[Chirakis 1]

=/\= Aegis Mission Brief 1/25/19 - 10:04 PM=/\=
6 May 2388 - Stardate 2388.127

TBS is zero. The time is 1500 hours (3:00 PM) Aegis local.
Science is slowly bearing down on the planetoid where Argos II crashed.
Nei'rrh and Shuttle Warren are under repair just outside the planetoid's gravity well.
On the planetoid, Argos II is still under repair.
The children and Dr Y'shta are with Dr Brubaker while the rest of Argos II's crew continues with repairs.
@ for Argos II and the planet.
# for Nei'rrh.
& for Shuttle Warren.

Theobald Dumont: ::at science station II::
mimipavilion: ::in her office::
Alexis McFarland: @ ::With Miana and Annisha::
Jylliene: ::Ops::
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::at the CnC science station::
Chirakis: :::CnC, staring at the tactical grid:::
Dacia Sandero: ::in sickbay, worried about the kids::
Fletcher Jackson: :::Aux OPS::
Tarisa: # ::On the Nei'rrh, looking at her dead console.::
Tarisa: @ Miana> :;Excited to eat soon.::
Jylliene: ::trying to think of a time that Annisha has left the station that hasn't led to some mishap.::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::looking at Nijil:: anything on that tricorder?
Jylliene: ::for that matter, hard to think of any large stretches of time ON station sans mishap::
Alexis McFarland: @ ::next to Miana::
Scott Coleridge: ::on the CnC, keeping an eye on things as he mulls over Ramson's cryptic... promise::
Scott Coleridge: ::makes a note to get his affairs in order, again::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: Shall I begin with the gravimetric distortion scanner sir?
Jylliene: ::wonders if this is more an adolescent thing, a Rihan thing, or some combination thereof::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Some...but it's power is limited and the hull blocks a lot of the signal.
Tae'Lynn Dran: Yes, please. I'm trying to make sense of these spectrum readings.
Chirakis: @ Brubaker> :::as he exits his shuttle home:: And... here we are. A wonderful porridge of carrots, beets, and assorted other things. ::passes bowls around:::
Tarisa: @ Miana> ::Takes a bowl and curiously sniffs it.::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: & Gila> :: Adrift in space ::
Alexis McFarland: @ ::Looks at the bowl:: Mmm.
Theobald Dumont: Ok ::initiates a high powered long range active scan of the first "shadow"::
Johnson Kenyon: # Can we use the tricorder or something else to restore power to the sensors or retrieve the data that was already recorded?
Chirakis: ::is not very patient at the moment:::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::wonders if we have a buoy or something to measure drift::
Alexis McFarland: @ ::takes a spoonful of the food and takes a bite:: Hm.
Chirakis: @ Brubaker> It's much better if you taste it first. I'm sure you will be amazed. I did have a few things on the shuttle that spiced it up. ::smiles::
Theobald Dumont: ::isolates the object fully and begins to map where spikes in the gravity show up::
Alexis McFarland: @Not that bad.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # These are Federation tricorders and a mostly Rihan shuttle, so things would need altered for it to make a difference.. We have a working power source, it's just cut off for our safety
Tarisa: @ Miana> ::Slowly takes a bite.::
Johnson Kenyon: # Well, Chief, I'm not sure I know how or when to restore power... Is there anyway we could either anchor ourselves so we don't drift into a planet or put out a warning buoy for others
Chirakis: ::begins a slow pace toward the science console, hoping against hope that they have made progress::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: A Fourier series might predict where the wave originated in the nebula.
Theobald Dumont: ::Chirakis:: Are you the CSEC by any chance?
Chirakis: ::turns to Dumont:: I am.
Tarisa: # It is possible that if we restore power we may get hit again with whatever that was.
Tae'Lynn Dran: Okay, let's give it a try. I'm not getting anywhere this my scans.
Theobald Dumont: ::Chirakis:: I'm glad to finally meet you sir. I think we've got some promising leads here.
Tarisa: @ Miana> :;Decides she likes it, so begins eating more.::
Alexis McFarland: @ ::eating the porridge::
Chirakis: :::nods to Dumont, then looks to Dran, only somewhat hopeful:::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Nods :: I don't think we caused the wave that made our ships lock up, but I don't want to risk breaking containment. Good news is you'd not have enough time to worry about feeling its effects.
Johnson Kenyon: # True, but it's also possible that we'll get hit either way... I wonder if we can restore some small portion of power from which to function... basic shields, thrusters and such.
