USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 51711.13 - SEASON 26

The Away Team has went down to the first area that had reported having some equipment difficulties (shut downs, shorts) and also reporting some sort of shimmering apparition over parts of the lake and mountains above. They have met with Dalon Nvechkionarshiv (Dalon for short), and are discussing any issues he may know of.

Heather Jamieson: :: Looking around, trying to get the lay of the land, err, planet ::

STSF Seiben: ::follows Heather and Rue::

Rue Wydown: ::wondering if the apparitions are a gas output, like the Griswalds (or so she heard)::

STSF_BluRox: Dalon>  :: has sent one of his men to bring a copy of their mechanical readings from the dam, as well as any local scans to try to get a fix on where they had been seeing those shimmering areas

Heather Jamieson: I'm sure there is a logical explanation for those appearances

STSF Seiben: Yes, I'm sure as well.

Heather Jamieson: How long have these sightings occurred?

STSF_BluRox: Dalon>  The only other thing we had noted, was some sort of strong reading, coming from both the mountains, as well we thought there were some readings near the lake, but like I said, our computers got messed up, not sure why yet

Rue Wydown: ::glancing at Jamieson and Seiben who've uttered the one sentence you do not utter on a Republic away mission....::

STSF_BluRox: Dalon>  They've been seen more recently, after the blasting in the mountains, and then more frequently as we try to repair things

Heather Jamieson: Blast the mountain?

STSF Seiben: ::scans the area with his trircorder::

STSF_BluRox: Dalon>   Yes.... we're terraforming, we had to divert some rivers, so they ended up here and made a basin to hold it, from here, we then have hydroelectric power and a water supply. And with controlled release, nice farm and wetlands down below.

Rue Wydown: And prior to the terraforming, I"m assuming you all did a full catalogue of lifeforms?

STSF_BluRox: Dalon>  However, with the accidents, we're worried that there could be a failure of the dam, and flood the settlements

Heather Jamieson: We can collect structural data and run simulations on our vessel.

STSF_BluRox: Dalon>  Of course, the biologist did. I just do dams and geology. Though we did get some of the darnest readings after we were working on things. But we also thought it could be from a meteor that had brushed the atmosphere. Most of it should have dried up

STSF_BluRox: (burnt up, but it's possible some fragments or debris had landed)

Heather Jamieson: We may need scans from Republic herself.

Rue Wydown: Can you give us a tour of the dam facility?

STSF_BluRox: Dalon>   Did you want a tour of the dam?

 

Heather Jamieson: :: Wonders about those 'accidents' he spoke of ::

Heather Jamieson: :: nods ::

STSF_BluRox: Dalon> :: grins as they speak at the same time::

STSF Seiben: ::Looks at his tricorder:: I'm getting some usual scans - getting some high energy readings. It could possibly be electromagnetic interference?

STSF_BluRox: Dalon> Of course, this way....

STSF Seiben: Hmm. ::follows::

Rue Wydown: ::following along behind Dalon, glancing around as they travel::

STSF_BluRox: Dalon> :: turns to the Federation officer:: Well, you may be picking up our generators, though as he see, they're pretty much offline while we are doing safety checks. Perhaps they have some sort of remaining charge

STSF Seiben: Perhaps, but it seems kind of high. How recently were they turned off, if I might ask?

Heather Jamieson: :: Really wants to see these apparitions as they called them ::

STSF_BluRox: Dalon> The other day.... the apparitions are easiest to see at night when it's dark

STSF_BluRox: Dalon> Be certain to hold the hand railing, these steps can be a little slick due to condensation

Rue Wydown: How much time before night fall today?

 

STSF_BluRox: Dalon> Looks at his timepiece: I'd say we have about 3 hours until it's dark . You all will share with us any tampering that you might find with the equipment? We want to prevent any issues, not lose the dam while negotiations are ongoing with those untrustworthy Gaitians

Rue Wydown: We'll let you know what we find out. But I expect full cooperation from you and your people while we investigate. Something tells me this is more complicated than it looks.

STSF_BluRox: Dalon> Here we go, here are our 4 large generators that harness the power from

Rue Wydown: Whooo...wow. ::taking a gander::

STSF Seiben: ::looking at the generators:: Ooohh

STSF_BluRox: Dalon>, Yea, I"m pretty proud of building these myself, but something keeps frying the power grid and we have to keep turning them off.

STSF Seiben: ::then at his tricorder as it begins to beep erratically:: I'm picking up more unusual readings again, the same electromagnetic spikes. But it seems to be coming from outside towards the horizon towards the mountains or the lake.

 

Rue Wydown: How often does that happen?

STSF Seiben: ::not quite sure what to make of the tricorder readings::

STSF_BluRox: Dalon> As I was saying, it's been getting more frequent since we finished the main blasting and the lake has filled

Rue Wydown: How long have you been down this time?

STSF_BluRox: Dalon> About 4 days, we're almost ready to start it up again. Hopefully today, most likely tomorrow

STSF Seiben: My tricorder is picking up these odd electro-magnetic fluctuations. Some odd gravitational readings as well. It seems to be concentrated in the mountains over there in the distance. I think my tricorder might be on fritz.

Rue Wydown: Is this the only area where you're having trouble? I mean, your settlement itself hasn't had issues. How far away is the other settlement in relationship to this facility?

STSF Seiben: ::to Heather:: I think my tricorder's dying. How's yours? You picking up the same thing?
