USS Challenger 03.23.2014

[STSF Jami 0]

Cptn Ja'Lale -> 03 July, 2297: Last week, the Challenger Away Team visited the Klingon city which was adversely affected by the Praxis explosion four years prior. The team collected samples and set up equipment to check radiation levels. TBS was 2 hours and the team has completed their work. They will return to the Challenger to analyse their samples and radiation levels. Questions?

H.G. Reed -> :: Checks the console settings. ::

Cassie Granger -> ::Kal:: Move on down to MARDET and check in with Lt. Sylvanis.

Hunter Matheson -> Yes, ma'am.

Hunter Matheson -> ::smart spin on his heel, acknowledges the captain and exits the bridge::

Derrick Sabin -> ::spot reading the data as it transfers, can't help but feel confused. Of course there is still radation. Were the Klingons hoping for a miracle or something? :::

Hunter Matheson -> Marine Deck.

Cassie Granger -> ::takes a deep breath to clear her mind, then checks all parameters::

Hunter Matheson -> ::exits on the marine deck::

Gretchen Hanson -> ::finally finishes her log entry and begins reading up on another matter:::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ACTION: The team analysing the radiation samples and readings from the equipment detect high amounts of radiation and contaminants in the ground and in other samples. Signs looks as if re-habitation not possible for at least 100-200 years.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> With current technology, that is.

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Slips out of the flightsuit as she pull out a pair of shorts and a tanktop from the locker.::

Cassie Granger -> (Ouch, Captain.)

Derrick Sabin -> (where's Q when you need him?)

Cassie Granger -> (Right)

Cptn Ja'Lale -> (Yeah, Chernobyl won't be able to be re-populated for like 500 years?)

Dyan Sylvanis -> ((Not that anyone would really want to repopulate there.))

Cptn Ja'Lale -> (Very true)

H.G. Reed -> :: Makes a small correction. ::

John Randall -> ::a beep sounds on the monitor; he checks it, and finds the radiation levels outside the ship are beginning to rise; considers calling the bridge for an orbital adjustment::

Cassie Granger -> ::Reed:: Can you calculate several exit vectors as a precaution. There's a lot of Klingon BoP traffic in the area and I'm not sure what's going on.

H.G. Reed -> Yes ma'am.

Hunter Matheson -> ::wanders the deck looking for Sylvanis::

Hunter Matheson -> ::jealous of the team that had planetside duty:::

Hunter Matheson -> ::kind of::

H.G. Reed -> :: Taps the console to begin the calculations. ::

Dvokr chim Hok -> :: trying many channels :: Nothing of interest on local subspace channels.

Hunter Matheson -> ::not fond of radiation::

John Randall -> +Bridge+ Engineering to bridge.

Cassie Granger -> ::hears Hok::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Finishes putting the clothes on and locking up. Heads out of the locker room and into the MARDET halls. Sees Kal roaming.:: Hey Gunny.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ::Not fond of radiation either, doesn't want to find out if radiative ooze will give him Ninja abilities:::

Hunter Matheson -> ::jerks around:: Hello, Lieutenant. Cptn Granger said to report, see what I can do.

Hunter Matheson -> Was it.. interesting down there?

John Randall -> +Bridge+ Engineering to bridge, acknowledge, please. (slightly irritated as he thinks, here we go again)

H.G. Reed -> :: double checks her work. ::

Cassie Granger -> ::looks at Hok::

Dyan Sylvanis -> If by interesting you mean the horribly bad smells and the possibility of becoming a walking glowstick?

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Engineering+ Go ahead Mr Randall?

Hunter Matheson -> Uh... not exactly. ::grimace:: That bad, eh?

Gretchen Hanson -> ::working through the scenarios presented in her reading::

Dyan Sylvanis -> Yeah. Not on my top places to vacation.

Dyan Sylvanis -> At least there were no incidents.

John Randall -> ::was just leaving the office when he hears the captain's voice; goes back in:: +Bridge+ Captain, welcome back, sir. We have an increase in radiation levels outside the ship. Recommend an orbital change, or raising deflector shields.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Very desolate and eerie. Nice if you like ghost towns, but otherwise...

Hunter Matheson -> So I take it your rad suits are in the decontam unit?

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Randall+ Thank you Lieutenant.

Hunter Matheson -> Yeah, no incidents is always a good thing.

John Randall -> +Bridge+ Randall out.

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Nods.:: And I have to get another special flightsuit. Those things aren't cheap.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Helm. raise our orbital position by 10,000 metres and increase power to deflector shields.

Gretchen Hanson -> ::pages to the back to check on the "right" answer, only to find there isn't one:::

Cassie Granger -> ::Reed:: Prepare for higher orbit.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Never hurts to be too safe against radiation.

H.G. Reed -> :: Finishes the calculations and prepares the courses. ::

H.G. Reed -> Yes ma'am.

Cassie Granger -> ::Ja'Lale:: Raise orbital position by 10k, aye.

John Randall -> ::sends reports to Reed at the nav station::

John Randall -> ::via e-mail::

Cassie Granger -> ::moving it up:: Tactical, increase power to deflectors.

H.G. Reed -> :: Receives the email from John and reads it. ::

John Randall -> ::exits the office and takes his station, gesturing to Davis to stay where he is::

Hunter Matheson -> ::looks up at the sound of the engines:: Sounds like we're changing orbit.