Jylliene: ::ponders::
Alexis McFarland: @Are you gonna eat too, Annisha? ::looks over at her::
Tae'Lynn Dran: I hope we find a planet soon. Longer it takes, less likely there's even one there and then that means even less likely the ship could find a safe place.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Makes a popping motion with his hands :::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::looking at the Rihan in disgust::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: Shadows upon shadows, I still think we need to give them some light.
Annisha: @ I may as well... My head feels funny... are au all sleepy?
Tarisa: # ::Curious glance at Nijil.::
Johnson Kenyon: # If we didn't cause the problem... shouldn't we turn on power and get out of here?
Alexis McFarland: @Not too sleepy. ::Looks outside:: It's still light out.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Just because we did not cause it does not mean it has effects.
Johnson Kenyon: # from what little we know, it seems to be a gravimetric field... at least that's what we came here to investigate in part, right?
Alexis McFarland: @ ::still eating her porridge::
Theobald Dumont: ::buries his head and continues his work::
Chirakis: @ Brubaker> ::sits on the ground, cross-legged:: Did you enjoy the aurora borealis we had last evening? Sometimes it is magnificent, and sometimes not so much. ::sips his porridge::
Tae'Lynn Dran: We just need to find the right light.
Tarisa: # ::Nods.::
Alexis McFarland: @Yesh, it does look nice.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Gets a ping :: Something from the Warren...
Scott Coleridge: ::keeping an eye on science, pondering when this small mystery turned into a fraught away mission::
Theobald Dumont: Indeed ::racks his brain::
Chirakis: ::she moves on, hoping that they find something soon:::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::interested in knowing how the Warren is communicating with us::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: & Gila> The range may not be enough
Fletcher Jackson: :::inventory lists, requisitions, a whole lot of other things that are so boring but gotta be done:::
Johnson Kenyon: # Out of curiosity, can we launch a probe manually from this ship?
Chirakis: ::and wondering where her bondmate is when she needs him:::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Points his tricorder out the window :: The Warren is sending out a high energy radio pulse. They are... 20 light minutes away.
Theobald Dumont: This nebula is quite large, but because it is rather well organized it will be easier to map and the new Dahlem sensors will be of great assistance Dran sir.
Johnson Kenyon: # From their tricorder?
mimipavilion: ::steps out of her office and looks for Dacia::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: nods :: We should be able. We need to offload the probe from the torpedo tube and restart it. :: starts to go to the aft section of the Nei'rrh ::
Annisha: @ Can au help me up?
Johnson Kenyon: # ::follows Nijil::
Alexis McFarland: @Mm. ::hobbles over to Annisha, favouring her injured leg::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Meanwhile, back on Aegis Cayne reports his latest scans. :: Both the Warren and Nei'rrh went offline at nearly the same moment.
Tarisa: # ::Watches them leave, then she looks out the window.::
Chirakis: ::takes a deep, cleansing breath and moves on:::
Dacia Sandero: ::working in Sickbay::
mimipavilion: ::finds Dacia and walks up to her:: Hey I'm going to the the CnC::
Theobald Dumont: ::plotting points where the gravity curves downward::
Alexis McFarland: @ ::Helps up Annisha::
Dacia Sandero: ::looks up:: Sure thing.
Tarisa: @ Miana> ::Helps too.::
Chirakis: ::turns to Cayne:: The same moment?
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Tarisa, au have the con.
Jylliene: ::sighs slightly as she goes back and forth between the routine, and glances to the displays with the last known info on the various ships now involved::
mimipavilion: ::nods and leaves medical via the tl::
mimipavilion: ::orders the tl to the CnC::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::thinking.... for joy... Tarisa gets to control a drifting ship::
Theobald Dumont: ::Coleridge:: Commander, it seems we have narrowed it down a bit.
mimipavilion: ::arrives on the CnC a short time later::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Nods :: If a line between the two ships is perpendicular to the origins of whatever took out the ships, they would vanish from our sensors at the same time.
Chirakis: :::Cayne:: Would that give us an indication of where they might be?
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Taps a few buttons, a baby torpedo pops out of a slot ::
Dacia Sandero: ::working on things in Sickbay::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::to Nijil:: I believe we can configure the probe to accept messages from the tricorder.... serve as a communication relay and do some basic scans
Alexis McFarland: @ ::Helps usher Annisha to where they were eating::
mimipavilion: ::steps on the CnC, staying out of the way::
Tae'Lynn Dran: I'm still so confused on these readings. ::Theo:: We may be dealing with very tight orbits around some type of star we've never seen before.
Scott Coleridge: ::Theobald:: How much is "a bit"?
Alexis McFarland: @ ::Slowly sits back down:: Ugh, I shouldn't have done that... ugh, my leg.
