USS Republic is about 15 minutes out from DS9........

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::recovered enough to be back on the bridge, piloting the ship the rest of the way to DS9::

STSF_BluRox -> :: exits ready room, and walks over to the center seat::

Heather Jamieson -> :: On the bridge for her shift ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Stands up, smiles at Blu:: we are 15 minutes out Sir

STSF_BluRox -> What is our ETA ?

STSF_BluRox -> Very good....

Ayumu Kasuga -> We're about 15 minutes away.

STSF_BluRox -> :: still not in the best of moods::

August Jax Robinson -> ::walks to the Engineering console over there::

STSF_BluRox -> Contact the station and find out if they want us to take a position off the station or if they have a spot for us to dock

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::hiding in his office so his wife® can't boss him around::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye sir

Ayumu Kasuga -> +DS9+ Republic to Deep Space 9. Reporting here as ordered, we'd like to request docking clearance or our position off the station.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Has sent 3 emails reminding Will to do stuff::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::has ignored them all::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looking at star charts and the latest badlands topography ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Sends 2 more::

STSF_BluRox -> DS9 Ops +USS Republic+ We are doing maintenance on several of our docking pylons, so if you would not mind, we'll have you take up station off of upper pylon 3 and have you beam aboard as needed.

Ayumu Kasuga -> +DS9+ Acknowledged, thank you.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Upper Pylon 3 it is.

LtCmdrRobinson -> (Do they not know who we are? Most important ship in the fleet should get a dock. Dock anyway)

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::heads towards Upper Pylon 3::

STSF_BluRox -> (I have a feeling they know 'exactly' who we are, and we're lucky we're not being asked to take up station off of Cardassia

STSF_BluRox -> :: feels a bit slighted as does her crew::: Maintenance huh.?

STSF_BluRox -> ::half tempted to have Holly see if they are doing maintenance and have her poke her nose around the station computer, but decides not to::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Rubs chin and positions the ship off Pylon 3:: Position secured.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Watches Blu ::

 

ACTION: Incoming message

 

STSF_BluRox -> DS9 Ops +com+ USS Republic, stand by to receive further Mission Orders......

August Jax Robinson -> ::tempted to look into their maintenance logs::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ooh.

DS9 Ops +com+ The USS Republic is to travel to coordinates to be transmitted, where they are to investigate the disappearance of several small colonies that are on the edge of Bajoran, Cardassian space, and the area known as the Badlands

Heather Jamieson -> :: Perks up hearing badlands ::

DS9 Ops +com+ Acknowledge Mission Order receipt, and prepare to get underway after taking on any provisions. Navigational updates to be sent to your Ops and Science officers at this time. DS9 out.

STSF_BluRox -> Someone get me Will up here please

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::receives the co-ordinates, finding it all interesting::

Ayumu Kasuga -> +Will+ Will Robinson, please report to the bridge.

Ayumu Kasuga -> I have the co-ordinates. Should I acknowledge the order?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::gets up, hoping the boss is not mad:: +Bridge+ On my way.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Works on getting the latest weather from the Badlands up to date ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::heads for the lift and rides it towards the bridge::

STSF_BluRox -> (DS9 Weather channel update for Badlands: It's bad) Now back to your regularly scheduled sim

Christina_Nickles -> :: enters main security and looks at the duty roster::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Pretty bad in the badlands, eh? ::to Heather::

STSF_BluRox -> :: grumbles and curses:: Their time and experience in the Badlands, now gets the Republic every mission that comes up for this area.

Heather Jamieson -> It's been bad for a long time.

Ayumu Kasuga -> That's bad.

 

STSF_BluRox -> ::ears sorta pinned back:: God I hate that area of space, almost as much as the Gamma Quadrant::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Gives both Ayumu and Heather a look..::

STSF_BluRox -> Maybe more....it's sort of a toss up

STSF_BluRox -> :: glares at the August to glare more at her underlings::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::enters the bridge:: What's the situation?

Heather Jamieson -> That aside, we have a decently mapped out version of the badlands

STSF_BluRox -> Good, Will....I think we have something right up your alley, or...at least something to amuse you.....

Christina_Nickles -> :: sees that her report was not complete for the last mission since she was out of commision and moves to her desk to get it finished::

STSF_BluRox -> Seems that several colonies between Bajor, Cardassia and the Badlands have went offline, nobody's heard from them. It’s our mission to go out and see what is up with them all and ascertain the situation

STSF_BluRox -> We can have science and Ops work up some orbital probes to launch when we get near the colonies, but I suspect we'll need your boots on the ground to do a more thorough investigation

STSF_BluRox -> Please start selecting your teams, and while we are here at the station, get what supplies you will need.

