[STSF_BluRox 0]

USS Republic Mission Briefing 51508.17

 

STSF_BluRox -> The crew had picked up some readings on the long range sensors that seem to match those of the small ships that had surprise attacked us before. We have been closing range, but soon will be in their sensor range as well, and must determine how best to approach.

Meanwhile..... Blu is about to bring Holly back online....

 

STSF_BluRox -> Questions?

Heather Jamieson -> Can we leave before Holly is online?

 

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

 

STSF_BluRox -> (ps...Don’t get hurt.....it seems the dr isn't here tonight)

Rue Wydown -> ((is there anywhere to hide when Holly comes back up online?))

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Stays up in the bridge where it's safe® when Holly comes back online::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Feeding Kasuga her best sensors scans and best approach vectors :

Heather Jamieson -> ((Yes, void of space))

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::still on the bridge as well, monitoring the tracking::

Rue Wydown -> ::really hasn't had any interaction with Holly, so has no fear and no clue about what may or may not happen::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Analyzing the senor readings Heather sends her way::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Felt a bit odd sharing between her and Kasuga ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::hopes Holly isn't to crazy when she wakes up::

STSF_BluRox -> :: in sickbay, deciding to activate her in the smaller enclosed space, rather than Holodeck 1 or the bridge::

STSF_BluRox -> :: presses the button to re-initiate the program::

Christina_Nickles -> ::still on the bridge assisting with whatever she can::

Rue Wydown -> Let's see, unpacking is done, ship tour is done, notation of all the buttons that should never ever be pressed is done, so ::rubs her hands together:: let's see what kind of trouble we can get into.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Steps onto the lift:: Bridge

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> :: activates in a fury, looking around her for Kwai, and realizing she is no longer in Holodeck 2::

Christina_Nickles -> We are getting pretty close to those readings I hope they don’t see us first.

Ayumu Kasuga -> I hope so too maybe.

 

Holly> ACTION:: IMMEDIATELY LOCKS DOWN THE SHIP, LIFTS, PUTS UP SECURITY FIELDS AND ACTIVATES THE RED ALERT.

 

Heather Jamieson -> We don't exactly know their senso-

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks up:: I think Holly's back up.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Balls.

Rue Wydown -> Hmmm...still a little glitchy? I thought you all would have worked out all the kinks by now.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yes, bollocks.

August Jax Robinson -> ::sighs and looks up::

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Holly....calm down. We have things under control now..... do a quick computer scan::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Maintain track on those ships so we dont lose em

August Jax Robinson -> Computer move lift 2 to the Bridge

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> Where is she?!

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Nods:: Right. I still have them; no current change or deviation of their present course heading thus far.

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Holly....calm down. Scan the computer. You'll see she's been transferred over to Starfleet Medical so that they can try to help her..

Rue Wydown -> Can someone please turn that blasted light and sound off/

Holly> How...explain to me....how...she was able to shut me down into that buffer. I only agreed to allow you to have that to shut those doubting admirals up. But you were supposed to be the only one with that command code.

Holly> Perhaps you had best tell me why she had it, and why you allowed her to try to kill me?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Nods to Will ::

 

August Jax Robinson -> +Bridge+ this is Jax.... I am stuck in the lift

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> She did not try to kill you, she merely shunted you into that 'time out ' buffer. Similar to if she had gassed some of the crew, just knocking them out of the way. You have to realize she was not herself at the time

Christina_Nickles -> :: tries to shut off the klaxons::

Ayumu Kasuga -> +August+ Holly placed the ship under a security lock down.

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> I'd say she was not herself, she was a giant bug. You should have swatted her while you had a chance.

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Look Holly...we'll talk about this, but right now. I need you to give me control of those systems you just locked up. At least, turn off that damned klaxon, it's giving me a headache

Christina_Nickles -> Im not having any luck Sir... I’m sorry but I’m locked out. ::to Wydown::

Vilanne -> Manticore: G'night Harnett

August Jax Robinson -> +Kasuga+ Beeeep!

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks :: Sensors are locked down. I need them freed.

Ayumu Kasuga -> +August+ Turbolift controls, as well as that of the klaxon are all locked out

Rue Wydown -> Can someone explain to me why the crew would be locked out of their own systems? Isn't that a security, or at the very least, a safety issue?

August Jax Robinson -> +Kasuga+ Find Will, tell him to do something... OR ELSE!

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Will:: August is currently stuck in the turbolift. You may want to find a way to get her out, or restore control of the lift

Christina_Nickles -> ::to Wydown:: I think it may have something to do with Holly.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::sends a nice text to Holly:: 'ATTN: Holly...need the ship right now to save the universe, could you please be mad a few hours from now instead? Thank you kindly.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ...in her words: "OR ELSE!"

LtCmdrRobinson -> Everything on the ship is a safety issue of some sort. We seem to have more than most.

Rue Wydown -> Good to know. ::nods::

Laehval tTemarr -> (Have a nice sim, Republicans.)

 

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> Explain to me...just why she was able to use your codes. We had an agreement. I'm sure you'd not be happy, if I were to remove the atmosphere and shut you down, or put you in stasis and put you out for a while..

