[Chirakis 1]

=/\= Aegis Mission Brief 2/8/19 - 10:05 PM=/\=
6 May 2388 - Stardate 2388.127

TBS is zero. The time is 1715 hours (5:15 PM) Aegis local.
Science is questioning the nature of the nebula after detecting what appears to be a solar prominence.
Communication between the ships and Aegis has been established.
On the planetoid, Argos II is spaceworthy. Everyone is returning to the ship.
Nei'rrh and Warren are connected just outside the planetoid's gravity well.
A threatening series of electromagnetic waves is sweeping toward the planetoid.
@ for Argos II and the planet.
# for Nei'rrh.
& for Shuttle Warren.

Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: I do believe the prominence might put our people in danger.
Tarisa: @ Y'shta> ::Carrying Annisha by piggyback.::
Chirakis: ::CnC, watching and waiting:::
Scott Coleridge: ::reviewing sensor data, wondering if there's anything they've missed::
Annisha: @ :: cheers :: This is how to do it.
Alexis McFarland: @::slowly limping her way back to the ship, leaning on Miana or Brubaker (whomever was on her left side), ditched her crutch some time ago as her arm was getting worse::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: The Nei'rrh is right on top of the Warren ::
Tarisa: # ::Keeping an eye on sensors.::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::finishing hot chocolate to calm down::
Chirakis: ::listening to all reports, especially the conversation in science:::
Theobald Dumont: ::pulling up the astronomical catalogue, the really big one at science station II::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: & Gila> :: Looks up, as if that would make a difference :: +Nei'rrh+ Glad you could make it. Our drive is still offline and we don't have enough power for a tractor beam.
Jylliene: ::watching the displays::
Annisha: @ :: Looks as they make their way to the Argos :: We sure are in a hurry.
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: The solar prominence could bubble up far enough to irradiate some of the planetoids.
Chirakis: Commander Kital, inform the ships to keep an open com.
Alexis McFarland: @I Wish I could keep up.
Tarisa: @ Miana> Bad things are happening...
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Parking the Nei'rrh on top of the Warren :: Tarisa, extend the shields to encompass the Warren.
Jylliene: Yes ma'am
Tae'Lynn Dran: That seems possible.
Tarisa: # Already done.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # +Warren+ We believe we have shielding that can protect while au are vulnerable.
Jylliene: +Nei'rrh, Warren+ Aegis Operations. Please keep channel open.
Chirakis: @ Brubaker> :::jogs toward the rest of the group, Whippet leading the way::: Commander! Commander! We must hurry.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: & Gila> +Nei'rrh+ Copy that SubCommander.
Tae'Lynn Dran: To what extent is what we need to figure out. What's the risk to our ships.
Tarisa: @ Miana> :;Helping Alexis::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Turns back :: What is our field strength now with the extension?
Theobald Dumont: ::thumbing through the catalogue::
Chirakis: (remember that the Argos crew is helping the children)
Tarisa: # Reduced, but still stable.
Alexis McFarland: @Mmm.
Annisha: @ :: Looks out for the ship ::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::takes a few deep breaths... decides that Nijil isn't doing this on purpose - just a personality quirk::
Annisha: @ Kushana> +Argos+ We are approaching. Are the transporters online?
Johnson Kenyon: # ::returns the cup to the food replicator and recycles it::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: I think we might be dealing with a "planetary nebula" sir.
Jylliene: ::listening to the com and watching the displays::
Chirakis: @ Brubaker> ::Commander Kushana, as he approaches her:: Commander, we must hurry and leave the planet. ::points toward the sky and Whippet barks:::
Annisha: @ Argos Officer> Na, not for some time.
Alexis McFarland: @ ::Looks up at the sky::
Tarisa: @ Miana> Bad things!
Johnson Kenyon: # ::walking to the bridge of the little ship::
Tarisa: @ Y'shta> ::Picks up her pace.::
Alexis McFarland: @ It doesn't look good. ::Winces::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: turns :: Ah Mr. Kenyon. I trust the engines are holding up?
Tae'Lynn Dran: Also possible. But let's focus on the damage that stellar eruption might pose first.
