Chirakis -> =-/\= Aegis Mission Brief 2/27/15=/\=

Chirakis -> 17 January 2388

Chirakis -> TBS was 40 hours.]

Chirakis -> The time is 0800, local.

Chirakis -> Commander Ramson has taken Aegean, USS Byron and USS Imaharato investigate our resident Horta's home world and the nebula that surrounds it.

Chirakis -> Joint Task Force Aegis is tracking the USS Vladivostok, which is under non-Starfleet control.

Chirakis -> Data is streaming to Aegis.

Chirakis -> Those remaining on Aegis use @.

Chirakis -> ::hands the mic to Roberts::

Wes Roberts -> Before we begin, as everyone knows, Leonard Nimoy passed away today, after battling end stage COPD. There've been quite a number of memorials from Wil Wheaton to the VA remembering him. the one memorial that always means more is this:

...yet it should be noted, in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most ... human.

Wes Roberts -> And now...

Dacia Sandero -> ::drinking some tea as she tends to sickbay on the Aegean::

Alexis McFarland -> @ ::as it's a Sunday morning, she's still fast asleep::

mimipavilion -> @::goes and checks on the Horta and her baby::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> :: On the Aegean in they mess eating soup ::

will_marx -> ::trying to find a comfortable standing position on the bridge of the Aegean...and failing::

Kallah Ramson -> I assume our guide ahead hasn't noticed us yet?

will_marx -> No ma'am. They're deaf, dumb, and blind to us

Kallah Ramson -> ::stands beside the command chair

Dacia Sandero -> ::Hopes the Horta's home planet checks out::

Kallah Ramson -> ::looking at the viewscreen:: Have we made adjustments to the cloak for the nebula?

mimipavilion -> @::notes that Horta and egg are just fine::

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::turns to check on Aegean's progress, only then remembering there's no way to track the ship besides a sitrep from them directly:::

Annisha -> :: After a rough night at her friend's place, she managed to end up sleeping under the bed, her feet sticking out the side ::

Jylliene -> Yes ma'am, engineering was put on that first thing.

Kallah Ramson -> Good.

Kallah Ramson -> ::feels that's enough moral support for the standing offices.... takes a seat in the command chair::

CdrBrown ->@ ::begins to rub the sides of his face:: ugh, most of this is just rubbish.

Lawliet -> ::looking through the database on the nebula::

Annisha -> @ :: She tosses and turns a bit :: "You stay away you mean cat... "

Alexis McFarland -> @ ::Sprawled in bed::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> :: Nijil watches engineering on his larger PADD ::

Annisha -> @ :: taps the box spring above her, thinking she's fending off a cat ::

Kallah Ramson -> ::looking over to tac:: Assuming the transport goes off it's current course and heads towards the planet, ETA to it's course correction?

will_marx -> 45 minutes.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> :: Displaying a matrix of cloak readings ::

Kallah Ramson -> ::nods::

Kallah Ramson -> ::pulls out the PADD from the side of the command chair::

Alexis McFarland -> @ :: doesn't feel it as she has a thick box spring and foam mattress, brushes her foot against Annisha's::

Tarisa -> ::Poking at some of the new consoles. Her tail swishing wildly.:: Oooo...

Dacia Sandero -> ::looks at readings and information about the planet::

Annisha -> @ :: Tosses some more...:: Nice kitty... go play with Mr. Cuddles..

will_marx -> ::puts the tactical plot on overlay of the main screen:: Byron and Imahara are at the positions indicated, trailing us.

will_marx -> Pretty impressive sensor stealth, without being a cloak.

mimipavilion -> @::after taking a tour of sickbay, goes to her office and does some paperwork::

CdrBrown -> @::puzzled look begins to form on his brow::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> :: Finishes up his soup and takes his show on the road...down to main engineering ::

Revon -> ::Magic Edits over to the Aegean. Security.::

Annisha -> @ :: Laughs ::

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::doing things, keeping the corridors clear, checking stuff, missing Kital::

Alexis McFarland -> @ What's so funny?

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::it's just... quiet up here:::

Lawliet -> ::looks over a few reports he's fallen behind on::

Kallah Ramson -> True, though the cloak is a more tried and true technology. Well, for the Romulans it is at least.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> :: Enters main engineering :: +Aegean Bridge+ I have arrived back in main engineering. I believe I have worked some improvements to the cloak through the medium of a nebula.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ (Cdr Brown, you on the Cnc?)

