USS Republic - May 6 2013

[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: They’ve been saved! But saved from what??? 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 claimed to have heard some sort of knocking on the vehicle’s hull. In addition, the cockpit of the vehicle went missing further stranding the crew. Rescued by Engineer Stevens and his shuttle, the crew is headed back to where they started this 3 hour tour with more questions than answers for their Risian hosts.

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~Begin Sim~~~

Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~Begin Sim~~~

Jameson Bardolph -> ::abruptly free of his earlier disorientation after bumping into Smith, sits down looking around and trying to figure why the last half-hour or so is a major blur::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::settled into her seat in the other shuttle::

STSF_BluRox -> ::has questions.....like...why in the Blazes did she let Kwai talk her into this trip?:: This is why she preferred to avoid leave situations....they never turn out well.....never... ever.....

Capt Rian Kwai -> Stevens+In Shuttle Comm+ Don't worry folks, I'll have you back at the station in just a few short minutes. Please relax and enjoy your ride.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Glances at Will:: I don't like these people

LtCmdrRobinson -> You don't like anyone, dear. ::smiles::

Christina_Nickles -> Why does it scar me when they say that??

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Jax:: Going to have to agree with Will on that one ::smirks::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Smacks Dave in the back of the head:: I like Trepp

Heather Jamieson -> :: Sitting next to Kasuga :: Well...

August Jax Robinson -> I like people who are far away from me as well

Jameson Bardolph -> ::only half-listening to the discussion, frowning to himself::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Well indeed. Certainly went well, eh?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Oh so you like your sister now?

Heather Jamieson -> I could have used time at the beach.. but the skin..

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Jax:: Just how in the heck do we always end up in situations like this...on vacation...

Christina_Nickles -> :: settles back in her seat hoping the com was telling the truth this time and this is almost over::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Jax:: I swear, we should never accept invitations for leave

August Jax Robinson -> ::Snuggles up to Will:: Make him stop talking. :: Closes her eyes::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yeah, really. You think this is permanent?

STSF_BluRox -> Will, when we get back. I want some answers. Asap. Got it?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::looks at the boss, trying to figure out what answers he is going to have to make up::

Heather Jamieson -> Only the doctor can tell us that.

Christina_Nickles -> ::to Ayumu and heather:: I sure hope not.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::leans his head back in his seat and half-shuts his eyes::

 

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: Those with the pigmentation issues, had not noticed it, but the blotches of color, had been coalescing together and the pull of gravity from what position they had been in most, had pulled some of the color together. Thus, some of their fingers were now blue, some greenish yellow, , same with their legs or for those sitting...well, you can well imagine

 

STSF BluRox -> (we'll save that for the doctor to check, as punishment for not being here tonight)

August Jax Robinson -> ::Nudges Will, points at the color-mix::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>::about space in the back, numbly stares out the window::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Sighs:: Oh well.

Tory Knight -> ::having kept to herself, looks to Bardolph and studies his profile for a long moment before going back to her science journal::

August Jax Robinson -> Umm, Heather... you are looking a few shades different all over

Christina_Nickles -> ::: goes to wipe her face and sees the different colors::: ACCKK

Heather Jamieson -> It appears so.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::looks around at his shipmates turning colors::

Heather Jamieson -> You too Ayumu

STSF_BluRox -> (Ie...most of your skin is beginning to look more normal, less green....however, bright neon glowing extremities!)

Jameson Bardolph -> ::seeing the vague movement at his side, opens one eye fully to glance back at Tory:: You doin' OK? (m)

Christina_Nickles -> I think Im loosing circulation on parts of my hand. ... 3 of my fingers are blue

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::shrugs at the color changing folks:: I've been through worse.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Oh man... glowing fingers. ::nods to Will:: True, we're still human

Heather Jamieson -> :: Holds Christina's hand ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to Knight:: Ok...so would you have any explanation or suppositions as to why, we are missing a good portion of this ship?

Tory Knight -> Unexplained phenomena.

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>The shuttle they're on seems to be slowing down.

 

Christina_Nickles -> :: pulls her hand away:: Ill be glad when we get back to the ship

STSF_BluRox -> Swell.... I say we just blame Kwai. She was so gung ho to get us to come on this trip....then bailed...