Theobald Dumont: ::pointing to a large nest of shadows where the gravity curves deeply:: ::Dran:: Perhaps there will be another wave?
Johnson Kenyon: # ::pulls out a hyper spanner to realign the probe::
Theobald Dumont: ::Coleridge:: A concentration of shadows sir.
Tarisa: @ Miana> ::Sits on one side of Annisha to keep her up.::
Scott Coleridge: What does that give us?
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: I think I can... :: Types some ::
Alexis McFarland: @::sitting on the other side of Annisha, helping her up::
Chirakis: Action> A very weak energy wave sweeps across both ships, then dissipates. The electronics in both ships give a slight zap to whomever is close or touching metal.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Projects a line back to the possible source of the phenomenon that took out both ships ::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: ::Coleridge:: Thar she blows!
Alexis McFarland: @ ::grabs Annisha's spoon and feeds her some of the porridge:: Mm, yummy!
Johnson Kenyon: # ::watching the spark..:: ouch
Tarisa: # ::Notices the wave go past.::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Lucky for Nijil he was touching the wall at the time...wait, that was not lucky at all...and he falls to the deck ::
Tae'Lynn Dran: Narrowing the scans.
Johnson Kenyon: # That was no gravimetric wave... that was likely an ionization field discharge
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Clunk! ::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::helps Nijil up::
Chirakis: Action> The energy wave is somehow detected, though minimally, by Aegis sensors.
Theobald Dumont: Sirs, a very faint wave, another one!
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Curses all that is McFarland as he rubs his bruise ::
Fletcher Jackson: ::working hard, trying not to be distracted:::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: I do believe the enhanced sensor suite has picked up another eddy.
Tae'Lynn Dran: I think we have some type of dwarf star hiding in there. It's probably reacting to build up from the nebula and releasing micro-novas for lack of a better word.
mimipavilion: ::listening to conversation::
Scott Coleridge: Any planets?
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Sensors have detected a weak gravimetric wave in the vicinity of the plotted line.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::pokes head into the bridge compartment to see if Tarisa is okay.... notices that she is... tail is waggin'::
Tae'Lynn Dran: Planetoids maybe.
Tarisa: # ::Things running in her head as she had watched the wave.::
Johnson Kenyon: # Think... if we are in some sort of ionization field....
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Goes to reset the baby torpedo ::
Theobald Dumont: We're fishing in this nebula and we need a hook.
Chirakis: :::moves toward Mimi::: Doctor. ::she nods:::
Chirakis: ::decides to stand with her, away from the technical conversation:::
Tarisa: # The star that we can not see is reacting to the nebula.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Speaks a bit louder :: Its cause could be many things.
Johnson Kenyon: # how many of these probes do we have in case we lose one?
mimipavilion: Captain.
Alexis McFarland: @::eats her soup and feeds Annisha::
Annisha: @ :: Goes with Alexis and Miana ::
Scott Coleridge: So the Warren and Nei'rrh might have been caught up in these waves?
mimipavilion: ::softly:: Anything new?
Tae'Lynn Dran: I think so.
Annisha: @ I am a girl, not a baby.... more please.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::hears Tarisa:: Star that we cannot see?
Tarisa: # It is not a defense, but we can not determine how frequent the reactions are.
Tarisa: # :;Nods.:: More than likely a dwarf star.
Chirakis: ::deep sigh:: Not that I can tell. I am not a scientist, but it seems that they are making progress.
mimipavilion: ::nods::
Johnson Kenyon: # Aren't dwarf stars known for high gravimetric fields?
Alexis McFarland: @ Mm. The klongat is flying into the cave. ::Makes Klongat noises as she needs Annisha another spoonful of porridge::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # There is a planet not far from the station that has some unique properties.
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: If it is a gas giant, perhaps we should try and make it glow?
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Yes, if it is somewhat close to collapsing... that's not a good prospect.
Tae'Lynn Dran: I don't think a gas giant would survive in a nebula with this type of star. Anything these would have to be small or would have been reduced to something small.
Johnson Kenyon: # Honestly, I don't know whether the probe will help or harm, but if we minimize its effect, we should find out quickly without damage
Chirakis: ::turns away from the rest, closer to Mimi:: If alcohol were allowed in CnC, I would be indulging profusely.
mimipavilion: ::lowers her head and smiles:: I don't doubt it.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: If this were closer I'd launch a probe.
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: A dwarf star.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::looks at Nijil:: Aren't you the optimist? We're going to "pop"... now we're going to get caught....
Tarisa: # If there was a way to polarize the hull of the probe to prevent the waves from affecting it...
Jylliene: ((Haven't known many Romulans, have you?))
