USS Republic - October 6 2014

[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 5141006 - SEASON 22 The away team has gone down to the surface of Ambrose 9, and have been searching for any lifesigns or clues as to where everyone could be. As the team approached the main colony, they came upon a horrible stench and paused to reassess

STSF_BluRox -> Questions?

STSF_BluRox -> My apologies again for last week, I was traveling was unable to get a connection and was only able to let Kwai know by phone.

August Jax Robinson -> is it a fish or skunk stench?

STSF_BluRox -> Have you ever smelled 3 day old shark fetuses left rotting in the summer sun? Something like that, but maybe worse.....

August Jax Robinson -> oooh

LtCmdrRobinson -> so Jax if she doesn’t shower in the morning? why didn’t you just say that...

August Jax Robinson -> :D

STSF_BluRox -> ROFLMAO! Well...that's something I hope I am never going to have to encounter!

 

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::crouched behind a wall just outside of the colony, motions for the team to hold::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::stops in her place, but keeps scanning::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::stops in place, phaser out::

 

ACTION: AS THE TEAM VENTURES FORWARD THE STENCH BECOMES ALMOST OVERWHELMING

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Ok, lets clear it. Nickles, watch the left. ::moves in::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::walks along:: what’s that smell

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::covers nose, breaths through her mouth::

Heather Jamieson -> !@.. Oh my g- :: looks like she may get really sick ::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: watches the left as told::

Ayumu Kasuga -> p!@#$%^&*() Oh man.. ::covers her nose under her uniform::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::moving through the center of the colony, looking for hostiles and the source of that smell::

Heather Jamieson -> !@.. :: scans to see what that smell might be ::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*() There are 3 buildings to your left, 2 to the right, the stench seems to be coming from those on the left..... What do you do?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() I kinda don't want to know where that smell is coming from

 

ACTION: Scans show the stench to be of an organic origin

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::moves towards the stench::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() It smells like dead people.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() how do you know... you are a pilot

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() But, I've been to enough Republic away missions to still know what dead people smell like.

 

ACTION: The team has reached the first building on the left

 

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

Heather Jamieson -> !@.. The tricorder seems to think the source is organic

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Hmm. Could be

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() go on William, have a look ::Points::

Christina_Nickles -> (back Dog unplugged the laptop)))

Ayumu Kasuga -> (bad dog)

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::enters the building, hoping the pile of bodies isn’t too big::

Christina_Nickles -> ((That’s what I said when I yelled at him))

STSF_BluRox -> (in light of the Halloween season, there may be gore, goo and creepy crawly things...unless that bothers you, fair warning)

Heather Jamieson -> ¡@.. :: Still scanning :: now what kind of organic odor..

STSF_BluRox -> (but if it does, we can switch to.....tribbles of doom)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (that's fine)

August Jax Robinson -> (I am good, no monkey's tho))

 

ACTION: As Will enters the building there is a strong smoked odor, not quite the same as the putrid smell they were picking up outside... Will sees what appears to be a food preparation station, and strips of smoked meat hanging drying, over coals that have long gone out, the meat now crawling with maggots and flies

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: walks in the building behind Will:: This smells different. Smokey???

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Smoky...Like Smoked Salmon

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Stays out there::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::looks around carefully::: EEwwwww This is gross. ::points:: This stuff is crawling.

Capt Rian Kwai -> !@#$%^&*() ::having removed her cardboard stand in, has just rejoined the Away Team all ready in progress...at the back of the line...because she can::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Almost on its own

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Ewww. Expired meat.

 

ACTION: Magggots fall off onto her boot, flies buzz around their heads

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Ok, now that is gross.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::quickly clears the building:: Looks like we are a few days late. Lets try the next building, it can only get worse from here.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: stomps her feet to get the crawlies off::

 

ACTION: As Christina stomps her feet, she notices she kicks several very long bones

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> !@#$%^&*() This is so not good. I'm going to hang back and update the Republic. I'll catch up to you in the next building.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Mr Robinson!! Ththing? There are some very long bones over here. Think they mean any

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Steps further to the back to get some air so she doesn't throw up... or "yak" as the Americans put it::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Mr Robinson!! There are some very long bones over here. Think they mean anything?

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Unless they've been eating folks down here, a body wouldn't decompose that fast.

STSF_BluRox -> (who says yak? haven't heard that in years..now 'barf' we're good with that)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (It's short for Barfolomew)

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Do you think that’s the case Sir? ::to Will::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Take a scan to be sure, then lets move on.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: does as told and scans the bones and everything else:::

Heather Jamieson -> !@.. Eating people?

 

ACTION: Scan shows that the bones are a mixture of human, bajoran and other humanoid

 

August Jax Robinson -> {{It's always the Canadian who uses the off color.. I mean "Colur" terms}}

Ayumu Kasuga -> (lol)

STSF_BluRox -> (Fallon just showed that skater Koga!)

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Hmm, maybe Heather was right after all?

Ayumu Kasuga -> (heh)

Capt Rian Kwai -> !@#$%^&*() ::takes a step outside to clear her head and prepare to let Republic know what's up::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*() (sensor scans also show the smoked strips hanging over the smoker to be of the same dna makeup)

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Looks at her tricorder readings::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Mr Robinson? These bones are from a mixture of Humans, Bajorans and other Humanoids. I thing they where eating each other.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Those smoked hunks of meat up there on the racks are also of the same DNA

STSF_BluRox -> (Not beef jerky, Biff, Bob and Bajor Jerky!)

