USS Challenger 10.26.2014

[STSF Jami 0]

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Last week, the Challenger away team finished their mission on the outpost and are now on a shuttle back to the ship. TBS was 30 minutes, and the shuttle is now within range of the Challenger. Any questions?

Gretchen Hanson -> I hope the 30 minute flight time from planet to ship isn't a result of Dyan taking the scenic route?

Hunter Matheson -> ::or not::

Hunter Matheson -> ::yes, landed::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ((Just offloading when we stopped))

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ACTION: Shuttle has landed and the AT is back on the ship.

H.G. Reed -> Yes sir. :: Taps the console, laying in a course. ::

Gretchen Hanson -> ::rolls her wheelie through customs and heads back to Sick Bay:::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> All right.. set a course to Tyrellia and engage at warp 5.

Derrick Sabin -> ::sorting through all the data sent back by the AT::

Anastasia Poldara -> ::begins the arduous task of bringing all the equipment from the shuttle back to the science lab:: Next time, I pack the Mr. Science Awesome Scan-o-Mat De-Luxe, and nothing else.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Cass+ Please have the away team look over the data and send it to the bridge once they are complete.

H.G. Reed -> Engaging. :: taps console. ::

Cassie Granger -> +Ja'Lale+ Yes, Sir.

Dvokr chim Hok -> :: Hok on the bridge, listening to everything on the bridge, in the ship and out in space ::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Steps in the locker room.:: +Cass+ Ma'am, I'm going to decon. Meet you after for a debrief?

Cassie Granger -> (a little distracted here - apologies ahead of time)

Cassie Granger -> +Sylvanis+ Conference room, MARDET

Derrick Sabin -> ::reviews what little data there is around the energy signatures::

Anastasia Poldara -> ::enters the lab, baggage in tow:: Ugh.

Anastasia Poldara -> ((Are you in the lab, Derrick?))

Gretchen Hanson -> :;pulls into the SB and immediately plugs her tricorder into the main computer terminal for download::

Dyan Sylvanis -> +Cass+ Understood. ::Ends the comm and strips out of her flight suit, heading for the shower.::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ::sits back in his seat, looking over some notes::

Derrick Sabin -> ::frowns at the display, not really sold on the "Klingon" aspect of the preliminaries::

Anastasia Poldara -> ::nods gratefully to a crewman who takes the bags, looks around the lab:: This is different. Nice. Love what the refits have done to the place. ::noip:: Is it bigger?

Cassie Granger -> +AT+ Send all data to... ::checks her slate, and it's already streaming in::

Hunter Matheson -> ::finished with decon, hightails it to the bridge::

Anastasia Poldara -> ::is babbling now—when did she become a babbler? She’s supposed to be taciturn and Russian!::

Dvokr chim Hok -> :: Watching the comm lines in the ship ::

Anastasia Poldara -> ::leaves the lab and walks down the corridor towards the TL::

Gretchen Hanson -> ::when the download is complete, keys up an evaluation program:: Computer, display a comparison of COD's on station personnel:::

Hunter Matheson -> ::exits on the bridge, nod to the captain:: Captain Ja'lale, permission to take helm.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Granted.

Hunter Matheson -> Thank you, sir. ::slips into helm, checking the course, speed, destination::

H.G. Reed -> :: Glances up at Kal then goes back to what she was doing. ::

Anastasia Poldara -> ::her thoughts are still back on that outpost as she enters the TL:: Bridge.

Derrick Sabin -> Computer, analyze energy signature data. Speculate. Could the signatures be a cause for the loss of atmospheres aboard the station?

Derrick Sabin -> Computer> Insufficient data to form a conclusion.

H.G. Reed -> :: Checks with stellar cartography, wanting to make sure navigation control is in sync. ::

Hunter Matheson -> ::leans back, satisfied, then chances a glance at Reed::grins::

H.G. Reed -> :: Notices Kal looking at her, tentatively smiles back. ::

Anastasia Poldara -> ::suddenly not all that enthusiastic about riding in a narrow metal can::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::After a quick shower and dry off, she puts on a fresh pair of shorts and a tanktop. Then heads for the MARDET conference room.::

Gretchen Hanson -> ::as the search results fill the screen, she notes all died of asphyxiation::

Anastasia Poldara -> ::feels her heart beating faster, starts to breathe a little raggedly::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Arrives at the room, hair still a little damp.::

Anastasia Poldara -> ::takes deep breaths and leans against the rail, trying to calm herself before the TL doors open::

Gretchen Hanson -> Computer, are there significant features that warrant a secondary cause?

Cassie Granger -> ::enters the bridge, moving to a command console:: Captain, information should be at your fingertips.

Gretchen Hanson -> Computer> Please clarify request.

Dvokr chim Hok -> :: Sees Captain Granger walk in ::

Cassie Granger -> ::checking:: Suggest you query science and medical about a few things, though, Captain.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Thanks, Cass. ::nods::

Gretchen Hanson -> Computer, are there indications of a secondary event leading to asphyxiation?

