USS Challenger 10.05.2014

[STSF Jami 0]

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Last week, the Challenger Away Team had beamed down to the small outpost to investigate the lack of communication. The team has found that the crew had died due to a lack of oxygen and damage to the external power generators. Power and oxygen still had not been restored. TBS was 5 minutes

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Any questions?

Hunter Matheson -> We still using EVA, right?

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Correct

Hunter Matheson -> So we can, you know, stay alive.

Hunter Matheson -> Got it.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Yes.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @ ::monitors away team feed::

Hunter Matheson -> ::snapping out of it to check the area::

John Randall -> @::at his station in engineering, supervising the crew::

H.G. Reed -> @ :: Checks on system controls and runs a diagnostic. ::

Cmdr Rinax -> ::to Dyan, Gretchen and Anastasia:: I hope there aren't any surprises waiting for us. Let's stay close together. ((Did I miss anyone on this team?))

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Remaining in point as she keeps visually scanning the area.::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ((Sabin))

Derrick Sabin -> (nope, Sabin is with the Eng. team)

Dyan Sylvanis -> ((Oh yeah))

Hunter Matheson -> ::keeping the eng team and the exits in his line of sight::

H.G. Reed -> @ :: Checks the duty roster for NAV and makes several adjustments. ::

Cmdr Rinax -> (My team, adopt the # symbol, please?)

Dyan Sylvanis -> +Kal+ How's your team doing? Any chance of getting power back up?

Dyan Sylvanis -> *#

Gretchen Hanson -> ::follows the others as they grope along the interior corridors::

Anastasia Poldara -> #::huddles up::

Hunter Matheson -> +Sylvanis+ No idea. ::turns to Sabin:: Sir, eta to powerup?

Cmdr Rinax -> # Let's check all unlocked doors, and see if we can continue to scan behind the walls and such.

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::still has tricorder out, scanning as well, even scanning overhead, checking doors as they come to them, trying to be quiet::

Dvokr chim Hok -> @ +to Away Teams+ This is Hok with a comm check.

Derrick Sabin -> I hate to punt, but that's going to be an Engineering call. I suspect new parts are going to be in order, though.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # +Hok+ Sylvanis here. Still getting my video feeds?

Cmdr Rinax -> # +Hok+ Challenger, Cmd Rinax here. Com is clear.

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::spots a couple more bodies in the hallway, motions to Gretchen:: Can you check those please? ::in hushed tones::

Hunter Matheson -> +COM+ Challenger OPS, Matheson. Sabin and (names of two engineers) good to go.

Hunter Matheson -> ::looks at the engineering team::

Anastasia Poldara -> #::notices one of the doors seems stuck open, peeks around to glance inside the room::

John Randall -> ::Thomas and Jenkins continue to scan the generators::

John Randall -> *and

Gretchen Hanson -> ::steps forward and kneels beside the bodies, tricorder in hand:: They're like the others, Commander.

Hunter Matheson -> (thanks, Randall. Got a blank on the names)

John Randall -> ::the generators are in such bad shape the scans are painstakingly slow::

Hunter Matheson -> ::steps aside to Thomas and Jenkins:: Challenger wants a sit rep.

Anastasia Poldara -> #::seeing no obvious threats, steps into the room::

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::near Gretchen:: I wonder if whoever or whatever did this left anyone alive. ::heavy sigh:: Let's leave them for now... save your scanned info. We may need to take DNA samples to the ship to identify all of them, but that'll be up to the Captain. Saving them however, would probably save us time later if he does want it.

Derrick Sabin -> ::not getting any definitive readings on the scorch marks. The electrical arcing that occured when the generators went out is obscuring detail::

John Randall -> Thomas> ::looks up at the Marine:: It's gonna be a while; these things got fried thoroughly. ::goes back to scanning::

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::notes Anastasia going into a room, waits in the doorway, eyes both on Gretchen and Anastasia::

H.G. Reed -> @ :: Finishes her diagnostic, quietly listening to the comm chatter. ::

Gretchen Hanson -> ::rises and steps back out of Poldara's way::

Hunter Matheson -> ::nods:: +COM+ Challenger, Matheson. Engineering reports it will be a while, everything is fried. ETA unknown.

