USS Republic Mission Briefing 51510.05

The two away teams have been very productive and have each managed to have found something of interest to our search.

Wydown's shuttle has picked up some sort of base on the cold L class world, and Will's shuttle, has managed to have found a small minefield, and now has sights on a small approaching ship, searching through the minefield.....when suddenly...there as a loud Boom..

STSF_BluRox -> LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() They are still in the minefield. Power up, blow the mines around him now! Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Aye Sir :: powers up weapons and fires at the newly laid asteroids::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::explosions and things!::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() should I break the comm silence now, or wait?

Christina_Nickles -> :: has just fired at the asteroids::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::sitting on the bridge, watching the sensors::

 

ACTION> As the small raider ship had just finished placing new sets of mines, they spotted what appeared to be a ship....

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ((Mines Nickles, not asteroids :P))

STSF_BluRox -> Christina has just shot.

Christina_Nickles -> **Mines

STSF_BluRox -> (nope..I even hinted..too late, she said asteroids again)

Heather Jamieson -> ((sorry, nothing moving on screen))

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ((I will cry actual man-tears))

Christina_Nickles -> (( ;;sighs sorry a lot on my mind at the moment))

STSF_BluRox -> (see log, see hint above...)

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::nods at August:: Call it in.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Sends message quick-quick to the Republic::

 

ACTION> Christina fired and hit a few of the small asteroids, however....with a lucky shot, several of the exploding fragments managed to set off a few of the mines as well

 

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> :: continuing to guide the shuttle around ::

Rue Wydown -> Well, this should be interesting. ::watching out the view screen, trying to determine their next step::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Retarget and fire again!

Christina_Nickles -> (( I love you dice))

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Redirecting and firing :: Does so::

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

Ayumu Kasuga -> We got a message from Will's shuttle. Very short, should I send it to your console, sir?

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION> The small raider ship has incurred some damage as well, but the explosion has now set many of the asteroids in the field to bouncing off one another, and more mines are being hit..

Ayumu Kasuga -> What's all these explosion-- wait, I think I know to that.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() August, full reverse.

STSF_BluRox -> (we moved, remember Ayumu.....)

Jas -> ((So *now* the chat login page decides to show up...))

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Ah, not on sensors then, eh? ok my bad)

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Sir I say we get out of here before one of them hit us?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() aye, moving us back

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> I am unsure if we can get any closer without detection.

 

STSF_BluRox -> (same reason we didn't get the other team's message as well)

LtCmdrRobinson -> ((Woah woah woah, any explosion I orchestrate will be detected Galaxies away. GALAXIES!!!!))

STSF_BluRox -> (I didn't say he won't, he just has to face a dice roll....to see if he's still too busy eating ice cream to have noticed)

STSF_BluRox -> (Kwai, please message me a number 1-10)

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::locks on and transports a stray mine and drops it in front of the other ship::

Jas -> $ Do we know how many there are?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() be careful Hun

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() we have a slow speed remember

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() I am never careful in a crisis.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Shall I back out at best speed?

STSF_BluRox -> (Ayumu...give me a number 1-10 please)

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() August, just keep backing us out.

Ayumu Kasuga -> (6)

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() I am moving us right now..

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::takes a deep breath::

STSF_BluRox -> (Meh.....close enough. drat. )

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> No yet in detail

 

ACTION> Long range sensors pick up some sort of disturbance back towards where we dispatched one of the shuttles

 

Christina_Nickles -> (( The Dice like me tonight))

ACTION> Asteroid takes out mine Will just beamed, causes more damage to the raider ship

STSF_BluRox -> (brb, need to get my other dice bag)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (lol..)

Christina_Nickles -> ((No no I like these))

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

STSF_BluRox -> (stupid dice are messing up all my evil plans...I mean...all the interesting plot twists!)

Christina_Nickles -> ((LOL))

Christina_Nickles -> (( I need something good to happen for a change))

Heather Jamieson -> ((It was harder to sneak in an replace them then you would think))

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Nickles, set a probe with a general distress signal, high power and launch it away from the direction we are heading. Hopefully it'll confuse any other ships on the way.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() and not towards the other shuttle!

 

STSF_BluRox -> # +Malcom+ This is Pete.....We've ...the mines....other ship.....:: static:: need :: boom::

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> Commander, we can only circle so many times. What are your order?

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

Ayumu Kasuga -> I sense a disturbance...

Ayumu Kasuga -> You getting that Heather?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks up at Kasuga :: Disturbance? Is it on sensors?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::starts setting the probe parameters asked for::

Rue Wydown -> What? You don't like joy riding around?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yesh

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to look at Ayumu:: If you are trying to get me to let you both have more ice cream while on the bridge, you might as well stow it

STSF_BluRox -> ............

