USS Excalibur Sim Log - 07.24.16

[Cdr Miranda Hawthorne 0]

MISSION BRIEF: The Excalibur has successfully reached sensor range of a Dominion base where they have been tracking a bread-crumb like distress signal from what they believe to be the captured Starfleet officer, Lt. Abronvonvich. After the initial attack, we have not encountered any additional Dominion vessels.

Maryse Dubois -> ((I'm sure we have an entire novel filled with peril cards between the 2 of us, Tandy.))

Hunter Matheson -> :;at aux helm, blinking:::

Rhan K'hal -> :: on the bridge, having pretty much moved in at aux tactical to better do the many things he can and needs to do more centrally than on the side; ears perked and at high alert, because of their proximity to the base ::

Hunter Matheson -> ::glance to Gaither:: You good with taking it from here?

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::looks over, questioning:: Yeah. You okay?

Maryse Dubois -> ::On the bridge, observing for the moment, but someone in particular has caught her eye.::

Hunter Matheson -> ::lips tight:: Not sure.

Tandaris Admiran -> ((Do you think we could start an underground market in them, Maryse?))

Maryse Dubois -> ((Maybe. Will might need them the most. ;) ))

Cptn Swain -> ((No ))

Cptn Swain -> ((They are coded with your biometric signature))

Maryse Dubois -> ((lol))

Cptn Swain -> (( Also say "non-transferable in tiny, tiny print" on the back.))

Rhan K'hal -> :: glances back at the tactical officer, half wondering how long he'll make it back there considering the recent string of bad luck for the goldshirts assigned to it ::

William Chocox -> ((Body switching is clearly the answer.))

Cptn Swain -> ((You want back in Ithene's body? ))

Hunter Matheson -> Okay. Lemme sync with main and I'm handing it over. Let me know if you need me to take something... minor.

Cptn Swain -> ((I can arrange it, I am sure.. ))

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> Entering sensor range.

Rhan K'hal -> No sign yet that the station is aware of us. No sign that they're not, though.

NDak -> ::Brooding/hovering::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Gets up and walks down to helm.::

Cptn Corizon -> ::Same::

Hunter Matheson -> ::eyes closed, deep breathing:::

Hunter Matheson -> ::slow.. .deep breathing:::

William Chocox -> ::is in engineering still repairing everything::

Rhan K'hal -> :: mentally frowns over at Ithene, who had a really good excuse to be in the lab ::

Maryse Dubois -> Gunny, look up at me...

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::notes the Doc, but keeps his eye on helm::

Hunter Matheson -> ::looks up, squints:: Ma'am?

Cptn Corizon -> Ithene> ::Was feeling a bit better since they weren't stressing the IDF anymore::

Hunter Matheson -> ::loves stressing the IDF:::

Cptn Corizon -> ::Glances over to the pacing Romulan and Dameon::

Rhan K'hal -> (( see if I write a log again, setting it up so you only have to control 3 characters instead of 4 :P ))

Maryse Dubois -> ::Studies him a moment.:: Hmm... ::Looks to Swain.:: Captain, I'm afraid I'll be relieving your helmsman of his duties for the time being. Mr. Gaither can take his place.

Hunter Matheson -> ::closes his eyes again, sure she's got the right idea:::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Miranda had removed herself from her chair and was at the back of the bridge on pretense of checking on the ship's systems, but really she just wanted a chance to pace off some of her nervous energy.::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::has everything in control::

Rhan K'hal -> Still no sign that they're aware of us. The signal from Lt. Abronvonvich is still transmitting, but can't narrow it down to a specific portion of the base yet without going active on sensors.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Seeing that Rhan had the situation under control, she headed off the bridge and back to the lab::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::returns to engineering to check up on things::

William Chocox -> ::is shoulders deep in some system::

Cptn Swain -> Anything on sensors?

Maryse Dubois -> ::To Hunter.:: Come with me. A quick stop at sickbay, and then it's straight to your quarters.

Hunter Matheson -> ::stands, a little unsteady now that the adrenaline rush of the emergency is gone::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::enters engineering humming "Modern Major General"::

Rhan K'hal -> Their shields are up, even if I pounded them with a direct scan it'd skid off. We still haven't solved that one. No ships in the area, but let me see if I can sniff out anything more on that.

