 USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 51710.16 - Season 25

 USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 51710.16 - Season 25

Melos 3 is a small planet located in the Melos star system. Located midway between Darbet and Gaithe, Melos 3 had been left un-colonized for some time as both sides wished to claim, but neither wanted to start a war while applying for Federation membership. Now, with both having become Federation members, a joint colony had been established about 20 years previously, but now reports of strange occurrences, broken machinery and sabotage have surfaced. We are to investigate and put a stop to what we find.

 (this was from the meeting we were having at the end of the last sim we ran)

STSF_BluRox: So, we need to look, see who oversees what, what they export and what they import, and from whom the reports have been sent from. From what I understand, there are several towns spread out along the main continent, so it will be more complicated.:: Looks around at the others to see if she still has their attention of if she had bored them to sleep::

August Jax Robinson: how many people are supposed to he on this planet?

STSF Seiben: ::looks around as well::

Heather Jamieson: :: Listening and watching ::

STSF_BluRox: Well, the briefing stated that they had started with a small joint colony of about 300 at one point, but in the last 20 years, they've spread out and started several new towns/settlements, and we're guessing with others that have joined from each world, that we're looking at about 500 people

STSF Seiben: ::listens::

August Jax Robinson: hmm

STSF Seiben: ::nods and makes some mental notes::

Rue Wydown: ::trying to mentally calculate just how many terra forming domes they'd need to maintain that population.::

STSF_BluRox: However, some of the recent 'accidents' have taken a few lives. The security teams have reported they were all 'suspicious and they felt deliberate or some sort of sabotage to prime systems, or at some of the terraforming locations.

 

August Jax Robinson: have we been sent copies of these accident reports?

Rue Wydown: This should be interesting. Rumors and finger pointing are involved, I bet?

STSF_BluRox: In short, this world has a lot of resources. Both planets were interested and used to fight over who would control this....until they realized it would jeopardize their Federation applications. So, with the help of an arbitor, they peacefully agreed to joint custody of the planet, with rules on how much could be harvested or cleared.

Heather Jamieson: What a logistical nightmare.

STSF_BluRox: Yes, we'll have to pull them up. Of concern was a failure at a power plant, which caused an explosion and killed several workers. Then food supplies were destroyed...by a roof failure of the location much of the grain waiting to be processed was stored, ruining it all

STSF Seiben: I see. I`ll make the necessary arrangements to house them all.

STSF_BluRox: The Admiral said that both worlds have filed a grievance against the other, accusing each of trying to kill or frighten the others off, so that they could claim it for their own.  So, that's what we're here to determine

Heather Jamieson: Is there a third party that would benefit from these two groups fighting?

STSF_BluRox: There have been a few others as well, but those were the two that stood out.

STSF_BluRox: Again, that is something we are here to investigate

August Jax Robinson: ::Sighs::

STSF_BluRox: If Starfleet already knew, we'd not be having to spend the rest of our leave break, being assigned to figure this out

STSF Seiben: ::rubs chin:: Coming in completely in the dark, eh? OK

Rue Wydown: So, where do we start, folks? Who wants to tackle what?

STSF Seiben: (my keyboard was set to French)

STSF_BluRox: :: turns looking at Seiben:: Wait...what do you mean you will make arrangements to 'house them all'?

STSF Seiben: Sorry, I misheard. I thought we were bringing the colonists up.

August Jax Robinson: maybe we can lock them up until someone fesses up

STSF_BluRox: We are not bringing 500 colonist up, besides, then if any one was left, they'd claim the place as abandoned for their own world

STSF Seiben: ::nods::

STSF_BluRox: I don't believe the brig is big enough to lock up everyone from this world

STSF_BluRox: Rue, get me some firm plans from this group please, I need to step out for a moment.

Heather Jamieson: Are the people that rough down there?

STSF Seiben: I would imagine so, no food or power and everyone's fighting each other...

Rue Wydown: Aye, ma'am. ::nods, although the idea of locking up all the colonists in the Republic's brig makes it hard for her to keep from laughing outright::

Heather Jamieson: :: Thinks of her phaser ::

Rue Wydown: ::claps her hands together;: Okay folks. Where do you want to start? Who wants to take on what tasks?