Annisha: @ :: Looks up at the sky :: I have a bad feeling about this...
Johnson Kenyon: # ::takes a seat and pulls up the engine specs from the navigator's position::
Johnson Kenyon: # Well, we didn't blow up... that's a good sign.
Theobald Dumont: The solar prominence could burn off the atmosphere of any planetoid fully enveloped.
Chirakis: ACTION> Nei'rrh and Warren notice the electromagnetic waves pulsing through the area.
Johnson Kenyon: # Not this again.
Tarisa: # ::Starting to notice a spike on sensors.:: +Aegis+ Are you reading the spikes in the waves?
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Notices a panic-sounding beep :: The probe.
Chirakis: ::looks up to the sensor array display::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::turns to Nijil:: You think the probe caused this?
Jylliene: ::glances at science::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Looks at the indicator ::  The probe encountered a EM wave propagating from the nebula. We have incoming..
Nijil tr'Korjata: # I don't believe so if au compare the strength of the wave to that of the probe.
Johnson Kenyon: # I see. ::looking for a place to brace:: Should I reinforce the shields?
Chirakis: ::approaches Scott:: Commander, explain what we are seeing on the display.
Tarisa: # There are numerous waves. ::Looks to Nijil.:: We should transfer the Warren crew over. I am unsure if the shields can hold while extended.
Annisha: @ :: Sees the tip of the Argos nacelles :: Thar she blow?
mimipavilion: ::watches what's going on::
Johnson Kenyon: # We don't have a lot of time
Scott Coleridge: It looks like the star...or whatever it is… generates a massive EM wave at irregular intervals.
Johnson Kenyon: # +WARREN+ Prepare to beam over.... we have a big one about to hit.
Tae'Lynn Dran: Oh this doesn't look good.
Fletcher Jackson: ::distracted by what he's hearing:::
Annisha: @ Kushana> The human expression is blows... bah, hurry.. +Argos+ Open the starboard door.
Scott Coleridge: If the Argos were caught in such a wave...
Chirakis: (w) Kahless...
Tarisa: @ Miana> ::Jumps in with Alexis.::
Alexis McFarland: @ ::hobbles inside the ship::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: & Gila> +Nei'rrh+ Shields not working?
Tarisa: @ Y'shta> ::also making it in with Annisha, and places her somewhere safe.::
Tae'Lynn Dran: The only advantage is the thick gas of the nebula will dissipate the wave quicker.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::Tarisa:: You may want to put the probe on active transmission in case it fails.
Chirakis: ::looks to Dran:::
Tarisa: # ::Activates.::
Annisha: @ Kushana> :: Enters :: Get them to safety in the ship. I have to go to the bridge .
Johnson Kenyon: # +WARREN+ Our extended shields may not be enough... you need to beam over.
Chirakis: And if the waves continue to come?
Tae'Lynn Dran: If any ship can stay ahead or even use the wave of nebula gas for a lift they can stay clear of danger.
Chirakis: ::looks up at the graph that is onscreen:::
Johnson Kenyon: # I'm attempting to establish a lock on the WARREN crew.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: & Gila> :: Turns to the team :: Grab your gear, we are bugging out. +Nei'rrh+ How long do we have?
Jylliene: ::fingers tapping on the console::
Chirakis: ::Dran:: And if they are caught in the wave?
Johnson Kenyon: # +WARREN+ I'd say minutes.
Annisha: @ Kushana> :: enters the bridge :: Get us out of here.
Tae'Lynn Dran: Maybe setting the charge of their shielding opposite the wave will push them ahead.
mimipavilion: ::heads over to the others, but staying back::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: & Gila> +Nei'rrh+ We are ready.
Alexis McFarland: @ ::heads into their room probably, is carried in by a crew member::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::starts beaming the WARREN CREW::
Tae'Lynn Dran: That's assuming they have shields. Anything unprotected won't survive. I'm sorry.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: & Gila> :: She and her team of four beam over, she holding something of the Warren ::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: Do you mean polarize the shields and hull?
Tarisa: # ::Once they are all beamed on board, she restores the shields to normal.::
mimipavilion: ::hears Tae'Lynn, becoming concerned::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::to Nijil:: It might be better if we try to ride out the wave, rather than oppose it... the Warren crew are onboard.