Jameson Bardolph -> ::hearing Tory's comment, almost chokes on a sudden laugh::

Heather Jamieson -> Come now Christina, I wanted to see if your hand was cold and losing circulation. It seems not to be.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Stevens>+Comm+ We'll be arriving at the station in 10 minutes folks.

Christina_Nickles -> Do you see the color of them?? They are blue !!!

Tory Knight -> ::wry grin at Bardolph, shrugs a shoulder at the CO::

Ayumu Kasuga -> It gives 'cold feet' a whole new meaning.

Tory Knight -> Really... Like most of us here, I really am at a loss.

August Jax Robinson -> (w) I need ice cream

Heather Jamieson -> Ha. I'm afraid to look elsewhere.

Christina_Nickles -> I’m afraid to look at my feet.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::taps at a comm panel to talk to the folks up front:: +Stevens+ Any word on your missing pilots yet?

Heather Jamieson -> Christina, it's only skin pigmentation.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods::

Christina_Nickles -> Maybe for you but I will be in sickbay aas soon as we get to the ship.

August Jax Robinson -> It's not our problem Will

Capt Rian Kwai -> Stevens>+Robinson+ No. Not yet. First priority was to get your party back to the station, then we'll do our investigation.

Heather Jamieson -> I don't think we will be infiltrating any place soon.

Christina_Nickles -> He said a few minutes 15 minutes ago and now its going to be 10 more?? They are hiding something they HAVE to be.

Jameson Bardolph -> (m) Can't wait to see the hind end of this place.

STSF_BluRox -> :Shakes head at the pigmented ones in the back::

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>The vehicle slows further.

 

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Nickles:: You know I have a bad feeling about this...but I don't think it's some massive conspiracy...

STSF_BluRox -> Someone contact that rescue team, and find out why we've not returned yet

Heather Jamieson -> :: to her two colorful friends :: I think we are slowing down.

STSF_BluRox -> ::if she wasn't amused before, she truly was becoming less so now, ears starting to pin themselves back a bit in annoyance::

Jameson Bardolph -> That's not ten minutes yet. Why they cutting the engines? :;feeling the change in the vibrations of the bulkhead::

August Jax Robinson -> ::is behind Big Cat, Nudges Will::

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION> The vehicle comes to a stop.

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> Interesting... I don’t think we're quite out of the ... oh we stopped?

August Jax Robinson -> Did we just stop?! ::Sits up::

Christina_Nickles -> ::sounds like a 10 year old:: Are we there yet??

LtCmdrRobinson -> +Stevens+ Problem? Last time we stopped, bad things happened.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::thwaps Christina::

Heather Jamieson -> Seems so Ayumu.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::opens one eye, then the other, then leans forward in his seat, tensing up automatically::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Stevens>::pops open the cockpit door:: Welcome back folks. If you'll gather your personal belongings and step through the rear exit, you can enter the visitor center.

Christina_Nickles -> :: smacks Johnson back:: THAT Wasn’t nice.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::and then lets his breath out sharply at Stevens' entrance::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Avoids the swat ::

Christina_Nickles -> :: gathers her things and heads to the exit:: GLADLY!!!

Jameson Bardolph -> ::stands up::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::follows the others out::

Christina_Nickles -> :: steps to the door and peers out before actually stepping out::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::heads for the door with the others::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Stands and gets her things as well, but lets others leave first ::

Christina_Nickles -> :: exits and enters the visitors Center::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::exits with the Wife®::

STSF_BluRox -> ::trying hard not to thwap half of them either for their behavior::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Stevens>::makes note of the fact that the crew leaves his shuttle faster than they entered it::

Tory Knight -> ::brow furrows as she watches Bardolph, noting the tension::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Holds Will's hand, stays close::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::gathers her stuff and heads out with the others::

STSF_BluRox -> ::remembers seeing an old Terran comedian troupe.....the Three morons or something like that, all slapping each other as well::

LtCdrJohnson -> Well that was...fun....

Christina_Nickles -> Id rather be back on the Republic in the brig painting it again than take another trip like that one.

Tory Knight -> ::standing as well, and filing out toward the end of the pack::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to Stevens as she was about ready to leave:: I expect a report within the hour, explaining what went wrong and why part of the ship is missing. Have it forwarded to me on the Republic asap

Ayumu Kasuga -> I did want to see Bioluminescent Bay though.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Stevens> Um. Okay?

