USS Republic - May 20 2013

[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51305.20 - Season 21 After years of the crew wishing that they be allowed back on Risa, after the adventure in the underground caverns that threatened to 'toast' them, and left them in a ship missing it's forward compartment until they were rescued....they now find themselves wishing that they were elsewhere. Intent on solving this mystery, and contacting the fleet to let them know we'd be staying longer, evidently someone as decided to send us some new orders......

 

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

Heather Jamieson -> :: Sitting in her quarters, looking into a mirror ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::presumably back on the bridge, wearing some gloves to hide her glowy hands::

 

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: INCOMING MESSAGE TO THE REPUBLIC

 

Jameson Bardolph -> ::has dozed off with his feet up in the Security office, a PADD of his research on the Risan caverns still glowing on his lap::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Incoming hail.

STSF_BluRox -> On screen

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye sir. ::taps her console:: On screen now.

 

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: ADMIRAL CALVERT APPEARS ON THE SCREEN

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::had dozed off in bed::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Jabs Will::

STSF_BluRox -> ::Stands:: Admiral

Jameson Bardolph -> ((sec team is peppy today))

Heather Jamieson -> :: Gets into a uniform for duty ::

Christina_Nickles -> :: heading back to Security after the first round of treatment that seems to be working, have to wait a short time for the remainder::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::sits attentively, glad she was wearing her gloves::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Jabs Will again:: you are snoring!

STSF_BluRox -> Admiral Calvert> :: waves at her to take a seat:: We've read your report, and we've decided to have a dedicated science and security team come in and investigate the phenomenon that your away team encountered on the planet

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::snorts:: Whaaa?

STSF_BluRox -> But Admiral, our teams have already put some study into this, and I don't feel right just leaving...

August Jax Robinson -> stop snoring ::Pinches his nose closed::

STSF_BluRox -> Admiral Calvert> Easy BluRox......it's nothing against your teams. We have a more important mission that we need for you to undertake.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Checks her hair, leaves her quarters ::

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> You're sure it's not because you're afraid we'll have another incident on Risa is it..?

Christina_Nickles -> ::enters Security and heads to the patrol board.::

STSF_BluRox -> Admiral Calvert> Well, it did come up in conversation, but no....we seriously have something we need your crew to do, and more importantly, your shuttles.

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Our shuttles?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Heads to the lift :: Astrometrics.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::knocks her hand away:: Stop it

Jameson Bardolph -> ::snaps abruptly awake, head jerking forward; knocks padd onto floor with a clatter::

STSF_BluRox -> Admiral Calvert> Please...let me finish, then you can ask. We have a situation in the Hovius Sector. As you know, it's a large asteroid belt, housing some of the top grade diliium mining right now, and a lot of credits have been put into establishing extractors, processing plants and settlements in this area, that are resistant to the shifts in the asteroid field.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::rolls on his side so he won’t snore::

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> And... ::stops, remembering not to ask::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Rides on the lift, two others get on and stare ::

Jameson Bardolph -> Oww... ::realizing he has a hearty crick in his neck now in addition to everything else::

Christina_Nickles -> Are you ok Bardolph?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::wraps his arms around Jax:: Lets go back to sleep. Wake me up if I start drooling on you.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Snores::

STSF_BluRox -> Admiral Calvert> As I was saying, there is a problem. A rather large comet, and I mean large, is heading directly for the main settlements. It's too big to disrupt, or try to move without something like a star going nova....and we don't want to do that either. So what we need to do, is to try to evacuate as many of the settlements and platforms as possible. we also need ships to try to remove as much of the dilitium as possible from the plants as well. Should that much go up, it risks tearing subspace in the area, and could disrupt warp travel for decades to come

 

Jameson Bardolph -> Uh...yeah. Fine. ::turns to look at her, a little bleary from his inadvertent nap:: Anything happening?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks at them :: It's a skin condition. :: gets out ::

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> : looks to Ayumu to make sure she's recording all of this. And I assume, we need to head in and get it out?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Nods back, confirming that recorders are active::

STSF_BluRox -> Admiral Calvert> The field is very dense, you won't be able to take the Republic directly in, but your shuttles can maneuver, and can transport goods and people to your ship. I'm sending the coordinates and information to your Ops officer now. You need to get underway in the next 30 minutes

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Stands by the coordinates:

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Understood Admiral. We'll do what we can before it gets there. I'll update you on our situation as we progress. is there anything else sir?

