USS Excalibur August 19 2012

[Rue Wydown 0]

Cptn Swain -> MISSION BRIEF: Excalibur remains in orbit of Domaria V where Security has been tasked with the demo of the Augustine. Some minor house cleaning remains, including laying down quarantine buoys. And what is poor Tandaris to do?

Cptn Swain -> Questions?

Cptn Swain -> Alright there being no questions, we'll go ahead and get started. Our SGV is out sick tonight. It's been, we'll say 5-6 hours since we met last week.

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Fae -> :: At Hops, looking for BOPS ::

Ryan Mesner -> ::in his office::

Cptn Swain -> ::On the bridge::

Maryse Dubois -> ::In sickbay, checking over the patients.::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::sulking in engineering::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::in the transporter room, reviewing the plans for beaming over the det packages::

39 Rue Wydown -> ::contemplating recommending a 48 hour psych hold on Edward/Eddie whenever the ship eventually returns::

Taryn Castell -> ::Finally coming down off her sugar high and crashing hard in medical. She sat at her desk, chin propped in her hand, barely able to keep her eyes open as she stared at her data padd.::

Ryan Mesner -> ::relaxing, having just sent Swain the final plans for the demo::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Leans in toward Taryn and grins.:: Finally coming down huh?

Cptn Swain -> ::Glances to Fae:: Work with engineering to begin prepping the quarantine bouys, but don't program any of the language in just yet.

Rue Wydown -> ::tucks her PADD under her arm as she exits the lift and heads down the corridor::

Cptn Swain -> ::Looks over at his PADD as it beeps, notes its from Mesner -- just who he was about to go see::

Taryn Castell -> ::Jerks:: Huh? Wha...? Uh... no, I was just... resting my eyes. Fine. Really. ::Drifts off.::

Cptn Swain -> ::Stands:: I'll be in security if you need me.

Fae -> :: Nods to the Captain ::

Cptn Swain -> ::Tucks the PADD under his arm and heads towards a lift::

Fae -> +Tandaris+ Engineering? Do you have a few quarantine buoys you could prep up?

Rue Wydown -> ::humming some obscure tune from an old children's program where labatory creatures attempted world domination each and every night::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Smirks.:: Uh huh, right... You've been eating a lot of sweets lately. ::Goes to a replicator and comes back with a cup, handing it to Taryn.:: Here. It's juice.

Cptn Swain -> +TL+ Security.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::marking the areas of the remaining hulk of the Augustine, where she wants the det packages transported::

Rue Wydown -> ::taking a step inside the lobby of the main medical department::

Tandaris Admiran -> :: heavy sigh:: + Fae+ I do. How many do we need?

Taryn Castell -> ::Blinks.:: Juice?! The horror! ::Drinks it anyway, not finding it as satisfying, but at least it was sweet.::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Hearing the doors open.:: And you better do it fast. We have company.

Ryan Mesner -> ::takes a sip of his coffee, signing off on other paperwork::

Fae -> +Tandaris+ Standard distribution is two. Three if we're extra paranoid. Don't know about you, but I'm feeling medium paranoid about now.

Cptn Swain -> ::Like all lift rides, they work at the speed of the plot, so it was a short ride and Swain exited heading for the lift::

Rue Wydown -> Whotcha. ::leans against the nurse's station::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Walks over to the station.:: Commander, friendly visit or business?

Taryn Castell -> ::Seeing Rue, she stood up so fast that her head started to spin and she had to sit down again. Finishes her juice like a good little girl.::

Cptn Swain -> ::Rounding the corner he entered the lobby area of Main Security, nodding past the ensign drinking coffee at the front desk who seemed a little surprised to see the Captain, unannounced.::

Tandaris Admiran -> + Fae+ So, 2 and a half?

Rue Wydown -> Business. ::pulling out her PADD:: Just a quick check on where we are with our away team mishaps. How are they doing? When will they be released? Do I need to find permenant substitutions for them or will they survive to fight another day. That sorta thing. What can ye tell me?