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Jolan tru!)

STSF_BluRox -> (Nice seeing you Laehval)

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> You know as well as I do, that I had a severe head injury for some time, I was unable to make reliable lifesaving decisions on my own for a bit. Emergency medical protocols passed my codes over to Kwai. I did not realize, that in her transformed state, she'd even remember or be able to access those codes.

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> It was totally an error on my part....and for that...my apologies...

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::tracking other ship::

LtCmdrRobinson -> I asked her nicely to give us the ship back. That’s about all we can do at the moment. ::shrugs::

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> :: scanning recent files, notes that Kwai is indeed gone from the ship and that the crew is actually tracking those ships that had previously attacked the Republic, pretending to be Federation supply ships.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Nods:: I agree. Best not to rock the boat.

LtCmdrRobinson -> But we are still all breathing air at the moment, so she isnt as mad as you'd think.

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> :: shuts down the Klaxon, and releases the security lock out::

Rue Wydown -> Holly. That's your AI, right? ::tilts her head;: Why does she have so much control of the ship's systems? Isnt there a work around her?

Ayumu Kasuga -> There we go. Normal power resumed.

 

Rue Wydown -> Well, that's better

August Jax Robinson -> ::Opens panel and pushes on the manually release lever to open the doors enough put her hands into pull on them open::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Yes indeed there is. We can self-destruct suddenly. As far as I know, that is the best workaround available.

Heather Jamieson -> Oh thank whomever...

Ayumu Kasuga -> Only the Admiral... and apparently Captain Kwai had authority to utilize that workaround.. which is probably why Holly's so miffed now.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Returns to relaying data to Kasuga ::

Christina_Nickles -> OK we have control again

Holly> :: still annoyed and picks up the chatter on the bridge:: Oh. That woman is back again? :: instantly decides to fill her replicator with Toast:: And Will's too, for letting this happen.

Rue Wydown -> Fantastic. Give me liberty from the AI or death, hmm? ::grins::

Ayumu Kasuga -> THe ship also apparently is still maintaining its present course

August Jax Robinson -> ::steps off the lift once it reaches the Bridge::

 

Christina_Nickles -> :: does not say anything to Jax knowing she may be really ticked off::

Holly> :: walks over to Blu :: I'll not blow up your new ship for now, I have sort of liked the upgrade, and...I'll let your crew remain....as bothersome as they can sometimes be, they do generally amuse me most of the time.

August Jax Robinson -> {{Thanks a lot Will! you are cleaning that up}}

Holly> However, we have to have a long talk about updating that code, so that NOBODY else.....has it. That was our previous agreement, I trusted you.....

Heather Jamieson -> :: Thought that was Holly's doing, but despite that, she did find her tickets on that shoreleave ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at Will:: What's the heck?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::waves at August:: Holly, what else?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Wait till she finds out I shot up her holodeck. You might want to keep your distance.

STSF_BluRox -> I'm sorry Holly....just part of the emergency security command protocol to protect the ship. We did not anticipate, that Kwai would be changed into a creature....

Rue Wydown -> Ooh, I can't wait to see what happens then. Where's my popcorn?

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> Oh really? Like half your crew hasn't been transformed into at least 1 to 2 different things already.....This ship is a virtual flying menagerie some days. and when they're not some type of creature, I swear they are mentally effected. And as your ships counselor, I can attest to that...

Christina_Nickles -> I dont want to be anywhere around when Holly releases her fury

Ayumu Kasuga -> Uhh, can't Holly pick up chatter from anywhere on the ship, like the main computer?

 

Heather Jamieson -> :: Shrugs to Kasuga ::

Christina_Nickles -> ::nods::

August Jax Robinson -> no one tell her.. duh

LtCmdrRobinson -> I'll tell her, I dont mind.

Holly> Having picked up the main reports on her Holodeck, and Will and Christina's idea to shoot it up..... make sure that the replicators keep spitting out toast, which is now cascading from the unit, into a large pile about waist high from the floor.....

LtCmdrRobinson -> Besides, I was trying to shoot Kwai in the process. I'm sure she will appreciate that.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks at her console:: Uh oh.. noticing a large power drain emanating from the replicators.

Rue Wydown -> What's wrong with that? ::raises a brow::

Christina_Nickles -> The replicators??

Ayumu Kasuga -> Nothing.. unless you don't like toast

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::growls::

Christina_Nickles -> Toast??

 

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to the console and begins the process of inputting a new code::

Ayumu Kasuga -> That's kinda her thing.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Or so Hans told me once.

Christina_Nickles -> I have been warned not to make Holly mad but never told why.

August Jax Robinson -> I am sleeping in my office tonight.. you have fun cleaning up William

Holly> I don't think I like the fact that you are going to re-institute that destruct code. It's like a death sentence hanging over my head. What if someone were to incapacitate you again, or control your brain?

August Jax Robinson -> ::takes a seat at the Engineering console, looks over the progress::

Christina_Nickles -> Where are those ships?

