=/\= Aegis Mission Brief 6/10/16=/\=

11 February 2388

TBS was 10 minutes.

The time is 0710 hours (7:10 am) Aegis Local.

Lt Cdr Kital is in command.

Crew are allowed to move through the station; civilians are not.

Children may return to their homes if accompanied by security.

Security is looking for the two missing An-Ward delegates in remote areas of the station.

USS Byron

is headed for Aegis with no crew aboard.

Without power and communications,

Nei'rrh

cannot follow or warn Aegis.

 

Chirakis -> Questions?

Chirakis -> Seeing none,

Chirakis -> =/\==/\=BEGIN SIM=/\==/\=

Chirakis -> =/\==/\=BEGIN SIM=/\==/\=

Chirakis -> ::C&C, tending to business:::

Jylliene -> ::C&C::

mimipavilion -> ::in her office, going over Lt. Chron's file::

Dacia Sandero -> ::in Sickbay, continuing with investigations::

Tarisa -> $ ::Sitting on a ship that isn't going anywhere anytime soon.::

Chirakis -> ::plowing through data, sifting the information she does not need from that which she does:::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Frantically looking over the damage ::

Jylliene -> ::glances over the main console::

Cdr Wyatt Cayne -> :: Scanning the station still ::

Tarisa -> Miana> ::Had just taken some medicine and was now taking a bath the girls helped make.::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Goes back to the engine room ::

Alexis McFarland -> ::leaning on the bathroom door:: You feeling better in there, Miana?

Chirakis -> ::pondering the system of scanning the station via Aegean's scanners, she believes that is a good idea, and, since no civilians are able to wander the station, if there is someone wandering the "hidden" decks, they should be suspect:::

Annisha -> :: to both of them :: Normally au just stand while sound knocks the dirt off of au, but it can do this... :: splashes ::

Jylliene -> ::displays a map of the station with the disturbances/decoys mapped out on the deck layouts::

Jylliene -> ::stretches::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ Tarisa, the real damage to both the engines and communications is on the outside, despite the ablative armor.

Tarisa -> Miana> ::Frowning at Alexis:: A little... ::Wants to laugh at the splashing, but is not sure it would be a good idea. She instead frowns some more.:: I may have to go soon...

Annisha -> What?

Alexis McFarland -> But there's no feeling like a good old fashioned warm bath.

Tarisa -> $ The damage is through the armor?

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Goes back to the cockpit :: I don't think I can get communications back online...

Chirakis -> ::she turns suddenly when a red button alerts her to incoming secure message:::

mimipavilion -> ::does not find one unusual thing in her file::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ Ie, 'it' knew where to hit us.

Tarisa -> Miana> My mommy is probably worried...

Jylliene -> ::paces::

Chirakis -> ::after entering her code, she retrieves it and reads, which does not take long:::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ I have to shut down the engines to start repairs..

Chirakis -> Lt Commander Kital?

Jylliene -> Ma'am. ::turns toward Chirakis::

Alexis McFarland -> Ah. Makes sense.

Tarisa -> $ ::Nods.:: Ok. Is there anything I can do?

Jylliene -> ::approaches::

Chirakis -> Incoming message from Joint Allied Task Force indicates that Byron has been spotted en route to Aegis.

Jylliene -> ::blinks::

Chirakis -> Also....

Jylliene -> Any sign of the Nei'rrh?

Jylliene -> ::pauses to let her finish::

Chirakis -> No sign of the Nei'rrh, but there could be several reasons for that. One would be the same as the JA Task Force, in that they do not want to blow its cover, if it has one.

Jylliene -> ::nods::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ Unless au can help depolarize the linkage between the AQS and the warp coils I don't think so. The linkage needs to cool, the I run it though a depolarizer, then once they are back to normal I reinstall...then I do it to the other side.

Tarisa -> $ ::Thinks a moment.:: How did you know it was a trap?