Hunter Matheson -> ::Thomas:: Need some parts sent down?

Dyan Sylvanis -> # ::Keeping an eye out as she watches down the hall.::

Cmdr Rinax -> # (Our team is # Gretchen, so folks can keep us clearly identified.... ::prays it'll help them not leave us down here too. LOL)

Dyan Sylvanis -> ((No worries. I have the keys to the shuttle.))

Cmdr Rinax -> (Smart thinking! ::grins::)

Dvokr chim Hok -> +Sylvanis+ Yes we are getting them.

Hunter Matheson -> (::can hotwire just about anything::)

John Randall -> Thomas> ::doesn't look up:: Right now, I don't know what parts we need. ::looks over to Jenkins:: We may have to get the lieutenant down here; I've never seen anything like this.

Anastasia Poldara -> # Would be nice if the engineers got some of these consoles working.

Derrick Sabin -> ::to Kal:: An interesting way to attack the base, don't you think? Takie out the power and let things run their course.

Derrick Sabin -> *take

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::in the room with the ladies, shining her palm light around to see what is in here, besides more bodies:: Gretchen.. ::whispering again:: more to check out, I'm afraid.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # ::Glances back at Poldara.:: I don't think like that will be any time soon. Sounded like they were having trouble.

Hunter Matheson -> ::Thomas:: Want me to call him down? ::looks at Sabin, nods:: Classic.

Cmdr Rinax -> # +Eng Team+ Rinax here. Did you find any bodies? We've stumbled across half a dozen so far, all are deceased.

Gretchen Hanson -> #::checks her tricorder, but already knows what the display is going to show::

John Randall -> Thomas> ::looks up at Matheson:: I'll call him when we're sure we need him. ::goes back to scanning::

Gretchen Hanson -> #::to no one in particular:: Suffocation is slow. I don't understand why all these people are just laying around.

Hunter Matheson -> +Rinax+ Rinax, Matheson. A few.

Derrick Sabin -> ::to Thomas:: Would it be easier, and faster for our purposes, to beam down a portable generator?

Dyan Sylvanis -> # Maybe it was something else. We can already tell there was a possible attack.

Cmdr Rinax -> # +Matheson+ All deceased, yes? If you could capture DNA, I'd appreciate it. We may have to identify these folks. If you find anyone with a pulse, call immediately.

H.G. Reed -> @ :: Notes how eerily quiet the bridge has become. ::

Cmdr Rinax -> # Anyone have a clue for time of death, and/or reason for death? Are they all phaser burns or anything else?

John Randall -> Thomas> ::looks up at him:: You can, if you want. It won't help us that much. ::looks over to Jenkins:: What do you think, Bart?

Hunter Matheson -> +Rinax+ All deceased. DNA, wilco.

Hunter Matheson -> ::turns to Sabin:: DNA's your area, right?

Anastasia Poldara -> # ::looking around:: Well, why are they all … here? I mean, if they had been dying of oxygen deprivation, you would think that some of them would have made it to the environmental suits.

Cmdr Rinax -> # We may end up with so much DNA, both departments may be swamped with testing.

Gretchen Hanson -> #They could have been incapacitated, then the O2 bled off to hide the real cause.

Derrick Sabin -> Yes, I can get that.

John Randall -> Jenkins> ::shakes his head:: I think we need the lieutenant. There's an energy signature all over the casings, but I have no clue what it is.

Hunter Matheson -> ::nod to Jenkins:: Wilco. I'll call him down.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # Sounds very possible.

Hunter Matheson -> +COM+ Challenger, Matheson. Engineering team requests Lt Randall.

