USS Republic - April 22 2013

[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: Trapped together in a specialized vehicle in what seems to be the middle of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders, the crew claims to have heard some sort of knocking on the vehicle’s hull. The cockpit of the vehicle has gone missing. And now time is ticking away as the Republic crew wait for the Robinsons' to return to the safety of the vehicle interior with mechanics needed to contact help.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::outside, covering the Wife® while she works::

STSF_BluRox -> Perhaps...the knocking sound, was the front of the ship, 'detaching....and going for help?"

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>The front of the ship doesn't detach, ma'am. ::dryly::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Thinks :: Stresses on the hull? Part of the frame buckling?

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>THERE'S ANOTHER KNOCK ON THE PORT SIDE OF THE HULL.

 

Heather Jamieson -> :: Goes to the knocking ::

STSF_BluRox -> Well, I'm not an engineer....how should I know what Risan ships can do?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::goes over to the sound of the knocking as well::

Jameson Bardolph -> Smith> Well, it *did* detach. So let's not go making blanket statements.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Attaches cables and wires to the top, to the comm system thing::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::starts to his feet at the sound of the knock, slaps commbadge:: +Will+ Bardolph to Robinson.

Christina_Nickles -> :: jumps and turns quickly:: Jameson? Was that the Cmdr? or JAX??

Ayumu Kasuga -> I don't think that as Will or Jax

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::is getting very warm already:: Are you working on that comm relay or are you painting a picture of it?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>You asked me that a few minutes before you sent your people out to bake. It does not detach. It can't detach.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() +Bardolph+ Go ahead

August Jax Robinson -> ⁄@#$%^&*() ::Hands Will the other end, slides down from the top-ish::

Heather Jamieson -> I don't think she'd make that sound unless she is having fun at my expense. :: looking around ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::grumbles to self:: Well.....obviously.... it does, since it's not there

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::grabs it::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> It's not a Lego, ma'am. You just can't pull the ship apart and build a new one.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() get inside, we can finish in there

STSF_BluRox -> Someone tell them to rotate in, before they bake themselves

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>::huffs:: Tourists.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Thinks Will should rotate in so he doesn't bake himself ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() +Bardolph+ Open the hatch.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::grips onto her seat to brace herself from the opening hatch::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::is sexier when he is sweaty::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((sorry, safari froze up))

STSF_BluRox -> (one should never freeze on safari, the lions will eat you)

Jameson Bardolph -> +Robinson+ Aye, sir. Knocking on the port side, if you've got an eye on it. ::heads for the hatch and triggers it open, taking another blast-furnace wave of air in the face: ::swears creatively::

Ayumu Kasuga -> (the Mountain Lion as my case would be :P )

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::looks around the side of the ship:: +B+ I don’t see anything.

STSF_BluRox -> (which is what blu looks like!)

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Climbs inside the cabin

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::backs in the cabin, covering:: Seal it up.

Heather Jamieson -> (( likes cats ))

Jameson Bardolph -> ::leans forward and tugs the hatch shut behind them::

Heather Jamieson -> What did you see?

Christina_Nickles -> Cmdr Did you hear the knocking on the port side?

Jameson Bardolph -> ::then leans his head against the bulkhead metal again:: Ugh...

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aside from rock formations?

August Jax Robinson -> Knocking?.. no I was being cooked alives and trying to Engineer!

LtCmdrRobinson -> Rocks that weren’t in formation as well. Didn’t see the rest of the ship or anything else for that matter

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ooooh!

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::keeps wondering where the knocking is coming from, its a bit disconcerting::

Christina_Nickles -> (( Canada on our Local news wow))

Heather Jamieson -> You saw nothing to either side of the craft?

STSF_BluRox -> (KY is like 10 hrs behind Christina!! )

Christina_Nickles -> ((LOL I know Go figure))

STSF_BluRox -> (but we'll let you slide tonight)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Heh..)

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>A SERIES OF KNOCKS ARE HEARD COMING DOWN THE STARBOARD SIDE LIKE A KID HITTING A FENCE WITH A STICK

 

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Quickly looks out the window to see what it may have been::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Jumps a bit then goes to the side and knocks in turn ::

Dr Tisa Sen -> This is just crazy

Christina_Nickles -> :: looks out of the window:: I still don’t see anything

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ahh! ::startled by the knocking:: Oh, man. This is trippy. More trippy than my psychedelic face!

Christina_Nickles -> Jax? Could it be the hull buckling because of the extensive heat??

