Manticore is ordered to sector 821 just within the Federations
deep space territory. Upon arrival they found a Starbase
destroyed by a ship gone rogue. Suddenly Manticore seemingly
went "rogue" herself. She severely damaged the USS Bauer then
chased after the fleeing USS Ethan Carter. Soon the engineering
team successfully shut down the computer core thus ending the
ship's brief automated tirade. With all systems functioning
Manticore returned to her previous coordinates where scans
indicated a third warp trail leaving the area.

Callista Tyrel: Hello Commander! ::waves::
Kansas Kenickie: Morning
McFly: yo
Callista Tyrel: Hello Captain.
Kansas Kenickie: Morning
Kansas Kenickie: my cat caught my cold!!
Callista Tyrel: Your cat is like...sneezing?
Kansas Kenickie: yes and the vet said some colds cat's can get from you
Callista Tyrel: eh. Did you sneeze on your Cat?
McFly: Sure it's not just allergies?
Kansas Kenickie: maybe? no clue. but she sleeps with me
Kansas Kenickie: We don't have allergies,
Keb: howdie
Callista Tyrel: Kitteh probably is not happy.
Callista Tyrel: Hi Keb ::waves::
Kansas Kenickie: the Orange one sleeps with me more, he should be sick
McFly: What up Keb
BrenFaliver: And hello to you two
McFly: Yo
Callista Tyrel: Orange Cat is not Garfield..or Bill the Cat?
Erich Jaenke: That Cardi will arrive soon...
Callista Tyrel: Hello Chief!
Kansas Kenickie: Watson, my Orange cat
McFly: And there's Erich
Kansas Kenickie: he sits on command
McFly: And Saliq is back. Guess he likes us.
Callista Tyrel: So your kitty is not fat ..and not hacking up furballs like Bill.
Saliq: Good evening.
Kansas Kenickie: nope
Gila Orrak: Is that... great...
Callista Tyrel: Hello GIla..::waves::
Gila Orrak: :: grunts ::
Kansas Kenickie: Moring Gila
Kansas Kenickie: *Morning
McFly: Well no Vil or Jack but they have a whole hour to show up.
McFly: So let's start this mutha

Callista Tyrel: :: making repairs in sickbay ::
Erich Jaenke: :: Down in main engineering ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Frowns at the TAC console::
Keb: ::looking for the black box still, trying to puzzle out everything that happened before::
McFly: CaptMason> Can you hail the Bauer?
McFly: OpsGuy> Trying, no response. They're in really bad shape.
Gila Orrak: :: Reporting to Bren, wherever he is ::
Callista Tyrel: + Erich Jaenke + Chief. Ensign Tyrel here. I think I found out the cause for the emergency computer failure in sickbay. Some Optical Data Cables appear to have failed. I have replaced them.
McFly: +Jaenke+ Chief, the Bauer is in bad shape. Take a team over and see if you can do anything to help. They're not responding to hails so I'm sure their coms are down.
Erich Jaenke: +McFly+ Alright, on my way.
Gila Orrak: Computer, where is... oh what is his name... :: checks :: Bren Flavor?
Keb: ::sees a faint blip on her sensors and increases the strength of the sensor in that region::
BrenFaliver: ::Is sitting in the main Science lab, running reports::
Callista Tyrel: :: closes her repair kit and exits sickbay to return to engineering :: + Chief Erich Jaenke + I guess I will return to main engineering.
Erich Jaenke: +Tyrel+ That's good news.. how about another assignment on another vessel?
Keb: ::eyes widen with excitement:: Captain, I think I've found the black box! I've got a set of coordinates.
McFly: Excellent! beam it to the cargo bay.
Kansas Kenickie: ::grabs her coffee and walks away from TAC:: the search is over
Kansas Kenickie: nice find Keb
Callista Tyrel: + Jaenke + Uh Sure Chief. Do I need anything in particular?
Erich Jaenke: :: Grabs a kit and heads to transporter room 2 ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Smiles:: a non-black/black box
Erich Jaenke: +Tyrel+ Just a kit.
