[Cdr Miranda Hawthorne 0]

Cptn Swain -> MISSION BRIEF: An away team has been assembled and has landed on the Dominion base where we tracked the signal of the captured officers. Sensor readings are murky and unreliable.

Cptn Swain -> @ will be for on the ship.

 

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

Cptn Swain -> BEGIN SIM

 

Maryse Dubois -> @ ::Sitting on the bridge, watching life sign readings.::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::leading security on planet::

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::sleeping in med bay::

NDak -> ::Unholstering his multicorder and ie'yakk (disruptor), N'Dak followed Miranda's lead off the shuttle::

NDak -> (( The base is on an asteroid ))

William Chocox -> ::follows Miranda::

NDak -> ((Not sure if I had clarified that before ))

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::secures the perimeter and takes a position close to the commander:::

Rhan K'hal -> :: using his handy-dandy Gamma Q acquired and upgraded equipment, lets it soak up some of the base's wireless communications to see if he can find a way into the system ::

Rhan K'hal -> :: is all ears as he sticks with the others, as they turn one way and another, often in different directions independent of each other ::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::contemplating whether he would prefer to find an assembled subspace weapon here or not::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Phaser in one hand, she followed their security forces as they cleared the way.:: Any signals other than the two we saw earlier?

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::continuous sweeping, standard spacing::

NDak -> ::Glances to the Caitian officer, though he did na see anything else on his own multicorder::

Maryse Dubois -> @ ::Doing her best to keep track of the team.::

Rhan K'hal -> The expected handshake signals from one wireless device to another. There is a very narrow frequency band that issues the occasional updated timestamp, which I believe is the base's emergency system ping.

Cptn Corizon -> @ ::Monitoring their communications and sensor readings from their tricorders, glances briefly over to Swain before returning to his readouts::

NDak -> ACTION> The shuttle put down in what appears to be a relatively empty landing bay. There are a few support craft still around, but other than some stray containers, it appears to be empty. The entrance to the main facility is ahead.

William Chocox -> Interesting. Any life signs anywhere nearby?

Rhan K'hal -> Yes. [whatever the total team count is] life signs.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Nothing to do, but press forward. ::She glanced to the engineers.:: Power seems to be up and running. See what you can do about accessing the station systems once we're inside.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::noting the "clear" signal as they progress::

William Chocox -> Will do ma'am.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Leading the way to the facility. She paused as the doors cycled and then opened for them, standing to one side in case they had surprises waiting for them past the door. Mindful of security procedures, more than willing to let the trained officers to their job.::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::glad they brought more than the standard 3::

Rhan K'hal -> :: is figuratively glued to Miranda's rear when it comes to letting the shooty-type people do their thing ::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::steps inside, looks right while the one behind him looks left, then the others come in to sweep:: Clear.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::moves farther in, stacking up on what doors are in the area:::

NDak -> ::Though he himself was a trained solider, he let the Federation security officers take the lead, not wanting to put himself in a position to compromise their chain of command::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::waiting to see what direction the commander will be leading them, but scanning for hostiles or potential threats on the other side of the doors:::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::mostly just along for the ride::

Rhan K'hal -> :: continues to poke at his device, which is running shielded and only passively scanning at the current time, trying to narrow down where Abronvonvich's signal is actually emanating from ::

NDak -> ACTION> The landing bay opens into foyer and three corridors each leading in a different direction. There are several control panels in the foyer.

William Chocox -> Ooh, fun. Panels.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::clearing sweep and the echo of "clear" comes as they progress:::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::Nods to the brass:::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She crossed into the main facility once security cleared the way, pausing in the foyer, glancing in each direction.:: We need a facility map.

Rhan K'hal -> Hmm, let's see if we can do something more effective than "eenie, meenie, miney, mo."

Makkil tr'Malik -> ((I'm only an observer writing everything down and uploading to a secure server))

Rhan K'hal -> :: pulls a very thin device out of his tabletcorder, waves it over each one of the panels in turn ::

NDak -> (( Miranda, give me a number 1-10 ))

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> (( 4 ))

NDak -> ACTION> Force fields activate on each of the exits.

Rhan K'hal -> :: sighs at the force fields ::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> Force fields!

Rhan K'hal -> There's considerably more DNA on the center-left panel, so I would venture to say it's the primary access for people coming from the bay.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::turns to see what's going on at the panels:::

Tandaris Admiran -> Can you override the force-fields?

NDak -> ::Lifts a brow::

William Chocox -> Force fields? Why is it always force fields? Why not welcome mats?

