USS Republic - April 1 2013

[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: While on a VIP tour of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders, in a special vehicle has been employed to allow the crew to enjoy the spectacular view while staying safe from the extreme heat within the cave, the vehicle has stopped suddenly. Does this mean there’s a photo opportunity ahead? Or does this mean that Smith has finally managed to break the ship? Or is this some elaborate April Fools Joke on the Republic Crew?

Tory Knight -> ::having taken out her miniature PADD, picking up reading on the latest scientific journal -- or at least seeming to, while keeping partial attention focused on the activity around her::

STSF_BluRox -> ::hears Kasuga and decides she's not eating anything::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Cookies!! ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>Is that a rule from your planet? ::taking in the look of Kasuga's funny skin condition::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yes.

STSF_BluRox -> ::rolls eyes at Kasuga::

Christina_Nickles -> ::speaks up:: Not everyone abides by that rule.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::that’s why she's not the ship's chef::

STSF_BluRox -> (this is where Dante is needed!)

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>Why not?

Jameson Bardolph -> Only applies to very tasty things. ::dryly;::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Lets Nickels answer that one:: Like cookies.

Christina_Nickles -> Not everyone agrees that they are still safe.

STSF_BluRox -> ::walks back toward the back::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Listening to Kasuga and Nickles ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> Well, I can understand *that*.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::in an undertone to Tory:: Glad everyone's getting into the spirit of cultural exchange, neh?

STSF_BluRox -> ::sees Will eating a cookie:: You might want to think differently about eating though.......

Jameson Bardolph -> ::grins::

Tory Knight -> ::smirking, glancing at Barcode over her reading:: Let's just say I'm waiting for the planet-shattering kaboom.

Christina_Nickles -> :: looks out the windows then says to Smith:: Why have we stopped?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Sipping her drink::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::looks up:: Why?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> Don't know. Not to worry though. If there was a problem, the Engineer would let us know.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ah

Jameson Bardolph -> ::shakes head, chuckling, then looks back at Smith in time to hear him answer Nickles' question::

Christina_Nickles -> ::looks to Blu walking past:: I would hope so.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Partakes in cookies::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Nearly out of coffee ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::also partakes in some cookies and another cola::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>::dusts his hands off and heads back to the galley::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::settles back in his seat and determinedly closes his eyes:: Someone wake me when we're going again. ::to no one in particular::

STSF_BluRox -> I believe they've had a bit of a stay on the floor...

Tory Knight -> I'll be sure to set an alarm. ::wry grin, continuing to read::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Trying to remain calm, perhaps taking in the current view would help ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> I grabbed these before they graced the floor, thankfully.

STSF_BluRox -> Well....that you knew of...

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION> THERE'S A KNOCK AGAINST THE REAR HULL OF THE VEHICLE.

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::hears knock:: We just get rear ended?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Nudges Will::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::eyes open immediately at the sound, sits up straight::

Christina_Nickles -> ::jumps at the sound of the knock grabbing for her weapon that isn’t there.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Knocked from her train of thought by the knocking ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Someone get left outside?

Christina_Nickles -> No one went outside... that I know of

Tory Knight -> Shave and a haircut? ::brows furrowed::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Gets up and heads toward the sound of the knock ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> If it's the pizza man, the money is in my coat pocket :;to Heather::

Heather Jamieson -> Better be the beer man...

STSF_BluRox -> ::looks for their guide:: I thought nobody could survive outside? Or did something fall upon the ship?

August Jax Robinson -> maybe it’s the guide?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks around the rear of the ship ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> See anything back there, Heather?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::knocks on the back of the vehicle to see if he gets a response::

STSF_BluRox -> I've got a bad feeling about this......

STSF_BluRox -> (Bad dates!)

STSF_BluRox -> (It had to be snakes!)

Christina_Nickles -> ::stands to see what’s going on::

STSF_BluRox -> (Or was that Snapes?)

Heather Jamieson -> Hello Commander, come knocking back here often? :: smiles ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Watch it...Could have Snakes on a Shuttle))

LtCmdrRobinson -> Perhaps we better get moving again, huh? ::looks forward::

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>ANOTHER FAINT KNOCK IS HEARD AS IF IN RESPONSE TO WILL'S KNOCK

 

August Jax Robinson -> ::slaps Heather::

STSF_BluRox -> Did someone go outside while we were stopped?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Oooo catfight?::

Jameson Bardolph -> Anyone got a tric on them?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Someone’s out there.

Christina_Nickles -> ::counts:: I don’t believe so not from our crew anyway

STSF_BluRox -> (sorry, only a 10 speed)

Jameson Bardolph -> ::speaking casually but extremely attentive to the situation::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::knocks 3 more times to be sure::

STSF_BluRox -> ::looks over to Bardolph:: Can you go find the Ambassador, or one of the pilots for us please?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Gives Jax the look of daggers ::

Jameson Bardolph -> Aye, ma'am. ::stands and moves towards the cockpit door::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::watches Bardolph::

August Jax Robinson -> back off ::points at Heather::

Tory Knight -> ::holstering her PADD, shifting forward in her seat::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::taps the door control to the cockpit::

Heather Jamieson -> :: turns to Jax :: Just trying to lighten the mood while I take a look at the rear of the craft.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>::after a bit of a delay, cracks open the door to the cockpit:: Yes?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::tries to ignore the impending heather/august battle::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::briskly:: Admiral wants to speak to you, sir.

