USS Excalibur - August 26 2012

[Rue Wydown 0]

Cptn Swain -> MISSION BRIEF: The Excalibur is preparing to blow up the Augustine, then deploy buoys, then get the heck home. Questions?

Cptn Swain -> Alrighty then.

 

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Fae -> :: calling up an LCARS display with a large red button. ::

Rue Wydown -> ::almost wishes she had popcorn as she hunkers down in front of a viewscreen to watch the action in medical::

Cptn Swain -> ::Standing from his chair he made his way towards the front of the bridge::

Fae -> :: Laying in a few evasive courses, just cause she like to have them available. ::

Cptn Swain -> Are we clear of the blast radius?

Fae -> I figured 10 times the normally clear distance would be sufficient.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::in the chief's office, watching the Augustine on the screen::

Fae -> Mind if I do a test of the shields?

Maryse Dubois -> ::Watching the viewscreen in sickbay.::

Cptn Swain -> ::Nod:: Go ahead.

Fae -> :: Looks back to see if there is a Tac officer who wants to do the honors ::

Fae -> :: If not, brings them up herself ::

Cptn Swain -> On my mark, detonate the charges.

Taryn Castell -> ::Standing in sickbay, she watched the viewscreen anxiously, waiting for the fireworks.:: Blow it up, already!

Ryan Mesner -> ::leaning back in his chair, almost wishing he could drag Svejk into his office just to see the look on his face::

Cptn Swain -> Mark.

Fae -> :: Puts a finger just over the Great Red Spot ::

Fae -> :: Pushes the button ::

Fae -> :: Gets ready to go evasive ::

Rue Wydown -> Hey, the best part is the suspense.

Fae -> :: Makes sure the deflector is active as well ::

Cptn Swain -> ACTION> The charges on the Augustine detonate in a series of rippling explosions. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM-BOOM-BOOM. Rippling from the front of the ship towards the warp nacelles before culminating in a final BOOOOOOM.

Cptn Swain -> ::Lowly:: Ashes to ashes...

Fae -> Dust to dust.

Ryan Mesner -> ::grins:: That was fun.

Fae -> :: Scans to see if all this energy created any Godzilla like giant energy absorbing creatures ::

Cptn Swain -> ACTION> No signs of life in the wreckage. As the explosion goes off, sensors detect what appears to be a Klingon Bird of Prey exiting the system.

Fae -> BoP!

Rue Wydown -> Well, nothing like flying debris to cap off a long scary mission, yes?

Fae -> :: Focuses sensors on the exiting BoP ::

Fae -> Should we wave goodbye?

Cptn Swain -> ::Frowns and heads back to his seat::

Ryan Mesner -> ::glances down at this tactical feed, looking to Charlotte:: Klingons just left. They must be satisfied.

Cptn Swain -> How are the quarantine markers coming?

Fae -> I'm waiting on your messages. Have five ready to be programmed.

Charlotte Matsumura -> I'd hope so.

Charlotte Matsumura -> I know they're more fond of big bada-booms than I am. ::shrugs::

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

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ This is Wydown. Yes, Captain?

Fae -> :: Making sure there are no large enough pieces of Augustine apt to re-enter the planet's atmosphere or crash into a quarantine buoy. ::

Maryse Dubois -> So glad that's over with.

Fae -> :: makes a few minor modifications to her buoy placement plans ::

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ Rue, we're almost ready to deploy the quarantine markers. Two questions, any thought on what the damned things should say? And two, have we closed down shop sufficiently for science?

Fae -> :: Starts listening for Rue ::

Cptn Swain -> ::Takes his seat in the center seat::

Taryn Castell -> ::She let out a breath.:: Now to deal with the aftermath. ::Glances at their patients.::

Rue Wydown -> +Swain+ There's usually a standard message for quarantine to use in the Federation database. Second, I'll check with Science to make sure they've closed down shop. I'm sure HQ will want their data.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods.:: That will take some time.

Cptn Swain -> +Wydown+ I didn't know if you thought we should be more or less descript with the message, given the circumstances. Let me know on science. Swain out.

Cptn Swain -> ::Fae:: Prep a standard bio-hazard quarantine message and begin deploying.

Fae -> The standard programs vary more or less by how stupid you'd have to be to violate? I'll go with pretty darn stupid as a priority, but should I get specific on what we learned?

Ryan Mesner -> (back)

Fae -> Somebody back on Camelot thought it was a big secret.

Cptn Swain -> ::Shakes his head:: No, don't go into any specifics.

Cptn Swain -> I doubt that this place sees many visitors anyway. We're pretty far off any trade routes.

Fae -> Good enough. :: Loads a very strongly worded standard template package. ::

Cptn Swain -> +Security+ Swain to Security.