Derrick Sabin -> ::frustrated that no data prior to the AT's landing was recovered::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Seems she is a little early, so she picks out the best seat and relaxes.::

Cassie Granger -> ::closes down her console, nods to the captain:: I have a debrief in five, sir.

Derrick Sabin -> ::to noip:: I wish we had gotten power to the station's consoles with that portable generator. Might have gotten something before it was lost.

Anastasia Poldara -> ::exits the TL onto the bridge, her heart still racing but everything appearing normal otherwise::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Runs her fingers through her damp, silver hair as she looks around the room at the random posters and stuff on the walls.::

Cassie Granger -> ::smart nod, turn, enters the lift:: MARDET

Anastasia Poldara -> ::approaches Sabin at the science station:: What’s the word?

Gretchen Hanson -> Computer> No statistically relevant data exists to form a hypothisis.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ::nods at Ana::

Derrick Sabin -> ::turns to Ana:: A lot of data to sift through, but nothing turning up in the critical time period before the station lost contact.

Hunter Matheson -> ::chair rocks as he relaxes::

Anastasia Poldara -> ::frowns:: I can’t say I’m surprised. Their sensor coverage was poor, poorer even than I expected for an outpost of this type. But something still doesn’t seem right...

Cassie Granger -> ::enters the conference room on the marine deck::

Anastasia Poldara -> If this were an inside job, there should be evidence planted framing someone else. And if it wasn’t, then there should be … well, evidence.

Anastasia Poldara -> What if there were two visits?

Gretchen Hanson -> Well something caused them to lose air. And it either happened so quickly that it dropped everyone in their tracks, or so slowly that it caught them unaware...hard as that is to fathom.

Derrick Sabin -> One from us, and one from an unknown party?

Cmdr Rinax -> ((Are we i the conf room putting this info together?))

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Turns her attention to the door as it opens. She stands.::

Anastasia Poldara -> One from the party that killed everyone …

H.G. Reed -> :: Confirms data sync with stellar cartography. ::

Anastasia Poldara -> ...and one from the party that got rid of the evidence.

Gretchen Hanson -> Computer> Please rephrase the question.

Cassie Granger -> As you were, Lieutenant.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> (Between the Marines I think)

Cassie Granger -> ::drops into a seat::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Nods and sits.::

Derrick Sabin -> Don't even know if there was a second visit.

Anastasia Poldara -> Well, we need motive here.

Gretchen Hanson -> Never mind computer. Just thinking out loud.

Cmdr Rinax -> ::returns to the bridge, exiting the TL::

Anastasia Poldara -> Nothing, that we know of, was taken from the outpost.

Cassie Granger -> ::pulls out her slate:: Let's cut to the chase. Tell me what was interesting down there.

Anastasia Poldara -> The outpost itself, unlike Tyrellia, has little strategic value.

Derrick Sabin -> A motive? As opposed to a mechanical failure?

Dyan Sylvanis -> You mean aside from the dead bodies and disruptor score marks everywhere?

Cmdr Rinax -> ::goes to her chair:: Hello Captain. The team is putting together reports from our mission, hopefully they will complete the full report soon, after diagnosing the data we gathered.

Anastasia Poldara -> ::raises eyebrow:: You think their scrubbers broke down and they all sat peacefully and waited to suffocate?

Derrick Sabin -> As you pointed out, there was little of strategic value, and nothing seemed to be missing of any value.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Yes. We'll also need to send in the data to the Tyrellian Government and Starfleet for their assessment. Signs so far seem to point to the Klingons, even if it doesn't fit their style.

Anastasia Poldara -> Indeed. But if the cause of death was natural, it must have been so sudden no one had time to react.

Anastasia Poldara -> I’m interested to see what Dr. Hanson comes up with in her autopsies.

Derrick Sabin -> ::nods in agreement::

H.G. Reed -> :: Checks sensor readings, affirming that they are on the correct course. ::

Cassie Granger -> Let's start with the dead bodies.

Dyan Sylvanis -> Well it seemed that one of the engineers, Randall I think, scanned the energy residue of the blasts and determined it was of Klingon origin. Can they do that? I didn't know disruptor energy could be that specific. ::Shrugs:: But anyways, I don't believe it's them. If you've spent any time with Klingons at all, you would know that blowing up the generator just so the outpost crew could die, isn't something they would do.

Cassie Granger -> So the evidence was a little too obvious

Dyan Sylvanis -> Exactly.

Cassie Granger -> Any evidence of who actually might have done it?

Anastasia Poldara -> Though ‘s possible they all died accidentally, and someone is trying not to make it look like an accident.

Dyan Sylvanis -> The team managed to recover the sensor logs from Operations. They should give us an answer.

Cmdr Rinax -> Captain, none of the team believed it was Klingons... I think we should wait to submit that information to anyone until we have a clear pattern, because people may jump on the Klingon race for this action and begin a war, when a real enemy is out there penetrating, perhaps another planet.

Cassie Granger -> And the sensor logs are with science?

Derrick Sabin -> What if our assumption on the timeline is off? What if this "second visit" happened AFTER the station personnel lost their atmosphere? What if the disruptor signatures are from some other situation?

Cptn Ja'Lale -> I am inclined to agree with them. We'll definitely need some solid evidence before we submit our findings.