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::jerks awake::

Cptn Corizon -> @ Force fields. But no weapons fire.

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::sits up a little too quickly and winces:::

Cptn Swain -> @ Automated security defenses, then?

Rhan K'hal -> Okay, let's see here. :: frantically pokes at his device for a moment, occasionally giving the panel a glance ::

Cptn Corizon -> @ Likely.

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::lies back down, hugging the pillow::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She considered the fields.:: Latent security measures?

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Chocox:: Prepare some shaped charges as a contingency.

Rhan K'hal -> Likely. This seems to be a mostly automated facility from what little data I have been able to gather.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> I would guess there are others. Far more deadly.

Tandaris Admiran -> ((See how much Tandaris has mellowed?? Old Tandaris wouldn't even have given Rhan the option before jumping straight to "blow it up" :D))

NDak -> ::Nods:: I would assume. If they wanted a time to kill us, now would have been the chance.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::would agree with the Romulan::

Maryse Dubois -> ((lol))

Rhan K'hal -> :: a few more pokes, looks up :: Okay, it's time to see if all that info that came with this mission is any good. With your permission, Commander?

William Chocox -> Yes sir!

William Chocox -> ::seems a bit excited about the prospect of blowing things up::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::returns to his position::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::glad he's not a telepath::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She nodded to Rhan.:: Do it.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::signals the team to step away from the force fields:::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Snapping her fingers, she pointed at Tandaris.:: I brought the two of you over for your engineering expertise, not demolitions.

Rhan K'hal -> :: nods, takes one last look over his device before confidently striding up to his console of choice and keying in a series of Dominion characters ::

Maryse Dubois -> ((Stop giving Will explosive.))

NDak -> ::Smirks::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::which is good cause we didn't bring an EOD team with us:::

William Chocox -> Awwwwww maaan!

Tandaris Admiran -> ::looks askance at Chocox::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::small sigh as he turns back to his point team::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> @ Lt. Taryn Castell> ::Approaches Hunter's bed, checking his vitals.:: Hey there. How are you feeling? +Dubois+ Doctor, your special patient is awake.

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::turns slightly, wincing at the light:: Been better.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She gave Will a hard look.:: How about you find a way to clear up the sensors and find those lifesigns.

Hunter Matheson -> @ Remind me to pad the helm console, will ya, doc?

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> We need a specific location, yesterday.

NDak -> ACTION> The force fields drop.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::checks:: Fields down.

Maryse Dubois -> @ ::Looks away from the console.:: +Taryn+ Thank you. I shall be down shortly.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::glance around for verification from the teams::

Rhan K'hal -> :: nods in satisfaction :: That should get us through the lowest security levels.

William Chocox -> Yes ma'am. ::tries to hide his disappointment as he works on the sensors::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> @ Lt. Taryn Castell> ::She dimmed the lighting near his bed and pressed a hypo to his neck.:: Yes, that might be a good idea. You cracked your head a good one up there. Dizzy?

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::buries his head in the pillow:: Might call it that.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::scanning for any signs of the emissions associated with subspace weapons::

Rhan K'hal -> :: goes back to his device to resume his search for the Abronvonvich signal, or anything else of note ::

NDak -> ACTION> Tandaris detects the very trace residuals of the trilithium we had tracked earlier, but they seem to be decaying relatively quickly.

Maryse Dubois -> @ ::Gets up from the console she was working at, letting a crewman take her place. She then sets a PADD to update her if something should warrant her attention. Getting into a lift, she heads down to sickbay.::

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::then turns the wrong way, pressing the left side of his head against the pillow:: Ow.

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::turns back, lesson learned:::

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::muttering:: Yeah.. padded console....

Tandaris Admiran -> Commander Hawthorne, bad news.

Rhan K'hal -> :: starts to open his mouth, but shuts it as soon as Tandy speaks ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> We need a direction, people. ::Looking at her team.:: What now?

Tandaris Admiran -> I'm picking up trace amounts of trilithium, but judging from the decay rate it has already been processed and used to construct a weapon.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::hearing that ups the security level:::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She swore loudly.::

NDak -> ::Lifts a brow:: That would explain the lack of... what is the human word... welcoming committee, ie?

Rhan K'hal -> We've run into the stables, but someone's already saddled up the horses and rode off somewhere.

Cptn Corizon -> @ It appears the weapon is no longer on the base.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> So it is likely that no one is home, but that doesn't discount security measures that might be in place. ::She looked to Will.:: Lifesigns? Where are they coming from?