Ryan Mesner -> +Swain+ Mesner.

Fae -> :: Checks the debris field of the Augustine against the buoy placements one more time. Downloads a few sensor and evasive programs into the buoys ::

Cptn Swain -> +Mesner+ Good work on the Demo. I'll expect an after action report. Anything you guys feel we need to do to close down shop before we head out? The Quarantine should be setup soon enough.

T'Prehl -> ::working in the lab::

Fae -> :: Loads three buoys into 3 tubes, and sets up a sequential launch pattern. ::

Fae -> :: Runs final diagnostics on the buoys ::

Fae -> :: Preps a course for Camelot, accounting for latest estimate of the storm effects ::

Taryn Castell -> ::She flipped the viewer off and scooped up her data padd.:: Well, these supplies aren't going to inventory themselves. ::Pauses.:: Actually, they do, but I like to double check.

Ryan Mesner -> +Swain+ Well, I would say to level the facility with a spread of quantum torpedoes, but someone might protest to that. We're satisfied down here.

Fae -> :: Remembers an old saying about nuking them from orbit... ::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::mutters something about the blasted things probably absorb it, and we'd have Mothra on our hands...::

Fae -> Buoys ready for launch, Captain.

Cptn Swain -> +Mesner+ ::Chuckles:: Very well. Look forward to your report, Swain out.

Cptn Swain -> ::Fae:: Launch.

T'Prehl -> ::moves up to the bridge, to monitor the buoy launch::

Fae -> :: Hits the launch sequence ::

Rue Wydown -> ::heading down to Science to see where they are with the samples from the mission::

Fae -> :: Requests post deploy diagnostic sequence and sets up to record responses and alarm on anomaly. ::

Fae -> Looks like a good deploy.

Ryan Mesner -> ::turns to Charlotte:: Time to play a game called pick your poison.

Fae -> Incoming message, sir. We are in a quarantine zone.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::lopsided grin:: Let me guess -- one of them involves doing the AAR?

Cptn Swain -> ::Nods:: Very good. begin plotting our course back to Camelot.

Fae -> Plotted. I sort of anticipated.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Smirks as she goes to check on the patients.::

Fae -> Some orders, you sort of look forward to?

Ryan Mesner -> Yes, or, you can scoot on up to tactical, and assist in buoy deploying operations.

Cptn Swain -> ::Nods:: I suppose you're right.

Fae -> :: Takes down shields ::

Charlotte Matsumura -> Rochambeau?

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::arching a brow::

Fae -> :: Checks warp drive status ::

T'Prehl -> ::Tapping away at her console::

Fae -> :: Holding her finger over a button again... ::

Ryan Mesner -> I felt too awful having to decide for you.

Rue Wydown -> ::entering the lab:: Oh it's so quiet with Eddie here. ::pouts::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::chuckles:: Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::drains the last of her drink, putting it in the recycler::

Charlotte Matsumura -> Since I managed the big boom, perhaps I should write the report?

Ryan Mesner -> ::grins:: Works for me. Been awhile since I graced the bridge with my presence anyway.

Cptn Swain -> Eddie> ::Sulking in his room::

Fae -> :: Through sheer force of will, is managing not to prod the captain ::

Taryn Castell -> ::Making notations on the inventory, she wandered over to Maryse.:: Think you'll be waking them up soon? They are nearly healed and shouldn't be in that much pain any more.

Charlotte Matsumura -> Give my love to the old man. ::smirks, heading back out to one of the work stations::

Rue Wydown -> So, we need to package up what we have both sample and data wise and prepare something for the sciences guys back home. You all think you can handle that?

Cptn Swain -> ::Fae:: I'd like to make sure that the quarantine is setup and secure before we leave.

Ryan Mesner -> ::chuckles to himself, before finishing off the last of his coffee, making his way out of his office and security::

Cptn Swain -> You can begin easing us out of orbit though.

Fae -> Aye. :: re-plots a slow exit of orbit and clear of the ecliptic ::

Fae -> :: Engages at low impulse ::

Fae -> :: Calls for final diagnostics from the buoys ::

Ryan Mesner -> ::hops in a turbolift:: Bridge::

22:48:11 Fae -> Good diagnostics and good communications from all three buoys. All three holding station.

Maryse Dubois -> Yeah. I've already stopped using sedatives. I'll let them wake on their own now.

Cptn Swain -> ::Stands and heads down from the perch::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::at the terminal, logs in and keys her encryption code::

Rue Wydown -> Excellente, muchas gracies. ::grins, mangling her foreign language skills, then heads towards the lab door::

Fae -> :: Glances up on hearing footsteps again ::

Fae -> They say it's good to head out. I've heard it's also good to head back.

