:: Don't tell, but I escaped the loony bin.

Tandaris Admiran -> You're telling me.

Ryan Mesner -> ::the rustle of clothing could be heard:: Good. It does say demolitions expert on your file. Which Garrison struck out and edited to savant.

Edward Svejk -> ::sneezes:: Auugh... ::lifts himself off of the floor:: Yes, yes just as I suspected, the creature's digestive fluids contain a mild hallucinogen! Please alert... uh...

Ryan Mesner -> ::walks out, buttoning up his uniform:: He seemed a good judge of character, so don't make me a bad judge of judge of character.

LTJG King> ::looking to Robinson, arching a brow::

Cptn Swain -> ::Frowns:: I don't know what we can do about that though.

LTJG King> ::silently asking a question with the arched brow::

Taryn Castell -> Congratulations. ::Beams.:: I'll give you a ten minute head start before getting out the dart gun to inject you with sedatives and haul you back. How did you get out of the straight jacket? Dislocated shoulder? Yea, I know that trick.

Rue Wydown -> Jedi Mind Trick. ::sips again:: Works every time.

Ens Robinson> ::frowns:: And exactly when, Mr. Svejk, did you become exposed to their digestive fluids?

Tandaris Admiran -> :: starts:: We have to go get it.

Cptn Swain -> ::Lifts a brow:: I don't see how or why. In case you've forgotten, somehow, there's creatures down there that like to sunbathe in phaser fire.

Cptn Swain -> Not only that, but I'll let you be the one to tell Mesner he has to put people on the line for a Scorpiad stasis pod.

LTJG King> Maybe he pulled a Tommy Lee Jones and made one of them eat him. Which would make sense, since I've been led to believe the doc here ain't worth a pile of sh... ::clears her throat::

Edward Svejk -> ::Looks shocked:: Why... the sample I had brought to me!

Rue Wydown -> How's our patients doing? ::crossing her arms all casual like, playing with her cup::

T'Prehl -> Hmm. ::reviewing the creatures' DNA structure::

LTJG King> Look, Eddie: You either go quietly back into your quarters, or I'm going to stun you, and you'll have plenty of time to sleep off the effects.

Tandaris Admiran -> This wing is in much better shape, which suggests it isn't heavily infested. And I know exactly where it is. We can be in and out in an hour. The creatures won't even know we're there.

Taryn Castell -> They are still sedated, but just about healed. Their burns have mostly been regenerated. We should be pulling them from under in a few hours. I'm not sure what psychological trauma they might have to handle, but that's not my department. They can go be crazy somewhere else.

Cptn Swain -> ::He put his hands over his mouth and considered for a very long moment::

Ens Robinson> Mesner did say that we could do whatever we wanted, as long as we didn't kill him.

Charlotte Matsumura -> (( What do you mean 'we', paleface? ))

Ens Robinson> or damage him...permanently.

LTJG King> ::pulling out her phaser and adjusting the stun setting:: Won't even leave a mark.

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ Swain to Wydown..

Rue Wydown -> You think there might be additional psychological trauma? :pauses:: Wellllll more than one could obtain from serving on this ship?

T'Prehl -> ::searches for similar DNA structures to compare it with::

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ Aye, Captain. This is Wydown, go ahead.

Edward Svejk -> ::grumbles and limps back to his desk, turning his back on the two::

Ryan Mesner -> ::looking over Charlottes diagrams, while she looks over his. After a few seconds, he decided that hers had a lot less large question marks and explosions drawn on them::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::amused by his drawings, noting the mushroom cloud animation on the final screen::

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ What would you say if I told you Admiran had found a working stasis pod in a secondary wing of the base on the planet that contains a Scorpiad?

LTJG King> ::satisfied, returns to her post::

Ens Robinson>::glances to King, whispering:: Look, lets just lock the door from the outside, and tell medical to monitor his vitals through the internal sensors. You know if you shoot him, Mesner will make us fill out all the paperwork.

Taryn Castell -> ::Cocks her head like a puppy, listening to Swain's comm.::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::raises brows:: Well, does it pass muster? ::wry grin::

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ It depends. Is this is a secure channel? Or are you on the bridge for all to hear?

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ Secure. I am in my Ready Room with Tandaris.

LTJG King> ::holsters her phaser:: ::disappointed::

Ryan Mesner -> Absolutely, if only because you're has actual math on it. Like, with numbers.

LTJG King> +Medical+ King to Medical.

Charlotte Matsumura -> That is the generally accepted format, yes.

Edward Svejk -> ::Grimly eats the tripe::

Edward Svejk -> ::Remembers something and begins walking towards the door::

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ So, found a stasis pod....annnnnnd? ::waiting for the punch line::

Taryn Castell -> ::Delighted to get a comm of her own, though a bit peeved that she'd forgotten to reroute emergency communications to some other sucker.:: +King+ Medical here, go ahead.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::grins:: Basically, the smaller explosions would set off a chain of events, making the most of the environment, and leaving little debris in its wake.

Tandaris Admiran -> :: interjects:: It's been functioning for over 2 centuries

LTJG King> +Taryn+ Could you please monitor lifesigns for our... guest? He's claiming some issues, but I ain't so sure.

Rue Wydown -> ::waves regretfully at Castell, figuring she'd better head back up to the bridge to find out what trouble Swain was up to::

Ryan Mesner -> Good. I want this ship pulverized. I watch Edward to see the Augustine out the window one moment, and space dust the next.

LTJG King> +Taryn+ He's acting more melodramatic than a bad space opera.

Ens Robinson>+Taryn+ ::jumps on the line:: Yeah! Scan him for drugs!

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ It has a live Scorpiad in it ... and its been there for over 200 years.