Christina_Nickles -> Not that I can see. I don’t see the Commander around so I was checking the patrol chart.

STSF_BluRox -> Admiral Calvert> No...just that you still owe me dinner for losing that bet. I'll expect a home cooked meal up by the lake next time you're back on Earth.

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> You cheated....you should be cooking for me. But....I think I can make something. Let me inform my crew so we can get underway. Good hearing from you again Admiral.

STSF_BluRox -> Admiral Calvert> Good luck to you all. Calvert out.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Toast and marmalade?::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to Ayumu:: Please call a meeting of all senior staff and their direct reports.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Walks to the center Astrometrics console. It's been a long time since she sat here::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye sir. I also have the coordinates Admiral Calvert sent me.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Snores right in Will's ear, then mumbles::

STSF_BluRox -> Briefing room in 10 minutes. Also issue a general recall to our teams on the surface, mainly Captain Kwai and inform them we are about to get underway and they need to report for new orders. I'll be in my ready room until the meeting...

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::in a dead sleep so is not bothered::

Ayumu Kasuga -> +Dep't Heads+ Please convene in the Briefing Room in 10 minutes for a meeting there.

Heather Jamieson -> (That was a pretty good recall of the Captain)

Jameson Bardolph -> ((rofl))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((heya Cap :) ))

Christina_Nickles -> ((That was GOOD Blu )))

Capt Rian Kwai -> (Hey guys)

STSF_BluRox -> (Dang...I'm good, eh!?)

Christina_Nickles -> (( Call her back and there she is YOUR Good)))

Ayumu Kasuga -> +Surface Teams+ Please report back to the Republic ASAP for general recall and new orders. Thank you.

Ayumu Kasuga -> (And yes... that was good)

Heather Jamieson -> :: Sees a senior staff meeting, enjoying the silence of this room ::

Jameson Bardolph -> Good deal, good deal. ::gives her a sideways look:: And...uh...how you feeling?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::whines:: Noooooo. Meeting.

Christina_Nickles -> A little weak from the blood that those leech thing were taking along with the color. But I’m not complaining, I’m almost back to normal.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::peeks under her glove and looks at her hands and sighs::

STSF_BluRox -> ::enters ready room and pulls up the maps and information Calvert sent her::

August Jax Robinson -> does that mean I have to put clothes on?

Christina_Nickles -> I’m scheduled to be on Patrol in section c I better get going.

LtCmdrRobinson -> We probably should. ::gets up, starts to pull on his uniform::

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> :::entering the bridge and heading towards the conference room, rubbing the bridge of her nose as she does::

Christina_Nickles -> :: picks up a phaser and moves towards the main Security doors to begin her patrol::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Pulls up a map of local space ::

Jameson Bardolph -> All right. Good luck.

STSF_BluRox -> :: closes the terminal down and heads to the briefing room::

Christina_Nickles -> Thanks :: exits and starts down the corridor::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::decides to head to the briefing room as well once her replacement comes in to replace her::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::throws some boots at her:: lets go, lady.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::takes a step inside the conference room::

STSF_BluRox -> ::enters the briefing room right behind Rian::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Grabs some clothes:: you suck

Heather Jamieson -> :: Twirls Risa and the local system around. Comets and other objects in view ::

Christina_Nickles -> :: enters the lift:: deck ##

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::sends a message to Heather:: MEETING!!! ::rounds a bend and heads to a corridor to the Briefing Room::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Admiral ::nods, then takes her seat::

STSF_BluRox -> Good evening Rian

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Enters the briefing room and takes a seat::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::heads for a lift with the Wife®::

Heather Jamieson -> :: replies back to Kasuga :: I'm not senior staff. You sure?