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::near Hanson and Poldara, listening, but shining her light around the room:: You know, I think this was either a data processing room, or perhaps security. The way those monitors are set up, it could have been one of the security posts, ... ::moves over towards one desk:: THis could have been where someone watched an area... all these monitors together.

H.G. Reed -> @ :: Glances around, curious as to why everyone is so silent. ::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @::Sips some of his tea:: Did we get a scan of the surface?

Cmdr Rinax -> # I wonder if we can get any physical drives out of it, take to the ship and read any data, if they can't get power up. Poldara, did you have any tools with you?

H.G. Reed -> @ :: Turns to the Captain. :: Yes, sir. It was inconclusive.

John Randall -> Thomas> ::stands, and clicks his comlink in his suit:: +Randall+ Thomas to Randall, come in, please.

Hunter Matheson -> +COM+ Challenger, come in.

Anastasia Poldara -> #::Rinax:: I have two of everything.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @ ::Nods:: I see, thank you. I'll add that into my report to Starfleet.. but it doesn't look good

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Hunter+ Go ahead?

Hunter Matheson -> +COM+ Matheson here. Engineering team requests Lt Randall on the surface.

Cmdr Rinax -> # So glad you are doubly prepared. Can I get a screwdriver, flathead will do.

John Randall -> @ +Thomas+ Randall here, go, Ensign.

H.G. Reed -> @ Something is not quite right.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Hunter+ Very well. We

Cptn Ja'Lale -> We'll send him down.

Hunter Matheson -> +COM+ Copy, Captain.

Hunter Matheson -> ::Thomas:: Captain's sending him down.

Cmdr Rinax -> # +Challenger+ Rinax here. I believe we found a data room. Not sure if it's just data storage, processing, or whatever, but there's a possibility it's a security room. We are going to snag any hardware that we can get removed.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # What kind of outpost was this again?

John Randall -> Thomas> +Randall+ Sir, we need you on the surface; there's an energy signature resonating from the casings, but we don't know what it is.

Gretchen Hanson -> #The exposed kind.

John Randall -> Thomas> ::nods to Matheson::

John Randall -> @ +Thomas+ Very well, ensign; conditions?

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Randall+ Bridge to Lt. Randall, ehh, your presence is requested down on the surface.

Cmdr Rinax -> # I'll confirm, but from what I reviewed... it was a communications relay type station

Derrick Sabin -> ::to Thomas, in a loud whisper:: Ask him to bring a portable generator.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # I mean for a simple outpost though, it would seem kind of pointless to attack it. Just a waste of resources. There must have been something else here. Something well worth the effort.

H.G. Reed -> @ :: Goes over the scans again, perplexed. ::

Cmdr Rinax -> # +Challenger+ Rinax again. Do we have any intel that says this was more than a Communications outpost?

John Randall -> Thomas> +Randall+ You'll need a suit, sir; and the science ensign is requesting a portable generator.

John Randall -> @ +Ja'Lale+ Acknowledged, sir, I'm in contact with my team now. Randall out.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ::hears Rinax's comm:: I don't believe so.

Anastasia Poldara -> #::hands Rinax the requested implement::

John Randall -> @ +Thomas+ All right, ensign, I'll be there in five minutes. Randall out.

Cmdr Rinax -> # Exposed Communications... communicating what? What could have.. ::grunts, as she grips the screwdriver tightly, and one side of the metal mainframe comes off and makes a loud noise as it hits the floor::

Gretchen Hanson -> #Are WE worth the effort? I mean, is the station just bait? To draw a Star Fleet presence out here?

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::grits her teeth:: Oops. ::quickly flashes the palm light around the room and near the doorway, listening carefully::

Dyan Sylvanis -> # Quite possible.

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::whispers to Gretchen:: That's a good... scary thought. ::glances at Dyan, Gretchen, then back around the room for any movement or sounds::

Dyan Sylvanis -> # This whole situation stinks.