McFly: +Bren+ Chief, Keb found the black box from the starbase. I need you to go over their data and try to find a connection to what happened with the Sumadi. Maybe cross reference with the Bauer data we received earlier.
Callista Tyrel: :: walks towards engineering equipment locker :: + Jaenke + Aye Chief be there in a minute..
Gila Orrak: :: After arguing with the computer Gila discovers where Bren has been hiding. She closes in on his location and....hits the chime ::
Callista Tyrel: :: enters TR Room with her engineering kit ::
Erich Jaenke: :: Enters the transporter room ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Smirks at McFly:: I should go look at that box, incase there is a surprises inside
Gila Orrak: :: Just enters the science lab :: Bren Flavor?
BrenFaliver: +McFly+ Ok, where is the data?
BrenFaliver: ::Looks at Gila:: Sorry. Mr. Flavor is currently off duty, may I take a message?
Gila Orrak: You are Bren...Commander is it?
Callista Tyrel: :: spots the Chief :: What is the situation Chief? :: briefly adjusts her ponytail ::
Gila Orrak: I was looking for a Petty Officer, but you will do.
McFly: +Bren+ Keb will have beamed it to the cargo bay.
Kansas Kenickie: ((Flavor Flav works here?!))
Keb: ::makes sure the box is beamed up as ordered:: It'll be in the cargo bay, Captain.
McFly: ::to KK:: It's a federation box, I doubt it's booby trapped.
BrenFaliver: I am Bren, yes, what can I do for you....?
Callista Tyrel: :: stands on transporter Pad ::
Erich Jaenke: :: Looks at the transporter operator, then Tyrel :: Ready?
Kansas Kenickie: True but Bren has weak hands, hw can't get that thing open
Callista Tyrel: Yes. Where are we heading?
McFly: Keb, that warp trail. Are you sure it is what you think it is?
Gila Orrak: I am a new science officer, part of an exchange program between Starfleet and my people.
McFly: ::KK:: I figured he'd just scan it but if you want to go pry it open be my guest.
Erich Jaenke: The Bauer... :: looks at the operator :: Energize...
Callista Tyrel: Oh.
Keb: ::looks back at McFly:: I'm not sure of much after everything that's just happened--but it's pretty clearly a warp trail, and it wasn't ours.
Erich Jaenke: :: Jaenke and Tyrel materialize on the Bauer ::
Kansas Kenickie: yippee ::little bounce in her step:: I will be in the cargo bay!
BrenFaliver: Oh, lovely, may I ask your name? What is your specialty?
Callista Tyrel: :: looks around :: And my first away mission begins.
Gila Orrak: Gila Orrak... Botany mostly, some materials science.
Erich Jaenke: :: Notices the lights are out :: This looks familiar. :: gets out his scanner ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Steps onto the lift:: +Faliver+ are you heading to the Cargo bay or transporting the box to you?
BrenFaliver: +KK+ I can head there. I'll bring a big hammer for the box.
Gila Orrak: Boxes?
McFly: Doesn't make sense, there were no other ships in the area.
Kansas Kenickie: +Faliver+ I will meet you there
Callista Tyrel: # ::activates Palm Light :: Did the Bauer have the same computer problem? :: follows Chief ::
McFly: ::looks at Mason:: Were there any other ships besides you and EC?
Erich Jaenke: ($ Bauer)
BrenFaliver: Sorry Gila, er... do you have a rank? Or a courtesy rank? I need to step away from the lab for a little while. Please, look around. The animal cages are to the left, astrophysics is behind me. The Sci-Chief office is behind you next to the door, but we don't use it. I can usually be found here at this central console or on the bridge.
McFly: CaptMason> No, it was us and everyone else was in the station.
Gila Orrak: I am essentially an Ensign in your ranking system.
McFly: Really odd. Keb, can you determine if it was Fed or not?
Erich Jaenke: (oh, # is good)(
BrenFaliver: Excellent, make yourself comfortable Ensign Orrak
BrenFaliver: ::Hops up and double-times it to the cargo bay, grabbing a very large wrench that was beside the door to Science for no apparent reason::
Gila Orrak: Very well
Gila Orrak: Let me know if you need help with your...box.