CdrBrown -> ((that i are))

Annisha -> @ Whaaa? :: bounces her head :: Something was brushing against me.. is a cat in here?

Alexis McFarland -> @ ::peeks over her blanket:: No cat.

Wes Roberts -> @::at his station, flannel pajama bottoms, bathrobe and fuzzy bunny slipper'd::

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::stretching, he takes a look around the CnC::

Alexis McFarland -> @ Maybe we should get a bunk bed? I call top bunk.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::and then the bunny slippers:::

Annisha -> @ Ah shucks.. I thought I heard purring too. That cat person really got to me.

Alexis McFarland -> @ ::shrugs:: Deck plating vibration?

Annisha -> @ That would be something..

Alexis McFarland -> @More so that any of the Caitians in school?

Revon -> ::Looking over the various equipment you'd need for a boarding action. Flashbangs, check. Smokes, check. Atmosphere-deprivation charges? Well, a little improvisation wouldn't hurt.::

Wes Roberts -> @Its good to be the Station Commander.

Kallah Ramson -> ::Ops:: A deep scan would tip our hat, but any way of knowing what's in the transports hold?

Wes Roberts -> @

Alexis McFarland -> @ ::looks at the chrono:: Good morning.

Jylliene -> ::ponders that::

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::Roberts:: Sir?

Annisha -> @ :: Hits the floor :: Not that I have seen. I wonder if that Tarisa person has any kids.

Alexis McFarland -> @ I doubt it. She looks pretty young.

Wes Roberts -> @ I think I may institute "Casual Sundays" for station personnel duty periods.

Annisha -> @ :: pulls herself out from under the bed :: Yeah.,..

will_marx -> ::tap, tap, tapitty tap at his station::

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::puzzled expression turns into a grin:: Works for me, sir. How casual are we talkin' about?

Alexis McFarland -> @ Hungries?

mimipavilion -> @::glad she isn't on the CnC right now::

Alexis McFarland -> @ :Brushes her hair straight::

Jylliene -> Passive scans might give some information, but it'd be hard to say what they'd reveal. We might be lucky, or we might find out next to nothing.

Annisha -> @ Yeah, some kid mix.

Wes Roberts -> @ We're not talking Betazed Wedding. Off-duty attire, with in normal reason.

Alexis McFarland -> @ Should be some in the fridge.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::nod:: Sounds good to me, sir.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> @ :: Logs into the main engineering console ::

Jylliene -> Beyond that, there's really not much - unless they have dutifully recorded their cargo and aren't trying to hide what they might be dropping off; could try to look into the records to find a manifest.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::checks the chrono, set to time the windows for Aegean check in:::

Jylliene -> But quite frankly, if they're going to stop at the planet to drop anything, it's likely not going to be showing on the manifest.

Dacia Sandero -> ::checks their position::

Kallah Ramson -> See what you can dig up.

Revon -> ::Tapping fingers rapidly against a crate of phaser clips. Not so much impatient as he is anxious.::

Revon -> Man, I need to calm myself down... Wonder if there's a bar 'round here.

Jylliene -> Already working on it.

Annisha -> @ :: Goes to the frige and gets some Kid-O's ::

Lawliet -> ::finishes his reports and sits back...looking out the display::

Jylliene -> ::digging it up, having pulled up the registry::

Alexis McFarland -> @ ::Replicates up some pancakes and syrup::

Revon -> ::Waves to the desk attendant on his way out.:: I'll be back half. Just gonna go clear my head a little.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::sudden thought:: Mr. Roberts, sir?

CdrBrown -> @::looks over at Wes:: Now if only you could find a way to make intelligence reports make sense on casual sundays...

Dacia Sandero -> Hmm ::looks at their position::

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::stops, letting Brown take the lead:::

Kallah Ramson -> Honestly, this is open territory and they can trade what they want. Assuming it doesn't come from or pass through allied territory.

Wes Roberts -> @ Indeed. They have a way of being rather...unintelligent.

CdrBrown -> @::catalogs a set of coordinates, the 8th set he has culled from the intel reports he has been working on the last day and a half::

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::small snort at putting "intelligence" and "sense" in the same sentence:::

Wes Roberts -> @ Yes Mr Jackson?