Hunter Matheson -> ::gets his bearings and manages to step up and follow her:::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Escorts Kal to the TL.::

Hunter Matheson -> (heh - love that)

Rhan K'hal -> :: begins checking the sensor data for any signs of previous ship activity ::

Hunter Matheson -> ::into the lift, waiting for the doors to close:: Got anything for a hell of a headache, ma'am?

Hunter Matheson -> If so I sure can use it.

Maryse Dubois -> Of course. Do you have trouble sleeping?

William Chocox -> Gilbert and Sullivan?

Rhan K'hal -> :: hmms a bit as he checks up on a faint reading of something or other that he can't identify yet ::

Hunter Matheson -> ::snort:: Not quite, ma'am. I'm half asleep already.

Hunter Matheson -> But... maybe that's not a good sign.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Glancing from her station, she watched Maryse with Kal, glad someone had bullied him into taking care of himself.:: K'hal, are there any signs from the station itself that might indicate security measures? Power flares? Targeting?

Cptn Corizon -> ::Corizon opened his mouth to speak, but thinking better of it, hung back.::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Chocox:: We escaped certain death, so I'm feeling jaunty.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::keeping them on course and positioned for best scans::

Tandaris Admiran -> How are the repairs progressing?

Rhan K'hal -> Other than the shields being raised, which as far as I know is standard Jem'Hadar procedure, nothing along those lines.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods as the lift stops and opens. She began walking to sickbay.:: I'll give you something to help.

William Chocox -> Better than they have, worse than they could be.

Hunter Matheson -> ::would nod, but it hurts too much:::

Rhan K'hal -> I'm trying to see if I can sniff out that tritium we detected earlier, but it's hard to get anything from the base. I'm also checking some decayed ion signatures to see if there are any tritium remnants associated with them in case they've scampered off.

Tandaris Admiran -> Prioritize tactical systems. I'd like to think we'll get out of here without a fight, but I don't want to bet on it.

William Chocox -> Ok sir. Planning on hurting my ship again?

Cptn Swain ->::Miranda:: Prepare a boarding party.

Hunter Matheson -> Adrenaline's a hell of a thing, Doc. Makes you do things you couldn't ordinarily do in combat, but after it wears off, you wish it hadn't. It's addicting.

Hunter Matheson -> ::sighs:: Worse than any drug I've ever had.

Rhan K'hal -> We may be out of the woods as far as the gravitational anomalies but this is still a good area of space to operate covertly in, lots of EM and subspace disturbance. Like trying to find a Q in a bowl of alphabet soup in the dark.

Maryse Dubois -> :;Enters sickbay, she walks over to a biobed.:: I see. ::She grabs a tricorder and does a quick scan.:: Hmm...

Tandaris Admiran -> _Your_ ship?

Tandaris Admiran -> We're going to have to have a conversation one of these days.

Hunter Matheson -> ::gingerly pulls himself onto the biobed:::

Cptn Swain -> ::smirks::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::steady as she goes:::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> (( Didn't Miranda just say that to Will *last week*? LOL.))

William Chocox -> Well, if you want to get down and dirty with me repairing it it can be ours.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Grabs a hypo and a vial. She then adjusts the settings.:: This will help with the pain. If you like, you can rest here or in your quarters. Either way, sleep is what you need most.

Rhan K'hal -> (( I really think exposure to Ithene, me and Tandy has completely ruined Will ))

Hunter Matheson -> If you don't mind, ma'am, I'd rather not move. Besides my bunkmate's there and he snores.

Hunter Matheson -> (::taking notes on the OOC chatter: :)

William Chocox -> ((Maybe))

Maryse Dubois -> I understand. Once I give you this, you can go to one of the private rooms in the back. ::Injects the hypo.::

NDak -> (( Especially being in Ithene's body ))

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Miranda nodded.:: Aye, Captain. ::She sent a message to engineering and security, ordering officers from each department to report for the away team.::

NDak -> I would like to accompany any away team.

Hunter Matheson -> Yes, ma'am. ::doesn't even feel the hypo:::

Cptn Swain -> ::Glances to Miranda:: Your decision.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She turned to look at Destorie, considering for a moment before nodding.:: Alright. And your officers?

NDak -> ::Shakes his head:: Just me. I want to be there when we find my brother... whether that is yy'a or alive.

