RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51612.01 - Season 21

Leahval had re-taken command of the Stinger, and had trimmed the crew down to what she needed to run the smaller ship, reassigning the extra crewmen to help with the Galae station and Talon repairs as needed. Medical supplies and equipment had been added, and some sent ahead to deal with the medical crisis.

Meanwhile, t'Vatrix, who had been at Galae headquarters for some time, had left to handle some personal business. NDak also had returned to Galae command to report and follow up with t'Vatrix

M_K_tKsa -> ::in medical with her team, Rehu, t'Barel and tr'Aieme looking over the data::

KhreRiovtRex -> @:: oblivious to the chill rain that has been falling since she had arrived::

M_K_tKsa -> Rehu>What I don't understand is the spread of the contagion. ::working on his map:: Here's where the initial weapon was dispersed. ;:points at the blob on the map before he adds the next layer:: And here's the patients origins. ::stares at it:: Some of these people weren't even close to the blast zone, and they were suffering symptoms days later.

NDak -> @::Aboard the small atmospheric shuttle he had commandeered at Galae Command, he adjusted to begin a landing approach as rain coated the windows.::

 

Laehval tTemarr -> ACTION> The Stinger nears the refugee colony that Ksa had targeted as the largest area impacted by the biological weapon.

 

Lerak trPexil -> :: On the oria of the Stinger ::

tAehjae -> :: Moves up to the Oira of the Stinger to report to tTemarr::

M_K_tKsa -> t'Barel>::sighs:: Days later and a couple of kilometers away from what the Othans predicted the exposure ring would be.

Lerak trPexil -> :: Scanning the colony ::

KhreRiovtRex -> #Galae Command +COM+ Stinger, be aware, that there have been reports of those that 'collaborated' both Tal Shiar, civilians and even a few Galae officers that had been turned .....be careful whom au trust, Command ta'Khoi

M_K_tKsa -> t'Ksa>It's like there's something in the.....::freezes for a moment, staring at the map::

NDak -> @::Touching down outside the estate he took a long deep breath before opening the cockpit. It had been, well it had been a long time.::

M_K_tKsa -> tr'Aieme>What is it? ::eye brow raised::

NDak -> @ ::He wondered if he should have called ahead, as protocol and formality would typically have dictated; but he had decided to go anyway and headed for the estate, just a short walk from the fliterpad::

M_K_tKsa -> t'Ksa>Naaah...can't be. ::still staring in the map, squinting at it::

Laehval tTemarr -> ::She turned to glance at tr'Pexil & t'Aehjae.:: tr'Pexil, when we arrive, the Maenak will need your assistance with the delivery method of her choosing.

Lerak trPexil -> Na doubt. Engineering is ready.

Laehval tTemarr -> t'Aehjae, there will be significant security risks. ::She indicated the comm.:: Our latest message from Galae command indicated that there may be collaborators hiding among the refugees.

M_K_tKsa -> tr'Aieme>::glances from t'Ksa to the map again, trying to see what she might be seeing, then suddenly spots it:: Rehu, do you have any of the environmental reports archieved from the area?

M_K_tKsa -> t'Ksa>::snaps her attention to tr'Aieme:: You thinking what I'm thinking?

tAehjae -> ::steps up to tTemarr:: Ie I willl have my team be Watchful for trouble. :: moves to the dheno console::

 

ACTION @> The landing padd still had the wreckage of a few small flitters around it's perimeter, evidence of crewmen that had been stationed here, their ships destroyed before they could use them or while attempting. t'Vatrix's ship set to the side.. Even in the dark, with the lightning strikes, the damage to the estate was eerie and obvious.

 

M_K_tKsa -> Rehu>::not sure what the two others are thinking, but overlaps forcast information from the bombing forward at the bottom on the screen::

KhreRiovtRex -> (Like....where did Leah's mom get too, eh?..Wait...strike that, Koga's mom had her)

M_K_tKsa -> ::breath catches in her throat when she reads in the information:: Is the same patterns repeating at the other four medical sites we've gotten in touch with?

NDak -> @ ::He frowned at the devastation. He knew his own family estate in Hein'Rhe, as well as their palatial manor on the grounds of the Senate had been spared. He couldn't help but feel guilty -- a strange feeling that he did not care to experience.

t'Barel>Ie, it doesn't make sense.

Lerak trPexil -> :: Looking at the wide-dispersal design they came up with ::

tr'Aieme> Ie it does, if it's....

M_K_tKsa -> ::speaking in unison with tr'Aieme::: ......in the water.