Cptn Swain -> @ ::Swears, loudly::

NDak -> But what about the captives?

William Chocox -> Hold on ma'am. ::is looking over his scanners frantically::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> @ Lt. Taryn Castell> ::Touching his head lightly, she checked his head wound and then looked at his eyes, checking their reaction with a pen light.:: Your headache should be easing soon. I gave you a little something for that.

William Chocox -> That way.

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::mutters:: Thanks.

William Chocox -> ::points for the security guys::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::nods, moves out:::

NDak -> ::Follows, ie'yakk still drawn::

Rhan K'hal -> :: frowns down at his device, really needs to try to incorporate some of that Scorpiad biotech into it if he could figure out how; it's still very weak in the biological detection ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> @ Lt. Taryn Castell> I brought you this, too. Careful, though. Lift your head a fraction.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::instead of the standard "clear" call, the sign comes from fore to aft as they proceed:::

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::looks up:: Huh?

Tandaris Admiran -> Presumably if the captives are still alive but were left behind, it means the Jem'Hadar left in a hurry, and left recently.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Miranda nodded to Will and then followed security.:: Left alive, but for what purpose?

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Smells like a trap to me.

William Chocox -> Probably.

NDak -> ::Nods:: Ie.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::rear guard lags behind, SOP:::

Rhan K'hal -> We did make some noise on the way here. I'm sure the lack of return communications from those fighters had initiated an acceleration of their schedule.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> @ Lt. Taryn Castell> ::She slid a soft cooling pillow beneath his neck.:: It'll help. Trust me.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> @ Lt. Taryn Castell> Stays cold for hours.

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::sighs:: Oh, yeah... ::relaxes into it:::

NDak -> << Everyone on the AT give me a number 1-10 >>

Rhan K'hal -> (( 2 ))

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::his eyes close as the headache eases:::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> 7

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> (( 2 ))

Tandaris Admiran -> ((9))

Maryse Dubois -> @ ::Enters sickbay, heading to the back room where Hunter was resting.::

Hunter Matheson -> (Omaha.. Omaha... hut hut...)

William Chocox -> ((8))

NDak -> (( *looks at his dice, wondering they're defective* ))

NDak -> ACTION> The corridor opens into a second foyer with two exits. No force fields this time. The life readings, as well as the decaying trilithium appear to becoming from the "left" branch.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> @ Lt. Taryn Castell> ::Glancing up as Maryse entered, she gave the doctor a little wave.:: He's awake, but still suffering from that head wound. I gave him something for his headache. His brain got rattled good.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::clears the foyer and stacks up on the exits:: (doors?)

Rhan K'hal -> Well, 3 for 3. Life-signs, trilithium and the SOS all coming from the left corridor.

William Chocox -> Should we check for boobytraps?

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::suspicious, to Chocox:: On it, sir.

Rhan K'hal -> I would certainly hope so. Unless you would like to prance merrily down the hallway for us.

Maryse Dubois -> @ ::Smiles at Taryn.:: Thanks. ::Looks to Hunter.:: So have you been resting well?

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Yes, traps and power surges to indicate traps.

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::eyes open at half mast:: Mostly, Doc.

NDak -> (( Tandaris, 1-50 )

Hunter Matheson -> @ But we seriously need some padding on those bridge consoles.

William Chocox -> ((Damn keyboard.))

William Chocox -> We ok Gaither?

Tandaris Admiran -> ((37))

Maryse Dubois -> @ ::Nods with a smile.:: Good. Well you can continue to rest here, or we can clear you to return to your quarters.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> Clear, sir.

NDak -> (( Eggggserent ))

Maryse Dubois -> @ ::Grins.:: I'll see what engineering can do about that.

Rhan K'hal -> (( checks his card balance ))

Hunter Matheson -> @ Well, ma'am. Doc Castell gave me this under my neck. If you don't mind, I'll stay a while.

Hunter Matheson -> @ Feels best to just lie still.

Maryse Dubois -> @ That's fine.

Hunter Matheson -> @ ::sighs:: Thanks. :eyes close::

NDak -> ACTION> Tandaris takes a step. The floor beneath him moves only a bit, but emits a hiss. Tricorders detect an energy wave building from all three exits of the foyer they're in.

William Chocox -> Oh sweet jesus.

NDak -> ACTION> A pretty purple hued, energy wave comes towards the AT///

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::shouts:: EVERYONE DOWN!

