Ok…..So this is what happens when the CO is late for her own sim…….and happens to be Caitian….

LtCmdrRobinson -> it was 92 here, gonna be a lot cooler tomorrow.

August Jax Robinson -> Husband

Ayumu Kasuga -> Eyup

LtCmdrRobinson -> wife®

Rue Wydown -> We had a pretty pleasant weekend temperature wise. But this week is supposed to be really hot and humid yuck

Ayumu Kasuga -> Hmm.

Heather Jamieson -> Some of the hottest on record actually

Ayumu Kasuga -> I think it'll stick in the 30s, or 90s in Murhicun

Christina_Nickles -> ut oh missing the Admiral?

Rue Wydown -> Yes she's missing. I'm going to give her a few more minutes and if she doesn't come then will have to make a decision on what to do

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::shines a laser pointer around the bridge:: See if that gets her out

Rue Wydown -> Here kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty

Christina_Nickles -> LOL Will she does read the logs you know

Ayumu Kasuga -> Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you? Smelly cat, smelly cat, it's not your fault!

Rue Wydown -> Soft kitty warm kitty little ball of fur…

Heather Jamieson -> My daughter learned that on the violin without music, since we can't find any

Ayumu Kasuga -> Smelly cat or soft kitty?

LtCmdrRobinson -> I would throw down some cat nip, but some cats can’t handle that stuff. Go crazy

August Jax Robinson -> meow

Rue Wydown -> Well, guys, I don't have the game book for tonight's sim. So I have no idea what she had planned.

Rue Wydown -> I'm thinking we cancel and go check out the strawberry full moon. Unless you all have any better ideas?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Strawberry moon sounds appealing

Heather Jamieson -> Wonder if she is having trouble getting in.. I've not had any issues for a while

Ayumu Kasuga -> Neither have I.

Rue Wydown -> I've got no messages from her that she's having problems

Christina_Nickles -> its getting ready to storm here the moon just went behind the clouds

LtCmdrRobinson -> she took some Nyquil and she is gone for the night probably

Heather Jamieson -> I think it's cloudy here too

August Jax Robinson -> I don't like berries

Rue Wydown -> Okay guys then I'm going to cancel for the night. We'll try again next week

Ayumu Kasuga -> Too much light pollution to see anything here

Heather Jamieson -> More Overwatch.

Heather Jamieson -> Oh...

Ayumu Kasuga -> Oh..

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::puts the laser pointer away::

Heather Jamieson -> Mine had three dots

STSF_BluRox -> (Sorry all, was waiting to start, and didn't hear my alarm)

Christina_Nickles -> there she is

STSF_BluRox -> (call me next time sillies)

Ayumu Kasuga -> Good timing, we were about to split

Heather Jamieson -> (No number)

STSF_BluRox -> Ah, no need for that, I see two other Red in the room they could have tortured you just as well. They’ve all been well trained to come up with filler material in a heartbeat!

Rue Wydown -> My computer decided to restart on me erg

STSF_BluRox -> Well, 3 of you have it.....it's an easy thing!

Rue Wydown -> We were just about to cancel but now that you're here…

STSF_BluRox -> I was here earlier, before everyone, so restarted the computer dozed off waiting for reboot

LtCmdrRobinson -> (I was shining a laser pointer around the bridge to get you to come out, that was my contribution)

STSF_BluRox -> (That must have been it Will...thanks!.. can't wait to read prelog!)

 

 

USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 51606.20 - Season 24

The crew has been working together to determine just where and to whom these raider had been planning to sell their goods and hidden elixir they had gotten from J'Rom's lab during all the chaos at the end.

After interrogating Stan and Rue listening to Malcom in the brig, we had determined that they were planning to sell the stolen Federation technology as well as the transformation serum to someone through a Yriidian trader and his group of thugs.

Blu had proposed a plan to potentially go after them, however Rue felt it was not worth the risk...... and....this is where we'll pick up..

STSF_BluRox -> :: looks over at Rue, uncertain what the woman wants to do then::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Doing what she was doing last we meet ::

STSF_BluRox -> Ok....so what do you propose? Just ignore who the buyers were?

