USS Excalibur Sim Log - 01.21.18

[Cdr Miranda Hawthorne 0]

MISSION BRIEF:  Commander Arden Cormoran has delivered news that Captain Swain is missing. He and Commander Hawthorne have decided to quietly begin searching for him, opting against telling Command for fears that he will be listed AWOL and the search be taken out of Excalibur's hands. We pick up with the search beginning.

Indaura Ryssan: :: In medical ::

William Chocox: ::gets to work figuring out how to get access to station biometrics::

Hunter Matheson: ::at aux helm, searching for flight plans, and about to hack into the station system to snag those::

Hunter Matheson: (Joined at the brain, Cho)

Cptn Swain: Arden> ::with Miranda in the briefing room, going through logs::

William Chocox: I might have to go on board. ::sees if he can even access them remotely::

Hunter Matheson: ::searching their files, doesn't find much except who went where during leave, which makes him smirk::

Rhan K'hal: :: at Mission Ops, freely looking through the station's files, specifically looking over passenger manifests - it helps to be drinking buddies with the Operations Manager ::

Hunter Matheson: ::looks around, then leans over the console for his black magic::

Hunter Matheson: ::and if he knew that he'd be really pissed:::

Rhan K'hal: Hakran> :: sitting next to his brother, taking his share of the files ::

William Chocox: Ah ha! ::gets into the system and starts looking, trying to be discreet about it::

Hunter Matheson: ::and... he's in:::

William Chocox: ((Get out of my mind. ))

Hunter Matheson: ::time frame...2 weeks:::

Hunter Matheson: (Hard to, man. There's too much really cool stuff you keep in there. )

Rhan K'hal: :: NIP :: I hope Ahmed is taking the afternoon off. We probably have every department poking through 39 Tango's data storage today.

Rhan K'hal: Hakran> What'll he do if he does notice?

William Chocox: ::is limiting his search to the past few days::

Hunter Matheson: :::page.. page... page... page::::

Rhan K'hal: Contact me, probably. He'd know I wouldn't be hampawed about it, and try to pick my brain.

Hunter Matheson: ::sets more parameters::

Hunter Matheson: ::stops, pages back:::

Hunter Matheson: ::makes note... was present on station 6 days ago:::

Hunter Matheson: ::make that 7... just to be safe::

Rhan K'hal: :: harrumphs : : This is getting us nowhere. :: stands, starts his usual high-speed pace around the bridge ::

William Chocox: Hold on, is that him? ::checks:: Damnit, no.

Hunter Matheson: ::looks up as fur passes by:::

Hunter Matheson: ::then... system stops:::

Rhan K'hal: Hakran> :: patiently continues his work, taking no notice of his brother's antics ::

William Chocox: How can a human just disappear? That makes no sense.

Hunter Matheson: Hm... ::makes note... unknown left station at 0328 six days ago:::

Hunter Matheson: ::checks for other unknowns:::

Hunter Matheson: ::stop.. reverse...:::

Hunter Matheson: ::forward..... stop::

William Chocox: ::keeps looking, getting more and more frustrated::

Hunter Matheson: ::leans back in his chair, crack the back:::

Cptn Swain: Augustin> ::Enters the bridge, looking through a PADD, glances to the pacing feline then to the seated one:: So, how are we doing?

Hunter Matheson: ::turns at the entry::: Sir?

Cptn Swain: Augustin> I am going through the airlock and transporter records. ::Grimaces::

Hunter Matheson: ::swivels to his direction:: What are the ways someone could leave the station as an "unknown"?

Cptn Swain: Augustin> Do you have any idea how people have passed through this ship over the last few days?

Hunter Matheson: Yes, sir. I do.

Hunter Matheson: A lot.

Cptn Swain: ((I wish chat would tell you when someone left the room ))

Hunter Matheson: (Got an AWOL)

Cptn Swain: Augustin> ::Smirks:: That's understatement, especially with all these tech people bouncing around for the repairs.

Cptn Swain: Augustin> Anyway, what did you find?

Hunter Matheson: Well, sir. ::pulls up the info on a screen::

Hunter Matheson: Strange thing... at 0328 6 days ago, someone left the station incognito.

Cptn Swain: Augustin> ::Puts the PADD down on the railing and walks down to the helm console to take a look::

Hunter Matheson: Just.. doesn't compute.

Hunter Matheson: And there's no indication of the captain after that. And... it's hard to find him before that.

Hunter Matheson: But... I'm helm, so it might just be me.

Hunter Matheson: ::shrug;:

William Chocox: ::searches outside his initial range::

Cptn Swain: Augustin> ::Nods:: There are a few reasons why someone's identity might be kept off station logs, though I would assume Commander Cormoran would likely be aware of them as the circumstances that those reasons exist tend towards the rather important.

Cptn Swain: Augustin> So, this is our first bit of evidence then that the Captain did leave the station.

Hunter Matheson: Maybe so, sir. Maybe not.

Hunter Matheson: But I've only found one.

Cptn Swain: Augustin> But the log just indicates the person is no longer aboard. It doesn't have anything substantial. But it's a start.

Hunter Matheson: Aye, sir. I'll continue looking.

Hunter Matheson: Sir...?

Hunter Matheson: That person had to leave on something. Maybe set parameters for that time frame for ship logs?

Cptn Swain: Augustin> ::Glances back to the felines:: How about you two?

Hunter Matheson: ::turns back, muttering:: Unless he's floating outside the station... but that doesn't make any sense...:::

Hunter Matheson: ::checks that, just in case:::

Indaura Ryssan: :: Doing some paperwork, though there is really no paper involved ::

Hunter Matheson: ::leaning on his console, watching data scroll by:::

Cptn Swain: Augustin> ::glances back over to Hunter and starts to say something, but that was possibility they'd need to consider.::

Hunter Matheson: ::looking for other unknowns, and finding none, changes the parameters to all leaving the station in that 2 hr time frame:::

Hunter Matheson: ::changes it to a 1 hour time frame:::

Cptn Swain: Augustin> ::Glances over to Hunter:: Has anyone checked the flight deck yet? I know Commander d'Aubugine and most of the flight crew are still out on their training exercises.

Hunter Matheson: ::on second thought.. or third thought... makes it 30 minutes, and swivels:: No idea, sir. I haven't started there.

Hunter Matheson: Has anyone contacted them, sir?

Hunter Matheson: ::his mind begins to spin with possibilities:::

Cptn Swain: Augustin> Well, then. Sounds like a good idea.

Hunter Matheson: On it, sir.

Hunter Matheson: :::hunts through flight plans:::

Hunter Matheson: ::giving it a.... 2 hour time frame:::

Hunter Matheson: ::stops it, then changes parameters to 5 hours... he has a hunch::

Hunter Matheson: :::and throws that out to begin from, well, the beginning:::

Cptn Swain: ACTION> Sadly, there are no anomalous flight plans.

Hunter Matheson: ::sad... very, very sad:::

Hunter Matheson: ::but that narrows the scope:::

Hunter Matheson: ::Leans back toward Augustin:: No strange flight plans, sir.

Cptn Swain: Augustin> Well that doesn't mean anything. Can you run a search on the status of all of our shuttle craft, including the Captain's Yacht.

Hunter Matheson: On it, sir.

Cptn Swain: ...and...

Hunter Matheson: ::flip, tap:::