Gila Orrak: :: smirks ::
Kansas Kenickie: :::Sips coffee as the lift moves::
Keb: I can run some algorithms on it, but it's not very strong. I'll see what I can do, Captain.
Keb: ::reviews the scans and does some extra tests on her console, biting her lip as she works::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Steps off the lift and heads down the hall::
Callista Tyrel: # + Manticore + Ensign Tyrel here. Away team reporting successful transport.
McFly: ACTION> THE INSIDE OF THE BAUER LOOKS WORSE THAN THE RELIANT AFTER KIRK BEAT THE HELL OUT OF IT. LIGHTS FLICKER, SPARKS IN PLACES THERE SHOULD'T BE SPARK, MANY WOUNDER CREWMEN.
BrenFaliver: ::pops out of the TL and heads into the cargo bay, with a ridiculously large pipe wrench on his shoulder::
McFly: ((sorry, trying to keep up))
Erich Jaenke: # :: Shields himself from the sparks :: What in the rings happened here?
Callista Tyrel: # :: looks to Jaenke :: My instructors taught me to do that. :: smiles ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::walks into the Cargo bay::: hello hello
Keb: ::shakes her head after several minutes of trying:: Captain, I really can't tell--beyond the direction and the fact that it's a warp signature, it's not clearly any make.
McFly: CaptMason> ::motions to the coms:: May I?
McFly: Of course
BrenFaliver: ::smiles a little:: I left the mic open on Science-1 so I could pay attention to bridge operations. I heard I have weak hands and won't be able to open this box? ::gestures with the wrench::
Callista Tyrel: # I think we did this sir. Or our computer did. :: palm light illuminates fire damage :: Where do we start?
Erich Jaenke: # :: smiles :: They would know right away if something happened. I have rigged something to help with transports.
Kansas Kenickie: it's a rumor
McFly: ::retcons masons previous comments::
Callista Tyrel: :: palm light follows scorch marks along ceiling ::
Gila Orrak: :: Looks around, tries contacting Tyrel or Jaenke, but they are not available :: Figures.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Knocks on the box::
McFly: ::to keb:: alright, keep trying. Do some deep scans that way, see if you detect anything out of the ordinary.
Callista Tyrel: # Sir, I think we should request medical assistance.
Keb: ::nods:: Aye, Sir. ::diverts a couple of sensors to the task::
McFly: CaptMason> Captain, I hope I've been able to help but I feel I should be on my ship right now.
Erich Jaenke: # :: Yells :: Is anyone here in need of medical care?
BrenFaliver: Shall I give this a go, or do we wait for the gnomes to answer the door?
Kansas Kenickie: give a go
Gila Orrak: :: She wondered what was up with the helm person ::
McFly: Crewman> # ::yells back:: Hey! is someone there?! I'm stuck!
Erich Jaenke: # :: Goes to help ::
BrenFaliver: ::takes the pipe wrench off his shoulder, gets it up into a swingable position, backs up a few steps. Takes a deep breath, scuttles forward the same steps and jumps up, bringing the wrench down onto the box with all his strength and gravity::
Kansas Kenickie: Woah!
Gila Orrak: :: Looks at the animal cage ::
Callista Tyrel: # :: Climbs over some debris and points palm light in direction of voice :: we are coming!
McFly: Yeah, of course. ::has a security officer escort Mason back to the TR::
Kansas Kenickie: are you really going to wack it?
Kansas Kenickie: use the key!
BrenFaliver: ....what key? ::is on the ground next to the box and wrench::
McFly: Crewman> # ::is stuck under a fallen bulkhead. Fire is lighting the otherwise dark room and inching closer to him::
Kansas Kenickie: the Federation standard black box key thingie
McFly: Crewman> # Please, hurry!
Kansas Kenickie: ::Points to the key hole:: it goes there
Callista Tyrel: # :: lets the chief take the lead...thinking he has been on a torn up ship before and knows what to look for from experience ::
Erich Jaenke: # :: Finds the stuck crewman ::
Kansas Kenickie: why would we make it unopenable
BrenFaliver: Why would it use a *KEY* though? That's so primitive.