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> around where the shuttles were before.

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> Oh I like it just fine, thought my admission earlier shocked you into silence.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Curses:: I think they got a message out... or was that us?

STSF_BluRox -> Meanwhile.....Wydown's team has spotted the communications tower.......

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Probe ready launching now.

STSF_BluRox -> (do I need to que up some bombs for Jas as well?)

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> :: Nods to the tower.. so, do we disable or tap into?

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Soon as we launch that probe I'll put us in low power mode again and hopefully we can limp out undetected.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::launches probe::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::powers down the nonessentials again::

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

Heather Jamieson -> I did not want ice cream before but now I do.

Ayumu Kasuga -> HEh

Ayumu Kasuga -> I already had an ice cream sandwich. I'm good.

 

Rue Wydown -> I'd rather we did a bit of recon. We don't have much in the way of firepower. Nor do we really have the expertise for an assault in this vehicle. Unless you are some sort of ninja? ::pauses for effect:: In other words, let's tap into their network and see what we find.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Mouth agape as she did not get that offer ::

STSF_BluRox -> Well Heather...who's fault is that now? Besides...that blinking light means no more snack time....any idea what you have there Ayumu?

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> :: Puts up his hands in a ninja pose ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Some sort of spike in the sensor readings. I'm trying to identify what that is... and if you ask Holly nice enough maybe she'll give you one too

STSF_BluRox -> :: flattens ears a bit:: Ayumu......the reading.......

STSF_BluRox -> (Heather...number 1-10)

STSF_BluRox -> (wydown, please give me a number 1-10 also)

Heather Jamieson -> (8)

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Probe launched Commander

Heather Jamieson -> :: Does a fresh sensor scan ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> It's a sudden spike here. It almost looks like an explosion of some sort.

Rue Wydown -> ((I like a 3))

STSF_BluRox -> :: Hisses:: Will..........

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::nods at Nickles:: Good, let’s hope it works

Rue Wydown -> Yeah, don't...don't...don't do that.

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> We can try to tap into their local networks if they have lapsed on their protection.

STSF_BluRox -> Take us back....evidently we're not going to sneak around the other side now..... let's go find what he's managed to blow up now...

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye aye.. Plotting a course.

Rue Wydown -> Well then...have at it.

 

ACTION: Holly takes Ayumu's suggestion, and still in a foul mood about the damage to her holodeck and certain people's suggestions to put the bleeping big bee in there in the first place...delivers a soft serve cone to Heather as well.... unfortunately....on top of her head

 

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::grumbles:: we are moving so slow

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::heading back to the location of the explosion, sees Heather get her ice cream in the corner of her eye:

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Slow but undetected.

 

!@#$%$^&*&*() ACTION: Asteroids are still bouncing off one another, and the field has become very active, more and more mines are getting hit, more explosions occurring, causing more mines to shift around. The shuttles's already low shielding, is taking the brunt of much of these rocks and explosions, but causing the shield strength to keep dropping

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> The explosions are getting stronger now...

 

# ACTION: As Wydown's ship attempts to patch into the local feed, they pick up chatter and 2 more ships launch from the cavern they spotted below

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() We cant take many more hits, Ours shields are still draining

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Shield strength dropping Commanders

Heather Jamieson -> :: frowns ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::smiles::

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

Rue Wydown -> Well, they're up to something. But what? ::raises a brow::

 

!@#$%^&*()ACTION: A suddenly much stronger explosion tosses more of the asteroids around, as the other ship is pulverized by a large asteroid and mine, both hitting it at the same time

 

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> Evasive... they have launched two ship.

 

# ACTION: The 2 ships are focused on heading towards the asteroid field and do not pick up Wydown's ship

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::Sees the explosion:: That was a big blast

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() We are almost out of the field.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Unsure if she was allowed to say anything about the cold ice cream ::

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> If their escape vector remains unchanged they may be heading towards the field.

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns and see's Heather:: Ms Jamison....I thought I told you no ice cream now, we're busy here on the bridge....now take the science station...and get rid of that cone!

Heather Jamieson -> This was not my ice cream Admiral.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() I feel like I can walk faster then we are moving

Rue Wydown -> What's the chatter all about?

Heather Jamieson -> :: It was all in her hair and she as largely unable to get it out of there. She disposed of the cone, but the cold ice cream started to melt into her hair ::

STSF_BluRox -> I suppose you're going to try to tell me it was Ayumu's? I know she had already eaten hers.....go to the head and clean that off...then get back to your station

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() I agree Sir

 

Heather Jamieson -> No, it was materialized... :: Goes to clean herself off ::

STSF_BluRox -> #+Malcom+ There is no way we can take these ships in there...that asteroid field looks like a billiard table at the break. We'll get crushed.

