USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 51801.22 - SEASON 26

The away team had split up to cover more ground, with Heather and Seiben heading up into the mountains, while Jax and Rue had been monitoring from the shuttle. The ship was unable to go any further due to the interference that the colonists had reported. This also has been making communications difficult.

 

After injuring an ankle, Heather and Sieben were stranded about halfway to their objective when it turned dark and left them without survival gear. Luckily the Republic had been monitoring and had sent a survival pack to them, and pancakes to Rue and Jax. Meanwhile, Holly had sent her preliminary findings to Rue, that she picked up readings similar to when they had previously ran into fragments from a collapsed neutron star.

 

It's morning.........suns up...

STSF_BluRox: (Oh, and Holly has made sure that the Admiral is resting per the medic's orders)

Rue Wydown: ::has her pack ready to go:: We've got what, a good eleven hours of sunlight, right?

Heather Jamieson: :: Gathering their supplies up ::

STSF Seiben: ::putting away their bedding and stuff::

August Jax Robinson: if these Suns act like yesterdays

Rue Wydown: Got your pack ready?

STSF Seiben: How're you doing? Your ankle ok?

Rue Wydown: ((It's broken, isn't it?))

August Jax Robinson: I do, I have supplies as well if we can't make it to town or back here before Suns set

 

ACTION: As the two of them tumble together, a tree decides to help break their fall.....and evidently.... Heather's ankle)

 

STSF_BluRox: (She rolled a 1 on her luck roll, last sim of 2017)

STSF Seiben: You'd better stay off that ankle, or you'll make it worse

Heather Jamieson: No, it's not.. :: sitting her butt on the ground ::

August Jax Robinson: {{Carry her Hans!}}

Rue Wydown: Let's get going then. How far up do you think they got yesterday afternoon?

STSF Seiben: ::finishes putting everything away:: Let's try to get moving, I'll help carry you.

Heather Jamieson: Thanks.. Help me get my pack on.

August Jax Robinson: I think they are about a few miles North

STSF Seiben: Sure ::Places the pack on Heather's back:: Can you strap it on?

Rue Wydown: ::starts hiking, following the path that she thinks will take her to the life signs that Holly pinpointed.:: So Holly things that the readings are similar to a collapsed neutron star. What do you think about that?

STSF_BluRox: @Holly> :: running computations through the computer and trying to match with the information that had been sent from the colonists and from the away team's earlier information from the dam::

STSF Seiben: Hopefully, the rest of them can catch up with us soon

Heather Jamieson: I think so... :: giggles :: I think it's the altitude

Rue Wydown: ((Just so you know, if you're lost in the woods, you really should stay in one location so that a search party can find you.))

 

August Jax Robinson: {{you watch to much TV Rue}}

Rue Wydown: ((Heck no. If one of our campers had stayed put when she got lost, we wouldn't have had to sent a helicopter out looking for her))

Heather Jamieson: :: Gets out her tricorder, scans, points :: That direction.

STSF_BluRox: (I vaguely remember how angry you were after that!!)

Heather Jamieson: :: Waits for Seiben to help her up :: I hope I don't slow you down.

STSF Seiben: It'll be better if we take it slow ::helps her up:: We should stay close by in case the team is nearby

August Jax Robinson: ::opens Tric and looks for life or Comm signs::

Rue Wydown: ::sets up her combadge to send pings back to Republic, in addition to her tracking device:: Want to take bets on what we'll find up there?

Heather Jamieson: :: Wraps her arm around Seiben :: I think I'd rather be all green than this climb right about now.

STSF Seiben: It's not easy being green

STSF Seiben: ::Slowly goes ahead carrying Heather::

Heather Jamieson: But the exercise was good.

STSF_BluRox: @ Holly> :: tries to extrapolate back to any possible collapses, but not coming up with anything. Starts to cross reference other anomalous bodies that might have a clue

Heather Jamieson: I'll keep tabs on our path.

Rue Wydown: ::whistle while she hikes up, enjoying the adventure::

August Jax Robinson: ::Follows behind Rue:: I think Heather will be injured and Hans will wish he stayed on Earth

STSF Seiben: Keep a look out for the away team too, eh?

Rue Wydown: ::casts a glance back at Jax:: Do you know if they have any experience like this?

STSF_BluRox: (Hans, did you leave all the equipment that they just sent you, to carry Heather up a mountain?)

Heather Jamieson: Good news though, we may get there first, give a good report on our findings.

August Jax Robinson: other then the lame academy survival "training" no

STSF_BluRox: (personally I'd think it would be faster to go down.......Here...curl up in a ball..and push!) lol

Heather Jamieson: I'm thankful we were able to keep warm..

STSF Seiben: Yes, I'm glad we didn't freeze

STSF Seiben: (I packed most of it up)

Rue Wydown: ::mutters some sort of curse word in a language that her UT can't translate, then cheerily continues on:: Well, let's hope they've kept their heads and stayed put. Most lost adventurers succumb to the elements before they succumb to the wildlife.