Annisha -> :: Looks to Alexis :: We could kidnap.

Chirakis -> However... ::stands:: It is curious that it is not running stealth mode.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ I never really know, but it was too easy to find.

Alexis McFarland -> Kidnap Miana? But we already have her.

Tarisa -> Miana> ::The bubbles were making her feel a little better. Her ears perk up at the idea of kidnap.::

Jylliene -> Do they have any information from passive scans?

Chirakis -> Only its vector toward Aegis.

Annisha -> We could put things like my toys against the door.

Jylliene -> I'd like to think that means that the Nei'rrh is aboard, and they're just quietly making their way back as quickly as possible.

Chirakis -> ::nod:: Possible.

Jylliene -> I get the feeling that's probably among the lesser possibilities, though

Chirakis -> Also, Nei'rrh could have remained behind for some reason.

Chirakis -> ::nods affirmative to Kital::

Jylliene -> Time until Byron's in range of the field?

Alexis McFarland -> THat could work. You have a lot of stuffed animals?

Chirakis -> The field, Commander? The asteroid field?

Jylliene -> The sensor array.

Annisha -> :: Pulls Alexis to her room and the nets at each corner holding stuffed creatures from across the quadrant ::

Chirakis -> Nothing more. However, it would take them several days to get to Aegis.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ Tarisa, actually I think au can help.. just set the computer for audio alerts...

Alexis McFarland -> ::helps grab some more stuffed animals:: Wish I could bring over some of myuu own

Tarisa -> $ ::Nods.:: I can do that.

Jylliene -> ::nods:: Keep an eye out for them, and as soon as they're in range of the farthest sensors, we'll get whatever we can from it.

Jylliene -> ::ponder::

mimipavilion -> ::puts Lt. Chron's file down on her desk and rubs her eyes:: What am I missing here?

Chirakis -> Yes, Commander. ::turns back to her console:: They should be in range of the Euptus array within the day.

Cdr Wyatt Cayne -> :: Keeping one eye on the Aegis weather map and one on the internal sensors...so many cameras ::L

Jylliene -> When they do, go to yellow alert.

Chirakis -> Aye, Commander.

Jylliene -> ::exhales::

Tarisa -> Miana> ::gets out of the bath, grabbing a towel to dry herself off. She walks out with the towel wrapped around her, watching.:: What are you doing?

Jylliene -> And I welcome any advice on other preparations.

Chirakis -> ::notes the burden of command taking hold in the young Lieutenant Commander:::

Annisha -> :: Moving stuffed animals against the door ::

Annisha -> Barricading au in.

Chirakis -> Understood, Commander.

Tarisa -> Miana> ::Tilts her head, curiously.:: Why?

Annisha -> You're one of us now...

Alexis McFarland -> ::props a big stuffed klongat onto the door::

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::sitting on the edge of her bed, unable to sleep:::

Tarisa -> $ ::Works on setting the computer for audio alerts.::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Decouples the linkage from the AQS ::

Jylliene -> ::switches to a map of the sector on the display::

Alexis McFarland -> I think Annisha and I are kidnapping you for some reason or another.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::her head is pounding, her mind spinning with strange thoughts, she begins to pace:::

Tarisa -> Miana> :;Still confused.:: Ok?

Annisha -> :: Throws a Targ onto the pile ::

Annisha -> What are au going to do back home?

mimipavilion -> ::thinks it's time to talk to Chron:: +Chron+ Dr. Pavilion to Lt. Chron.

Alexis McFarland -> ::looking at some analysis::

Tarisa -> Miana> Have my mommy make me feel better.

Annisha -> :: Watches Alexis stare into the distance :: Someone calling au, but no carrier wave?

Alexis McFarland -> Works for me. Failing that, I do have my doctor "nee-mah" to make me feel better.