August Jax Robinson -> I am pretty sure they built the shuttle to take the heat

STSF_BluRox -> What's the status of that transmitter?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods:: I agree with Commander Jax. This model shuttle is designed to withstand heat much higher than this.

August Jax Robinson -> it's working, I attached a cable to it.. we can hook it up to a tricorder and hope for the best

STSF_BluRox -> Yes, but with that forward section gone, can that bulkhead, withstand it without the nose section?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Shrugs:: lets hope so? I really don't know

Ayumu Kasuga -> I don't think they mentioned that in Shuttle Trend.

Dr Tisa Sen -> What part of the ship has the motor and power supplies? We didn't loose that did we?

Christina_Nickles -> ::nods:: We did..

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>:;waves a fan in front of his face:: Is it just me or did the interior cabin temperature rise a bit more with that last trip outside?

STSF_BluRox -> Well, get it hooked up and transmitting then

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods::

Christina_Nickles -> The Cockpit and the temp controls were there.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Pulls open her Tric, starts working::

STSF_BluRox -> Assuming that heat got in when they opened the door, your power of intuition is astounding Mr Smith

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::"helps" by holding the cable::

Christina_Nickles -> :: mumbles to herself:: I knew I should have stayed on the ship

Heather Jamieson -> :: Goes back to standing with Kasuga and Nickles ::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((going to kill this browser))

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>No, I mean the generators don't seem to have recovered as quickly this time around.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::gives Smith a troubled look:: Any enviro controls we can check on this side of the cockpit bulkhead?

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

 

STSF_BluRox -> Perhaps they were situated in the forward section?

Heather Jamieson -> Ugh!

Christina_Nickles -> :: jumps again :: OH geez I wish that would stop already

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at Will when she hears the Thump::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Sighs::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> ::jumps:: Um...yeah, ::motions vaguely at a computer screen near the entrance door::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::head swivels around at the thump:: Ah, jaysus...(m)

August Jax Robinson -> ::Takes half of the wires from Will:: I should work faster.. huh?

Dr Tisa Sen -> Maybe its the old char from old earth Bambi and Thumper doing it

Jameson Bardolph -> ::goes to the console Smith indicated, keying it up to check the enviro controls while glancing over his shoulder nervously at the hatch::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((You all are going to die I tell you. Die))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((::not surprised::))

Christina_Nickles -> ((seems that way))

STSF_BluRox -> (well, they might)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Oh well)

Christina_Nickles -> Anything Jameson?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Well both times we've been outside I haven’t see anything. Not sure what is making the sound, but it’s probably very large.

Ayumu Kasuga -> That is reassuring

Heather Jamieson -> Could this be a creature making these sounds?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Or a practical joke by people who hate us. One of those things.

Jameson Bardolph -> to Nickles (and the group at large)> OK, we're definitely getting hotter. ::grimly::

August Jax Robinson -> ::scowls at Will::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks at her arm :: I'm getting brighter.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Figuratively or literally?

Christina_Nickles -> Go figure. Both

LtCmdrRobinson -> Smith, how far down are we? Are we within running distance to an exit?

STSF_BluRox -> ::looks around at Kasuga:: Are you glowing?

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::notes the color variation and moves to examine Heather:: When did that happen??

August Jax Robinson -> ::Turns on Tricorder, tries to send a message::

STSF_BluRox -> And I don't mean in...well...

Heather Jamieson -> With the added heat,

Ayumu Kasuga -> Am I? I think I could be

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>Um. Well, we traveled about an hour into the caverns. Probably not.

Christina_Nickles -> When I came in from outside I was a lot brighter.

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>JAX GETS A SORT OF INCOHERENT STATIC BACK, A WORD OR SOUND THROUGH SEVERAL SECONDS OF SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKK

 

Christina_Nickles -> Every time the door to outside open the more heat we get the brighter our ::frowns:: Color gets.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::shakes head:: Guessing we may have used up our allotment of door-opening.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Tries an S.O.S. pattern::

Dr Tisa Sen -> Hmm wonder if the the dye is heat sensitive

STSF_BluRox -> Yeoowww! ::covers ears:: Turn that down ::hisses::

Christina_Nickles -> ::turns her attention to Blurox::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::head snaps back at the sound of the static::

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::goes to the food area and grabs an ice cube::

STSF_BluRox -> ::looks up glaring at the first to look at her:: Sees the glowstick spotted one: What!?

Heather Jamieson -> :: winces ::

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Takes it back to Heather:: Give me your arm

Christina_Nickles -> Are you ok Sir? ::said nervously::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Goes to the doctor and gives her arm ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>::mumbling incoherently in the back of the shuttle::

August Jax Robinson -> Heather, what back corner Ferngi shop helped you with that skin job?