Heather Jamieson: Could have been warmer. :: grins :: I hope if it came to that you'd not balk. :: hobbles along ::

STSF Seiben: Between the two of us, we have most of the equipment and supplies Holly sent us

Heather Jamieson: This is an odd planet. Parts of it reminds me of Caldos.

August Jax Robinson: are the Comm's to the ship working, maybe they can give us a better idea of how much of a lead they have on us

STSF Seiben: I don't think Ive been there

STSF_BluRox: (ok, you can't be carrying all of that...and Heather, we have no bags of holding here)

Heather Jamieson: It's a great deal like Earth's british isles.

STSF Seiben: Yes..

Heather Jamieson: (it would be back in that tube I would gather )

Rue Wydown: We can try. Not sure if being this far from the shuttle will affect our ability to comm the ship but not a bad idea. You want to give it a try?

Heather Jamieson: We still have a way to go.

 

ACTION: Heather and Rue have made good time and have arrived at the location where our wayward team had slipped on the rockfall area, The scattered rocks showing impressions in the dirt and rocks that appears a body slide down into a tree at one point.

 

STSF Seiben: I want to catch up with the rest of them

August Jax Robinson: +Republic+ this is Jax, are you receiving our signal?

Heather Jamieson: I'm too slow. The other team will catch up with us.

STSF Seiben: +AT+ Hello?

Rue Wydown: ::glancing around, brow raised:: Either someone attempted to go sledding with benefit of snow and sled, or I think we found some signs of our missing party.

Rue Wydown: ::does the old fashion two fingers in the mouth whistle, trying to get some sort of response::

STSF_BluRox: @Holly> +Com+ Thi..zzstsx.. Repuzzsttz.... We zz difficulty piczz#!@# signal the closer to###@ mount#@ platue...Boosters#$.. inzzsst....shuttle...buzz...zzz torpedo tube...Do zxx read us?

STSF Seiben: Getting tired.. need to rest a bit here. Where are?

 

ACTION: Jax and Rue hear mostly static from Holly on the Republic, but seem to be getting some other static from a nearby comm, that is not reading clearly

 

Heather Jamieson: No, not yet.

Rue Wydown: i see the remains of a campfire it looks like, up there. ::glances around, then whistles again::

STSF Seiben: (do we hear the whistle?)

Heather Jamieson: :: perks up :: Did you hear that?

STSF_BluRox: (since you asked...yes)

August Jax Robinson: ::opens Tric, looking for Human's::

STSF Seiben: Yes, I did. ::whistles back:: I'm glad we didn't get too far

Rue Wydown: C'mon. Looks like they went that way. ::starts hiking up::

August Jax Robinson: ::Follows:: I am not picking anything up yet

Heather Jamieson: I think I tracked us backwards

STSF Seiben: ::looks at his tricorder:: Not picking anything else..

Rue Wydown: I think it's the same interference that's affected our comms that affects the ability to scan further than what's in front of us. I see broken sticks and a few rocky slides from foot prints.

STSF_BluRox: (2 minute warning)

Rue Wydown: Look up ahead ::motions to the colors in the distance, then whistles a sequence::

STSF_BluRox: (avoids the temptation to have a flock of mocking jays answer back! lol)

STSF Seiben: ::yells out:: Helloo?

Heather Jamieson: :: Waves with her free hand ::

August Jax Robinson: ::Stops at the supply Trop

Heather Jamieson: Hey, if Jax is with them, don't let her hold me.

Rue Wydown: Yeah, that's them. ::sighs, shakes her head and continues plodding towards two wayward crewmen::

STSF Seiben: OK

August Jax Robinson: Commander

Rue Wydown: Yeah Jax?

August Jax Robinson: ::Pulls open the casing, unfolds the hatch door into a dish shape:: we can boost our comm's with this unit

STSF_BluRox: (Woot Engineers! gotta love em)

August Jax Robinson: ::pushes the latch and opens the rest of the casing::

Rue Wydown: Lovely. ::grins::

Heather Jamieson: Her and I don't get along... which is too bad.

STSF Seiben: It is

Heather Jamieson: I'm sure she has a sweet side...somewhere.

August Jax Robinson: ::Hands Rue the first aide kit

Rue Wydown: Thanks ::taking the kit:: Let me go see about the other two. We'll be right back.

STSF Seiben: ::Paused::

STSF_BluRox: (Sorry, ran over a few to make up for the conversation with our visitor.)

August Jax Robinson: ::paused:::

STSF_BluRox: Nicely done and now back together

STSF Seiben: Yay

Heather Jamieson: Reunited and it feels adequate.

Rue Wydown: Remedial survival training when we get back.

STSF Seiben: 

Heather Jamieson: At least I was not trying to shoot someone with a sniper rifle.

STSF_BluRox: Didn't they recently just finish that?

Rue Wydown: They didn't pass

STSF_BluRox: Ok, I've ran you over and you're all probably falling asleep. I'll see you on Thursday (Jax you should rejoin us)

STSF_BluRox: Rue, let me know if you can't, thanks for the heads up

Heather Jamieson: Bah, I've still not written that letter from Nalia..

Heather Jamieson: Night all

Heather Jamieson: I'll try to Jax