Chirakis: ::mutters something about the task force being unavailable:::
Annisha: @ :: The Argos starts to lift off the planet, seeming to struggle to rise ::
Tarisa: @ Miana> ::Grabbing on tight to the seat she was secured in.::
Scott Coleridge: ::Dran:: Any indications on what initiates the waves yet?
Alexis McFarland: @ ::grips her seat with her one good arm::
Tae'Lynn Dran: No sir.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Moving off from the Warren. :: Sees Gila coming to the bridge ::
Jylliene: ::taptaptaptaptap::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::looking at Nijil, then to Tarisa:: Anything from the probe on the source of that transmission?
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Cayne :: The Nei'rrh is moving off, albeit slowly..
Theobald Dumont: ::calculates the charge of the last 3 waves::
Chirakis: ACTION> As soon as the Warren is released, it is pulled into the planetoid's gravity well.
Tae'Lynn Dran: We have very little data but the waves do seem to be more frequent and growing in size since our search teams arrived.
Johnson Kenyon: # We're losing the WARREN.
Annisha: @ Kushana> +Argos+ This will be a bumpy ride. (Think Knight Bus)
Tarisa: # ::Perks up.:: I am detecting something from the planetoid. It is another ship. I believe it is the Argos.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::turns around and notices Gila:: This might be a bumpy ride.
Johnson Kenyon: # The ARGOS!
Annisha: @ Kushana> One we break the atmosphere set a course of 240 mark 59.
Tarisa: # They are struggling to lift off.
Alexis McFarland: @ ::Looks out of the window::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: I think a positive charge of +2.5 will do the trick.
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::Theo:: I hope there's a pattern to the wave charge. It will take a few moments to oppositely charge their shields.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Ships can be replaced..
Johnson Kenyon: # ::looking at Nijil:: Should we go after them? ::to Tarisa:: Can we beat the incoming waves?
Scott Coleridge: Since? Is it possible our ships are doing something that triggers the waves? Some kind of emissions?
Jylliene: ((Sure, say that about the Warren, but if it were the Nei'rrh, you'd be singing a different tune))
Tarisa: # +Argos+ Nei'rrh to Argo, come in. If you shields are working, set them to the following frequency. ::Sends info.::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: The engines of the Nei'rrh are not able to form a warp field ::
Tae'Lynn Dran: If you're sure. This is getting out of my specialty.
Johnson Kenyon: # Damn. The Warp engines are unable to form a field
Chirakis: ::turns at the sound of Tarisa's com with Argos::
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::looking over the data::
Theobald Dumont: I recommend polarity of +2.5 both shields and hull.
Nijil tr'Korjata: +Aegis+ A wave is approaching at a speed faster than we can escape it. The Nei'rrh is unable to form a warp field.
Tae'Lynn Dran: Commander ::Coleridge:: We have the polarity they need to set their shields and hull plating.
Tarisa: # ::Hearing Theo over the open comm. Sets the hull polarity to match.::
Chirakis: Then they must get as far away as possible without warp.
Annisha: @ Bridge Officer> A Romulan shuttle is at impulse along our course.
Tae'Lynn Dran: And yes, our ships may be influencing the fields in the area somehow.
Tarisa: # ::To Nijil.:: Turn the ship to these coordinates.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::checking on the engines from the console::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # +Aegis+ If this does not work out, tell my bondmate to take care of Annisha.
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: The subspace distortion waves could be reflecting from the ships' engines.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::looks at Nijil and shakes head...::
Tarisa: # You might want to strap in...
Annisha: @ Kushana> We need to get ahead of this wave... damn...
Chirakis: +Nijil+ We have an open com, SubCommander. She knows.
Johnson Kenyon: # Brace for incoming wave.
Chirakis: ::turns to Jylliene:: If you wish to be relieved, you may be.
Nijil tr'Korjata: +Aegis+ Understood.
Tarisa: # ::Secures self.::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: They mustn't go to warp.
Jylliene: ::shakes head::
mimipavilion: ::walks over to Chirakis, softly:: Maybe sending the Aegean would be a good idea.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # This wave is going at the speed of light and we are only going at full impulse.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::bracing himself::
Jylliene: I'm staying put.
