USS Republic - January 13, 2014

[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51401.13 - Season 22 The crew continues to investigate the lovely planet that appears to be a perfect paradise, and an away team has been dispatched to explore it firsthand. Could they have really found the perfect planet for a peaceful, relaxing shore leave at last? And why hadn't the Federation found this place before? The most recent surveys of this region only listed rocky, harsh and mostly unpleasant hot or cold balls of sand, rock and/or ice.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Tackles Will::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::tackled:: I’m trying to work here, woman!

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::walking in the grass near the others, looking at the foliage::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> ::looks back to see if Tory and Christina want to join her::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::is up on the ship, hoping that Holly doesn't kill Heather as that would be bad for her reputation::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() come on Will.. relax, this place is perfect

Tory Knight -> ((Gimme one sec, folks. Dealing with some RL stuff. ))

Holly> Now.....Heather..... Tell me once again, why it is that every time you get near Commander Robinson....the engineer ......you seem compelled to antagonize her? Is it out of boredom?

STSF_BluRox -> (np)

Heather Jamieson -> You know Holly, I'm not going to answer any loaded questions such as those. :: hips her coffee ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() We haven’t yet cleared the area. Its perfect until something eats somebody, and then not so much.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> :: walking with the admiral trying NOT to loose her again::

Holly> So, insubordination then? You were ordered to attend counseling sessions, yet you don't wish to willingly participate? Come on....you can tell me the truth....there's a few here I don't mind antagonizing every now and again

Heather Jamieson -> Not when the counselor is stacking the reality of the situation against me no.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Frowns at Will::

Holly> I see....::makes a check on her clipboard:: So, if you don't care for questions. Why don't you tell me in your own words then?

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> This is lovely here, isn't it?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> It is pretty Yes sir. ::looking around Curiously::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() I like it so far.

Heather Jamieson -> Putting it simply, she thought I was trying to get her husband, she didn't like it. We'll likely never get along.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> it's almost picture perfect. And look over at that ridge, there looks to be some sort of fruit trees there...something perhaps like a mango

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() All the sensor scans show good, just waiting on word from Tory if the water quality is good enough. Still no large life signs on the sensors, so thats good.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() Sooooo.... swimming?!

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> I’m not saying I don’t like it, But I’m leery ... the reports from the last time this place was visited, aren’t adding up.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() You want to go in for a dip to see if the water's warm? ::to Jax::

Holly> Well, you do seem to taunt her and continue to flirt with her husband. Knowing the situation, don't you find it wise to just not push the matter? You do have to work with them both.

Tory Knight -> ((Okay. Sorry about that. =\ ))

Heather Jamieson -> She's punched me in the eye, pulled my hair and assaulted me in her own department.

STSF_BluRox -> (np_

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Smiles at Ayumu:: Love to

Heather Jamieson -> I do NOT flirt with him. You are stacking reality against me...counselor. Where are you getting your 'facts' anyhow?

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() The water is very clear.

Holly> Just observations I've made.

August Jax Robinson -> {{Heather, Holly can do instant replays}}

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::walks over to Ayumu, hoping Will didn't hear, since the water hasn't been cleared yet::

Heather Jamieson -> {{ I would imagine she can }}

Holly> You seem to be getting rather....antagonized. Perhaps it's time to stop for now. Why don't we resume this later and let you get back to the bridge to do your scans and report to Kwai

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() No one is swimming until we get that water quality report from Knight. ::hears everything::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Gets up without a word ::

STSF_BluRox -> (slow mo and with John Madden's telestrator)

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::having taken the samples, runs them through the appropriate testing procedures::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Sits at science and logs in ::

Holly> :: sends a simple report to KwaI that Heather has successfully attended her first session, with more to follow::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::looks into the water to see if any little fishes or crustaceans swim by::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() It's water Will... relax

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> I'd like to go look at that ridgeline and those fruit trees, they seem fairly evenly spaced........