Christina_Nickles -> ::exits and starts walking the corridor::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Closes up her observations just in case ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Carrying boots in her hands:: What do you think this meeting will be about?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Gets ready to leave her post, sighs ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::responds back:: "They said Department Chiefs and an assistant. I think you're also included. I'd try to get a seat in the back if I were you

LtCmdrRobinson -> End of the galaxy stuff, like always. How should I know?

Christina_Nickles -> :: nodding to passing crew::

Heather Jamieson -> :: exits Astrometrics and enters a lift :: Conference room level.

STSF_BluRox -> (sorry, we trying to give the new player directions how to come watch)

Heather Jamieson -> :: Gets ogled by another life occupant ::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks at him :: It's all over.

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, well I guess we can get started, someone will have to catch up those that are late

Heather Jamieson -> :: The lift stops, the other occupant gets out ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::enters the meeting and finds a seat, hopes they arnt too late::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::leans back in her chair::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::belatedly realizing he as well as the chief has been paged, barrels out of security office and into a lift like a kid late to class::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looks at the Admiral, and reclines in her seat::

Heather Jamieson -> ::Exits to the conference room level...walks a bit and enters the conference room ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Takes a seat, puts her boots down next to her::

STSF_BluRox -> If you pull up on your padds, the new orders sent to us by Admiral Calvert. There is no reason for me to rehash them word for word…you have the instructions there.

Christina_Nickles -> :: making the loop of the corridor takes the stairs to the next level::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods at Heather, not that she's too difficult to spot::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Takes a seat up front, grabs her padd and reads ::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Gives Kasuga a closed smile ::

 

STSF_BluRox -> In a nutshell......Monstrously huge comet, getting ready to hit one of our prime diliitum mining and processing settlements and if it goes up with all the ore that we have stored there, it could rip subspace bad enough to disrupt space travel through this sector for decades. Worse case, it could cause a tear that begins to disruput nearby sectors as well. There are too many planets and such in these sectors to let them become stranded. So, the field is thick, very dense, so we can't directly take the ship in

Jameson Bardolph -> ::takes lift rapidly to conference room; slows down just outside the door and walks in as nonchalantly as possible::

Ayumu Kasuga -> :;turns to the Admiral, rubs his in concern::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Smiles big, something more up her alley ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::reads over the data::

Ayumu Kasuga -> :::Looking over the data::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks over the details::

Christina_Nickles -> :: exits the stairs on her next deck and begins walking::

Capt Rian Kwai -> (q)That's so not good.

STSF_BluRox -> So what we need to do, is we will be assigning you each to a shuttle or ship, to help evacuate personnel, families, settlements ect. Some of you will be towing some of the processing platforms out of there, we can't afford to lose that tech either.This thing, is about the side of Mars, we will not be able to move it.....several ships would not be able to move it.....luckily, it is pointed back out into deep space, so it's just this one area we have to concentrate on. I will have Capt Kwai come up with the ship assignments for each of you. You will also each be assigned a few support crew (based upon size of the ship you are assigned to). Will, you will of course...get the Unicorn, since it was especially decorated for you. It will be important that you all communicate as a team, so that we do not duplicate efforts or forget anything or anyone.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::listening as he finds a seat::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Outstanding ::sarcasm::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Wonders if she will pilot again. The Admiral made it to Risa safely under her piloting skills ::

STSF_BluRox -> Any questions?

Heather Jamieson -> :: raises hand ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::at least this mission is more up her alley, looks at Heather::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to the multicolored one::

Heather Jamieson -> How much time will we have and how many people do we need to rescue?

STSF_BluRox -> Yes? ::noticing that Ayumu and Christina are virtually back to normal, but Heather is not...

Christina_Nickles -> :: continues her patrol stopping to talk to an off duty security officer for a moment:

August Jax Robinson -> :::Makes a few notes::

Capt Rian Kwai -> I would say whatever time you think you have......cut that in half. We're going to need to work quickly, but deliberately here. No USS Chaos business.