Callista Tyrel: # Behind you sir. :: uses palm light to light up injured crewman ::
BrenFaliver: ((Did it open when I smacked it? I'll let you decide, KK))
Kansas Kenickie: somethings never change
McFly: Crewman> # ::sees Erich coming:: Thank god! I wasn't sure if anyone was alive.
Erich Jaenke: # I am unable to move this without risk of collapse.
Kansas Kenickie: Wrench> ::Bounces off the box and goes flight to the right and away::
McFly: Crewman> # I can still feel my legs but they tingle.
Callista Tyrel: # :: puts her " McGuyver " kit on the cluttered deck and retrieves a tricorder ::
BrenFaliver: ((HAHAHAH))
Kansas Kenickie: ::opens the cabinet on the wall, looks through it:: isn't the wench more Primitive?
BrenFaliver: ::sighs:: May I have the key?
Erich Jaenke: # :: Looks for something to brace the bulkhead ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Tosses Bren a Keyring::
McFly: Crewman> # ::starts getting sleepy; struggles to keep his eyes open::
BrenFaliver: ::Pops open the box::
Erich Jaenke: # +Manticore+ This ship is pretty battered, and I have a crewman stuck under a bulkhead .
Callista Tyrel: # :: Scans fallen bulkhead :: Sir that bulkhead weighs too much to lift. Maybe emergency transport him out?
BrenFaliver: I should take this to Science and start processing the data I suppose
McFly: +Jaenke+ Really just one?
Kansas Kenickie: is it damaged or anything like that?
Callista Tyrel: # :: kneels to Injured Crewman :: Stay With us! We have another Ship to help now.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Takes a look inside::
BrenFaliver: Not that I can tell. It looks well-worn, a bit scuffed even inside, but I don't see any obvious damage
Kansas Kenickie: We can Blame Keb and not the Wrench
Gila Orrak: :: Looks at the animal in the cage :: What are you in there?
McFly: CaptMason> ::transports to the Bauer bridge; sees a few crewmen on the floor; his second in command struggling to get anything online::
BrenFaliver: Animal in cage> ::Is a miniature giant space hamster::
McFly: Crewman> # ::very sleepy:: I heard we were hit by another federation ship. Did you get them?
Keb: ::ponders:: Captain?
Erich Jaenke: # +Manticore+ We only found one, pretty sure there are more. I am bracing this bulkhead. Transport them to our sickbay.
McFly: Commander?
Erich Jaenke: # :: Looks at him :: We are investigating that.
BrenFaliver: ::Picks up the box, or its guts, and toddles off to Science::
Callista Tyrel: # :: replies to injured crewman on the fly :: Yes we took out their computer.
Kansas Kenickie: Good luck nerd
McFly: +Jaenke+ Roger that. Ops, send them to Vil
BrenFaliver: Thanks stickjock!
Keb: It's possible that it's a federation signature. It's got some of the markers, but it's so faint I can't be positive.
Callista Tyrel: # :: backs off to allow a transport to take place ::
Keb: There are a few other warp engines out ther ethat would leave similar traces.
Gila Orrak: :: Taps her finger on the cage, inserts it just a little...and get bit :: Ouch!
McFly: OpsGuy> ::taps the commands in and transports the crewman direction to Manticore sickbay::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Grabs the wrench, tosses it up and catches it:: I don't know what that is
Kansas Kenickie: ::Tosses wrench on the counter and exits behind Bren::
Callista Tyrel: #:: observes the crewman dematerialize away and turns to the chief :: What next sir.
McFly: That's really weird. I mean could it have been a ship that left before the explosion?
Gila Orrak: Why that little :: eyes roll back, slumps to the ground ::
BrenFaliver: ::Walks into Science, holding a heavy-arse box which he sets on the central console:: Ensign Orrak, when I said make yourself comfortable that isn't quite what I meant....
Kansas Kenickie: ::Walks off the lift and onto the Bridge::
Gila Orrak: :: out cold ::
Keb: It's possible. The faintness would normally suggest it's an older trail, but...all the readings suggest it's more recent.