NDak -> (( 1-10 all ))

Rhan K'hal -> Oh hell. :: frantically pokes at his console, throwing caution for the wind at trying to hack the system and cancel that ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> (( 3 ))

Rhan K'hal -> (( 10 ))

Hunter Matheson -> 7

Maryse Dubois -> ((Everyone or AT?))

NDak -> (( everyone on the AT ))

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She tried to fling herself against the wall, hoping to be in a protected area.::

William Chocox -> ((4))

Tandaris Admiran -> ((3))

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> :::covers Hawthorne with his body:::

Maryse Dubois -> @ Sure. ::Smiles and steps out of the room.::

NDak -> ACTION> The waive envelopes them knocking them all flat on their rear-ends with considerable force. R'han, Will, Gaither and Destorie find their electronics no longer functioning.

NDak -> wave even

William Chocox -> Well crap.

NDak -> ::Oof::

Rhan K'hal -> Son of a [redacted]! :: is more upset about his tabletcorder than his bum ::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::all security is already on the floor, and he's protecting Hawthorne:::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::exclaims as his elbow hits the floor:: owwww.

Hunter Matheson -> (It's great that the AT listens to their security detail :D )

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Takes a breath, mentally checking herself for injuries.:: Report!

William Chocox -> Anyone else sore?

Rhan K'hal -> (( this group of officers is the most stubborn collection you could put together... well, 2nd most, if Corizon was along then it would be the most stubborn ))

William Chocox -> Oh, also, my tricorder's busted.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She gave Gaither a thump on the side.:: Thanks. You alright?

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::removes himself from the commander then checks the team:::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> Security is good.

Rhan K'hal -> Pancaked, and that wave fried Fred. :: sad ears ::

NDak -> ACTION> Tricorders, phasers, communicators and disruptors. And any other electronic devices you might have ;)

Hunter Matheson -> (hearing aids?)

NDak -> (( I said any! :P ))

Hunter Matheson -> (Aye, sir. That you did.)

Tandaris Admiran -> ::rubs his head, then cradles his arm::

NDak -> ::Picks himself up off the floor:: That was fun.

NDak -> (( Two minute warning ))

William Chocox -> Was it? Was it really fun?

Maryse Dubois -> @ :;Her PADD goes off. Checking it, she mutters a few choice words to herself.:: +Swain+ Captain, have we lost complete contact with the team?

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::checks around and spies Admiran:: Johnson, get over to the commander.

NDak -> I see au do not understand 'sarcasm.'

NDak -> Admittedly, it is a bit advanced for a lloann'na.

Rhan K'hal -> :: mutters in not so warm terminology about EMP enriched nadeon waves, hauls himself back up ::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::stands:: I'm OK, just a bit banged up. ::rubs elbow:: Might have fractured something.

William Chocox -> Oh, I understood it, I refused to accept it as such.

Hunter Matheson -> Johnson> ::a corpsman, sprints to Admiran:: Sir? Let me take a look.

Cptn Corizon -> @ I have readings from some of them. There was some kind of energy wave...

Cptn Swain -> @ +Maryse+ Confirming now...

Cptn Swain -> @ +Miranda+ Excalibur to away team.

Rhan K'hal -> :: can only hope that his 3 seconds of hacking might have done some good for later ::

Rhan K'hal -> :: isn't optimistic enough for that to really happen, mopes ::

Hunter Matheson -> Johnson> Well, sir... looks like a minor fracture - hairline from the fall.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> +Swain+ We're here. The station security is active and we just encountered one of the measures, which knocked out some of our devices.

Hunter Matheson -> Johnson> Can't tell for sure until we get you back to base, but I can splint it.

Cptn Swain -> +Miranda+ Understood. Proceed with caution. We'll continue to monitor as best we can.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She pulled the tricorder from her belt and tossed it to Rhan.:: Make some use of that.

Rhan K'hal -> (( :: facepaws :: I thought you said communicators got broke too ))

Cptn Corizon -> @ ::Puts that info down to Maryse::

Cptn Swain -> (( Only on *some* of the team. ))

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> (( Miranda's & Tandy's stuff are still working. ))

Rhan K'hal -> (( ah, okay, wasn't sure if the second action was broader in scope or not ))

Cptn Swain -> (( Ah, yeah sorry. Miranda and Tandaris didn't fail their rolls :P ))

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> (( And maybe we'll take pity on you and say one or two of the security guys came away with their electronics unscathed. ))

Rhan K'hal -> :: catches the tricorder, sighs :: Back to one of these.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::walking around, checking the team:::

Cptn Swain -> ...and...