STSF_BluRox -> , send a copy to Knight here as well

Heather Jamieson -> :: to Ayumu :: I think we are Bioluminescent bay

Christina_Nickles -> Ayumu just look at us and you will see enough Bioluminescences

Jameson Bardolph -> ::steps off the shuttle, rubbing the back of his neck absently and looking around::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::chuckles despite herself::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::to Stevens:: Anything like this ever happen before? Any sort of trouble with the vehicles?

LtCdrJohnson -> ::listens into the confrontation between Will and Stevens::

Christina_Nickles -> :: heading to the main desk at the center:: Where do we go to get out of here?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Stevens> No. Never heard of something like this before. I wonder if you all got caught on something.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Stevens:: Can you send us the engineering specifications of those transport vehicles?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Stevens>I suppose.

Christina_Nickles -> :: stands at the desk waiting for the others to get there

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Stevens:: It would be good to know how they function, if for no other reason than to determine how they can break down

Capt Rian Kwai -> Stevens>::glances at his shuttle:: Nothing unusual about these.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Stevens:: Yeah...we have them back on Earth.. except ours don't, you know, break in half...

LtCmdrRobinson -> Well perhaps we should be moving on back to our ship then, you folks have enough to do without us being in your way.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::smirks and heads off to get his stuff::

August Jax Robinson -> I agree with Will ::for once::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Stevens> Thanks. ::nods to Robinson::

STSF_BluRox -> Someone call and arrange for beamup please

Ayumu Kasuga -> Won't argue with that

Christina_Nickles -> :: walks back towards the group::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::follows the others back to the group::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Walks beside Ayumu ::

August Jax Robinson -> +Republic+ This is the away team, get us out of here!

Ayumu Kasuga -> Oh oh.. right.

STSF_BluRox -> Ops...right?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yes..

Jameson Bardolph -> ::leans against the bulkhead waiting for pickup::

August Jax Robinson -> ::ponders:: away team.. vacation team... Trapped team

Capt Rian Kwai -> Republic>+Jax+ Prepare for beam up.

August Jax Robinson -> I need a vacation from this vacation

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::prepares to standby for beam up::

August Jax Robinson -> +Republic+ I am SO ready

Ayumu Kasuga -> So do I.

Ayumu Kasuga -> +Republic+ We're ready here.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Yells:: everyone stand by to leave this

STSF_BluRox -> (Why am I seeing Bardolph like some guy in a 30's pulp fiction story, leaning up against a post smoking a cigarette...with a trench coat and fedora

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::wants to go back in the cave with an EVA suit and lots of weapons::

Christina_Nickles -> ::thinks thank goodness :: Ill be glad to get back to the ship no matter WHAT Program will has in store for us.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye sir!

Heather Jamieson -> Understood.

Christina_Nickles -> :: to Will:: Cmdr Robinson permission to report to sickbay to get this checked out? ::showing him her blue fingers::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::heads to the sickbay::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::nods at Nickles::

Jameson Bardolph -> Tory> ::glances at her as they deshimmer on the pad:: Don't rightly know, to be honest. I feel like there was a bit in there where...well, to be honest, I think I lost about a half hour.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Jax:: I'll be in engineering

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::looking over reports on diagnostics the B team has been running while the A team has been having a lovely vacation::

Jameson Bardolph -> Heatstroke had me dizzy maybe. ::trying this explanation on for size::

Christina_Nickles -> :: walks with the other 2 to go to Medical::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::heads for a TL::

 

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: In medical....Nurse Betty is preparing the special....Denubian Leaches, that they're going to try sticking ALL OVER the spotted ones..

 

STSF_BluRox -> (now which of you were sitting the longest in the ship?_

Tory Knight -> It *was* warm in there... ::draws out the answer, not quite sure she believes it::

August Jax Robinson -> I will be with my Husband, make sure nothing has changed since we left

Christina_Nickles -> ((YIKES!!!)))

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::willing to try anything at this point::

Heather Jamieson -> Christina, I am sorry to grab your hand like that. At least your fingers were warm

Christina_Nickles -> ((Heather... points: :))

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looks at her fingers:: I see that too

LtCmdrRobinson -> I need a nap.

