USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 51803.12 - Season 26

The away team has returned and are in a debriefing with the Admiral.......Rue and Jax had just brought up the power station and we are awaiting the rest of the reports.

 

August Jax Robinson: (w) protect me Blu

STSF_BluRox: (that's creepy Heather)

STSF_BluRox: (Why am I envisioning you all in a Scooby Doo episode right now?)

STSF Seiben: Zoinks!

STSF_BluRox: (brilliant....what a great future idea!)

 

STSF_BluRox: BEGIN SIM

STSF_BluRox: BEGIN SIM

STSF_BluRox: BEGIN SIM

 

STSF_BluRox: :: Sits back listening to Rue and Jax discussing the power plant / hydroelectric dam::

Heather Jamieson: :: Watching the progress of the computer models being created from the tricorder data. They could not get clear readings, but perhaps the computer could shed some light... ::

STSF Seiben: ::watches as well and listens

STSF_BluRox: I'd like to hear from each of you, what your impressions were at the dam.

STSF_BluRox: Jax, please continue

August Jax Robinson: ::Points as Rue talks, then brings up images::

STSF_BluRox: Any opinion Jax? Why the twisted metal every time they started it up?

August Jax Robinson: I think the system should have been maintained better. but with the work we did, as long as they keep it up

August Jax Robinson: it should last

STSF Seiben: I agree, maintenance issues aside the dam seemed to be well constructed.

STSF_BluRox: What did you do at the dam to correct the issue? It was my understanding that you were observing

August Jax Robinson: I think they had a weak metal, it is natural that it would need to be replaced with a stringer

STSF_BluRox: But why every time they started it up, the new turbines would bend as well?

August Jax Robinson: they used the best the planet could make

STSF_BluRox: Quite the puzzle

STSF_BluRox: ::turned to Heather and the newer Seiben...it was hard to get past the family resemblance , nearly identical to one of his predecessors:: Tell me about what you found up on the plateau?

STSF_BluRox: (oh wtf.... weatherman is now saying we might get 24"....3 days ago, it was 3-6"...grrr)

Heather Jamieson: The readings were off the charts for a tricorder, but I think with the ship scanning and our local devices scanning we should be able to create a clearer picture. But we are only scratching the surface, literally. Preliminary data suggests activity below the surface.

STSF Seiben: We found abnormal readings coming from the lakes there; a high amount of electromagnetic readings.

August Jax Robinson: ((umm, this is my 3rd Nor'easter. we can't keep up with the tree branches! our cherry picker is sidelined because she is a 1994/1992))

STSF Seiben: (oooh)

August Jax Robinson: ((FYI, the truck and Boom might not be the same age))

STSF_BluRox: (3rd in 12 days here.... but they are sort of normal for us here)

 

STSF Seiben: We weren't able to pinpoint the exact source of these readings before we left, but I imagine it is what's causing all the electrical interference.

STSF_BluRox: Heather, what did you find about the readings...I know Holly mentioned that she sent some information to Rue to inform the team. She will be joining us shortly, she's investigating another lead and wants to have all her data together before she joins us

Heather Jamieson: Very erratic, highly energetic. I'd not want to remain there long. I believe the source may be underground.

August Jax Robinson: it was a long hike

STSF Seiben: That it was

Heather Jamieson: There is so much interference that real-time analysis is not really possible.

STSF_BluRox: So, can I have a hypothesis from you all, as to what you think it might me?

STSF_BluRox: (sorry, had to pop into the lobby to help someone new)

Heather Jamieson: A geological anomaly centered at that plateau due to underground rare element structures energized by... I'm not certain. Could be the work they are doing here. Geological activity...

STSF Seiben: It seems really a large source to be manmade, though I wouldn't discount the possibility. I would assume its some sort of electrical field or geological phenomena

August Jax Robinson: I think it might be something kind of vibration, like area's that have those sounds from no where in places

August Jax Robinson: there is no sound that we can hear, it might not be something we can pick up... yet

Heather Jamieson: Dilithium deposits...?

STSF_BluRox: What of the ...sparkling lights that they were describing. Did you get a chance to observe and record the phenomenon?

STSF_BluRox: (Welcome Suvok)

August Jax Robinson: We did see them, it was amazing

STSF Seiben: The lights could be an electrical aura similar to the auroras on Earth's poles

Suvok: (Thank you, BluRox.)