Fletcher Jackson -> @ Sir, is there a designated window for Aegean check-in, or are they on their own?

mimipavilion -> ::finishes up her report, heads out of her office, leaving sickbay with Dr. Mallard in charge and makes her way to the CnC::

Annisha -> @ :: Puts it in a bowl, goes to the table and eats ::

Alexis McFarland -> @ ::feeds Chester then places her pancakes and OJ on the table::

Lawliet -> ::thinks about the coming mission:: Even for a species long lived as myself, the wait is brutal.

Wes Roberts -> @ They're on their own, unless they need positively, absolutely *can't* handle it

mimipavilion -> @::after a few moments, she's on the CnC::

Fletcher Jackson -> @ Aye, sir.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::resets the chrono to normal:::

CdrBrown -> @Mostly useless prattle. the lesser classified reports give more sensitive looking intel, almost as though they are expected to be intercepted... either to draw people away from something or towards something...

Jylliene -> ::finds the manifest, not that difficult; the question is, does it really say anything useful::

Jylliene -> ::scans::

Kallah Ramson -> ::turns towards bridge aft, addressing the officers on the bridge:: We need to prep a method of getting onto the planets surface undetected by anyone bothering to be looking.

Jylliene -> ::scans the manifest, that is, not scans the ship::

mimipavilion -> @::looks around the CnC::

will_marx -> HALO drop?

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::catches the doctor out of the corner of his eye:: Something I can help you with, ma'am?

Lawliet -> ::to Ramson:: We might be able to modify the transport beam to "blend" in with the background radiation of the nebula.

CdrBrown -> @::looks up:: Mimi! ::catchers himself:: err, ahem.. Dr. Pavilion.

mimipavilion -> @::Fletcher:: Nope. Just here to listen to a better sound than the one in sickbay.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ Any time, ma'am. Coffee's fresh.

Kallah Ramson -> HALO drop is good for getting in. Little tricky getting back out.

mimipavilion -> @::looks at Brian:: Who let you back here?

will_marx -> You asked about getting in, ma'am. Not getting out.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::goes back to business, doubling up at OPS since it's Sunday:::

CdrBrown -> @::smirks:: they are still trying to figure that out.

mimipavilion -> @What I don't need is another mess from you.

Kallah Ramson -> ::Lawliet:: Do we have enough data on the planet's atmosphere to safely beam through it. It's played havoc with sensors.

CdrBrown -> @ Mess? which mess are you referring to?

mimipavilion -> @Does it matter?

Annisha -> @ :: Eating her cereal, but still sleepy :: I must have been running in my sleep.

Dacia Sandero -> ::sipping her tea::

CdrBrown -> @ There were many messes. most were not my fault....

Kallah Ramson -> ::has an idea:

Wes Roberts -> @ That's usually the way it was when I was planning my shipping raids. Using the smaller bits of intel to find what the target is

Jylliene -> ::as she figured, nothing unusual on the manifest::

Wes Roberts -> @And I let him back on. Figured he can't do any damage looking over intelligence reports

Jylliene -> Nothing of interest on the manifest, ma'am.

Lawliet -> ::to Ramson:: We'll have better data once we get closer for a more detailed scan.

mimipavilion -> @Keep telling yourself that, Brian.

Kallah Ramson -> ::nods to Ops::

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::half listening to Pavilion and Brown::

Alexis McFarland -> @ Again? You should talk to Dacia about that. She could probably prescribe you something for it. ::eating her pancakes::

Annisha -> @ Dad thinks my mind is too active... :: eats ::

mimipavilion -> @::looks at Wes:: Should have known, sir. ::looks back at Brian:: How long are you going to be here?

Kallah Ramson -> ::begins to grin at the absurdity of her plan::

will_marx -> If the planet's atmosphere's playing holy havoc with the transporters, shuttlecraft'll have to be the best way in

Alexis McFarland -> @ Ahh. Most kids' minds are active.

CdrBrown -> @ ::grinning:: about 2 weeks. next ship i am booked on doesn't get in until then

will_marx -> ::notes Kallah's grin, and suddenly has a bad feeling::

mimipavilion -> @::nods:: I think we can survive until then. Just try not to injure yourself or the CMO is going to have a fit.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::fields a message from the cargo bay about a backed up head:::

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::slides to the right, sending a message to maintenance:::

Lawliet -> ::notices Ramson's smile:: Commander?