Tae'Lynn Dran: We should focus on that wave. If it affected our ships we need a way to counter it.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::Stops talking.... the anxiety is starting to get to him... assists with the probe configuration::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # The probe is reset.. we can launch it manually, but I bet if the waves passes us again it would be set adrift like we are.
Johnson Kenyon: ((actually none))
Theobald Dumont: Yes ma'am.
Kallah Ramson: ::steps out of her office::
Johnson Kenyon: # We need to somehow ground it or give it a way of eliminating the charge
Theobald Dumont: ::turns in his chair and begins to analyze the most recent wave::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Polarization? Maybe, bit it's a fifty-fifth chance au'd get it wrong.
Chirakis: ::getting a sudden thought, she moves to Cdr Coleridge::: (w) Commander... were you informed of the Dahlem's reasons for giving us a certain amount of advanced technology?
Nijil tr'Korjata: # The wavefront would either flatten or gain amplitude.
Annisha: @ I want grapes back on the station
Scott Coleridge: ::Chirakis:: No. Frankly, I was surprised by the whole thing.
Scott Coleridge: ::notices Ramson's emergence:: Captain.
Johnson Kenyon: # Polarization would be better if we knew what frequency to filter
Chirakis: As was I. However, Captain d'Ka informed me that they gave it because we would need it soon. Do you suppose this is part of what they meant?
Alexis McFarland: @ I thought we had grapes on the station. At least a dozen fruit vendors had grapes
Kallah Ramson: ::nods to scott then walks over to chirakis::
Chirakis: ::turns to Ramson:: Captain.
mimipavilion: ::notices Ramson and nods:: Captain.
Johnson Kenyon: # how many probes do we have? We could try to shoot it out of the field and use it as a relay
Chirakis: ::giving Ramson her undivided attention:::
Theobald Dumont: ::compares the sensor recordings of both waves, side-by-side on his screen::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Five
mimipavilion: ::walks over::
Kallah Ramson: I know this isn't the best time, but I've delayed enough. :::Chirakis:: in about 30 minutes the Admiralty will be reading a letter. You can expect an unhappy call shortly after.
Tarisa: # We could wait until another wave passes to get a scan with the tricorder. But we we would have to be quick so we do not break the tricorder.
Chirakis: ::ponders that::
Annisha: @ Ie, and I wish to have them fed to me...either of au will do. :: smirks ::
Kallah Ramson: Feel free to ignore them as long as you need while you resolve the ongoing search.
Johnson Kenyon: # Five is plenty for a test here or there.... but I think we should try to push one farther out of the field....
Scott Coleridge: ::makes a note to take a vacation after all this is done::
Chirakis: Of course, Captain.
Kallah Ramson: When you do talk to them they will undoubtedly have orders for you.
Alexis McFarland: @The other person can wave a giant leaf fan to keep au cool.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::hears Tarisa: I should be able to modify a tricorder to not be affected by the field::
Tarisa: @ Miana> ::Giggles::
Theobald Dumont: (w) ::Dran:: What' is going on over there?
Johnson Kenyon: # ::grabbing a tricorder and taking it apart... shielding it against energy discharges as much as possible in a short time::
Chirakis: Should we be discussing this in your office, Captain?
Kallah Ramson: As for me, my orders are that as of this moment you take command of this station. I don't think scott will mind being jumped for command.
Annisha: @ Maybe I'll throw au a cat treat... now and then.
Tae'Lynn Dran: Not sure. Just keep your head down I think.
Theobald Dumont: (w) Aye
Johnson Kenyon: # ::taking apart an isolinear spanner for parts to modify the tricorder::
mimipavilion: ::in earshot, gets an uneasy feeling::
Kallah Ramson: it is not my office now.
Chirakis: :::jaw clenched::::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Send a radio pulse back along the same frequency, to let Orrak know we are...here. :: spans his arms ::
Kallah Ramson: I will be departing with a Romulan expedition. The latest Aegean-class ship is ready to launch and I will be on it.
Chirakis: :::relaxes somewhat:::
Scott Coleridge: ::only hears his name, then "command" and begins turning a weird colour::
Chirakis: Fair winds and following seas, Captain.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::finishes with tricorder... presenting it to Tarisa and taking another:: One triocoder Ma'am
Theobald Dumont: ::notices Scott's expression, raises an eyebrow::
Jylliene: ::getting a whooooole lotta weird vibes, and isn't even telepathic::
Kallah Ramson: Thank you. And, I am sorry for what may come of all of this.
Tarisa: # ::Nods.:: Thank you. ::Sends a pulse to the Warren, then prepares for the next possible wave.::
mimipavilion: ::readjusts her posture after hearing that::
Chirakis: No apology is necessary, Captain. It is your calling.