 

STSF_BluRox -> There are close to 1200 personnel in the sector, and we will only have the better part of a week to do so. The Republic will also be ferrying refugees back and forth out of the system while you are off retrieving more. As I said, see Capt Kwai, she will assign you to your ships.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Nods::

STSF_BluRox -> If that is all, we'll get underway, we don’t' have time to lose. Ayumu...to the bridge with me to get underway.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye sir

STSF_BluRox -> :: turns and leaves them with Kwai::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::nods understanding::

Christina_Nickles -> :: continues down the corridor towards the conference area:::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::looks to Kwai as the Admiral leaves::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::leaves as well to the bridge::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks to the Captain ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> I'll have assignments for everyone within the next half hour sent to your PADD's. Any other questions?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Giggles at Heather's appearance::

STSF_BluRox -> ::passing Will:: Don’t worry, I had some cup holders installed in the Unicorn for you...

Jameson Bardolph -> No, ma'am.

STSF_BluRox -> (Christina, did you just skip my meeting!? OMG, Kwai's going to skin you!)

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::smiles:: Thank you kindly

Christina_Nickles -> (( Ayumu said 1 assistant and Barcode is a higher rank than I))

Ayumu Kasuga -> (I said that to Heather)

STSF_BluRox -> (:::facepalm:: I said and assistants)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (lulz)

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((::faceplant::))

Heather Jamieson -> :: Studies her PADD ::

Christina_Nickles -> :: sees others leaving the meeting and steps in and over to Bardolph:: anything interesting?

Jameson Bardolph -> ::shrugs at Nickles:: It sounds like we've got a busy few days ahead of us.

STSF_BluRox -> (only Ayumu and I left, Kwai is giving out assignments)

STSF_BluRox -> (last call)

Heather Jamieson -> :: Walks by Jax and Will :: Hello Will. :: exits the conference room ::

Christina_Nickles -> May I? ::pointing to the padd:::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Slaps Heather::

STSF_BluRox -> (So Heather left without her assignment too....Kwai's going to be busy)

Heather Jamieson -> You are a mean person. :: rubs her shoulder ::

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::lays head on table::

Christina_Nickles -> ::paused::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((Kwai told us she'd have them within a half hour :/ ))

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::bangs head on table::

Heather Jamieson -> (no no, assignments to be sent to our padds)

August Jax Robinson -> ::Paused::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Yes, but she didn't dismiss you yet :P))

STSF_BluRox -> (Well, I'm not there, so I don't have to deal with her…you all do....good luck with that!)

STSF_BluRox -> (Ayumu...don’t' worry, we'll get you your own little ship to fly too if you like!)

August Jax Robinson -> saying I am mean is a complement to me

Heather Jamieson -> (oh well)

Ayumu Kasuga -> Sweet!

STSF_BluRox -> that looks like Complain...not compliment)

STSF_BluRox -> lol

STSF_BluRox -> OK>..one last thing...

STSF_BluRox -> Next week is Memorial Day, as some of our crew has already told me they'll be away on vacation, and I'm traveling too, we will be taking off next week

STSF_BluRox -> So you may get some sleep or read or something

Ayumu Kasuga -> OOh

STSF_BluRox -> So...no sim next week, Yes Sim week after

STSF_BluRox -> And thanks to Ayumu for showing up tonight on HIS Holiday

Ayumu Kasuga -> XD

STSF_BluRox -> any questions?

Heather Jamieson -> None here.

LtCmdrRobinson -> no boss

Ayumu Kasuga -> Nope

STSF_BluRox -> ok then...

Capt Rian Kwai -> Muhahahaha

STSF_BluRox -> So we'll see you all in two weeks, feel free to log, and Kwai will be putting ship assignments up on the boards if you want to complain about what you got

STSF_BluRox -> except Will..he's got a permanent assignment

STSF_BluRox -> and with that..Crew dismissed