STSF_BluRox -> (Heather, you and Ayumu were in Astrometrics determine from the raiders prior logs, where we though they were meeting the Yiriidans)

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::finishing up in the cargo bay:: Well, I am going to head upstairs and see about some angry visitors we may have soon.

STSF_BluRox -> :: looks at Rue, waiting to hear her suggestion on how she would prefer that they proceed::

Rue Wydown -> I don't know. What information have you gleaned from the other ringleader of the situation?

Christina_Nickles -> Did you find anything useful commander?

August Jax Robinson -> Will... we are alone down here

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::going over scans and star charts in astrometrics::

Christina_Nickles -> ::looks over to Jax:: IM guessing that’s a cue for me to leave. Commander Will I’m heading back to main security

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::smirks:: On the clock still, August. Calm down.

STSF_BluRox -> As we had detailed to the others, we have determined that they were going to sell the stolen goods, and the elixir to someone, their connection were a bunch of Yiridian traders

August Jax Robinson -> ::Blushes:: oh yeah... we aren't

August Jax Robinson -> I don't remember the clock ever stopping you..

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::looks back at Nickles:: Yeah, I'm heading up the the bridge myself.

STSF_BluRox -> Ayumu and Heather are trying to determine from their log records, if they can determine an approximate location where they might have met previously

August Jax Robinson -> We were in that Supply closet more than once

Heather Jamieson -> AM: I've not been here for some time. Here's what we have so far... :: The holo display before them lights up with the current map of the sector ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> No audiences in the closet, lady.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Really, surprising there for a Chief Science Officer.

August Jax Robinson -> OK old man... see you later

Heather Jamieson -> AM: And now let me plot the data from the flight computer on that ship..

STSF_BluRox -> we'd have to depend on their calculations to attempt to meet with the buyers...if....and it's a BIG IF

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods::

Heather Jamieson -> I'm not the Chief Ayumu...

Ayumu Kasuga -> No? Oh.

STSF_BluRox -> But they've been doing this for years now, I'm certain with them working together, they could map something up based on the

Heather Jamieson -> AM: As you can see there are gaps in the information, and just plain areas we don't have detailed scans of yet,

STSF_BluRox -> (Heather....let's just say you are)

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::watches the map::

Heather Jamieson -> (Oh, yea! me)

 

Christina_Nickles -> :: turns and heads for the TL::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::kisses her and heads for the door:: See you after work, stay out of trouble

Rue Wydown -> What others? I've been down to brig for....how long now? You expect me to make a decision on what our next step is without giving me the benefit of all the facts.

Heather Jamieson -> AM: There are several systems with little traffic, and some with heavy traffic, but certain areas are rather dark.

STSF_BluRox -> I'd like to get August and Will's thoughts as well, if they think this feasible, putting a replacement team on the raider's ship

Heather Jamieson -> AM: Let me make the computer map possibilities based on Starfleet's encounters with similar threats over its history.

August Jax Robinson -> Never!

Heather Jamieson -> Am: :: Waits a bit :: Glad we got out of that box.

STSF_BluRox -> Fine....you're the first officer...then you tell me how you think we need to proceed. Shall we just roll over and let this go, not knowing if they've already delivered some of this terrible thing already? We risk it getting to someone just as bad or worse that may be able to duplicate it.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yeah, I hear ya there

Heather Jamieson -> AM: :: computer beeps :: Ah, well, based on that history the computer has, there are eight possible places one could go... we have to narrow that down.

STSF_BluRox -> Or do we attempt to find out who is the buyer and stop this nonsense?

Heather Jamieson -> AM: Ayumu, can you bring up data on the scans we did of their ship?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yeah, sure. :: brings up the requested data:: Here you go...

STSF_BluRox -> ::mumbles something to herself that she can’t' wait until Rian was better::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Signs her PADD and exits the bay, locks it::

Heather Jamieson -> AM: :: Spins a representation of the ship in front of them :: Hmm

Rue Wydown -> You're not listening to me, are you?