Alexis McFarland -> I don't need carrier waves when I'm telepathic. Dacia was checking to see how I was doing. And how Miana's doing.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Gets the other linkage detached :: There, that was rather dangerous to do while out of dock actually

Tarisa -> Miana> ::Nods, her tail poking out from the under the towel, trying to wave back and forth.::

Annisha -> I mean... if au want to go back...

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::it finally registers that she has been called::

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::scrambles to find her comm badge:: +Pavilion+ Lt Chron here.

Jylliene -> ::glances at her coffee::

Chirakis -> ::retrieves a fresh cup for her:: Allow me, Commander.

mimipavilion -> +Chron+ Please report to sickbay. I would like to talk to you and check to see how you are doing, physically.

Alexis McFarland -> Did you? Ahh, and we just finished barricading the door. ::picks up the klongat and hugs it::

Chirakis -> ::holds out the fresh cup to her:::

Jylliene -> ::blinks, smiles:: Thank you, very much.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::oh gods:::

Jylliene -> ::accepts:: Very much.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Goes to set up the depolarizer, a rather strange looking double helix coil about a meter long ::

Scott Coleridge -> ::on the Aegean, still docked, supervising the scan preparations:: +CnC+ Coleridge to CnC. Aegean is ready to proceed with scanning the station. What is your status?

Jylliene -> ::exhales, cradling the cup in her hands as she gazes at the display::

Chirakis -> ::quietly:: I am here to support you, Commander. You will do well.

Chirakis -> +Coleridge+ Status quo, Commander...

Jylliene -> ::smiles:: Thank you. It means a great deal. ::quietly::

Tarisa -> $ ::Finished with the computer, she sits and looks out the viewport for a while.::

Chirakis -> +COM+ You might want to check for wandering civilians. They are still not allowed to... wander.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Goes back to the cockpit :: Tarisa... au alright?

Tarisa -> $ ::Nods.:: I am fine.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::finally, she has the courage:: +MED+ Yes, ma'am. I'll... be right up. ::as she dresses:::

mimipavilion -> +Chron+ Acknowledge. Pavilion out.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::taking several deep breaths to slow her heartbeat, she waits to calm down::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ Really?

Scott Coleridge -> +CnC+ Acknowledged. +Cayne+ Commander, I'm aboard Aegean and have tasked its sensors to begin scanning the station for anomalous life-sign readings out of place. Please let me know if there is anything more specific you want to look for.

Chirakis -> ::Jyl, quietly:: Commander, perhaps you could update Commander Coleridge regarding Byron?

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: places his hand on her shoulder :: I'll pass au the linkage and all au have to do is place the section through it one at a time.

Jylliene -> ::blinks, nods:: +Aegean+ Kital to Coleridge.

Tarisa -> $ Yes. A little worried what the Byron might do, but otherwise fine. Somehow things seem to work out.

Scott Coleridge -> +Jylliene+ Yesssss?

Alexis McFarland -> ::waves the klongat around Miana:: Rahhrr! Klongat.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ Ie, well, perhaps not for ch'Rihan..

Tarisa -> $ ::Nods.:: Alright.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::finally she exits her quarters and enters the lift for sick bay:::

Tarisa -> Miana> ::Manages to get out a giggle.::

Jylliene -> ::slight quirk of the lips at his response:: +Coleridge+ Commander, no word from the Nei'rrh, but the Byron is on a course for Aegis.

Annisha -> This one looks like a horse-size duck...

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::when she enters sickbay, her face is pale, she is exhausted, and looks very distracted::

Jylliene -> +Coleridge+ Not in stealth, but she hasn't communicated.

mimipavilion -> ::enters main sickbay and sees Lt. Chron, especially her face:: Chron, you don't look so well.

Scott Coleridge -> +Jylliene+ That's interesting. Under its own power, too?

Jylliene -> +Coleridge+ Yes sir.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Turns on the machine, it hums much like a feline ::

mimipavilion -> ::notes that she's distracted, snaps her fingers around Chron's head::

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::jerks to look at Mimi:: Sorry, ma'am.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::squint:: What did you say, ma'am?