Heather Jamieson: :: Looks to Jax ::

August Jax Robinson: I can get their systems up and running, look over the other stuff and make sure nothing has a trap set up

Rue Wydown: Brilliant. ::nods to Jax, then turns to the other two:: And you lot?

Heather Jamieson: I can do a sensor log search to see if anyone outside of these two groups are causing these 'accidents'

STSF Seiben: I could arrange the delivery of supplies to the colony, food and generators and anything else they need

Heather Jamieson: Afraid to say it, but could someone in the Federation itself be manipulating events?

Rue Wydown: You know who to talk to get that list? ::making a note on her table on who's going to do what::

Rue Wydown: Ms Jamieson, how would you find that out?

 

August Jax Robinson: ::Makes a few notes on where to start down thereee::

Rue Wydown: And Jax, would you be willing to also take a look at the accident reports from an engineer's point of view?

Heather Jamieson: I'd have to do some poking around. The log search is easy, the other is not

Heather Jamieson: Not saying it is, but something to consider.

STSF Seiben: Hm

Rue Wydown: And from a scientific point of view, what sort of poking around are you planning?

August Jax Robinson: I can give them a look, but I can only guess with stuff that is Non-Engineering

Heather Jamieson: I'll have to ask questions as I do other investigations of scientific interest

Heather Jamieson: A bit of social engineering

 

STSF_BluRox: :: in her ready room, rubbing at her forehead, the headaches she is frequented with bothering her again tonight, most likely from not sleeping much during the trial::

STSF Seiben: Social engineering, eh?

Heather Jamieson: I'm not dressing in green if that's what you are thinking.

STSF Seiben: okay

Heather Jamieson: Are we to have armed escorts?

Rue Wydown: Armed escorts would be overkill, don't you think? You'd be escalating an already tense situation.

Heather Jamieson: Well from the sounds of it we should not be going anywhere alone.

STSF Seiben: We'd have security, wouldn't we?

Rue Wydown: Seiben, while you're preparing a list of relief needs, why don't you see what you can find out from the adminstrators about the inport/export information.

STSF Seiben: Yes, sure.

Rue Wydown: We'll have security, but we're not sending in the Marines ::dark look to both Jamieson and Seiben for going way out of bounds::

STSF_BluRox: (clarification to above statement -- it was a food storage location, there are several on the planet, so not totally without food, just tight. Power outages also only affect some of the main areas)

STSF_BluRox: :: goes to the replicator and asks for some hot water to perhaps make some tea to help with the headache::

@ Holly> :: materializes a cup of tea and a plate of toast::

Rue Wydown: Jamieson, I want you to also look at the autopsy reports with our CMO and see if these incidents are accidents or deliberate.

STSF_BluRox: @ I can get something on my own you know

@Holly> Yes, but you are stubborn. And I know you'll feel better once you have some tea to calm that headache down

Heather Jamieson: :: nods ::

STSF_BluRox: @ Don't be a busybody Holly

Rue Wydown: Does everyone have a clear idea of what they're doing?

STSF Seiben: Yes sir

August Jax Robinson: ::Looks at Seiben:: we might want to see if the same group or race is focused on

STSF Seiben: ::nods:: That makes sense

Rue Wydown: Oh, good point Jax. ::scribbles in her tablet::

@ Holly> If you'd rather, I can help the crew beam everyone up and let them sleep in your ready room and quarters if you like?

STSF_BluRox: @ Someone wants her partition quarantined again?

@ Holly> Will's not here, he's the only other one with clearance to do it. So ha. Besides, I just sent a note to get you some help...

STSF_BluRox: @ What did you do?

Heather Jamieson: This could be family disagreements

Rue Wydown: Okay, anything else? Is everyone clear on their tasks/

STSF Seiben: Nothing from me, and yes.

 

ACTION:: Note appears on Rue's padd. Admiral has one of her recurring headaches, and would desperately appreciate if you could help her out with one of your tea blends to help soothe the pain for her. - Sincerely, Holly

 

August Jax Robinson: Candy and coffee then work?

Rue Wydown: Whatever it takes to get you psyched up for work. ::grins, slaps the table with enthusiasm:: Alright, let's get to work then. I’ll go and update the Admiral.

Heather Jamieson: :: Makes notes in her PADD ::

STSF_BluRox: @ Holly, you are not helping my headache. I just want some dark chocolate and darken the room for a few moments to rest.