Heather Jamieson -> AM: Lots of light years on those engines. I think they were pushing them pretty hard.

STSF_BluRox -> I am...but you're not giving me any other options...what more did you get while sitting down there...

Heather Jamieson -> AM: Two of those systems are pretty far away, so if you wanted to offload your cargo quickly, I'd not go there.

STSF_BluRox -> ::thinks the woman has drank too many of her weird teas::

Heather Jamieson -> AM: Did they have to take any shortcuts?

Heather Jamieson -> AM: Oh look, there is a bit of fitigue all over the hull, what would cause that?>

STSF_BluRox -> ::wondering where Jax had gotten off to, and if Will had actually secured those old detonators::

August Jax Robinson -> ::heads down the hall, making notes as she walks::

Christina_Nickles -> ::: in the lift:: Sir shall I accompany you to the bridge? or go to main Security?

Rue Wydown -> We seem to be having a communication issue. And I kind a like to figure out why what I'm saying is it translating. So please tell me what is it is you thought you heard me say?

 

Heather Jamieson -> AM: Kasuga? You with me?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Steps into the Lift:: Bridge

Ayumu Kasuga -> I get ya. ::looks:: Hmm, I'm just not what would cause such a thing.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Security for now, Nickles. We may have more interviews soon. I'll be back down in a few.

August Jax Robinson -> +Will+ I need you on the Bridge

LtCmdrRobinson -> +August+ The bridge? That place I said I was heading towards? Is that the big room with all the chairs and buttons?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Smiles :: I do.. if you take a ship like this into the atmosphere of a gas giant, the gas exerts pressure on the hull.

LtCmdrRobinson -> +August+ Almost there now, love you.

Heather Jamieson -> Bet they were hiding in it's magnetic pole

August Jax Robinson -> +Will+ it might be, my Mind was in another place when you left me

August Jax Robinson -> ::Exits the lift, Smiles at Will::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Types some things in ::

Christina_Nickles -> Aye sir.:: to the computer:; Main Security::

Heather Jamieson -> Ah, filtering that in we can narrow it down to five systems.

STSF_BluRox -> I've told you what we found out, we know what they are hiding in the goods, and if caught, hoped we'd be so focused on the stolen goods, we'd miss the drug hidden in the chocolate boxes. You've expressed your concern that it's risky and you don't know more from the others that were down in the brig.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Watches Heather::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Points to the conference room:: this way Darling

LtCmdrRobinson -> Yes boss. ::follows along::

STSF_BluRox -> We have ops and science trying to pinpoint where previous rendezvous locations were, so that we could surmise where they were planning to meet

Heather Jamieson -> The galaxy is full of a lot of gas...

Christina_Nickles -> :: exits the lift when it stops at main security before it takes Will to his destination.::

August Jax Robinson -> ::hits Chime for the conference room::

Heather Jamieson -> Let me look for some signs of places one would try to sell that are located close to those five systems.

 

Rue Wydown -> ::literally drops her head on to the table in front of her and then bangs it several times::

STSF_BluRox -> What is your problem woman? Shall we just pack up and let them go then?>

Heather Jamieson -> You are the pilot here, where would you go if you were transporting ill-gotten goods.

Ayumu Kasuga -> That looks like a promising hidey place

Ayumu Kasuga -> If it were me, I might go there.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Enters the confernce room:: Admiral, Sorry to bother you

STSF_BluRox -> ::sighs with frustration, and then hears Jax::

STSF_BluRox -> August, yes...please come in.......

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::wonders what his wife is dragging him into::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Expands the system she liked ::

STSF_BluRox -> We'd like your opinion on a few matters...

Ayumu Kasuga -> Lots of nooks and crannies to hide it, plus the interference from the gas would make it hard to scan through

Ayumu Kasuga -> hide in

Rue Wydown -> Nope. Nevermind ::picks her head up, grins grimly:: She'd like your opinion. I'll just try to find where mine is tucked away.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Glances at Will:: We have finished looking over the Cargo closer, I think we need to finish what we started and track down these people

Heather Jamieson -> Than'aris, 11 planets, a rather large gas giant. One inhabited system. A few others that could be colonized.