Cptn Swain -> ::Hits the button to Messner's office door::

Fae -> +Tandaris+ Plus or minus a half. Just get them physically ready and loaded in a magazine. I'll handle programming when the Captain gives me the guidance... which he hasn't yet.

Maryse Dubois -> They are actually recovering pretty well. A couple are still in ICU, but very hopeful. And those two will be released soon, but not ready for work yet.

Ryan Mesner -> Come in. ::he glanced up from his padd::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Pointing to two crewmen laying in biobeds::

Tandaris Admiran -> + Fae+ Will do. :: without any trace of enthusiasm::

Cptn Swain -> ::Enters:: Good afternoon.

Rue Wydown -> Are they ever going to be released for duty? ::Looks over at them dubiously::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::with that done, and the transport officer prepped, she then moves to verify the timing and programming on the detonators::

Fae -> +Tandaris+ Such enthusiasm! Much appreciated anyway. Thanks. Out.

Maryse Dubois -> Yes, eventually. Once physically healed they will need psych evals. But I don't forsee any complications.

Rue Wydown -> And what do you think, Dr Castell?

Ryan Mesner -> Captain. ::he blinked, slightly surprised. He stood to meet him:: I just sent up the plan. Figured you'd be in your ready room.

Fae -> :: Checks the orbital patterns of the local system. How to place the buoys so no one is apt to get close in without getting a good long clear line of sight on them? ::

Tandaris Admiran -> :: begins prepping the beacons::

Taryn Castell -> ::Almost nodding again, she jerked at Rue's question.:: Ah, the same as Doctor Dubois. The physical body is nearly healed, but we haven't woken them up to assess the mental.

Taryn Castell -> They've been in a lot of pain.

Cptn Swain -> ::Smiles:: I wanted to come down and get the briefing myself. I haven't got to spend as much time getting to know this crew as I would like.

Cptn Swain -> So, from what I've read so far, you're going to beam charges over to select locations, yes?

Rue Wydown -> So either they'll have a full release, or they won't 'cause of psych exams 'cause they haven't been woken up yet. ::glances at the two of them:: Don't sugar coat it for me, mates, which is it?

Maryse Dubois -> They may never be the same...We simply just don't know. Don't write them off yet, but don't expect them to be on duty in the near future.

Ryan Mesner -> Yes. ::he put up a diagram of the Augustine on the large wall panel behind his desk:: A series of explosions here, here and here will trigger a feedback loop in the EPS grid.

Cptn Swain -> ::Nods:: Any potential dangers to the Excalibur?

Ryan Mesner -> More explosions, ::points:: will force this feedback all the way to engineering, where it will eventually destabilize matter/anti-matter containment, and big explosion.

Ryan Mesner -> ::shakes his head:: Not as long as we keep a safe distance.

Cptn Swain -> ::Smirks at the 'Big Explosion'::

Taryn Castell -> There shouldn't be any complications with getting them back on their feet physically, but who knows what their mental state will be. ::Trying to rephrase, but her sugar-crashed brain was making it difficult to... y'know... think.::

Cptn Swain -> I assume 'big explosion' is a technical term down here?

Rue Wydown -> A trip to the company shrink it is then. ::making a note in the PADD:: Any other info that you all want to update me with.

Maryse Dubois -> Lab results we took from each of them have come up negative. So they are clean.

Ryan Mesner -> It should be enough to ruin Svejk's day, sir.

Ryan Mesner -> ::slight grin::

Cptn Swain -> ::Smiles:: Well then, sounds like you all have everything under control.

Rue Wydown -> Security was having some issues with our friend Mr Svejk. Anything medical come out of that?

Cptn Swain -> You can begin deploying the charges as soon as you're ready. Inform us as soon as you're good to go.

Maryse Dubois -> I'm staying clear of Mr. Svejk...

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::satisfied with the programming and the layout, taps her commbadge:: +Mesner+ Matsumura to Mesner.

Cptn Swain -> ::Stands:: We'll I'll leave you to it.