John Randall -> @ ::goes to his locker for his toolkit, then goes to the equipment room, and puts on a suit; heads to the cargo bay for a generator, and exits engineering, heading for the turbolift:: Deck 10.

John Randall -> Thomas> ::to Sabin:: The lieutenant will be here shortly.

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::kneels down, and puts her hands inside the case, begins unplugging physical data storage units, and even scoops out a few handfuls of RAM, just in case they can piece together last transmissions or data bytes:: Wow... these units are heavy. Who's got a pack with room, there are 4 of these. They may be redundant, but if they aren't mirrored, we should take them all.

Derrick Sabin -> ::nods in appreciation, then turns to Matheson:: We could get limited power to the station fairly soon. Might help the team inside.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # ::Standing just outside the room to keep an eye out.::

John Randall -> @ ::exits the lift as it arrives, and strides down the corridor to the transporter room; shows the officer the coordinates from his tricorder, then nods to the officer:: Energize.

Anastasia Poldara -> #::frowns at her already-heavy pack::

Hunter Matheson -> ::Sabin:: Aye, sir. Even a little power will help.

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::removes the second one, places it next to the other on the desktop::

Dyan Sylvanis -> # +Hunter+ Kal, stay alert. Something doesn't seem right about this whole situation.

John Randall -> ::shimmers into existence on the station; spots the engineering team, and heads towards them::

Gretchen Hanson -> #::looks around and frowns:: Where's a good cardboard box when you need one?

Hunter Matheson -> +Sylvanis+ Roger that. I've been getting the same feeling. Anything specific on your end?

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::now the third:: You aren't kidding. I won't need to workout later.

H.G. Reed -> @ :: The scans are still inconclusive. Initiates another sweep, just in case. ::

Dyan Sylvanis -> # +Hunter+ Not yet. It's just a feeling.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @ ::sitting at his chair, compiling a report for Starfleet::

Hunter Matheson -> +Sylvanis+ Copy.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @Try a higher level scan if you are able to.

John Randall -> ::arrives at the team's location, and nods to all:: Ensigns. ::catches Matheson's eye:: Sergeant. ::looks over to Sabin:: Ensign.

Hunter Matheson -> ::engaging his HUD, setting it for hostiles and a complete 360 sweep:::

H.G. Reed -> @ Yes, sir. :: Taps her console. ::

Hunter Matheson -> ::nods:: Lieutenant Randall, sir.

Cmdr Rinax -> # There's four. Now to figure out how to carry them all back. ::finishes swiping the RAM chips, which look like they are 2 Terabytes each:: This wasn't the fastest computer system for a data server.

John Randall -> ::moves the generator, which is on an anti-grav cart, in Sabin's direction:: You requested this, Mr. Sabin?

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::puts one unit into her pack, along with all of the RAM:: We can only carry one per person because of how heavy. Please make sure we don't bounce these around.

Hunter Matheson -> ::Randall:: I'm going to step back, sir, for a good security sweep. Com if you see or hear anything stranger than we've already seen.

Derrick Sabin -> Yes. Can you rig up something to get some power into the station for the inside team?

John Randall -> ::nods to Matheson:: Acknowledged, Sergeant, and you do the same.

Anastasia Poldara -> #::grimaces at the hardware:: This is so … primitive.

Anastasia Poldara -> # Why are these people even _in_ space?

Cmdr Rinax -> # +Challenger+ Captain, we split into two teams, the engineers have had no luck getting power yet, my team has found numerous bodies,, collected DNA, and now have 4 data storage units, plus additional RAM cartridges. These are heavy and we couldn't run with them, so I think they should be transported immediately back to the ship.

John Randall -> ::to Sabin:: This generator doesn't have the power for that. ::steps over to the ensigns:: Let's see what you have, Mr. Thomas.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @ +Rinax+ Understood, Commander. Have the crew beam up when ready.