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::kneeling by the waters' edge, looking at the horizon as the tests run::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() I swam in Lake Superior once. It was cold but nice.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Brings up a planetary scan, temperature, humidity, etc ::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() come and stop meeeeeeee ::Teasing Will::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> :: fishy, fishy, fishy::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> Aye Sir

STSF_BluRox -> (I just got cold 'thinking ' of that Ayumu!! brrr)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Heh)

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Yeah I remember water from my first away mission when we crashed into a lake. Good times. Except for the thing in there that tried to eat us.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looking up historical data, if any ::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> You need to lighten up a little Christina. There is caution, but one also has to learn to enjoy some beauty when you can find it.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::raises a brow:: I see you made it back alive.

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::the tricorder thweeps beside her, bringing her attention back from the horizon::

Heather Jamieson -> It was not a good session Captain.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() I don't remember that Hun

 

COMPUTER> This region had never been fully mapped, just noted that there were some major stars with some planetary bodies

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> Yes sir :: thinks But if I let anything happen to you Will WILL kill me.::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Turning her attention to historical records, distant scans, etc :: Captain, permission to launch an orbital probe to gather additional readings.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Resources have been dedicated to repairing the ship. Until that's completed, you'll have to depend on current sensor readings.

Heather Jamieson -> Aye... :: continues her readings ::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::looks down at the results, noting the sediment content with some interest::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() You are crazy Will

Holly> ::puts a message on Heathers screen:: Tsk tsk...it wasn't that bad.........

Heather Jamieson -> :: Sees the message ::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Starts working her way up the ridge..

Heather Jamieson -> :: swipes it away, turns her attention to the system's sun ::

Holly> :: makes a smiley face on the graphic of the sun

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() You just now figuring that, dear?

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::looking back at the horizon, and the terrain, noting areas where runoff was likely to occur::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Any specific readings of the planet we need to be worried about?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() I am going in, better come and Stop ME!

Heather Jamieson -> Not so far. A very temperate class M. Sun is in great shape, as G type stars go. Tectonic activity is minimal...not a particularly crowded asteroid system.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Hmmm...looks like there might be some sort of cave network here as well...

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::stands near the water, and enjoys the breeze coming off it::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::closing up her kit, moves toward another location to take a few soil samples::

Heather Jamieson -> I hope to compile the away team's data as well.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> Sir I wouldn’t advise going inside.

Heather Jamieson -> And for that reason, I'm worried. I'll keep looking.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> We'll see, I want to check out that fruit first.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Worried for what reason?

Heather Jamieson -> Our crew, pristine planet?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> ::nods and follows the Admiral::

Capt Rian Kwai -> And?

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::keeping her eyes peeled as she moves down a path toward an open field::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() Tory, how is the water... Will is ::air quotes:: "worried"

Heather Jamieson -> That's it.. I shall relay the findings as I get them

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> ::makes way to top of ridge and turns to take in the view:: Breathtaking......I still can't believe nobody has found this. That, or someone's in the process of making this perfect..... Call down and ask Lt Knight if she can join us up here when she has the time.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Ops, let's make sure you maintain transporter lock on the away team.

Tory Knight -> ((Jax, have you followed me along my little stroll to take samples? ))

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()>+Knight+ Nickels to Knight the admiral would like you to join us on the ridge when you get time

Heather Jamieson -> :: A high resolution image of the planet appears on corner of the main viewer, various data points appear in the same window ::

August Jax Robinson -> {{no :( }}

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() oh look Will.... Troy said it's fine ::Liar::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::kneeling and opening her kit in the field:: +Nickles+ Understood. Will be there presently. ::as she begins taking samples::

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() You know you make a face when you lie, right?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> ::nods to Blu making sure she heard the answer::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() I know you make a face when you lie

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> ::looks out over the edge:: It is beautiful.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> :: walks over towards the fruit trees:: Not rows per say.....as if an orchard, but well-spaced as well. I'd almost suspect these were planted as some point to blend in with the surroundings, yet be apart enough to prevent overgrowth. :: Reaches up to retrieve a piece of fruit:: Smells it...