LtCmdrRobinson -> The kids will have eaten half of it before we get off-shift

STSF_BluRox -> Don't worry....I have to maintain the promise I made to headquarters that we'd have an emergency code since you have some level of executive command and control on the ship. However, as it is your home, has been invaded, and your trust somewhat broken...

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> Somewhat?!

Ayumu Kasuga -> Still ahead of us, holding course; they either haven't noticed us yet or don't care we're following them.

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Calm down...yes, somewhat, but this time, only I will have it, and it will not be included in the emergency transfer packet. I've separated it from the gr

LtCmdrRobinson -> Just watch it when they get near any planets, in case they drop speed suddenly

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods:: Aye aye.

STSF_BluRox -> from the command packet, and only I will have access to it. nobody else. And you can put a 10 second hold on it, to verify it with me before it would ever go into effect again.

 

Heather Jamieson -> Sensor readings of their engines remain constant.

Rue Wydown -> Can we predict what course they might take?

STSF_BluRox -> remember this is also for your protection, and part of the agreement to keep you here with us, rather than transferred to Starfleet Science

August Jax Robinson -> ::doesn't look in Will's direction:: are you going to yellow tape and bag the toast again?

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> Calms down and changes from her angry red dress to her Commander's uniform:: I'll give you this one mistake, but remember, we have an agreement. Do not let anyone else try

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> :: meantime, has been reading Ayumu'

STSF_BluRox -> s data and extrapolating a better way around a small gravity well, and forwards it up to the bridge

HollY> So Kwai is gone? I won't have to put up with the bug queen trying to kill me again?

Ayumu Kasuga -> The ship's movement have been pre-- oh... new data. ::reads it over::

STSF_BluRox ->Only off ship for a while, and we just discussed that, you will not provoke or taunt her when she returns, am I clear?

Ayumu Kasuga -> It's a course correction around a small gravity well we detected earlier, according to my readings, it should significantly save time navigating around it. Thanks, Holly.

Holly> That, we will have to see, on her state of return. If she comes back as some sort of giant bug, or just bug brained...

LtCmdrRobinson -> No August, I wont. Probably

 

ACTION> The Robinson's replicator has been filling like a Las Vegas slot machine that hit the jackpot. The Robinson kids think it’s hilarious, and are now building large stacks of toast, constructing a huge toast fort in the living room of their quarters

 

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, Holly....August has her teams working to fix Holodeck 2 for you. It was not the best idea to place her in there. Holodeck 1 is yours for the time being, but I do hope you will share it some with the crew do they can relax as well

LtCmdrRobinson -> (our kids are awesome like that)

August Jax Robinson -> ::blames Will, now and plans to later as well::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Wonder if Holly ever 'bunks' with other crew, then wondered why she even thought that ::

August Jax Robinson -> {{Fort of Crustation}}

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> If I must..... Just see to it, that this never, ever happens again. I'll hold you personally responsible if it is even attempted.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ((Fort Wonder))

Christina_Nickles -> ((LOL))

Rue Wydown -> ((Better than Fort Bunny or Fort SaraLee))

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Holly, look we've had a good working relationship, let's just chalk this up to an unidentified security loophole, that we've now identified and closed. Now, in the meantime, we need to help the bridge. Will and ops are looking for some ships

Christina_Nickles -> ::to Will:: Sir am I needed here any longer? If not I am going to head back to main Security.

STSF_BluRox -> Holly> Already handled it. I sent them some course corrections already and they are on it now.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::nods at Nickles:: Check the office for any replicator problems while you are there

Holly> :: Decides there has been enough toast:: I'll let them know you're on the way back to the bridge

Christina_Nickles -> Yes Sir. :: turns and heads for the lift::

Christina_Nickles -> :: enters the lift:: Main Security

August Jax Robinson -> Gunner> I have but one Cruton to give to my Kingdom!

Holly> :: disappears from medical and shows up on the Bridge:: You guys, are really, really bad at bug hunting. Next time Will...get yourself a giant swatter...

Christina_Nickles -> :: halts as Holly arrives ::

Holly> Oh, by the way, Blu's on the way back to the bridge. She wants to know the status of finding those raiders

STSF_BluRox -> (lol Jax)

Rue Wydown -> ::tilts her head, studying the AI as she appears on the bridge::

Christina_Nickles -> :: trys to get the doors to close and be underway::

LtCmdrRobinson -> I will try, or more phasers.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Nearly chokes as Holly materializes ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Of course, if my Wife® hadn’t moved Kwai to the holodeck in the first place... ::glances::

 

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

Christina_Nickles -> :: closes the doors and sighs a sigh of relief as she starts for Security

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::throws August under the shuttle::

Christina_Nickles -> ::

August Jax Robinson -> it was HEATHER!

Christina_Nickles -> ::paused::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Paused:::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::psd::

STSF_BluRox -> lol...How did Jax get blamed! lol

LtCmdrRobinson -> She was in charge?

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, buys that

Rue Wydown -> :)

STSF_BluRox -> (is why also you got extra toast!)

STSF_BluRox -> Nice sim you all, and now we have breakfast and lunch for days

STSF_BluRox -> Any questions?

Christina_Nickles -> none here

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, so next week we'll go try to capture or destroy those raiders