Cptn Corizon -> ::grimaces::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::wears a red shirt:::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::receives a message:: Well if that's your criteria you might have to fight Ensign Vodrie later, because we're needed elsewhere.

Hunter Matheson -> ::rolls off the biobed and makes his way slowly to one of the private rooms:::

Hunter Matheson -> (sorry.. afk)

Rhan K'hal -> :: not hearing his named called, continues to hover over his console, monitoring the ongoing sensor analysis of the immediate area ::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Once she deems Hunter secure, she exits sickbay once again, returning to the bridge. She assigns an assistant to keep an eye on Kal from time to time.::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> If the station shielding is up, we will not be able to transport. K'hal, I need you on the AT. We're going to have to take a shuttle. Report to the shuttle bay. Gaither, you too.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> +Tandaris+ Hawthorne to Engineering.

Rhan K'hal -> :: sighs :: Aye Commander.

Rhan K'hal -> :: drags his standby over to continue the work ::

NDak -> ::Nods:: Hann'yyo Captain, Commander.

Hunter Matheson -> (bak)

William Chocox -> Fight who sir?

Cptn Corizon -> ::Slips over to the Mission OPS panel, taking over for the goldshirt there::

Tandaris Admiran -> +Hawthorne+ Admiran here.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> +Tandaris+ I need your team to report to the shuttlebay.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::hands helm off and stands:: Aye, Commander.

Rhan K'hal -> :: smiles as he sees Corizon jump in, can be sure the job gets down properly and likely in as unorthodox a manner as he'd handle it ::

Rhan K'hal -> :: smiles ruefully at Maryse on his way to the TL ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She headed for the lift.::

Cptn Corizon -> ::Miranda: Good luck.

Tandaris Admiran -> +Hwthorne+ Understood.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::moves out to the shuttle bay, gearing up for security as well as helm::

NDak -> ::Holds the TL for everyone::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Chocox:: Looks like we're shuttling over. Gear up.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Gives the Romulan a look, then the others as they pile in. The lift zooms off to the shuttle bay.::

Rhan K'hal -> :: enters the TL, nods to NDak :: Glad to have you with us, Enarrain.

NDak -> ::Nods:: Ie, though I wish it were under better circumstances.

William Chocox -> Aye sir. ::starts to gather his things::

Rhan K'hal -> As none of us are assigned to the Alpha Quadrant, better circumstances are hard to find right now.

NDak -> D'Aubigine> ::Waiting in the shuttle bay with a warmed up shuttle, having done the preflights for them during the cut scene, and has the chair ready for whoever is flying the mission::

NDak -> ::Smirls, ruefully::

Rhan K'hal -> :: steps out of the lift and smiles at d'A as he marches over to the shuttle ::

NDak -> Ie, though in my experience trouble can happen in any quadrant.

NDak -> Through perhaps trouble simply follows me?

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::enters the shuttle, nod of thanks to D'Aubigine::

Rhan K'hal -> :: chuckles :: I know that feeling.

NDak -> D'A> All yours, Commander. Preflights completed and you're clear when ready.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::grabs his equipment and then heads for the shuttlebay with Chocox::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::rechecks the preflight anyway, SOP:::

Rhan K'hal -> :: grabs his toolkit from the person he'd selected to run it down for him and slips into the shuttle ::

William Chocox -> Yet another dangerous away mission?

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::powers up, waiting for the order to deploy:::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Sighs as the bridge now seems empty.::

Cptn Swain -> ::Looks over to Maryse::

Cptn Swain -> We always have to stay back.

Tandaris Admiran -> Probably.

Cptn Corizon -> It's the hardest part about being Captain.

Rhan K'hal -> :: joins Gaither up front, runs a number of his enhanced subroutines through that he's fiddled with in dealing with the Dominion ::

Hunter Matheson -> ::out cold in sick bay for the first time in weeks:::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::enters the shuttlebay::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Smirks.:: Remind me never to be in your position.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::notes the enhanced subroutines, and nods thanks:::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Grabbing her gear, she took her place on the shuttle and got situated.::

Cptn Swain -> I don't recommend it.

Cptn Corizon -> How did they talk you into it?

Cptn Swain -> I was tricked.

Cptn Corizon -> ::Nods, sagely::

Rhan K'hal -> :: Gaither :: I'll try to get us a hole through those shields. Just remember to stop if I can't. :: grins ::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::nod, semi-grin:: Aye, aye, sir.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::boards the shuttle:: So what's the plan?