Kallah Ramson -> We've witnessed two ways ships have offloaded cargo. Landing... somewhere in that soup of an atmosphere or cargo pod transfer.

CdrBrown -> @ ::proudly:: I have gone 12 weeks without injury. ::flexes his left wrist:: Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::12 weeks?::glances over:::

Jylliene -> ((I am so hanging one of those "time without injury" signs in his office.))

mimipavilion -> @::doesn't believe him:: Ok. I'll buy that.

Kallah Ramson -> Assuming the ship we're tracking lands, possibility of piggybacking on it's decent.

Lawliet -> ....Hiding in it's wake. Where it's sensors are blind.

Annisha -> @ :: yawns :: I just need a good rest.

will_marx -> Unless its primary buffer panel goes flying off during the reentry sequence.

Alexis McFarland -> @ Maybe you need a comfier bed?

Kallah Ramson -> In a way.

CdrBrown -> @ at least the ships i sign on with are smart enough to not give me command or let me drive.. ::looks slightly off in the distance:: I should probably take the USS Odyssey off my resume...

Alexis McFarland -> @ ::picks up and hugs Chester after he finished eating::

Lawliet -> ::raises any eyebrow:: We'll need to be close...vary close to avoid detection.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::oh, he's that Brown....:::

Kallah Ramson -> ::turns to Tac:: A HALO jump through an atmosphere that thick is going to deal with a high degree of reentry burn. Correct?

mimipavilion -> @ Yeah that's a good idea there, Brian. ::eyerolls::

Annisha -> @ :: nods :: Yes, some change for sure. Did they say how long they would be gone?

Jylliene -> ::listening::

will_marx -> Usually. Nothing an ablative suit can't handle though

Kallah Ramson -> ::Lawliet:: Would standing on the hull of the transport be close enough?

Alexis McFarland -> @ No. She had it'd might be a few days?

mimipavilion -> @::turns to Wes:: How's your daughters and wife, Mr. Roberts?

CdrBrown -> @::goes back to culling through reports, placing coordinates on the grid as he finds them::

Annisha -> @ I think the cat officer went with them. Could have had her over.

Wes Roberts -> @ Doing well. L'lilla's adjusted well.

Alexis McFarland -> @ Yes, she went with them.

Lawliet -> ::warry look:: Standing?

mimipavilion -> @That's good to hear.

Kallah Ramson -> ::folds arms, grinning again:: I am considering transporting a drop team onto the surface of the transport during it's entry into the planet's atmosphere. They will ride it through to worst of the atmosphere.

mimipavilion -> @Have you heard anything from the Aegean?

Jylliene -> ::Blinks at the idea::

Wes Roberts -> @ They're on com blackout. Wouldn't do for the bad guys to hear their subspace transmissions.

Kallah Ramson -> Then they will break away and make a standard jump to the surface. They can then set up a transporter beacon.

mimipavilion -> @::nods:: Understood.

will_marx -> ::nods::

Lawliet -> Commander....I like your style. I'll begin making calculations.

will_marx -> -=Harada=- Mr Harada, are your jump certifications up to date?

Annisha -> @ Well doesn't that Bite the Borg.

Revon -> +Marx+ ::Snapped out of his trance, nearly spilling his drink.:: U-, Uh... Yes, sir! Renewed monthly.

Alexis McFarland -> @Interesting analogy.

Lawliet -> ::begins planning trajectory and simulations::

will_marx -> -=Harada=- Good. Start drawing equipment for a potential HALO insertion

will_marx -> ::looks over at Kallah:: How many suits, Commander?

Annisha -> @ :: laughs :: They don't even eat.

Alexis McFarland -> @ Nope. ::giggles::

Revon -> +Marx+ Aye sir! I'll be right... Wait, what? ::Taps his badge, but the channel's already cut.:: Revon -> Hoo, boy. This oughta be good.

CdrBrown -> @ ::quietly:: Computer, compare the list of coordinates and known objects in those areas to anything described in the reports requiring higher clearances and sort them accordingly.

Annisha -> @ :: looks at Alexis :: So what do they do with mind readers like yourself?

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::rocks back in his chair since not much is going on:::

CdrBrown -> @::stands up while the computer culls the data and eyes the replicator::

Wes Roberts -> @ There should be fresh coffee in the staff lounge. Possibly even pastries.