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

STSF_BluRox -> (omg....don’t' repeat the same exact words! ::thwap::)

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::sighs:: Cannibalism? Well this will be a fun trip.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Some brains with a side of cianti.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Or someone else moved in. Lets go find them, and then very diplomatically...shoot them in the face.

Heather Jamieson -> !@.. :: Getting sick.. ::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: closes her scanner and follows Will::

Capt Rian Kwai -> !@#$%^&*() +Republic+ Away team to Republic.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() I kind of hope we don’t find them.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Also feeling sick as well:: Better get some more air

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Gives Will 'the LOOK' ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::switches phaser to the heaviest stun setting:: Weapons free, Nickles. If you see something and aren’t 100% sure its safe, shoot it.

Capt Rian Kwai -> !@#$%^&*() Can we see if we can get an idea o the ages of our victims here?

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

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Sighs::

STSF_BluRox -> +Kwai+ This is the Republic...sorry, I was in the shower, what can I do for you?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: following Will::

Capt Rian Kwai -> !@#$%^&*() +Republic+ Just wanted to give you an update so that you'd know that we hadn't, like, blown up the settlement or anything.

STSF_BluRox -> +Away Team+ Rian, I'm glad to hear that. Will looked pretty loaded when he went down.....with weapons I mean......Status report? Any clues as to the settlers and their where a bouts?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Ms Jamieson, I need a chronological date of these victims and an estimated time of death.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::pushes the door open on the next building and heads in::

Heather Jamieson -> !@.. :: feeling light headed ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> As well as cause of death would be nice.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: follows Will carefully watching for anything that may be there::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Checks Tric for life signs.. no need to get jumped by someone hungry::

 

ACTION: AS WILL OPENS THE NEXT DOOR, THE OVERWHELMING STENCH THEY HAS SMELLED IS RELEASED, FLIES BUZZING EVERYWHERE, RODENTS SCURRY UNDERFOOT, NO LIGHTS IN THE LARGE ROOM EXCEPT FROM THE DOOR

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() You OK Heather? We should have brought gas masks.

Capt Rian Kwai -> +Republic+ It's not looking so good. So far we've found no lifesigns and some recently deceased colonists. Trying to get an idea of how many, what ages are and cause of death now.

Capt Rian Kwai -> :mutters:: Or at least I hope now.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Mr Robinson Something just ran over my foot and it smells worse in here than the other building.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::shines a light in the room, trying to keep the flies out of his mouth:: Corpse flies taste the worst.

Heather Jamieson -> Understood captain..

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$#$%^&*() maybe we should check up wind

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

STSF_BluRox -> +Kwai+ ::curses a bit under her breath:: Not...what we were hoping to find. Keep lookingg, hopefully we'll find someone alive, someone we can ask what happened

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() See anything Mr Robinson?

Heather Jamieson -> (Having trouble...)

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::makes a face:: I didn’t want to go in and see. ::sighs and enters::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::cringes and follows Will into the building::

 

ACTION: IN THE DARK, WILL'S BOOT SLIPS ABIT ON SOMETHING WET AND SLIMY ON THE FLOOR, CAUSING HIM TO CATCH HIS BALANCE, WHICH HE EASILY DOES

 

Heather Jamieson -> :: studies the bones a bit and finds out the calcification levels indicate older humanoids ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Don’t worry August, a few more minutes of this smell and you'll never smell anything else again.

STSF_BluRox -> (DANG...he beat a really hard roll, it would have been awesome!)

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Bodily fluids on the floor, watch it.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() I am an Engineer... I don't see my services needed here'

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() She didn’t follow us Sir, She stayed back there.

STSF_BluRox -> (fixing the lights might be helpful?)

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Covers nose with her sleeve::

Heather Jamieson -> Captain, the victims were very old due to calcium levels in these samples ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::has a flashlight while he waits for August to fix them lights::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Flips the light switch on::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::or do that::

August Jax Robinson -> ~!@#$%^&*() ::Pops panel next to it.. makes a few adjustments, making light.... like some kinda God in Heaven::

Heather Jamieson -> !@.. :: looks at her scans :: very old in fact

Capt Rian Kwai -> And time of death or cause of death?

 

ACTION: WILL'S FLASHLIGHT SHOWS A MAKESHIFT CAGE BUILD INTO THE CORNER, EVIDENTLY ONCE USED TO HOLD LIFESTOCK, HE HAD BEEN COVERD AND HELD THE REMAINS OF SEVERAL DEAD AND DECAYING HUMANOIDS. LOOKING AT THEM, IT APPEARED THEY HAD BEEN LOCKED TOGETHER SO LONG, THAT THEY HAD RUN OUT OF FOOD, AND HAD TO RESORT TO EATING EACH OTHER. HOWEVER, ALL THE BODIES BUT ONE HAD BEEN PARTIALLY TORN UP, AND ONE JUST GUANT FROM STARVATION. DECOMPOSING LIQUIDS FROM THE BODIES WERE OOZING ACROSS THE FLOOR AND CREATING THE STENCH THE TEAM SMELLED, ALONG WITH THE VAT OF WHAT APPEARED TO BE SOME SORT OF BROTH WITH BONES IN IT

 

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> (and we leave you with that to go to bed with tonight!) muhahaha....... I love Halloween

Christina_Nickles -> ::paused::