Ryan Mesner -> I'm probably good to go. +Charlotte+ Good news. I'm standing in front of the Captain.

Tandaris Admiran -> :: prepares five buoys, for contingencies::

Rue Wydown -> I understand you want to steer clear of him, but I need to know if he presents any sort of medical threat to the crew. ::raises a brow::

Charlotte Matsumura -> +Mesner+ ::thinking, "I'll try to contain my excitement...":: ::aloud she says...:: Well, I'm prepped here, Chief. Ready whenever we have the word.

Taryn Castell -> We've been monitoring him from his room and haven't seen any sort of abnormal spike in his bioreadings. They seem to think he was having some sort of fit, but it could have only been a ploy to get out of his room.

Maryse Dubois -> ::nods at what Taryn said.:: I haven't seen anything to suggest he's a threat yet.

Cptn Swain -> ::Heads out of Messner's office, leaving him to do his job::

Ryan Mesner -> +Charlotte+ The word we have. Happy planting.

Charlotte Matsumura -> +Mesner+ Excellent. I'll get things rolling.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::lopsided grin:: +Mesner+ See you in a few minutes. Matsumura out.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::moves over to the control console, overseeing the beam out::

Charlotte Matsumura -> Transporter officer> ::activates transporter, and deposits the det packs where they belong aboard the Augustine::

Rue Wydown -> That's good to know. ::smirks:: And I have no doubt it was a ploy, but we do have to check it out for sincerity.

Ryan Mesner -> ::returns to his chair and coffee::

Fae -> :: Sees the transporters go active briefly, and sort of guesses what is going on from the pattern of placement. ::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::on her PADD, checks the location beacons attached to the det packs::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::notes that they are in the appropriate places, awaiting the signal... with timers for backup::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::nods her thanks to the transport officer, then heads out of the TR, making her way back to security::

Cptn Swain -> ::Heads to the lift::

Taryn Castell -> Well, we have been monitoring. I offered to go down there, but they didn't seem to think it is necessary.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::stepping into the lift, the doors close, and re-open a few seconds later on the appropriate deck::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::entering main security, waves to the ensign on watch with her fingers, heading directly to Mesner's office::

Cptn Swain -> ::Enters onto he bridge::

Rue Wydown -> Introducing you would be introducing a whole new level of Crazy into Eddie's world. ::grins::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::crosses to the replicator::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::turns, revealing a bag of popcorn::

Rue Wydown -> Don't give me too many ideas. ::evil grin::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::grins:: Thought you might want to watch the light show.

Taryn Castell -> Ugh, I'd have to sugar up before attempting anything so risky.

Cptn Swain -> ::Fae:: We should be ready to begin demo of the Augustine shortly. Make sure everyone knows.

Tandaris Admiran -> + Fae+ Buoys are prepped. I did five, in case there are any misfires or you decide you want more.

Cptn Swain -> ::Part of him felt like he should make some sort of announcement or something. Part of him just wanted it to be over. In some fashion this was, for him, a funeral.::

Fae -> +Tandaris + Sounds like mild overkill, but, hey, better than under kill. Thanks again.

Cptn Swain -> ::But he knew there would be plenty of time for that later.::

Rue Wydown -> Okay, so he's under control. Anything else?

Fae -> :: Confirms the buoys are ready to program and launch ::

Charlotte Matsumura -> (( Sorry... Lottie just barged in. ;) ))

Ryan Mesner -> It should be thoroughly epic. ::grins::

Ryan Mesner -> Unless they beam the explosives into the wrong area.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::nods to the screen in his office:: Can you patch us in?

Maryse Dubois -> Not that I can think of.

Ryan Mesner -> Then we'll just have a smoking ship.

Fae -> +PA+ All hands. USS Augustine is prepped for destruction. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::shakes her head, stealing a few kernels:: I've already verified placement.

Taryn Castell -> ::Opens her mouth, closes it, opens again, closes it, and then shakes her head.:: Not from me, Commander. I think that's everything.