Jylliene -> +Coleridge+ I've given order for the station to go to yellow when she's in range of the array.

Dacia Sandero -> ::watches the interaction and assesses Chron's well-being and mental state::

Annisha -> Hey I have a question for au both...

Tarisa -> $ ::Is pleased to hear that sound.::

Alexis McFarland -> Oh?

mimipavilion -> ::concerned:: Talking can wait. Let's get you checked, because you don't look so well.

Jylliene -> ::ponders what changes he might wish::

Tarisa -> Miana> ::Curious.::

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> Don't exactly feel so well, ma'am.

Annisha -> Would au rather be attacked by 100 duck-sized horses, or one horse-sized duck?

Tarisa -> Miana> Why would they attack you?

mimipavilion -> ::catches Dacia looking in their general direction, and turns her attention back to Chron:: Good thing I got you down here when I did. Get on a biobed, Lt.

Scott Coleridge -> +Jylliene+ That's sensible.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Hands Tarisa a part ::

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::Hops up on the closest one::

Tarisa -> $ ::Takes it::

mimipavilion -> ::grabs a tricorder and starts scanning::

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> Can't sleep, Doctor.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ See, it floats along and au just catch it on the other side.

mimipavilion -> ::nods:: I noticed.

Alexis McFarland -> I don't know. That's tough, but horses are pretty friendly unless you startle them. One of my uncles has horses, they're really nice. So I'd pick the horses.

Tarisa -> $ ::Nods.::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ Au would not believe how hot that part was not long ago.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> Can't sleep, can't think, can't do much of anything. I think I'm going crazy. ::pleading:: Tell me I'm not going crazy.

Jylliene -> ::slight nod:: +Coleridge+ Thank you sir. Kital out.

Annisha -> Next holo-room session au are getting attacked! :: throws a horse at Alexis, and another at Miana ::

mimipavilion -> ::puts the tricorder down and grabs Chron's shoulders:: Don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this.

Chirakis -> :;back to monitoring incoming alerts, of which there are very few::

Alexis McFarland -> Ah.

Cdr Wyatt Cayne -> :: Finally noticing a Federation vessel emerging from the nebula ::

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::deep sigh::

Jylliene -> ::Awaiting the beginning of the scan::

Scott Coleridge -> ::confers with the lead sensor technician:: Let's begin with the lower levels.

mimipavilion -> ::picks the tricorder back up and continues scanning::

Tarisa -> Miana> ::Gets hit, since she is still holding her towel up.::

Tarisa -> $ ::Looking at the part.:: Where should I place it?

Alexis McFarland -> Better than being attacked by a klongat. ::throws the stuffed klongat at Annisha::

Chirakis -> ::checking the status of the Euptus array, and all is in order::

Annisha -> Oof!

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> :;shudders::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ Just at the end closest to au, anti-grav keeps it right in the middle.

mimipavilion -> ::closes the tricorder:: Are you cold?

Tarisa -> $ ::Nods as she puts it in place.::

mimipavilion -> Lt., can you hear me?

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> ::looks up:: Yes, ma'am.

mimipavilion -> Good. Are you cold, noticed that you shuddered?

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ The hit made it so the coils can't be charged.

Dacia Sandero -> ::watches on::

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> No, ma'am. I'm just... ::running a hand through her hair:: I've never had anything like this happen before. ::looks up:::

Scott Coleridge -> Sensor tech> Detecting some life-sign readings in the engineering section, just between the cargo hold and reactor maintenance corridors.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Some time passes as part after part is put through the machine ::

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> It's frustrating. A long period of time when I knew I had to do something and then realized it was wrong.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> It was like... something was controlling me.

Scott Coleridge -> ::eyebrows raise:: That is certainly cozy. Carry on. Upper levels and command next.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> I think that's why I can't sleep.