Ryan Mesner -> ::arrives on the bridge, surveying the denizens before making a leisurely stroll to Tactical::

Charlotte Matsumura -> ::encodes a message, and sets for transmission in small packets, to be sent with any comms traffic to the station::

Fae -> :: Glances back briefly at Ryan and the captain. ::

Cptn Swain -> ::Glances over as Ryan walks on:: Oh good, you're just in time.

Ryan Mesner -> ::confident grin:: Of course I am.

Cptn Swain -> ::Messner:: Make sure the quarantine is in place and then we can head out. You have the bridge. I'm going to head down and get some sleep.

Fae -> :: Slowly shifts from a clear the ecliptic course to the line towards Camelot. ::

Cptn Swain -> ::Smiles, then heads for the TL::

Fae -> You missed the Earth Shattering Kaboom, though.

Ryan Mesner -> I'll try not to change any of your settings. ::hops in the big chair::

Ryan Mesner -> Fae, to Risa! Best possible speed!

Fae -> Risa. :: taps on neutral positions on LCARS as if obeying the order ::

Taryn Castell -> Very good. ::She stared down at one of the burn patients, tipping her head to watch them sleep.:: I wonder what really happened over there...

Rue Wydown -> ::humming as she enters the lift:: Bridge, please.

Cptn Swain -> ::Gives him a dubious look before heading into the TL::

Ryan Mesner -> Y'know, the least you could do is make the viewer go to warp.

Ryan Mesner -> Let me live the fantasy a bit.

Charlotte Matsumura -> (( Turn on the warp field screen saver? ))

Fae -> I'd like to take the whole ship to warp. It's going to be a long ride back on quarter impulse.

Maryse Dubois -> We can only guess at this point.

Cptn Swain -> ::Smirks at the duo while waiting for the TL to arrive::

Ryan Mesner -> Well, ping the buoys with the standard test frequencies, and then we can get the hell out of here.

Fae -> :: Sighs. Repeats the final diagnostic sequence again. ::

Ryan Mesner -> ::glancing at controls on the armrest:: Vibrate function?

Ryan Mesner -> ::a loud humming fills the bridge::

Fae -> Mister Mesner. We are in a quarantine zone. The buoys are telling us to leave. Diagnostics are passing, however. Again. Still.

Fae -> :: Not sure if she is pretending to be impatient or not ::

Ryan Mesner -> Good enough for me. Take us out of the system, then set a course for Camelot, Warp 6.

Rue Wydown -> ::surprised to find that there are not celebratory parties going on once the turbolift doors open out for the bridge::

Ryan Mesner -> And...do it flashy, incase the Klingons are still looking from afar.

Fae -> Camelot. Warp 6.

Fae -> :: Engages, quickly, before whomever is entering the bridge states an opinion. ::

Cptn Swain -> ::Smiles slight as the doors open:: Oh, Rue.

Fae -> :: Works her way up to warp 6 kind of slowly, letting the engines warm as they go. ::

Rue Wydown -> Oh Asher.

Fae -> :: Wonders if she should cue the violins ::

Cptn Swain -> ::Smirks:: I'll be in my quarters if you need me...

Cptn Swain -> AND

Cptn Swain -> PAUSE

Cptn Swain -> SIM

Fae -> :: paused ::

T'Prehl -> ::Paused::

Cptn Swain -> Heh.

Cptn Swain -> Alrighty. So as a reminder, we won't be simming next week.

Cptn Swain -> We'll come back next week about, eh, let's say half-way home. It's like a three or four week jaunt back to Camelot.

Cptn Swain -> Questions?

Rue Wydown -> Who will be here next week by the way guys?

Ryan Mesner -> How many pregnancy cases will Medical see by the time we reach Camelot?

Charlotte Matsumura -> Not I.

Rue Wydown -> It's Labor Day weekend here in the States.

Fae -> I'll likely swing by briefly.

Ryan Mesner -> I'll probably be here, but I must bounce, Night everyone!

T'Prehl -> Is it?

Rue Wydown -> Do I have to have *that* talk with you Ryan?

Cptn Swain -> LOL

Cptn Swain -> I will be around next weekend, and if we have enough people we'll run off-plot.

Taryn Castell -> We've sterilized him already.

T'Prehl -> Labour Day not the first Monday of September anymore?

Rue Wydown -> Yes, it is. It's next weekend.

T'Prehl -> Ahh

Rue Wydown -> That's what we're talking about, next weekend.

Cptn Swain -> Heh.

T'Prehl -> I see. Heh/

Taryn Castell -> Night all.

Rue Wydown -> All right guys, dismissed. :)

T'Prehl -> Goodnight!

Charlotte Matsumura -> Night, dahlin!

Cptn Swain -> Have a good week!