Heather Jamieson: Very low to the ground Seiben

STSF_BluRox: ::looks down at her Padd noticing that Holly had just sent some files to review::

STSF Seiben: Yes, but the electrical field is underground as you suggest, then I suppose it could be possible... but then again, you're the scientist not me.

STSF_BluRox: Ah, one moment..... got some information: transfers the file to be shown on the larger screen.

STSF Seiben: but if the electrical...*

August Jax Robinson: ::Looks over the readings::

STSF Seiben: ::looks at the screen::

STSF_BluRox: Holly had noted that there had been some anomalous readings that on a much smaller scale, almost appeared similar to what would be seen from the energy or debris from an exploding neutron star.... Did you factor any of that into your information and hypothesis?

 

ACTION :: brings up a holoimage of the plateau the team had just visited. From orbit, it can be seen that it is not just a plateau, but actually a crater upon a mountaintop, but not like a volcano.

 

Heather Jamieson: No, but I can. The computer will have to take some time with it.

STSF_BluRox: Holly is already working on it, she had assumed you took the information you had been sent to factor it into your observations.

Heather Jamieson: I was correlating the tricorder data with the ship's sensors.

STSF_BluRox: Holly> ::: activates the viewer and shows up on their screens:: I've been going through the data and the information that the team collected. it is my best hypothesis, that a few small fragments from a neutron star implosion, may have made their way here by the power of the blast. Typically, most matter would have been recaptured by the resultant black hole being formed, however, it is not uncommon that a stray bit may escape.

STSF_BluRox: Holly> If this indeed what the issue is, these people may have a problem. It may be that those small fragments by nature of their density and general nature, are most likely working their way down into the planet and may be the cause of the electromagnetic disturbances.

August Jax Robinson: isn't that what I said?

STSF_BluRox: Blu> Holly, keep investigating, I'll have the team factor in this new information and see what they come up iwth.

STSF_BluRox: Alright, while Holly works on that.... what impact on the colonist could this have, and on the terraforming project in general?

STSF_BluRox: Anyone?

August Jax Robinson: it could destroy the planet

Heather Jamieson: As they scale up projects it could become a greater problem.

STSF_BluRox: That is a distinct possibility

STSF Seiben: Yes, I'd imagine the more they dig, the bigger the electromagnetic disturbance gets

STSF_BluRox: I think it also relates back to the bent turbines at the dam. Not shoddy workmanship, but electromagentic issues

STSF Seiben: ::nods::

STSF_BluRox: Heather, Seiben, I'd like for you both to head to Astrometrics and discuss this with Holly.

Heather Jamieson: Understood.

STSF Seiben: Yes sir

STSF_BluRox: Jax, I want you and Rue to discuss the colonist issue with me. Do we need to evacuate? If they refuse, do we make them leave or are we forced to let them be?

August Jax Robinson: I think if they keep on drilling yeah, they are going to go boom

 

STSF_BluRox: PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox: PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox: PAUSE SIM

 

August Jax Robinson: ::Paused:::

STSF_BluRox: Ok, great job tonight being a bit on the light side. Made some progress on what is going on, but now have to work to figure out what to do about it, and what 'are' those strange sparkling lights?!

STSF_BluRox: Any questions or comments before we end tonight?

STSF_BluRox: (Oh...and say hello to Suvok, who stopped in to watch the sim, and I believe is a new member?)

STSF Seiben: Hey

Suvok: (I am Indeed. I am watching to learn of how the roleplay functions.)

STSF_BluRox: It's pretty easy, you are welcome to stop by our Romulan game on Thursday night if you like as well, and Seiben has a weekend game he runs as well

STSF_BluRox: Also, if you look at he drop down menu at the top of the screen, on the help tab, the drop down menu will take you to Walking and Talking, it will detail how we talk and type to indicate conversation vs actions

STSF_BluRox: There are games most nights during the week, feel free to drop in and watch how they go. We are open to new crew so if you are interested, stop back again and we can discuss letting you try playing on a trial basis to see if you like it or not

STSF_BluRox: Ok, and I know some of you have to work in the morning, so let's wrap this up for tonight.

STSF_BluRox: Crew Dismissed. See you Thursday on the Talon