August Jax Robinson -> there are a number of stolen or illegal weapons

STSF_BluRox -> No Rue...I want us all to discuss this, and determine our best path. I'm just frustrated when you answer my question, with a questions.....

Heather Jamieson -> There are ones at these too... :: zooms out and places two other systems in the lineup ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::points for Will to join them as well::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Mm-hmm. ::studies the map::

Heather Jamieson -> Than'aris, Kal and... Bortos.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::has a seat::

 

Heather Jamieson -> Sounds like a comedy trio.

Rue Wydown -> You just don't like it when people question you. I have questions. There's nothing wrong with that.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Something comedic yea

STSF_BluRox -> the more the merrier.......Besides......I've been told I let my temper on this issue cloud my reasoning....I'd like Rue to explain her thoughts to you both, and then you discuss…..

STSF_BluRox -> (god, can't spell tonight, going to put spell checker through the ringer this week!)

Heather Jamieson -> Let me make the call. +Blu+ Jamieson here, we have narrowed down the choices to three, with one more likely.

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Told you not to borrow Kawalas' keyboard lol)

52STSF_BluRox -> (IKR!?)

Heather Jamieson -> :: to Kasuga :: Still would really need to visit the other two.

Ayumu Kasuga -> I agree. They don't look too..too.. far away from each other.

Rue Wydown -> (Stupid iPad)

STSF_BluRox -> I just wanted a straight opinion...is that too much to have asked? Look let's start fresh, we're all very tired, and a bit stressed over this. I'd like you all to present your thoughts, and I will listen to each of your ideas and thoughts on the matter

STSF_BluRox -> Rue.....if you would please, explain to Will and Jax your concerns, as they’ve just arrived.

Christina_Nickles -> (::giggles::))

STSF_BluRox -> :: leans over to Will::: You 'Did’ put away those detonators and old grenades in a safe place, did you not?

Heather Jamieson -> I guess they are busy

Rue Wydown -> ::nonchalantly:: Besides the fact that I feel like I just wasted my entire day in the brig 'cause whatever I did find out isn't useful to the cause here....I'm still trying to make sense of the information

Ayumu Kasuga -> I guess so

LtCmdrRobinson -> Yes, everything is inert and safe, I disarmed what actually worked.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Try to call back later

Rue Wydown -> I messed out on while I was in said brig.

August Jax Robinson -> I think we have a duty to see this through

STSF_BluRox -> two minute warning

Christina_Nickles -> :: walks to the brig to check on the prisoners::

Rue Wydown -> Those would be my main concerns. Not knowing the whole story...yet. But if you guys could fill me in on what you've found that would be fantastic

LtCmdrRobinson -> Stan the scumbag is selling explosives and a mutagenic serum to some Yiridians, that is the situation I believe.

Heather Jamieson -> +Blu+ Jamieson to Blu

STSF_BluRox -> +Heather, go ahead

Rue Wydown -> And you came to that conclusion how?

Heather Jamieson -> +Blu+ We have narrowed our choices down to three, with one more likely than the others.

Ayumu Kasuga -> +Blu+ Yes, based on our findings they've made numerous direct runs from Eridos 3 to this place and back.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Well I got crates full of third world explosives in the cargo bay that came from his ship. He mentioned some business friends of his were going to come looking for him shortly.

STSF_BluRox -> Can you and Ayumu come to the Conference room and bring your results with you. I'd like you to present them to the rest of the senior staff. Good work you two by the way

Heather Jamieson -> :: off mic :: We could just be placed in boxes... :: smiles ::

Heather Jamieson -> +Blu+ Sure.

Ayumu Kasuga -> +Blu+ Aye sir.. ::cuts comm:: I hope not. I've had enough boxes for the time being. :: downloading her findings onto her PADD::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Copies their findings and heads out ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::follows Heather::

STSF_BluRox -> Ok..we'll have them fill you in on the rest and we can then have all the facts in front of us, and we'll make a group decision on what we feel is the best course of action

Rue Wydown -> Do we have any proof that he's already made the sale?