August Jax Robinson -> I'll lighten your mood right out the door

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>Um....::glancing behind him, then back to Bardolph:: I see. Give me one moment.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::puts a hand on August's shoulder to calm her down::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::eyes twitch just a little narrower, but nods::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Turns to August :: You have jealousy issues. :: turns back to Commander Robinson :: Well, who are they and do we let them in?

Jameson Bardolph -> You should also know we're hearing a noise out the back hatch. ::in a "just fyi" sort of way::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois> ::nods, shutting the door to the cockpit::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::blinks as the door is shut in his face::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Smiles::

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>ANOTHER KNOCK, FAINT THIS TIME, HEARD ON THE PORT FORWARD SIDE OF THE SHUTTLE

 

Jameson Bardolph -> Oh, good, they've moved up. ::frowns as he turns from the door::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Come and knock on my door, we've been waiting for you...

Christina_Nickles -> Can anyone see what’s out there? ::tries looking out her window::

STSF_BluRox -> ::awaiting Bardolph's return::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks out her window as well::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Heads to a port window :: I can't see anything.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Nor can I,

August Jax Robinson -> ::Hands twitches, wanting to slam Heather's head into the window.... the door, the floor and anything else that is hard::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::coming back to Blu:: He asked me to "give him a minute," ma'am.

STSF_BluRox -> (really Ayumu...you watched that? or wait...was that a Canadian show?)

LtCmdrRobinson -> don’t know who they are, but they are alive and moving. for the moment

STSF_BluRox -> What do you me an? Give him a minute? And where is the guy that brought us here?

Ayumu Kasuga -> (lol.. I watched reruns)

Jameson Bardolph -> I told him you wanted to talk to him and he said, "give me one moment." ::shakes head::

LtCmdrRobinson -> On it, Boss. ::walks up front to the cockpit door:: Hey! You got someone stuck outside! ::bangs very loudly on the door::

STSF_BluRox -> Will...can you assist Bardolph with communications with our piloting crew? Excellent...thank you

Jameson Bardolph -> ::frowns slightly:: Guess I'm good cop, eh? ::drops into his seat again heavily::

Christina_Nickles -> ::watching out to window to see if she can see anything or anyone::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>::opening the door, slipping outside into the main cabin, and shutting the door quickly behind him:: There is no need to shout. ::scowling at Robinson:: And I can assure you that no one is outside.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks out the window to get a loookie::

Tory Knight -> Playing against type?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Wonders if August would fit through the window ::

Jameson Bardolph -> Tory> Hardly. Gotta use my charm somehow. ::drawls::

LtCmdrRobinson -> We've heard banging outside that has moved around and responded to my banging. So what is out there then?

Jameson Bardolph -> Gravois> There is. Knocking's been moving up the port side.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Bats?

Christina_Nickles -> :: to Gravois:: sir we all heard someone knocking on the hull.

Tory Knight -> We're hardly in a belfry.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois> There can't be anyone outside. At this level of the caverns, no person could feasibly survive outside this vehicle for any more than 5 minutes at most. There is no one outside the vehicle. You're just hearing the atmosphere pressing on the hull.

Christina_Nickles -> ::looks around:: Answering knocking from the inside crew? Pressure doesn’t do that

STSF_BluRox -> ::stands and walks over to Gravois:: Look, we can settle this quite easily......why don't you get us a scanning device, and have your pilots do an external scan just to be sure?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Thinking about the sounds ::

STSF_BluRox -> Well man, don't just stand there with your jaw hanging open gaping......go get us a tricorder.....

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>I don't carry one of those. ::frowns::

Christina_Nickles -> Maybe a few of us should suit up and go out and look?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Knocks back::

Jameson Bardolph -> You don't have external sensor equipment?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::reaches for the cockpit door:: I'll just go up and help you folks scan.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>Sure, we have external sensors.

Christina_Nickles -> ::looks back out the windows trying to catch a limp of what’s knocking::

Jameson Bardolph -> So can you take a look outside? And check on this? ::polite but firm::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>If you insist. ::sighs, thinking these people are insane - especially since he hears no knocking::

STSF_BluRox -> Then I would like you to take either Mr Bardolph or Mr Robinson with you, so that they can evaluate the results of the scan

Tory Knight -> ::furrowing her brow, withdrawing her PADD again, and tapping a few commands::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>Okay. ::glances at Robinson:: Please, ::motions to the cockpit door::

 

 

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to Bardolph:: thank you

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::heads in:: Hi kids.

August Jax Robinson -> ::sneers at Heather::

STSF_BluRox -> ::shakes head at Will::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~Pause Sim~~~

Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~Pause Sim~~~

Christina_Nickles -> ::paused::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Muhahahahaha

Jameson Bardolph -> ::PAWSORS::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::psd::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Any questions?