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Takes the arm and rubs the ice over the brighter area::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Shivers :: Whooo..

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Watche the color fade back:: Hmm ::Takes her other arm and writes a message on her arm with the ice::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Adjusts the cables, tries to send another message.. then listens:::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looks at Heather's arm::

Heather Jamieson -> Ha..

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Watches as the letters form on her arm::

STSF_BluRox -> ::watching Tisa experimenting:: Don't even tell me, that they are now basically....living Mood Rings?

Dr Tisa Sen -> well isn't that fun

Jameson Bardolph -> ::watching Tisa with a bemused look::

Dr Tisa Sen -> heat sensitive dye

Ayumu Kasuga -> Oooh?

Heather Jamieson -> Oh, I wonder what happens when it's really cold..

Jameson Bardolph -> Don't guess we're likely to find out any time soon.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Thinks she won't be able to lie very easily ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Wanna go to Andoria and find out?

Dr Tisa Sen -> well I only worry that if it gets hot it will set the dye

LtCmdrRobinson -> We may just be too far down. Any way to boost the comm power without risking the life support systems?

STSF_BluRox -> So you mean, they could be permanent glow sticks?

Jameson Bardolph -> Tisa> ::faint smile:: That's the only thing you're worried about?

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::nods:: If its that sensitive yes.

Ayumu Kasuga -> I am worried about that too :(

Christina_Nickles -> :: gets a shocked look on her face and the mention of Permanency::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Grabs more tape and connects more wires::

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>STILL MORE STATIC, ALTHOUGH THE INTERMITTEN SOUNDS MAY SOUND LIKE THEY'RE HUMANOID

 

STSF_BluRox -> (what is that word?)

August Jax Robinson ->+Hello.. anyone?+ This is the transport cart... pod? under the crystal tour

Heather Jamieson -> :: Feels bad for her friends ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> SHUTTLE>+.....lo.....ooo......is+

Ayumu Kasuga -> Louis?

LtCmdrRobinson -> August, set up a short audio recording and loop it nonstop so eventually they'll hear the whole message.

August Jax Robinson -> +help! MayDay SOS+

STSF_BluRox -> ::nods at Will:: That's a good idea

August Jax Robinson -> ::sets up the repeater message:: let’s hope someone hears us

LtCmdrRobinson -> Broadcast on all channels. Even if they can’t hear the message it'll still be annoying enough to get their attention.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::sits down heavily in one of the seats::

STSF_BluRox -> ::steps over to Bardolph:: Are you ok?

Jameson Bardolph -> Yes, ma'am. Just figured I could listen as well off my feet. That air outside packs a punch.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Coughs:: this has to work

Capt Rian Kwai -> +SHUTTLE+ ....ay..........ut.......+

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::moves to check on Bardolph::

STSF_BluRox -> Makes sense, and less expenditure of energy and air

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Runs the scans to make sure he doesn't have heat stroke:

STSF_BluRox -> What is that picking up Jax..something coming through....

Jameson Bardolph -> to Tisa> I'm all right, really.

Christina_Nickles -> :: remain seated to stay out of the way::

Dr Tisa Sen -> well better to be safe than sorry

August Jax Robinson -> it is picking up parts of a message. I can’t tell if it for us or if we are picking up other transmissions

STSF_BluRox -> (Last words?)

STSF_BluRox -> (Perhaps that was a poor choice or words)

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at sweaty Will:: hi

Heather Jamieson -> :: If her personality is not glowing, her skin will be ::

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused::\

August Jax Robinson -> ::paused

Christina_Nickles -> ::paused::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::psd::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::pawsors::

Heather Jamieson -> Paused

STSF_BluRox -> I hope we get rescued soon, all these sweaty smell humans....are assaulting my nares. Any questions anyone?

Capt Rian Kwai -> :)

Heather Jamieson -> Nope. I think Jax still likes me.

Capt Rian Kwai -> and if you ask "time between sims.." it might spell your doom

Jameson Bardolph -> ::makes note to bring old spice on his next mission::

STSF_BluRox -> Thank you for coming today and in remembrance of Earth Day, we left you buried in the Earth

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::waits for Barcode to say it::

August Jax Robinson -> I am glad you think that Heather

STSF_BluRox -> well, someone else's earth

Jameson Bardolph -> sims between time?

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, well if that's all then.... we have three glowers, three sweaty ones and I'm just going to sit over here

STSF_BluRox -> and Crew Dismissed

STSF_BluRox -> Night all!