Taryn Castell -> ::Hears the comm.:: Oh! Can we watch?!

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::leaning against the desk, kinda half-seated on the front edge::

Fae -> :: Does one more scan of Augustine looking for more or less normal life signs ::

Taryn Castell -> ::Rushes to the largest wall viewer and sets it to the ship's external view of the Augustine.::

Fae -> Captain, I have quarantine buoys ready to program as well. No sign of BoPs. No other changes.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Walks over to the viewer as well.::

Cptn Swain -> ::nods::

Ryan Mesner -> Of course. ::switches to the main viewer:: This thing gets more then water polo.

Rue Wydown -> ::follows along, always loved a good fire works show::

Fae -> (( Yep. Bad stuff here. Stay away. ))

Charlotte Matsumura -> That's good. Water polo is dreadfully dull.

Cptn Swain -> +Mesner+ Are we ready to go?

Charlotte Matsumura -> I much prefer the real thing with horses and muscular men. ::wry grin::

Ryan Mesner -> I perfer something more...physical. ::smirks::

Taryn Castell -> (( Except when they show the underwater shots. ))

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::rolls her eyes::

Ryan Mesner -> +Swain+ Charges are beamed over and armed, all you have to do is hit the big red button.

Fae -> :: Compares the sizes of the charge with blast effects at various ranges ::

Cptn Swain -> +Mesner+ Understood.

Cptn Swain -> ::Fae:: Move us to a safe distance.

Rue Wydown -> I hope they do this right. If they don't it's going to make a heck of a mess.

Fae -> Aye. :: Carefully checks her charts, and plots a course to 50 times a safe distance::

Cptn Swain -> ::Considers:: And send a note in the general area we're about to do it too. I'd rather not blow the Klingons up, too.

Fae -> :: Engages impulse at minimum power levels ::

Cptn Swain -> ...and...

Ryan Mesner -> ::glances to Charlotte:: Y'know, I've never blown up a ship with a cold warp core before. I suppose one more notch in the belt.

Fae -> +Guard Frequencies+ Demolition alert. USS Augustine is about to be destroyed. Anyone in the area should avoid Augustine.

Taryn Castell -> (( blow it up, already! ))

Fae -> +Guard+ Repeats in Klingon and assorted other languages.

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

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

Taryn Castell -> Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Maryse Dubois -> ::paused::

Fae -> What? I wanted "Push the button, Max."

Fae -> :: paused ::

Taryn Castell -> Where's the BOOM?

Rue Wydown -> ::snickers::

Fae -> Earth shattering kaboom?

Cptn Swain -> I am saving the fireworks for My pre-Birthday party sim.

Cptn Swain -> :P

Taryn Castell -> Don't expect any gifts.

Rue Wydown -> Don't you know, you always go to commercial break right now.

Taryn Castell -> After that stunt.

Fae -> In order to honor the first laser blast on mars, we ought to have an earth shattering kaboom!

Taryn Castell -> You're getting a flaming bag of poo.

Cptn Swain -> lol

Cptn Swain -> Alright, any questions?

Cptn Swain -> One last thing from me, what do everyone's plans look like for Labor Day?

Rue Wydown -> I'm sorry, I won't be here

Charlotte Matsumura -> I'll be in Atlanta with 60,000+ of my closest friends.

Cptn Swain -> Which con?

Fae -> No plans here.

Charlotte Matsumura -> DragonCon

Charlotte Matsumura -> As always.

Cptn Swain -> Sounds fun :)

Ryan Mesner -> I will be being paid to disc golf.

Cptn Swain -> Alright, we'll just take a vacation that week then.

Cptn Swain -> So, no sim Sunday 9/2

Cptn Swain -> Alrighty, nothing more from me. Anything from you Rue?

Charlotte Matsumura -> Being paid? Nice work if you can get it. =)

Rue Wydown -> Okay folks, I need to head out for the night.

Cptn Swain -> Alrighty.

Cptn Swain -> Have a good week and see you all next time.