Edward Svejk -> ::Presses ear against his door but cannot make out anything::

LTJG King> ::waves off Robinson, smirking::

Ens Robinson>+Taryn+ He claims he's hallucinating of the creatures digestive acids or something.

Charlotte Matsumura -> I'm rather partial to that image, too.

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ And?

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ You think we should just leave it in stasis?

T'Prehl -> ::not surprisingly, finds nothing of real comparison. Shrugs and continues on with her research::

Charlotte Matsumura -> Though I think I'd prefer if Edward were *aboard* at detonation, but, as the man says, we can't always get what we want.

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ Well, it's been there for 200 years, why would we poke a stick at it now? I'm not going willing to break quarantine *again* to monkey with a stasis unit that may or may not be viable.

Ryan Mesner -> Ain't that the truth. ::he smirked slyly at her for a moment:: So. I'm thinking, we take your plan, and just like...double the explosives.

Taryn Castell -> +King+ Well, that certainly is possible. He has been exposed to the samples we brought up from the planet and we do not fully know their effects. Do I need to come examine him? Is he acting delusional or crazed? Has he developed a mysterious rash?

Ryan Mesner -> ::he stood, making his way to the replicator:: Coffee, black. ::turned to Charlotte:: Anything?

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::shakes her head:: None for me, thanks. I'll have tea after we finish here.

Taryn Castell -> +King+ Because one of those was going around a while back.

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+I tend to agree, however if there's a way to bring it back up without breaking quarantine?

Cptn Swain -> ::Looks at Admiran::

LTJG King> +Taryn+ I think that would require contact with someone in the crew... and I seriously doubt anyone would be interested in him in *that* way.

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ Exactly how do you think you could pull *that* rabbit out of your hat? ::raises a brow as she enters the lift::

Edward Svejk -> ::Rubs his slightly scalded arm and stands at the replicator for quite some time::

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ I was going to let Admiran try to solve that.

Ens Robinson> I've got a slip of latinum says he's doing for attention.

LTJG King> +Taryn+ I'd just say watch and wait. If his signs go into arrest, then plan on acting.

Tandaris Admiran -> We can get past the dampening field...

Tandaris Admiran -> But it'll cost us the Augustine.

LTJG King> ::glancing to Robinson:: ::shakes her head:: ::mouths "No takers"::

Cptn Swain -> ::Looks at Admiran:: We're going to blow it up anyway.

Taryn Castell -> +King+ So noted. We'll be sure to monitor him remotely, unless you think he needs to be sedated. Is he a danger to himself or others? Has he tried to stab you with any sharp objects?

Tandaris Admiran -> :: smiles:: That will work nicely.

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ So if he does some how accomplish this task, you really want to expose the crew to an unknown entity?

Tandaris Admiran -> please. :: both of them:: I can do this. I need to do this. That team on the Augustine ... some people died because of me. The crew of the Augustine is probably dead. We can't let those deaths be for nothing.

LTJG King> +Taryn+ No sharp pointies, thankfully. If he continues, I may just have ta sedate him myself...

Cptn Swain -> ::Swain continued holding hand over his face, biting his lip. He was a terrible poker player, because he so obviously showed when he was unsure of his course of action.::

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ I'll take that to mean you don't.

Ryan Mesner -> ::sips his coffee, observing Matsumura::

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ Well, duh. ::blinks:: You do?

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::purses her lips, pulling up her plans, making a few changes::

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ No, I do. I wanted your opinion to confirm.

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ Why do you think I made the away team go down in EVA suits in the first place?

Taryn Castell -> +King+ If you need to, that is certainly understandable. Keep me informed of any odd behavior. I'll bop back down to medical and gather some scans. Incidentally, you'll be scanned as well, so I'll let you know if sensors turn up anything interesting. Someone's appendix might be waiting to explode as we speak. Random scans are always a good idea.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::takes Mesner's suggestion under advisement and then hands him the PADD:: Better? ::wry grin::

Tandaris Admiran -> :: thoroughly confused::

LTJG King> +Taryn+ Yeah, well, if he decides to cut my heart out with a spoon, you'll be the first to know.

Cptn Swain -> ::He looked at Tandaris:: I am sorry Commander, but as ... phenomenal ... as it is. I can't risk any more lives going down there. Even for this.

Taryn Castell -> ::Secretly hopes for emergency surgeries.::

Cptn Swain -> ...and...

Ryan Mesner -> ::looks it over, nodding:: Swain wants a preliminary report on his desk by 1600, so that gives us some time to refine, or just waste.

Ryan Mesner -> I vote for the second one.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::chuckles:: Certainly has my vote as well. Until we're no longer stuck on high center, there's really not much *to* do.

Tandaris Admiran -> :: nods:: ok. Fine. I'll do it. I'll go by myself.

Cptn Swain -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Swain -> PAUSE SIM

Rue Wydown -> Edward, how long were you planning on staring at that replicator?

Edward Svejk -> I fell asleep gazing at it

Rue Wydown -> I know those sparking lights are hypnotic

Cptn Swain -> Good work all.

Cptn Swain -> Once again I remain amazed and impressed by the restraint of our Security team.

Charlotte Matsumura -> Try us again next week and see what happens.

Cptn Swain -> Questions?

Ryan Mesner -> I'm building up good will that I can burn down at a later date.

Cptn Swain -> If there be na questions, TBS will be 5-6 hrs or long enough for fireworks on Augustine to be ready to go.

Cptn Swain -> Nothing more from me, anything from you Rue?

Rue Wydown -> Nothing from me.

Ryan Mesner -> Alright, if there's nothing out I'll be off.

Ryan Mesner -> else*

Cptn Swain -> If you'd be so kind to dismiss them then?

Rue Wydown -> Crew dismissed!

Ryan Mesner -> Night all!

T'Prehl -> Night !

Charlotte Matsumura -> Night, folks.