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::taking her samples, and scanning, not totally surprised by what she found::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Since I know I'd probably give you and Will a coronary if I just bite this...would you mind? ::pulls out a small knife and cuts a slice from the fruit::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> Sir I wouldn’t eat that if I were you It hasn’t been tested

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::makes a face::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() +Tory+ is it safe to go in the water ::Makes a face at Will::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> It looks ok but I wouldn’t until Lt Knight tests it first.

Ayumu Kasuga -> @#$%^&*() ::exploring the grassy area near Will and Jax::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> You do have a tricorder? ::holds out slice on knife::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> ::: pulls out her tricorder:: Yes sir.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> You know how to use one, right? Not just carry it?

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::squints at the screen::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> Yes sir but I have to reset it. It’s not set to Science at the moment.

Ayumu Kasuga -> @#$%^&*() ::Looking up at the top where the Admiral is::

LtCmdrRobinson -> (Nickles, pull out your PHASER and say 'This is my tricorder')

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> ::sniffs it:: Smells ok

LtCmdrRobinson -> (and then scan it with your phaser!)

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Wait, you can't use a tricorder?

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() +Jax+ The water is safe, but has a somewhat higher sulfur content. Do make sure you shower afterward, lest the entire ship smell of rotten eggs. ::smirking::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::packing her kit and heading to meet the admiral and Nickles on the ridge::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> Yes sir I can

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> I'll have to speak with Robinson to make sure he properly trains his people. Seems he's slacking. What would you do if you were stranded?

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

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> ::looks down the path, evading the question:: Look here comes Lt Knight

STSF_BluRox -> (Holly> Will's going to be in trouble!!)

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() it doesn't smell like fart water...

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> :: lets the fruit drip onto the ground.:: Does not appear to be acid....

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::sighs at his wife::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> ::sighs, tried to include the young officer, but she's so nervous, she could not check fruit. Worries what will happen if she ever gets into a real stressful situation....::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() I was drunk when I married her ::to himself::

Heather Jamieson -> Captain? I can expand the image

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> ::Waves to Lt Knight:: Up here Tory......

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> ::sighs a sigh of relief that Lt Knight is here and the Admiral didn’t just take a bite of the fruit::

August Jax Robinson -> {{I am way out of your league buddy, you married up!!}}

 

 

STSF_BluRox -> (oh enjoy the vacation you two!)

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::decides to leave the two lovebirds alone and follows Tory up the hill::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Wishes she was back on Caldos ::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Tory, I've found this lovely fruit grove, and was wondering if you would take a quick scan of the fruit for me. It's rather similar to a mango::

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::nods:: Of course. ::withdrawing her tricorder from the holster and activating the appropriate scan::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> Thank you, I've been dying for a bite. But my young escort here, would have had a coronary had I not waited. It smells fresh and sweet though. There is a whole grove up here, all about the same size and age in growth.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> My apologies sir just following protocol.

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::scanning, tapping a few commands after completing the scan::

Heather Jamieson -> Captain, do you like cinnamon rolls?

Capt Rian Kwai -> You can certainly expand the image.

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() It does appear to be edible, though I can't guarantee it will taste as you expect it.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> We've also found a few caves further along the ridge that I'd like to check out as well. I thought you might be interested in that after we try some of this

Heather Jamieson -> :: Expands the image to take half of the main viewer ::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> ::slices off another bit, and takes a bite: Oh...that's good....Really good.

Tory Knight -> !@#$%^&*() ::closes the tricorder:: Though its presence here seems to further hint at a hypothesis about this area having been terra-formed at some point in its history::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> ::waves down to Will:: Holding up the fruit and taking another bite!!

August Jax Robinson -> ::Pushes Ayumu into the water::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()> I think I might have to agree with you Tory.....it's almost too perfect and all similar aged growth...

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*()> ::smiles as it looks like the Admiral is tempting Mr Robinson::

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

Christina_Nickles -> :: paused::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused, apparently wet::

STSF_BluRox -> Yea!! We survived another night on the planet. With nothing drastic jumping out at us!!

August Jax Robinson -> ::Paused:::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::psd::

STSF_BluRox -> Thank you all for coming tonight!! Good sim...and we saw that Heather. With the Cinnamon roll!

STSF_BluRox -> Any questions before we break for the night?