Christina_Nickles -> I’m still afraid of the color.

LtCmdrRobinson -> And a shower

August Jax Robinson -> ::Leans head on Will:: only a nap

Christina_Nickles -> ::enters sickbay::

Heather Jamieson -> Too bad there are no images of the color changes. :: enters ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Flirty smile::

Jameson Bardolph -> Yeah. ::frowns:: I dunno. Still feel like I could dump a bucket of cold water over my head. So maybe that was it.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Let's see what the doctors can do about it. ::enters sickbay::

Christina_Nickles -> IM glad there isn’t.

Tory Knight -> Maybe some rest and a cold shower?

STSF_BluRox -> Nurse Betty> Holding up a 10" leech with a pair of forceps :: Oh good, you came to give them a try!

Jameson Bardolph -> ::chuckles:: Aye. Best cure for all life's worst problems.

Christina_Nickles -> ::sees the snake like creature:: Give them a try????

STSF_BluRox -> Nurse Betty> We're going to need to lay you down, and apply them where you have your heaviest concentration of pigment

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks at the leech::Yippy ::sarcastically::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Gives Will *the Look* ::

Heather Jamieson -> No. :: to the nurse ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::heads off with the wife® to earn his nap::

Christina_Nickles -> ::eyes get big:: Your what????

STSF_BluRox -> Nurse Betty> But of course, we let the little beasties bite onto you, and they suck some of the blood and fluids out of you...we're hoping that they'll pull some of that…stuff,

August Jax Robinson -> ::Smiles and follows him::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::enters engineering::

STSF_BluRox -> Nurse Betty> Now I understand from the report we got from Dr Sen......

Tory Knight -> I'll see you later, then?

Christina_Nickles -> Ummmm I dont know ...how safe are those things?? ::hates snakes::

STSF_BluRox -> Nurse Betty> Dr Tisa said it might be the best chance to keep this from being permanent

Ayumu Kasuga -> Fine.. let's do it.

Christina_Nickles -> Ayumu you go first then.

Ayumu Kasuga -> The guinea pig as always. ::lays down in the bio bed as previously indicated:

Christina_Nickles -> Ill try it on my blue fingers

 

Jameson Bardolph -> ::trying to shake it off:: You holdin' up OK?

STSF_BluRox -> Nurse Betty> Now the Dr said two of you were outside the ship and the heat may have made it move to the extremities more....but that one person mainly sat in the ship. I’m afraid that person, may have to have them attached to their back or....posterior region

Christina_Nickles -> I’m worried I’m losing the circulation

Tory Knight -> ::shrugs a shoulder:: A bit stiff, a bit bored... but well-educated, at least.

STSF_BluRox -> Nurse Betty> Oh no...that's not how leeches work...their saliva is an anticoagulant, it will actually help you bleed more

Christina_Nickles -> I was outside. ::hops up on the biobed showing her fingers::

Heather Jamieson -> :: not on Bio bed ::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::chuckles:: Well, hey, looks like you came out of it with net gain.

Tory Knight -> I'll take what I can get out of the...adventure.

Ayumu Kasuga -> I think that was me. You were outside were you Heather?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Bites Will::

STSF_BluRox -> Nurse Betty> Well, you and Ms Kasuga please lay down, and we'll attach a few of these beasties as a test......

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::lies down::

STSF_BluRox -> Nurse Betty> ::looks up at Heather:: Don't tell me you're afraid of a little worm?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Calm yourself, woman. Wait till we make it to our quarters.

Christina_Nickles -> :: reluctantly lays down:: I hate snakes

STSF_BluRox -> Nurse Betty> Starts sticking leaches on Christina and Ayumu's fingers

Jameson Bardolph -> Just as well. As I somehow doubt we're actually going to get real answers. ::shakes head::

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

Ayumu Kasuga -> I thought it was a leach, not a snake

Jameson Bardolph -> ::pawsors::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Paused::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused::

Christina_Nickles -> ::paused::

STSF_BluRox -> We'll get the fingers first, then the toes...then....someone else gets to help...Heather wtih her issue!

STSF_BluRox -> lol

Ayumu Kasuga -> lol

Capt Rian Kwai -> Any questions?

August Jax Robinson -> can I make another baby?