Tae'Lynn Dran: I don't think they could even if they tried.
Chirakis: ::understanding, she leans close:: It is a two day journey. They haven't the time.
Jylliene: ::quietly:: If this doesn't work, I don't think Annisha would be around to take care of.
mimipavilion: ::nods::
Annisha: @ Kushana> :: Thinks of the kids and her crew ::
Tae'Lynn Dran: Make sure all of this is getting relayed to Commander Tarisa.
Johnson Kenyon: ((I'm not sure how close the speed of light impulse is))
Theobald Dumont: Aye ma'am
Nijil tr'Korjata: (Full impulse is about .25 of light)
Theobald Dumont: ::taps console sending Tarisa's computer the telemetry::
Chirakis: ::steps closer, speaking quietly:: Do you wish to be relieved?
Jylliene: ::fingers still drumming on the console::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # We have lowered our profile relative to the waves direction. :: shows a screen with a tiny green Romulan shuttle and an approaching red wave ::
Jylliene: No, thank you, ma'am. I mean, what in the elements would I do relieved?
Theobald Dumont: +Tarisa+ Commander, please check my calculations.
Jylliene: Pace elsewhere?
Fletcher Jackson: ::glance to the captain and the commander::
Jylliene: ::shrugs to Chirakis::
Jylliene: ::returns attention to the displays, waits::
Tarisa: # +Theo+ I already have, Ensign, and have adjusted accordingly. Thank you.
Chirakis: ::nods:: Understood.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Ahead of the wave the subspace communications are starting to fail ::
Theobald Dumont: +Tarisa+ You're welcome... good luck...
mimipavilion: ::wonders if there are any other ships in the area::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::Tarisa:: Has the Argos cleared the planetary gravitational field?
Nijil tr'Korjata: # +Aegis+ The w v s creat ng subsp dist . I don't kn ho l g r...
Jylliene: ((This is totally like Apollo 13 beginning reentry))
Annisha: @ :: The Argos is priming their warp engines as they travel at high impulse ::
Chirakis: +Nei'rrh+ You WILL succeed, SubCommander.
Theobald Dumont: ::head is spinning::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::tapping console:: Shields holding, impulse engines holding
Jylliene: ::is going to need some Romulan ale after this::
Annisha: @ Kushana> Alter course to intercept with the shuttle. Push the impulse engines past their maximum!
Alexis McFarland: @ ::holding on to one of the armrests::
Annisha: @ Bridge Officer> But... :: sees her look :: Aye
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: The comm is silent ::
Theobald Dumont: (w) Dran:: 4 ships, waves, gravity wells, stellar flares I can hardly keep track.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # The wave is three minutes away... sensors are... unreliable.
Tarisa: # Yes, they have.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Cayne> The Nei'rrh does not have enough momentum. The wave will intercept in less than three minutes.
Tae'Lynn Dran: I know. ::thinking she just wants to study trees and flowers, maybe the occasional carnivorous mushroom. That's all::
Johnson Kenyon: # :::attempting to get the warp engines going again::
Chirakis: * Kelley> Aegis, Captain Kelley USS Iowa. We have been monitoring your situation. Say the word and we will intercept.
Annisha: @ :: Her hair all messed up, she is strapped in, knowing if something hits it is often not enough ::
Theobald Dumont: ::tasks himself with preparing for a summary report::
mimipavilion: ::hears the com::
Tarisa: @ Miana>  ::Gritting her teeth.::
Annisha: @ :: The Argos shakes violently as she pushes .30 of light speed ::
Alexis McFarland: @ ::Shakes about in her seat::
Jylliene: ::looks at Chirakis::
Chirakis: +Kelley+ Chirakis. Definitely. How close are you?
Annisha: @ Kushana> Two minutes to intercept... push it further….
mimipavilion: ::also looks at Chirakis::
Johnson Kenyon: # The ARGOS is pushing their engines, but she's about to get hit.
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::Theo:: Add another ship to your calculations.
Chirakis: ::Nods to Jylliene:: Send them coordinates.