STSF Seiben: ::makes some notes in his PADD as well::

August Jax Robinson: ::sighs:: crap

STSF_BluRox: @ :: after a moment of looking at Holly grin, she deducts what she has done:: Oh no you didn't!!? What did I do wrong to you today? I should enhance your taste receptors, so you can appreciate that nasty stuff as well.

Heather Jamieson: What? :: to Jax ::

Rue Wydown: ::amused by the note on the padd, knowing very well that Blu wouldn't appreciate one of her tea blends, but it might bring her in better humor to be teased by it::

@ Holly> :: tracking Rue:: Well, I have stuff I need to work on, enjoy your toast, I need to get back to work

Rue Wydown: :nods to the others and heads out of the conference room to check on the Admiral in her Ready Room::

August Jax Robinson: nothing... just mumbles of love

Rue Wydown: ::rings the chime to the Ready Room::

@ Holly> Have a nice rest Admiral, I have to go... :: fades out::

Heather Jamieson: :: Scrunches her brow, then nods ::

 

STSF_BluRox: :: sighs:: Enter

August Jax Robinson: ::grabs her coffee and PADD::

Rue Wydown: ::the picture of innocence as if it wasn't Holly who requested her presence:: Admiral?

STSF Seiben: ::heads back to the bridge and to his console::

STSF_BluRox: Yes Rue? Come in....excuse the lighting, I have it turned down a little bit at the moment

Rue Wydown: Aye. You know, if you're feeling poorly, I've got just the pick me up that might work?

STSF Seiben: ::does a quick inventory of what they have::

August Jax Robinson: a brick? ::Looks at Rue::

STSF_BluRox: :: mumbles:: Bloody hologram:::

Heather Jamieson: :: Entering what she will need database wise ::

Rue Wydown: Whot's that?

STSF_BluRox: (Rue's in my ready room )

STSF_BluRox: Nothing...nothing....just making a note about Holly.

August Jax Robinson

Heather Jamieson: :: Looks around to see if Holly is about ::

August Jax Robinson: ::Heads to Engineering::

STSF_BluRox: Well, you've found me out....can't imagine how... :: ears flatten a bit at Holly, knowing she's watching:: As bad at it taste, I'm game to have a go at one of your blends, I feel my head is splitting open at the moment...

STSF Seiben: ::checking their stocks:: Okay, that should be plenty.

STSF_BluRox: Perhaps it was the thought of us beaming up 500 colonists.....

Rue Wydown: ::laughs, moving to the replicator::

STSF_BluRox: Do you mind riding herd on this while I take a brief respite and try to feel a bit better? If you could meet with the colonist leaders to at least let them know our people will be poking around....before they start poking around, that would be greatly appreciated.

August Jax Robinson: ::Enters the lift:: Engineering

Heather Jamieson: :: Moves to Seiben :: I may need some local database for my PADD, if you can help

Rue Wydown: No problem. ::putting a particularly pungent blend of tea on Blu's desk::

STSF_BluRox: :: catches a wiff and swears the woman purposely finds the worst tasting combos to test out on her..... for sadistic fun::

STSF_BluRox: That smells worse than the last....I didn't think that was possible.

STSF Seiben: Ok sure.

STSF Seiben: ::works with Heather::

Rue Wydown: It'll work. Trust me

STSF_BluRox: :: picks it up, knowing it's only going to be worse if she lets it get cold (from her last experience with Rue's teas)......:: starts drinking it:::

STSF_BluRox: :: making a look like a cat accidentally sucked on something like a lemon crossed with ghost peppers....and perhaps a dead fish:::

 

STSF_BluRox: Oh blazes....if it doesn't kill me first......

STSF_BluRox: :: takes another swallow, noting already, that it seems to be making her drowsy::

Heather Jamieson: :: to Seiben :: I may need a more capable padd.

Rue Wydown: I could go into the Science of it all, but that face you made it just says it all.

Rue Wydown: ((and maybe Holly messed with the recipe))

STSF Seiben: You could get one from by spacial net easily

STSF Seiben: from the*

STSF_BluRox: Well, nothing for it... ::: downs the rest and moves over to the small couch to sit down::

STSF_BluRox: Thank you Rue, hopefully this will help. I appreciate your efforts And thanks for following up on this, I'll join you once I'm feeling a bit better.

 

PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox: I'll see all of you (except Jax  on Thursday