William Chocox -> ::steps into the shuttle and sits down::

NDak -> ::Takes his place on the shuttle, securing his disruptor::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::waiting for the word:::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::checking, double-checking, tripple checking:::

Rhan K'hal -> (( @'s for those left behind this time, since we have you outnumbered? ))

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> Ready to go on your command, Commander.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Let's go. ::To their pilot. She looked at Tandaris.:: The plan is go over to the station and get our people back.

Cptn Swain -> (( yeah ))

Cptn Swain -> @::clips on his @::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> +FLOPS+ Flight OPS, Shuttle (name) departing.

NDak -> Simple, straight forward. I like it.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::easy rise, turn, and smooth exit:::

Cptn Corizon -> @+Jellico+ You are clear.

Rhan K'hal -> :: grabs onto the station's carrier wave signal and begins using those skills for which he was dragged along to try to get the facing section of shields to drop without causing a stir ::

Tandaris Admiran -> All right.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> +FOPS+ Copy that.

Cptn Corizon -> @::brings up the reading for the shuttle and the lifesigns for each, tosses the life signs readings over to Maryse::

Rhan K'hal -> :: mutters, and not always with civilized language, in the process ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Blast our way through, if needed, but sensors don't show much in the way of Jem'Hadar in the area. They could be using a dampening field to shield their numbers, but I doubt it.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::K'hal:: Give me the best vector, sir, and you got it.

William Chocox -> ::leans back and waits::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::shrug:: Hell, even one that might work. Could get interesting.

Rhan K'hal -> No need, facing shields coming down... :: sends over the path to helm :: now. Punch it, Gaither.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> Punching it... :::phewwww:::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::wondering how many took the time to strap in:::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::keeping in mind the IDS for this bucket:::

NDak -> ACTION> The shuttle sails past the facing shields and Gaither can see a landing bay waiting for them.

Rhan K'hal -> Well. Something worked for a change. But why do I still feel like they're laying out a red carpet, the better to shoot at us on?

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::force of habit to have a tether:::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> Sounds about right, sir.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Anything on sensors yet? Signs of the station being armed? ::Leaning forward to look up front.::

Rhan K'hal -> :: checks to see what the shuttle's limited sensors can tell him ::

Maryse Dubois -> @ ::Sits down at a console, so she can monitor the AT.::

Cptn Corizon -> @ ::lifts a brow:: No signs of any hostile security action.

Cptn Corizon -> ACTION> Shuttle sensors pick up two life signs, one Romulan the other Human. Though Jem'hadar are won't to show up on sensor scans.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::his focus becomes intense as they approach their target:::

Rhan K'hal -> I believe there are Abronvonvich and your brother, Enarrain. No sign of Jem'Hadar, but that's par for the course.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::hearing a ping:::

Maryse Dubois -> @ Don't forget, Jem'Hadar are able to shroud themselves.

NDak -> ::Exhales, cautiously:: Alive.

Cptn Corizon -> @ ::Nods::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::K'hal:: Take the back road, sir?

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> Do a little exploring before we commit?

Rhan K'hal -> I'll leave that decision to the more tactically minded.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> Aye, aye, sir.

Rhan K'hal -> After jimmying the door handle, I'm just a walking tricorder now. :: said with an obvious humor ::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::grins:: So who's the tactically minded, sir?

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> I mean.. no disrespect. Just wonderin'.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::knowing they all are::

Rhan K'hal -> :: glances at NDak for his opinion, but knowing Miranda will have the final say ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> There's nothing on sensors to indicate an ambush. But then, that's usually the case. Just dock us. We'll take our chances.

NDak -> ::Defers to Miranda::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> Yes, ma'am. Taking a direct course to dock. ::swings around::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::slips easily through the atmosphere:::

NDak -> << two minute warning >>

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::settles her down, nice and smooth:: +Flight OPS+ Flight OPS, Jellico wheels down.

William Chocox -> Let the fun begin.

NDak -> ::Unholsters his disruptor as the door opens::

Rhan K'hal -> And now, we'll see if some of those things I learned about the Dominion while we were ahh... :: remembering NDak's presence and those of the generic goldshirts :: nowhere in particular, doing nothing interesting, will come in handy.