Jylliene -> ::paces::

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> I just.. can't... shake it.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ Worried Tarisa?

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ :: Passing the final part for the port nacelle ::

mimipavilion -> ::nods, mentally taking note of what she is saying:: Alright. I think for now, in order for you to get some sleep, I'm going to have to sedate you for the next 8 to 12 hrs. Just so your body can catch up. Ok.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> Yes ma'am.

mimipavilion -> ::nods:: We'll monitor you here as well. So, don't worry. ::turns to Dacia:: Can you get me a sedative please.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> Dr. Pavilion?

Tarisa -> $ ::Shakes head no.:: Only that we may not get back in time to warn the station. But I believe they would notice something before the Byron reached them.

mimipavilion -> ::turns back to Chron:: Yes?

Dacia Sandero -> Sure. Of course. ::walks over to the pantry and hands the sedative to Mimi:: There we are.

Annisha -> :: Throws more and more stuffed animals at Alexis ::

Scott Coleridge -> Sensor tech> Two other areas with readings we can't reconcile, sir. The first one is forward and below the commerce deck, in abandoned storage units. There's a second, separate group of readings in a section of spare quarters that has been off limits due to some construction.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> Will this hurt my record? Will they take me out of the squadron?

Scott Coleridge -> Can you get any sense of how many people we're talking about?

Jylliene -> ::glances at Chirakis:: I hope this works.

Chirakis -> ::looks up:: Scanning for the delegates, Commander?

Jylliene -> ::nods::

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ I hope so, but if this takes as long as I think it will we can beat the Byron to the station, but only by a fraction of a light year at best.

Scott Coleridge -> Sensor tech> The engineering readings are obscured by the reactor's shielding. Whoever is hiding there picked well, even if they're probably not very comfortable after all this time.

Chirakis -> ::minimal smile:: If anyone can find them, Commander Coleridge can, Commander. Trust your crew.

Scott Coleridge -> I'll say. Some of those pockets must get upwards of 35°.

Tarisa -> $ What about communications?

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ Drydock.

Jylliene -> ::chuckles:: I trust them implicitly. Just wanting a breakthrough.

mimipavilion -> ::reaches her hand out:: thanks Dacia. ::back to Chron:: I don't know. That's going to be left up to Capt. Chirakis and the CAG

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ If I had not implemented safety measures, the console would have blown up in your face..

Tarisa -> $ ::Frowns.::

Scott Coleridge -> Sensor tech> The other two readings … approximately 4 life-signs in the storage units, another 3 to 5 in the quarters. They may be using jamming technology, sir. I can't narrow it down more than that.

Scott Coleridge -> Thank you. That at least gives us some places to focus our search.

Nijil tr'Korjata -> $ I like au Tarisa. You're a good officer. This :: motions to the shuttle :: can be replaced. There are na android Tarisas to replace au.

Chirakis -> Lt Chron> :::out cold:::

Scott Coleridge -> +CnC+ Coleridge to CnC. We haven't found anything concrete, but we have some leads.

Annisha -> We probably should get au home Miana... :: shrugs ::

Jylliene -> +Coleridge+ Excellent.

Chirakis -> =/\==/\=PAUSE SIM=/\==/\=

Chirakis -> =/\==/\=PAUSE SIM=/\==/\=

Chirakis -> 6/10/16

Chirakis -> Thank you.

Chirakis -> Well played.

Chirakis -> TBS, Commander Coleridge?

Scott Coleridge -> Half a day?

Chirakis -> Half a day it is.

Scott Coleridge -> That brings Byron ever closer to the station, but still far enough away we can only speculate as to its motives. And gives Baldrick—I mean Nijil—time to come up with a cunning plan.

Chirakis -> And it has been established that the Task Force will not scan it in case it is on a mission. Although, it is not running in stealth mode.

Chirakis -> Questions or comments from the crew?

Chirakis -> Seeing none, crew *dismiss*