Tarisa: # As are we.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: # Gila> :: Feeling sick to her stomach ::
Chirakis: * +Kelley+ Aegis, five minutes out at max warp. Closing in.
Theobald Dumont: ::pulls up each wave screen, saves the data, pulls up the solar prominence measurement, saves the data, pulls up the gaseous chromatography results, saves the data::
Annisha: @ Kushana> Drop the forward cargo container with the arm... prepare it for another piece of cargo...
Jylliene: ::sends::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::Tarisa:: Has the probe been hit yet?
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: Another one! I hope it's a dreadnought. ::smiles::
Jylliene: +Iowa+ Iowa, Aegis. Coordinates sent.
Tarisa: # The probe is gone.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Two minutes :: Somberly::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::to Nijil:: I guess we get to see if the shields will hold, huh
Chirakis: +Iowa+ Be advised. One freighter, one Romulan shuttle. EM waves in the area.
Annisha: @ :: Argos sends the cargo container away with its arm.. it gets tossed behind the ship... then hits something in the distance ::
Chirakis: * Kelley> +Aegis+ Copy.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::tapping console to try and start the warp engines::
Tarisa: # 30 seconds...
Tarisa: # Brace!
Nijil tr'Korjata: # Something is approaching... the wave could be ahead of projections.
Chirakis: ::Jylliene:: Any communication at all with Argos or Nei'rrh?
Johnson Kenyon: # ::Bracing::
Jylliene: None.
Theobald Dumont: ::notices something flashing on his console:: +Tarisa+ Did we lose the probe?
Annisha: @ Kushana> Full stop in 15 seconds...
Chirakis: * Kelley> ::continual call to Argos and Nei'rrh:::
Annisha: @ Kushana> Wait, match their speed.... almost there.
Jylliene: I'm not terribly surprised, given the expected interference with the wave.
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Getting something on comms but garbled ::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::notices some static from the COMM::
Chirakis: * Kelly> +ships+ USS Iowa, USS Kole headed your way. Arrive in two. How copy?
Annisha: @ Kushana> I'll operate the arm myself, put us on top of her.
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: We've lost the data relay from the probe.
Nijil tr'Korjata: It's right on top of us! :: sensors show something right on... suddenly the Nei'rrh shakes in an unexpected way, more than a wave hitting aft ::
Chirakis: * Kelley> +Kole+ Be ready to drop, grab, and run. You take Nei'rrh. We have Argos. Alert all medical.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::loses his brace to press the COMM:: +IOWA+ br c ng
Chirakis: * Kelley> ::receives reply::
Tae'Lynn Dran: Interference, destruction, or taken down by the same thing that disabled the ships?
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: People are jostled out of their seats, some fall to the deck ::
Annisha: @ Kushana> Got her... :: turns to her officer :: Punch it, maximum warp!
Johnson Kenyon: # ::knocked out of seat... regretting trying to return the IOWA's call::
Chirakis: * Kelly> +Kole+ Dropping from warp in three... two... one... Mark!
Johnson Kenyon: # ::gripping seat::
Theobald Dumont: Let me check the recording log.
Tarisa: # ::Manages to stay in hers::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Falls out of his seat :: Something... :: now holding said seat :: Grabbed us?
Alexis McFarland: @ ::glad someone strapped her in before they took off::
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: The Nei'rrh appears to go to warp ::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: Total power failure when the last wave hit.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::mouthing... .how can you notice anything::
Annisha: @ :: The wave licks the aft section of the Argos...and her catch. ::
Chirakis: * Kelley> ::Iowa drops from warp:: +Nei'rrh, Argos+ USS Iowa. Hang on, we're going to pull you in. ::turns:: Engage tractor beam.
Tae'Lynn Dran: Let me see it's last readings.
Johnson Kenyon: # ::hearing the IOWA on the COMM:: attempting to retake seat::
Theobald Dumont: ::transfers the data stream to science station i::
Annisha: @ Kushana> +Iowa+ Could use a tow.. our engines are faltering...
Tarisa: # ::Sighs at the sight of a much larger Federation ship.::
Tarisa: # +Iowa+ Thank you.
Chirakis: * Kelley> +Argos+ Understood. +Kole+ Open the hatch and tractor Argos, then get the hell out.