M_K_tKsa -> ::turns abruptly on her heels, dashing for the door, cursing the whole way off as she makes a mad dash for the oira::

NDak -> @ ::He pushed his own discomfort and disquiet aside.. there would be plenty of time for him to brood on the role his family had played in the events of the last few years, for now he focused on why he had come to the Vatrix Estate.::

M_K_tKsa -> t'Ksa>::bursts through io of the Oira's doors out of breath and holding the stitch on her side...probably could have comm'd the information if she'd been thinking a bit more logically::

Laehval tTemarr -> Good, we need to be prepared. The Stinger's weaponry is fully operational, so we have that in our arsenal, if needed. And, as the ship is smaller and more agile, we're taking her down planetside... ::She trailed off, seeing the Daise'Maenak out of breath.::

 

@ ACTION> Holding a cloak over his head, a man approaches N'Dak, two others stand a bit further back

 

Laehval tTemarr -> t'Ksa? ::Standing from her chair.::

NDak -> @ ::He stopped, bowing his head respectfully:: Jolan tru.

M_K_tKsa -> ::stammering through her out-of-breath attempts to talk;: It's in the w-water. I mean the water system...I mean ::gasp, cough:: The system...you know...::makes a twirly arm motion as if that explains the cycle::

tAehjae -> ::looks up to tKsa as she approaches::

KhreRiovtRex -> @ Jolan Tru....:: the first man replied, almost hesitantly. :: We saw your ship land, and wanted to see if au were having any difficulty? If au ship is unable to travel, we an make sure that au get to the next town and take au there....

Laehval tTemarr -> Au mean precipitation?

KhreRiovtRex -> ::the two men behind the first have gotten a look at NDak and whisper a siuren to each other::

NDak -> @ ::He shook his head:: Na, but hann'yyo for the offer. I am Enarrain Destorie N'Dak, I have served t'Vatrix for some time. I came to see her, if she is available.

Lerak trPexil -> :: Listens to t'Ksa ::

M_K_tKsa -> Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, lather, rinse, repeat...the cycle. It's spreading from the blast sites out because of the water system.

Lerak trPexil -> Then we need to treat the water system

M_K_tKsa -> ::managed to spit that out in all in one breath, now lightheaded, bends at the waist to try to catch her breath::

Laehval tTemarr -> ::She blinked and sat down hard.:: That is quite a deal more... difficult... to treat than something airborne.

M_K_tKsa -> A whole ecosystem? ::high pitched squeak:: This isn't how they designed this weapon...

Compound worker-> @ ::first, looking back at the two men with him, the man in the cloak turns back towards NDak:: Ie, we have seen au fahd before, but, we had also seen some of the 'others' that had come here before.....and this last time, they meant only harm to our benefactors. We will take au to her, but..... we will na let au harm her. :: his gaze turning to the two behind him, wielding objects beneath their cloaks::

Laehval tTemarr -> No, it isn't. They couldn't have possibly known.

NDak -> @ ::Nods, deciding to let his silence speak more than anything he could say::

Laehval tTemarr -> ::She pressed her hand for her forehead and squeezed her eyes shut.:: Alright...

Laehval tTemarr -> We need to treat the water system. ::Pointing at Pexil.:: But how? How do we get the anti-agent into the cycle?

 

Compound worker-> @ :: deciding they'd be na able to fight this man, and....the fact that he had been fahd before, he decided that perhaps this N'Dak....could help them with her.::

tAehjae -> :: listens as a plan is being made::

Laehval tTemarr -> The people need to be inoculated, of course... ::Opening her eyes and looking to tKsa.:: ...but will it help if the poison is still in the water?

Compound worker -> @ If au would follow me.......I will take au to her.

NDak -> @ ::nods:: Ie, lead the way.

tAehjae -> What about seeding the atmosphere

@ Man 2> I'm afraid that she is ....na herself. She is in shock....but will na let us help her. She is armed as well…… we knew na to press her.

Lerak trPexil -> We have to hit it at all points of they cycle... clouds, air, water, precipitation.

M_K_tKsa -> ::manages to push herself upright again, she's almost got her breath back:: While we're inoculating a segment of the population, another segment is being exposed by the water system. It's going to be a nightmare of never ending patients until either you're inoculated or exposed.

@Man 3> We will have to walk around the building I'm afraid, there is na left of the middle after...... the fire

NDak -> @ ::Nods, somberly:: I was concerned when I learned she had come here so soon. The emotions are still raw. I can na fault her for them, but the Galae needs her now more than ever.

Lerak trPexil -> We already have a solution to treat the atmosphere. We would need to treat the soild as well, to apply our solution to the water table.

M_K_tKsa -> How do we know it's not going to make things worse? Like the rest of our plants and animals are affected by the 'cure'?