Alexis McFarland -> @ Assimilate them into their collective?

Kallah Ramson -> ::pondering:: Need someone to carry the beacon. Someone with scanner to manage the jump. And someone with gear and weaponry. Redundancy.... 2 teams of 3. Six suits.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> :: This engineering room was much smaller than he was used to, not as many people, but just as busy.

CdrBrown -> @::looks at Wes:: possible even pastries? are you implying that Mr Fletcher may have consumed or discarded the remaining pastries?

Annisha -> @ Right.. do you read minds as a drone?

will_marx -> -=Harada=- We'll need six suits drawn out, plus cargo containers for the jump

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::on hearing his name, he turns:: Sir?

Alexis McFarland -> @ Probably. Don't they all read each others' mind or something like that? I learned that in School in New York.

mimipavilion -> @::listens to Wes and Brian's conversations and smirks::

Kallah Ramson -> ::turns forwards in her chair:: Inform me if you have problems filling out the teams. I am cleared for this maneuver as well.

Annisha -> @ Yeah, over subspace, the mental frontier.

Wes Roberts -> @ No, Mr Brown. But it is possible that Services may not have brought them up.

Alexis McFarland -> @ That's kinda like mind reading.

Kallah Ramson -> ACTION: Ops sensor blip alarm, Transport is changing course.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::caught "Fletcher" and "pastries" and that's about it:::

Revon -> +Marx+ Eyyup, roger that! ::Sweeps open the door to Main Sec. Cracks his knuckles and squares off his shoulders.:: Any special equipment on our persons?

CdrBrown -> @::glances over at Jackson:: You are safe.... for now...

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::lets out a breath:: Yes, sir.

CdrBrown -> @:back at Wes and mimi:: either of you want anything from the staff lounge?

mimipavilion -> @I think I should come up here more often.

mimipavilion -> @I'm good

Wes Roberts -> @ I'm good, thank you.

Fletcher Jackson -> @ ::and now.. he has pastries on his mind:::

will_marx -> -=Harada=- Transporter beacon, gear and weapons.

Jylliene -> Transport changing course as anticipated.

Kallah Ramson -> ::would really like to give the Romulan drop suits they have onboard a try outside of the simulators::

Kallah Ramson -> ::nods to Ops:: Pilot, keep with them.

will_marx -> Medical, sciences, security, engineering. I think Commander Kital should remain aboard, and in command.

Revon -> +Marx+ Transporter beacon... ::Strokes his chin. Smiles.:: Copy that. It'll be ready within the hour. Security out.

Dacia Sandero -> Oooh, changing course now?

will_marx -> THat's if you're going to make the jump with us

CdrBrown -> @::heads off with pastries and coffee on his mind::

Wes Roberts -> PAUSE SIM

Wes Roberts -> PAUSE SIM

Kallah Ramson -> ::smiles:: Luckily I never named an XO for this mission so I don't have anyone telling me I can't.

Wes Roberts -> Heading off for pastries and coffee seemed like a logical pause point

Chirakis -> Indeed.

Lawliet -> ::paused::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> So tired...

Revon -> I hear that...

Wes Roberts -> Commander, if you ever tell me I can't go anywhere, I'll keelhaul you

Wes Roberts -> TBS will be 3 hours, with Aegean's insertion team ready to go get their jump and pathfinder pay

Wes Roberts -> Any questions?

Nijil tr'Korjata -> Have the team members been decided?

Wes Roberts -> THere'll be at least six. Commander Ramson?

Kallah Ramson -> Think we can confirm who's going in log before next sim.

Wes Roberts -> Does that suffice, Mr tr'Korjata?

Nijil tr'Korjata -> Sure

Wes Roberts -> Any other questions?

Kallah Ramson -> Don't want to commit someone if their character would never have had any jump experience.

Revon -> Can I volunteer?

will_marx -> Its only that first step that they have to watch out for

CdrBrown -> that and making sure the Russian judge doesn't mess up the landing..

Kallah Ramson -> ...though I would enjoy seeing Scott's reaction to returning in mid plummet.

Wes Roberts -> I think we all would, Commander

Fletcher Jackson -> Right about now I'm glad I didn't go.

Wes Roberts -> If there are no other questions, *dismiss* and enjoy the weekend.