Tae'Lynn Dran: :::looking data over::
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Goes to one of the windows :: An arm has us... Argos? :: Goes back to the bridge ::
Chirakis: * Kelley> +Argos+ Prepare for a big jolt. Tractoring you in.
Theobald Dumont: ::writing up the star/nebula::
Jylliene: ::taptaptaptaptaptap::
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::looks up to see if the doctor is on the CnC::
Chirakis: (two minutes)
mimipavilion: ::still on the CnC::
Annisha: @ Kushana> Understood. :: nods to her crew ::
Tae'Lynn Dran: Doctor Pavilion? Can you come here.
Chirakis: Action> Both ships are tractored in.
Jylliene: ::breathing slightly easier knowing the Iowa is out there, but still won't relax until all are confirmed out of danger::
Theobald Dumont: ::Dran:: That's the best part of serving on a starbase, the big guns are usually nearby.
mimipavilion: ::walks over to Dran:: Yes?
Johnson Kenyon: # ::looks around the ship and gives a sigh of relief::
Chirakis: *Kelley> +USS Kole+ As soon as they're secure, punch it! Max warp.
Tae'Lynn Dran: This is the readings from our probe. See these radiation patterns. I thought you might want to know and prepare screenings for when the crews return. ::frowns slightly::
Chirakis: * Kelley> ::helm:: Punch it! Max warp!
Nijil tr'Korjata: # :: Sits in his seat :: I think the Argos grabbed us with one of their arms, then something grabbed the Argos. Full power to structural integrity.
Chirakis: * Kelley> Inform medical of incoming.
Tarisa: # ::Nods.:: The USS Iowa.
Alexis McFarland: @ ::Looks at the strange blue light that surrounded the ship::
Johnson Kenyon: # ::looks at Nijil:: I couldn't see anything those last few moments... I fell behind my seat.
Theobald Dumont: ::rests for a moment looking out the viewscreen for the "big" ships::
Tarisa: @ Miana> Safe...
Chirakis: * Kelley> +Aegis+ Mission accomplished. Will inform on crew status asap. Going dark.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: # Gila> :: How having turned green, she spoke up :: Commander, I-I am sorry. I made a mess.
mimipavilion: ::looks at the readings:: Understood. I'm sure the ships will begin treatments asap.
Jylliene: ::Exhales::

Chirakis: =/\==/\=PAUSE SIM=/\==/\=
Chirakis: 2/8/19
Chirakis: Thank you.
Chirakis: So, I can safely say that the ships will arrive within two days.
Johnson Kenyon: ((very exciting))
Alexis McFarland: Yay
Chirakis: I'm putting TBS at one day. That will give the Argos and Nei'rrh crews time to relax, maybe write a log or two?
Chirakis: Or three? Or four?
Johnson Kenyon: or catch up on sleep
Nijil tr'Korjata: Writing.. sure 
Chirakis: Or that.
Alexis McFarland: lmm
Chirakis: Commander, thoughts?
Scott Coleridge: Nope
Chirakis: Crew... any thoughts regarding the TBS, questions, or otherwise?
Jylliene: Question
Chirakis: Go
Jylliene: Iowa said they were going dark - will that carry on throughout their return?
Jylliene: Will we be able to assume communication during the TBS
Johnson Kenyon: What class is the Iowa?
Chirakis: Going dark means they will not have communication unless absolutely needed.
Jylliene: And they're staying with that throughout their return?
Jylliene: Just wondering for logginess.
Chirakis: When they are out of their area, their SOP is to fly dark.
Jylliene: Gotcha.
Nijil tr'Korjata: Nijil knows how to do things.
Johnson Kenyon: change diapers?Chirakis: Iowa is a modified Akira class, same as Missouri.
Johnson Kenyon: modified Akira class, gotcha.
Chirakis: Other questions? Comments?
Theobald Dumont: thanks for making it so much fun.
Johnson Kenyon: it was at that
Chirakis: I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Chirakis: I will be around for talk, questions, whatever, for a while.
Chirakis: Otherwise...
Chirakis: Crew dismissed. Be well. Be Safe. Don’t forget your towel.