Hunter Matheson -> (think we took the shuttle down)

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::removes her unit from the pack, and the RAM again, puts them into a nice pile, and scans with the tricorder to get the size and location for the transportation team:: +Challenger+ Sending the coordinates of the items now.

Gretchen Hanson -> #Technically, they're not, Anna. They're on a moon. Which might explain why they didn't make a run for EVA suits when the oxygen started dropping.

Dyan Sylvanis -> ((Just beaming the computers))

Hunter Matheson -> (good idea)

Cptn Ja'Lale -> (Yes, the computer/RAM and maybe a few crewmen?)

H.G. Reed -> @ :: Finishes the secondary scan, waits for the results. ::

Derrick Sabin -> Perhaps we can take it inside then, Lt. It should have enough power to light up their way.

Cmdr Rinax -> (We'll send the NPC's, the rest of us love to shuttle ride)

John Randall -> ::looks over the tricorder data, and suddenly gives a low whistle:: Well, well, well. This is a significant find. ::clicks his comlink:: +Rinax+ Randall to Rinax, come in, please.

Hunter Matheson -> ::pacing, scanning the area::

Cmdr Rinax -> # +Randall+ Rinax here. What do you have Randall?

Cmdr Rinax -> # I think we should rejoin the engineers, we aren't going to find anything but more of the same here, I believe. Any other options?

John Randall -> +Rinax+ Commander, adjust your tricorder scans to take into account a Klingon disruptor energy signature, it's all over the casings of these generators.

Gretchen Hanson -> ((and why do we love to shuttle? Oh yeah, it's the pretzels))

Cmdr Rinax -> (LOL)

Hunter Matheson -> ::recalibrates his HUD:::

Dyan Sylvanis -> # We should check the station OPS.

Anastasia Poldara -> # I would like to know why there's no power, so I vote to find the engineers.

Gretchen Hanson -> #Should be safe enough to go, Dyan. There's nothing moving inside here but us.

Cmdr Rinax -> +Randall+Adjusting now.

Cmdr Rinax -> # let's check the security terminals, see if we can find any video feeds.

John Randall -> +Matheson+ Sergeant, adjust your search to take into account a Klingon disruptor energy signature.

H.G. Reed -> @ :: Jumps slightly when the console beeps. Focuses on the results of the scan. ::

Anastasia Poldara -> ((Wait, do the terminals have power? I thought they didn't, hence the pillaging. Or plundering. Which is which?))

Hunter Matheson -> +Randall+ Done, sir. Seems to be everywhere.

John Randall -> ::looks to the ensigns:: You boys just stepped into the big time; congratulations.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> (Yes... terminals still no power, but you could try to pull out the memory sticks)

Dyan Sylvanis -> # +Hunter+ Anything, Kal?

Cmdr Rinax -> # ::adjusts tricorder for Klingon settings, does a little scan, finds more signatures:: Adjust your tricorders to include Klingon signatures. I"m getting some indications here of their signatures.

John Randall -> +Matheson+ I believe we're scanning the aftermath of a Klingon ambush, Sergeant.

Hunter Matheson -> +Randall+ Copy.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # :;To herself:: That doesn't make sense.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # ::Glances back:: Did you say Klingon?

Cptn Ja'Lale -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Ja'Lale -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Ja'Lale -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Okay, great job.

Cmdr Rinax -> (Yes, Dyan, Santa Clause is Klingon this year. )

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Sorry for the confusion at the end there with the terminals.. power to terminals are still offline, but more data sticks could still effectively be retrieved from them.

Artemis -> (I am Santa of the House of Clause)

Cptn Ja'Lale -> TBS will again be 5 minutes.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Any questions?

Cmdr Rinax -> Ok, thanks Captain

Cptn Ja'Lale -> If there is no other questions, and if Rinax has nothing to add, then sim dismissed! We'll see you next week.