@ Man 1> We tried to get her to come back with us to the outbuildings which had survived the attack. They had only targeted the main house and the guard quarters....., but she...she grew angry, we were afraid if we pushed her more, she'd either shoot us, or step off the bluff. She is ..... she remained by the grave where we buried the remains of her son. She would na come in out of the rain

Lerak trPexil -> (er soil)

tAehjae -> Seeding the atmosphere so when it rains it would get into the water supply?

Lerak trPexil -> We have ran simulations, but they are only as good as the data we feed it.

Laehval tTemarr -> ::She looked to t'Ksa.:: Can au make an inert anti-agent that only reacts within the presence of the bioweapon?

NDak -> @ ::He winced, if only for a moment:: I will see what I can do, but I offer na promises. She is as likely to turn her rage upon me.

Lerak trPexil -> :: Looks at t'Ksa ::

 

@ Man 2> She must be half frozen by now, but she sent us away, so we left her as requested. :: he pointed out towards a spot on the bluff, out towards a large rock she used to favor sitting upon and watching over the ocean:: We will wait here for au, if au can get her to come inside, we can get her something warm to drink, some dry blankets and clothes ...

M_K_tKsa -> ::blank stare through Laehval and tr'Pexil for a moment as she thinks things through, then slowly nods her head as she begins to focus again on t'Temarr:: I-It might be possible. Ie, it might be possible. ::taps a finger to her temple::

Lerak trPexil -> Machines...

M_K_tKsa -> It's na going to help those who've currently been exposed and are now sick, but it would prevent the spread. Ie, I just need---::is now semi-lost in thought, trying to figure out the formula, but then snaps out of it again:: If I can get something together, can au come up with the delivery options?

NDak -> @ ::Destorie nodded to them, steeling himself. The wind whipped about him, and the rain soaked his uniform. Looking towards the bluff, he saw t'Vatrix. It was a difficult vision. Here was the woman who had literally whipped him to near death, but whom he had also grown to respect more than almost anyone he'd ever encountered. She had, for so long, instilled such fear in others -- and himself -- and yet, here she was so incredibly vulnerable.

Lerak trPexil -> Nano machines could be programmed to identify the bioweapon and ignore that which is not.

Laehval tTemarr -> ::She nodded at Lerak's suggestion.:: Ie, that's doable. We have the raw materials available on the stinger.

KhreRiovtRex -> (a little NDak appears on his shoulder "Push her off the cliff...now's your chance)

NDak -> @ ::Her life had been far from easy, and though the full biographies of flag officers were typically off-limits for disherens, he had managed to see enough of her file to know that his life had been far easier. And now this? Her husband missing or dead, or her child, dead. Killed by vile veruuls, traitors to the Empire.::

Lerak trPexil -> Programming is simple enough. I'd rather have precision industrial replication facilities...

NDak -> @ ::Perhaps a quick death would be a mercy -- though he did not entertain the idea at any length. Na. t'Vatrix should na yy'a before she had a chance to satisfy the debt of vengeance she h'nah owed to the Othan and their allies.::

 

Lerak trPexil -> This location is as good as any for the test..

M_K_tKsa -> I'm going back down to the lab. I need to talk to Rehu about this. ::glances from tr'Pexil to t'Temarr, very uneasy about this discovery::

KhreRiovtRex -> @ :: lying on the ground, her arm across the small grave mound, she heard the boots rattling the gravel behind her :: I told au....leave me be....

NDak -> @ :He took a deep breath and approached the visage on the bluff: Shaoi kon, Khre'Riov. ::He used the more formal greeting of an inferior to a superior, though in her state he wondered if she would know his voice.::

Lerak trPexil -> I will add I am na an expert in nano-scale technology

Laehval tTemarr -> We are almost to the colony. ::Looking at Ksa.:: We will need this plan cemented soon.

KhreRiovtRex -> @ I did what they ordered.....they swore na harm would come to him if I obeyed....it was a suicide mission they ordered me on……but I went…..I did everything they forced me to do.... And ...and...:: she could only tell the tears on her face from the rain due to the warm saltiness that otherwise would have dried streaks...:: They threatened us, they threatened them both, and then they killed him….because.... of me, and to hurt Var’lon…because of me….

M_K_tKsa -> ::pushes her hands through her hair, looking uncharacteristically grim:: Ie, I know. It's all ready out of control as it is. We need to contain this.

NDak -> (( also the line from me earlier should be, "her life had been far from easy" for edit purposes ))

Lerak trPexil -> :: Starts to work on the nano-machines ::

NDak -> @ ::Kneeling, he undid the clasp on his cloak and put over the shivering woman:: Ie, ie.. come with me to a dry place.

Lerak trPexil -> :: Comes across many entries for it.. some of them Rihan, some of them Borg ::