STSF_BluRox -> I did not ask for excuses...I told you to go clean up...

STSF_BluRox -> Ayumu...take us to our previous position...warp 7

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye aye... warp 7

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::plots a course to our previous position, and jumps to warp::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Got to the head, but wondered if only a sonic shower would clean it up ::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Ummm Commanders? We have company... 2 ships

STSF_BluRox -> # Malcom> + Intercepts 1 and 2+ Head off to a tangent from your previous location, and come around from outside the field. If someone is still trying to get out of that mess, I want you there to meet them.

STSF_BluRox -> (they're not there yet)

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> I think they spotted something on their sensor network.

Christina_Nickles -> (( OK I take it back ::erases last statement::))

Heather Jamieson -> :: Cleans her hair the best she could she reemerges onto the bridge at her station ::

Rue Wydown -> And what might that be?

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Probe> ::flies away from the asteroid field in the opposite direction, making a distress call and lots of noise, fooling all ships and Blus dice hopefully::

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> An explosion I believe.

 

ACTION> As the Republic makes it back to her original position, she not only is picking up the activity in the asteroid field, but also picks up the other ship's transmission about the communications tower....

 

STSF_BluRox -> (I'm going out tomorrow, and buying a whole new set, all of these don't work)

 

ACTION !@#$%^&**() Will's ship begins to clear the asteroid field.......

 

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> There is activity in the asteroid field, but they don't know exactly what based on the transmission.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Collects all of the transmissions incoming:: Getting all sorts of transmissions, and the explosions in the asteroid field.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() w00t!

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::crosses her fingers::

Rue Wydown -> Why do I have a bad feeling about this? ::makes a face:: And is this what drove Kwai nuts...this bad feeling?

 

# ACTION: The two raider ships come around to almost the same position and pick up Will's ship......

 

STSF_BluRox -> Ayumu.....drop us out of warp....this should be the spot....

STSF_BluRox -> TWO MINUTE WARNING

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Balls.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye sir. ::drops us out of warp::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Does a new sensor sweep ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::powers the weapons back up::

STSF_BluRox -> # +Malcom+ We've spotted it....it appears to be one of those little Federation shuttles.....but that would mean...:: Troy! Check sensors...

..

ACTION:: Republic drops out of warp and find the two raider ships closing on Will's damaged shuttle.

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::starts firing on the ships::

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

STSF_BluRox -> Ayumu...target those ships....

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: starts scanning the area::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::zeroes in on the ships:: Targets locked.

 

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*() ACTION: Will is just out of range to reach them......however, Ayumu is not...

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::spies the Republic:: Now that is timing.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::readies phasers::

STSF_BluRox -> hopefully, he does not also hit Will

STSF_BluRox -> (Ayumu...give me a number 1-20)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (14)

 

ACTION: Both raider ships are destroyed....

 

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

Heather Jamieson -> Nice shooting

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Watches sensors:: Targets neutralized.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() nice shot Will

STSF_BluRox -> Get them in here..... and find me Wydown's ship. Whoever set these, must know we have people in the area, they are not safe now in that little ship

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() And the took ot 2 ships

Ayumu Kasuga -> +Will's Shuttle+ Hold on.. we're gonna tractor you in...

Christina_Nickles -> *out

STSF_BluRox -> Heather....tractor that damaged shuttle in..then I want Will up here...

STSF_BluRox -> now!

Heather Jamieson -> $ Ens Smith> Sirs, the immediate area just lit up with more sensor sweeps.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Help has arrived.

STSF_BluRox -> :: Worried about Wydown and the others::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Nods :: Right away...

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ((I'll get up there when I am good and ready!))

Heather Jamieson -> :: Tractor beam moves the shuttle into the bay ::

Rue Wydown -> Trouble. This means trouble

STSF_BluRox -> Well.....seems the dice are still in your favor, no matter what I've set up.....lucky you!

August Jax Robinson -> woohooo

STSF_BluRox -> We'll pick up here next week with the ship having been tractored aboard... I also wanted to relay a quick message to everyone, about this Thursday night at 10pm EST.

Rue Wydown -> Lucky us :)

Heather Jamieson -> In the next episode of Republic, watch Blu take a hammer to a bag of innocent dice...

 

STSF_BluRox -> Everyone is invited to stop by to say goodbye to the Reant, as their sim closes down after 20 years

Ayumu Kasuga -> Looking forward to it

STSF_BluRox -> you are welcome to stop by maybe take them a fruitcake (drop off Wydown)

STSF_BluRox -> and cause I know some of you have to work early in the morning ....

STSF_BluRox -> Crew Dismissed