John Randall -> ::calls up the program to monitor the radiation effect on the engines and shields::

Dvokr chim Hok -> :: Watching the local space while listening to chatter ::

Hunter Matheson -> ::distracted:: Yeah... flight suits. ::looks around:: Good thing you weren't in a fighter.

Cassie Granger -> ::easing the ship into elliptical orbit, 10k out, dodging debris::

H.G. Reed -> :: Sends a reply to John. ::

Derrick Sabin -> ::watches the planet recede a bit on the view screen:::

Dyan Sylvanis -> Maybe we're leaving soon. ::Notices his distracted look.::

John Randall -> ::notices an e-mail come into his inbox; accesses it, and finds a reply from H.G., acknowledging receipt of the reports::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Science/Med Teams+ Any status from the sample analysis?

Hunter Matheson -> Hope so, ma'am. Place gives me the creeps.

Hunter Matheson -> We... uh.. had several tactical groups pass by while you were down there. Doesn't compute, mostly because there's no one there to protect.

Hunter Matheson -> Think they're antsy about keeping their territory to themselves.

Dyan Sylvanis -> Well I certainly wouldn't want strangers wandering around.

Derrick Sabin -> ;:keys in his report to be sent to the Captain, but also turns to address him directly::: Nothing in the data to suggest anything different from we saw down below,sir. No one will be moving in anytime soon.

Hunter Matheson -> ::uneasy:: Yeah, probably. But still.. taking the chance of radiation. Dunno... there's something strange about it..

John Randall -> ::sends Michaels to assemble a team to check on the plasma inducers to the warp coil; they don't need radiation to seep into them::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Figured as much. Is there a timeline as to when.. or if.. the area could be re-populated? I'll need to send the report for Starfleet and the Klingon High Command.

Hunter Matheson -> Anyway... ::snaps out of it:: Anything I can do for you, or should I check in with Delta?

Cassie Granger -> ::listening to the bridge chatter::

John Randall -> ::checks ship's status, and finds the shields have been raised, and sighs in relief::

Cassie Granger -> ::elliptical high orbit, away from most of the debris and out of the main radiation belt:::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Great.

H.G. Reed -> :: Preps additional course changes. ::

Derrick Sabin -> Time will be dependent on how aggressive a clean-up program is instigated. Just letting mother nature, or the Klingon equivalent of such, is going to take 1,000 years...give or take.

Cassie Granger -> ::winces at Sabin's report::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Worse than I thought, Mr. Sabin.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Mr. Hok, please forward the report onto the Klingon High Command and to Starfleet.

Dvokr chim Hok -> Aye

Dyan Sylvanis -> I'm fine for now. Going to head to the Mess to get something.

Hunter Matheson -> Aye, ma'am. Checking in with Delta, then.

Derrick Sabin -> Of course, given Kronos' notoriously hostile natural environment, maybe they won't even notice a bit of radiation.

John Randall -> ::sitting at his station, recalls the Academy course on the explosion at Praxis; finds himself in complete agreement with Captain Kirk; he just can't feel sorry for the Klingons, either::

Dvokr chim Hok -> :: Compiles the report and forwards to the Klingon High Command and Starfleet ::

Dvokr chim Hok -> :: Compiles the report and forwards to the Klingon High Command and Starfleet ::

Dvokr chim Hok -> The data has been sent.

Hunter Matheson -> ::wanders towards Delta's lockers; finally finds them in the showers::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Thanks Lieutenant Hok. Now it'll be up to Starfleet and Klingons to figure out what to do next

Dvokr chim Hok -> Not vacation here...

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ACTION: Incoming hail from the Klingon High Command.

Dvokr chim Hok -> We are being hailed

Cptn Ja'Lale -> On screen.

Dvokr chim Hok -> :: does so ::

Cassie Granger -> ::takes a more professional posture::

H.G. Reed -> :: Takes a few moments to check all department status reports. ::

John Randall -> ::wonders about the disappearance of Kirk, what really happened aboard the Enterprise-B::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Klingon> ::a burly old Klingon appears on screen:: This is Bardok from the High Command. We have received your report and thank you for the same. It is our decision that would be best to try to contain the radiation in that area and prevent it from spreading elsewhere on Kronos. As you are aware, the high winds could spread the radiation to more populated areas.

John Randall -> ::mentally shakes himself, and concentrates on his work::

Derrick Sabin -> ::listens, thinking.. Good luck with that:::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Bardok> Any assistance in this regard would be appreciated... and of course, you will have our full assistance as well should you need it.

Cassie Granger -> ::wondering how the hell they're going to contain radiation::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Bardok> Let us know what you can come up with.. Bardok out. ::offf::

Cassie Granger -> ::maintains a professional, stoic posture and expression::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ::Stares at the Klingon insignia after the transmission cuts off:: Well, that's just great.

Derrick Sabin -> ::taken by surprise at the Klingon's parting comment::

Cassie Granger -> ::lips purse:::

H.G. Reed -> :: Wondering if Klingons have the capability to clean this up. ::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Ja'Lale -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Ja'Lale -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Good job folks... Well.. thats quite the question. Coming up with a way to contain the radiation or prevent it from spreading elsewhere. TBS will be 1 hour. Any questions?

Cptn Ja'Lale -> So, if there is nothing else... sim dismissed! See you next week.