Anastasia Poldara -> ::nods:: Exactly.

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Nods.:: I believe so. It wasn't entirely clear to me who picked them up, since Kal and myself had to go on a bit of a rescue mission...

Anastasia Poldara -> We’re viewing all the evidence as being related to a single incident that ultimately led to the loss of the outpost crew.

Anastasia Poldara -> But maybe their deaths and those disruptor signatures are unrelated.

Cassie Granger -> Rescue mission?

Cmdr Rinax -> Our team knows what they were seeing. The data they took from the computers, along with the video security feeds should give us irrefutable information that'll provice evidence towards the real murderer.

Derrick Sabin -> If the Klingons are involved, could they have been responding to a distress call from the outpost? And when they arrived, they found something else? Something to shoot at?

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ::nods:: I hope so.

Cmdr Rinax -> Or should I say those that committed genocide. ::lowers head::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Sighs:: Seems Randall didn't return to Challenger with the other engineers and stayed behind, unbeknownst to the rest of us, and was left alone.

Anastasia Poldara -> Klingons answering a distress call? Call me skeptical. But yes, I could see that happening … Randall did claim he saw something.

Cassie Granger -> And did he find anything interesting?

Derrick Sabin -> Something that never appeared on the ship's sensors.

Dyan Sylvanis -> Just another body, though he claimed he saw something else. But no one saw anything.

Dyan Sylvanis -> And scans were negative.

Cassie Granger -> Did he describe what he thought he saw?

Dyan Sylvanis -> Not that I'm aware of.

Anastasia Poldara -> So we have: everyone dead, apparently of oxygen deprivation; Klingon disruptor signatures that damaged the station's main power supply; no sensor logs that indicate an intruder or intruders at the time.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Hmm. ::ponder::

Dyan Sylvanis -> But he had his weapon out like it had spooked him. Just glad he didn't pull the trigger, ‘cause it could have been me approaching.

Derrick Sabin -> That about sums it up.

Cassie Granger -> ::nods::

Cmdr Rinax -> Captain, would you ever think that there were Klingon's on the planet when the distress call went up?... since they were already on the planet, they could have been set up. Who hates the Klingon race the most?

Dyan Sylvanis -> I'm not up to date on Starfleet regs, but isn't there something about not wandering off alone?

Cassie Granger -> There is.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Hmm. It's a Federation colony, so I would doubt it. The lack of resources in the area make me think attacking wouldn't be worth the effort. As to who hates the Klingons most, that would be the Romulans, would it not?

Cassie Granger -> ::deep breath, avoiding the subject:: Anything else to report. Lieutenant?

Hunter Matheson -> ::leaning close to Reed, very interested in what she is doing::

Cmdr Rinax -> I agree... The Romulans have been in war mode against the Klingons. I couldn't put it past them to set up something as devious and complicated, just to continue their war, and have others try to join them in their hate.

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Thinks a moment.:: Not on the subject at hand, but I would like to say that Kal did a good job in the field. I know you had some reservations.

Dvokr chim Hok -> :: Listening, tapping buttons ::

Cassie Granger -> Good to know, Lieutenant.

Cassie Granger -> Thank you. Note it in your formal report, please.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> I wouldn't put it past them, that's for sure. Just need the evidence. ::beaky smile::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Nods.:: I will.

Cassie Granger -> And everything else you've mentioned.

Dyan Sylvanis -> Right.

Cmdr Rinax -> hope our team has Yeah, I certainly hope our team gathered hard evidence that can be used, not just planted stuff.

Gretchen Hanson -> ;taps her comm:: +Cpt. Ja'Lale+ Captain, Dr. Hanson here.

Cassie Granger -> ::stands:: If nothing else, carry on.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Hanson+ Yes, go ahead Doctor.

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Stands as well. Giving a salute.:: Yes Ma'am.

Cassie Granger -> ::returns the salute, staying behind to formulate her own report::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Steps out, heading towards her bunk to grab a PADD.::

Hunter Matheson -> ::leans back::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> (2 minutes)

Gretchen Hanson -> +Captain+ Preliminary medical report sir. Cause of death was asphyxiation, probably fast, but not explosive as in a decompression. No evidence of a secondary cause of death. I can't tie the scorch marks to any of the fatalities.

Hunter Matheson -> ::checks the course::

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Once she has her PADD, she begins walking the halls of MARDET, writing up her report.::

Hunter Matheson -> ::checks the speed::

Hunter Matheson -> ::checks out the view::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Hanson+ Thank you, Doctor. Very interesting.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Ja'Lale -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Ja'Lale -> PAUSE SIM

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Nicely played everyone... TBS wil be 1 hour. Close to arriving at Tyrellia

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Any questions?

Anastasia Poldara -> Yes

Anastasia Poldara -> What happened at the outpost? :P

Dyan Sylvanis -> lol

Cmdr Rinax -> ::grins::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> lol

Gretchen Hanson -> I think it's a Halloween ghost story

Hunter Matheson -> oooOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOO

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Yes. If there aren't any other questions, then sim is dismissed! Have a great week and a happy Halloween.