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: (w) I didn't even get to meet her.
Chirakis: And I must admit that I am a little jealous. ::slight smile:::
Kallah Ramson: ::steps over towards Scott:: good luck. ::light kiss on his cheek ::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Pardon Captain, but we have a more precise location possibly,
Scott Coleridge: ::so quietly:: What... is happening.
Chirakis: ::turns to Cayne::: Report.
Kallah Ramson: ::Chirakis:: the station is yours. ::turns and moves quickly to the tl::
mimipavilion: ::watches Ramson leave::
Chirakis: ::turns back to Ramson:: I relieve you.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::nijil:: you want me to try and shield the probe a bit more or just send it?
Jylliene: ::watches::
Chirakis: Attention in Command and Control.
Theobald Dumont: ::AA::
Jylliene: ::@A::
mimipavilion: ::turns to Chirakis::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: stops what he was writ.,..going to say ::
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::pokes her head over the console but only barely.::
Chirakis: Commander Cayne, sound the bosun whistle. The Captain is on departure.
Theobald Dumont: ::standing already, salutes::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: *bosun*
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Dooo weeeeEE wooo ::
Chirakis: ::as Ramson leaves::: As you were.
Kallah Ramson: ::arrives at the transporter room.:: One to beam to the shipyard.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Just push it out there... :: a shoving motion ::
Johnson Kenyon: # Aye, sir.... ::manually launching probe
Theobald Dumont: ::looks around::
Johnson Kenyon: # Probe away
Chirakis: ::turns to Scott:: Are you sure you do not want this position?
Kallah Ramson: :::arrives at the transporter room:: one to beam to the shipyard
Annisha: @ :: rubs her forehead ridges :: I have a headache ::
Chirakis: I saw your expression.
Theobald Dumont: ::sits back down::
mimipavilion: ::relaxes::
Alexis McFarland: @ ::finishing up her porridge:: Mm poor Annisha.
Fletcher Jackson: ::swallows hard, then returns to duty::
Theobald Dumont: ::gets a feeling of dread::
Scott Coleridge: ::lets out the breath he had been holding:: I'm good.
Scott Coleridge: ::unclenches all the things::
Johnson Kenyon: # Do we have communication with the probe?
Chirakis: :::chuckles::
Theobald Dumont: ::gulps loudly::
mimipavilion: ::thinks "oy vey"::
Chirakis: Lt Dran, report your findings.
Tarisa: # ::Checks:: It seems so.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # For the moment... and moments are all we have...
Theobald Dumont: Bon Voyage Captain!
Johnson Kenyon: # Can we send a message to Aegis?
Johnson Kenyon: # Perhaps, Aegis, can you read?
Nijil tr'Korjata: # We can try, unless the wave goes again
Johnson Kenyon: # Your call, sir
Tae'Lynn Dran: We are dealing with a dwarf star giving off disruptional subspace waves. We need to find a counter for those.

Chirakis: 1/25/19
Chirakis: Thank you.
Scott Coleridge: That was a close one
Chirakis: First, a thank you to Captain Ramson for stepping up as commanding officer when she was needed.
Chirakis: Indeed it was.
Chirakis: And as I mentioned, Fair winds and following seas to her. I look forward to the time when she returns with a lot of information.
Chirakis: TBS will be 15 minutes.
Chirakis: Captain Ramson, words for the crew?
Kallah Ramson: yes.
Kallah Ramson: Just want to say I've loved leading this sim in whatever way I could. just more than a few things lead to need to step down. But I don't think I could ever completely leave. If my slip up didn't give it away I am also Dran and will continue playing there.
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::Ramson:: You ratted me out. Humph! ::pouts::
Kallah Ramson: I hope that new position gives me a fresh start while also allowing the free time needed in real life.
Kallah Ramson: thank you all. 
Dacia Sandero: Thanks for leading us
Nijil tr'Korjata: Yes, thanks
Johnson Kenyon: glad you're sticking around still
Chirakis: Thank you for your dedication to the sim, Captain.
Chirakis: And thank you for staying with us.
Chirakis: Commander Coleridge, any words for the crew?
Scott Coleridge: Only that I am very... relieved.
Chirakis: ::chuckle:::
Chirakis: Crew, questions or comments?
Jylliene: Narrowly avoided a medical situation there.
Chirakis: Indeed.
mimipavilion: Uh... yeah.
Chirakis: Anyone who must, or would like to leave may certainly leave.
Chirakis: Crew dismissed. Be well. Be Safe. Don’t forget your towel.
