[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 51410.27 - Season 22

The Republic has been investigating the missing colonist and lack of communications on many of the outlying colony worlds, however.....they have found horrific scenes of death and dismemberment, blood, oozing body parts, but ...only of the old and infirm. Of the others, there is no sign, We are about to send a team down to the next planet, though it is not much of a place for a colony. It has been earmarked for extreme terra-forming before suitable for regular habitation.

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

STSF_BluRox -> :: On the bridge, looking over various maps::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::waiting for the team to assemble on the shuttlebay deck::

STSF_BluRox -> This world is a wreck......can't be much more than an advanced terraforming station. Heather, now what where you mentioning at the end of the meeting of your studies?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Pops head into the shuttle bay:: you don't need me for this one right... I mean, I an just an engineer.

Christina_Nickles -> :: makes her way to the shuttle bay ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::making her way to the shuttle bay::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::sitting on the shuttle ramp, waiting for folks to arrive::

August Jax Robinson -> ::waves hand in a shoo shoo way:: more medical

Christina_Nickles -> :: walks up to the shuttle meeting up with Will::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::looks at Kwai:: Not my call, August.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::heads to the shuttle and begins pre-flight checks::

August Jax Robinson -> ::half looking at Kwai:: right

Capt Rian Kwai -> What would happen if I told her she had to stay?

Christina_Nickles -> :: steps aboard the shuttle with her gear::

Heather Jamieson -> Benamite Admiral.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Enters the shuttle bay, sour puss::

STSF_BluRox -> Since you have evidently lost your train of thought, come back later when you've composed your thoughts

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::smirks, watching Jax stomp past her:: Well, that was easy

LtCmdrRobinson -> Maybe it wont smell that bad this time. Maybe someone will be alive, who knows? Its a mystery, August! Exciting!

STSF_BluRox -> ::looks back up from her padd:: Ms Jamieson, if there is nothing else, the away team is in the hanger bay waiting for you

Capt Rian Kwai -> Anyone we're missing ::looking around the shuttle::

Heather Jamieson -> Surveys of the sector reveal a likelihood of benamite deposits on a few worlds. It's the only item on the survey that peaked my interest. Yes Admiral. :: Exits the conference room and heads to the shuttle bay ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> No? Heather?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Enters a lift :: :: Lift exits on the shuttle bay deck :: :: Huffs it to the shuttle ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::logs Heather's report into her terminal for additional study::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::looks at her chrono:: Let's pack it up. We don't have all day here.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Starts up the shuttle::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Enters the shuttle :: Sorry all. Benamite on the brain. :: gets seated ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Is that like Vegemite?

Heather Jamieson -> I'd not eat it.

August Jax Robinson -> ::enters the shuttle:: don't we though, it's not like we punch in

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> Well, get it off the brain. ::sitting and strapping in:: Ms Kasuga, whenever you have clearance...

Christina_Nickles -> :: get strapped in::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Requests departure clearance to the bridge::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Locks in::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Goes to say something, but figures it's a bad idea ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::takes a seat::

Tory Knight -> ::in main sciences, running diagnostics on her console, as per the usual maintenance schedule::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::takes off and flies out of the bay once clearance was given:

STSF_BluRox -> ::wonders how the hell Benamite crystals, which are a rare unstable synthetic, could be naturally found in large quantities:: +Tory+ I have a question for you if you would please

Tory Knight -> +Blu+ What can I do for you, Admiral? ::taptaptap on the console::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Will, any words of wisdom for the rest of us?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Not looking forward to any more death ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Don’t get dead. ::hopes that was wise enough::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Sighs::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::sets a course towards the landing spot on the colony::

STSF_BluRox -> + Commander+ I was wondering if you could do some additional scans please and check on a theory that was put forth by a member of the science dept.

LtCmdrRobinson -> No signs of life before we set out, so this may turn out like the rest.

Tory Knight -> +Blu+ ::furrowing her brow:: I'm almost afraid to ask... But what, exactly, should I be scanning for?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Don't get dead is the best you can do?

August Jax Robinson -> I don't want to see the same

STSF_BluRox -> it was thought that there could be a large amount of Benamite naturally occurring in this sector. From my days in the Academy, I had been under the impression that

Tory Knight -> ::the furrow in her brow deepens::

STSF_BluRox -> this substance was only found as a rare, synthesized molecule with a rapid decay rate, and would take years to reproduce more.

Capt Rian Kwai -> What's our ETA Kasuga?

STSF_BluRox -> Could you please confirm or show the report that science recorded. Thank you

Ayumu Kasuga -> 2 minutes. Almost there. ::begins descent into the planet's atmosphere::

 

ACTION: AS KASUGA TAKES THE SHUTTLE THROUGH THE ATMOSHPERE..... IT IS BUFFETED BY HIGH ALTITUDE WINDS, HOT AND DRY AND THEY PUT A NOTICIBLE STRAIN ON THE INERTIAL DAMPENERS

 

Tory Knight -> +Blu+ Your impression is correct. It's possible our sensors are out of specification; I am currently running diagnostics, and should have clarification for you in a few hours.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Whoa... ::compensates for the turbulence and increases damper strength output::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::braces::

Christina_Nickles -> :: feels the knocks and holds on tight::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Hold on..

 

ACTION > THE PLANET BELOW APPEARS ARID AND MOUNTAINOUS IN MOST REGIONS, WITH LITTLE VEGITATION VISIBLE AND LITTLE STANDING WATER TO BE SEEN

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> A little warning next time would be nice.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Her stomach is upset at the pitching ::

August Jax Robinson -> we can just do fly overs

Ayumu Kasuga -> Interesting...

Capt Rian Kwai -> Are we getting any readings?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::looking over the sensors:: Nothing yet.

Tory Knight -> ::adding a subroutine in to the diagnostics::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Structures up ahead, and a LZ.

Capt Rian Kwai -> So where do you want to start, Mr Robinson?

Christina_Nickles -> Hey Ayumu easy on the bumping please.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::headed to said LZ, slowly begins to land:: Hey, I'll try. Not easy with all this wind and turbulence. It's gonna make taking off hard too.

 

ACTION: MAPPING SYSTEM REPORT THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST 3 OF THE MONITORING SITES ON THE PLANET

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Touches down:: We've landed.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Sighs in relief ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Looks like the landing beacons are offline, cant be a good sign.

Christina_Nickles -> :: takes a deep breath::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::pops open the back hatch:: Lets see what we got.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Powers the shuttle down::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: unhooks her safety strap and move up next to Will:::

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() :: Unbuckles her harness and gets up ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @ Ms Jamieson, I want your on life signs the minute we step out of the shuttle. I'm hoping that everyone is well and accounted for.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() I don’t smell anything in a state of decay. Yet.

STSF_BluRox -> +KwaI+ Keep myself or the bridge informed of our situation. I'm going to go off duty for a few hours and try to get a small bit of sleep

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::unbuckles and gets up and heads to the exit::

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() :: looks :: Aye Captain.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Puts on a breathing mask::

Capt Rian Kwai -> +BluRox+ Will do.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::places on a breathing mask as well::

STSF_BluRox -> ::hopes the team is finding anything useful that she can place into the report

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() :: Gets her mask on. Checks her tricorder ::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Where do we go from here Sir ::to Will:

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::follows the others::

STSF_BluRox -> ::stands and stretches, heading to her ready room where she tosses a foe of the large support pillows to lounge :: looking forward to reading the AT's support

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Shouldn’t take long to clear this station.

 

STSF_BluRox -> At least they seem to have their legs ljjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj under them