STSF_BluRox -> send your requests to August to approve

STSF_BluRox -> Then she'll work with Ayumu to get it ordered and brought up

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::whaaaaaaaaattttt?::

August Jax Robinson -> Yes, do check your mail

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::nods:: I'll get right on it.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods::

STSF_BluRox -> Will, I'll leave this to you and Jax to get ready. I'll be in my ready room

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

LtCmdrRobinson -> Well I wouldn’t think this is anything biological or some word would have gotten out.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Local anomaly that is preventing communication perhaps. A coordinated attack on multiple colonies would require significant logistics, someone would have detected it on long range scanners.

STSF_BluRox -> Oh.. and Jax, once things are in order, the crew can have 6 hours on DS9.

STSF_BluRox -> :: turns to Will:: Unless someone took how those long range sensors earlier

STSF_BluRox -> You've been here before with me, you remember our friends that are on the other side.....they've been silent a long time, perhaps, they've been testing to see if we're still paying attention?

LtCmdrRobinson -> I guess we'll find out soon

August Jax Robinson -> ::Nods to Blu:: aye sir

STSF_BluRox -> Jax if it is indeed our frosty friends.....make sure you have a good rotation of shield harmonic modulations

August Jax Robinson -> I will put that at the top of my list

August Jax Robinson -> ::gives Will The Look::

STSF_BluRox -> :: looks over to Ayumu a moment:: I hope you're piloting skills are up for this. Hans did a good job, but even he was pressed at times. Make sure you spend some time on the simulator for this area before we get there

Ayumu Kasuga -> Will do, sir.

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, team...get to work I want your plans together in 2 hours, then you may take a break on station

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> Didn’t Hans also like to fly into wormhole at warp?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Did he? Hmm. That's reassuring.

August Jax Robinson -> not for me ::Scowls::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Curses Hans where ever he is::

Ayumu Kasuga -> I'll be sure not to fly into any wormholes at warp then

Ayumu Kasuga -> Hans> ::on Risa, enjoying a margarita in the sun::

Christina_Nickles -> :: completes her report and files it for Wills review ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::taps on her PADD:: I have a list of engineering supplies we will need for this.. I am guessing hand granades for your list?

Ayumu Kasuga -> I'll see what types of grenades DS9 has in stock.

Christina_Nickles -> :: begins her daily patrol duty::

LtCmdrRobinson -> I still have enough stock, trust me. It's not like I get to use them very often.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Goes up to Kasuga :: I can ready you a current simulation of the badlands

LtCmdrRobinson -> Once we get a closer look at the colonies I'll decide how many people we need to take on the team.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Great.

August Jax Robinson -> She wants a plan before we get there...

Ayumu Kasuga -> Please do

Christina_Nickles -> :: starts walking the corridors of the Security deck::

Christina_Nickles -> *walking

Heather Jamieson -> :: Kneels down to Kasuga's level :: Having probes map out the badlands in more detail would also help

STSF_BluRox -> Good, let's make sure we get through this with no damage and get them the information they want

STSF_BluRox -> Two minute warning

LtCmdrRobinson -> Well we can't plan an away mission until we have some idea of what’s down there. I may need a large medical team, or maybe just security. When we get some probes down there, we'll plan from there

Ayumu Kasuga -> it certainly would.

STSF_BluRox -> Well, that's what I want you to be ready for and to coordinate with the others. I just wanted to give you fair warning, as last time we were out in this area, we had a serious issue with some very angry Breen. I would not doubt that they are testing our boundaries. If so, we need to push them back again

STSF_BluRox -> it may be nothing, it could be a bad signal transceiver somewhere that is preventing communications in that are, we already know the challenges presented by the conditions there...

STSF_BluRox -> Just be ready is all I’m asking of everyone

STSF_BluRox -> (prepare to pause)

 

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

 

August Jax Robinson -> ::Paused::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::psd::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ""Paused::

STSF_BluRox -> And here I thought you'd all rush to get your task done and I'd have to round you all up on DS9....

Christina_Nickles -> paused

STSF_BluRox -> Ok...anything from anyone tonight?

STSF_BluRox -> Requests?

STSF_BluRox -> Questions?

LtCmdrRobinson -> nope

Ayumu Kasuga -> Nope

Christina_Nickles -> none here

Heather Jamieson -> Nothing from me

August Jax Robinson -> nope

Ayumu Kasuga -> Happy Canada Day!

STSF_BluRox -> Crew Dismissed