Erich Jaenke: # :: Gets out his scanner :: Even my scanner is showing a lot of damage... +Manticore+ The Bauer is stable, but I don't believe I can affect repairs in a meaningful manner.
McFly: I don't like the sound of that.
BrenFaliver: Oof... ::quickly gets the data processing before walking over:: ::Kneels next to Gila:: ::gently shakes her should:: Ensign Orrak? Gila?
Keb: I don't like how it's not all going together in a logical way, either.
McFly: +Jaenke+ Understood. Are the strings holding well enough to be towed under warp?
Callista Tyrel: # :: picks up her Kit but continues to scan with her Tricorder ::
Kansas Kenickie: Box is open 'Captain'
BrenFaliver: Ughhh, computer, begin statistical analysis of black box data correlated by energy signature, by amplitude of signal, and distance from the original sensor banks. Also, uh, ::lightly taps his palm on Gila's cheek trying to wake her:: uhhh run a statistical noise analysis against the raw data to check for record degredation
Erich Jaenke: # +Manticore+ Um.,.. should be
McFly: Good, hopefully we'll get some answers.
Callista Tyrel: # Maybe we should find our way to the bridge sir.
Kansas Kenickie: it didn't look damaged
BrenFaliver: ::Pops up and into Science Chief's office, ignoring the dust and walks over to the small replicator:: Adrenaline inhalant solution, 50...no, 75mcgs
McFly: +Jaenke+ I like the confidence. If It breaks I'm telling them it was your fault.
Erich Jaenke: # +Manticore+ If we keep it slow.
BrenFaliver: ::walks back to Gila, looking at the console screens:: Computer, filter all active analyses to exclude known cosmic radiation sources in this sector
Kansas Kenickie: how's the other ship doing?
Gila Orrak: Ugh... what happened.
BrenFaliver: Ensign Orrak, this is a hell of a first impression. I guess we should note some kind of hamster allergy in your files ::places a small plastic vial under Gila's nose and squeezes it, putting an adrenaline mist into her lungs:: I hope you like running marathons
Gila Orrak: Ahhhh! :: Sits up quickly ::
Callista Tyrel: # Sir perhaps we should talk to this Bauer Captain? I don't know. Are you basing your judgement on the Bauer's structural integrity ...on observation ?
McFly: +Jaenke+ We'll crawl it. ::to keb:: Keb, I think we're done here and the Bauer needs a paint and a wax. Time to do what everyone thinks we do. Prepare the tractor beam and set a course to the nearest starbase. We'll tow the bauer.
Gila Orrak: Was that a Vol?
BrenFaliver: ::quickly pops up onto his heels from a kneeling position:: are you ok?!
BrenFaliver: Was what a vol?
McFly: ::looks at KK:: It's been better.
Gila Orrak: Err, was that, ugh, my head.
BrenFaliver: ::over his shoulder:: Computer, also, uhh, notate on each active analysis the vector and speed relative to the recording sensor for any energy sources
McFly: ((do you even know what you just said?))
BrenFaliver: ((Yes, I do))
Kansas Kenickie: ((you don't?))
Erich Jaenke: # :: Tyrel :: When you look over a problem, you need to know when you can't solve it.
McFly: ((What?! Of course I do!)))
BrenFaliver: ::pops over to the console and hurriedly looks through the information::
BrenFaliver: Ooooh, this is not great
Kansas Kenickie: ::Looks at Keb:: you think that thing will stay together if we tug it with us?
BrenFaliver: Computer, rerun the signal/noise analysis on this result
Callista Tyrel: # :: looks puzzled :: I must confess I have a lot to learn. Where to next Chief?
Erich Jaenke: # We need to strengthen the SIF for transport
BrenFaliver: +Kansas+ Hey, boss? I might have a problem. Several, actually, but one that you and I now share
Keb: ::shrugs:: We've got a strong tractor.
Kansas Kenickie: +Bren+ What kind of problem?
Callista Tyrel: # Uh I think Main Engineering ...or should we do it from the bridge?
Gila Orrak: :: Goes over and leans on the chair :: What is it Commander?
BrenFaliver: +Kansas+ I can send details to you if desired, but there is an anomaly that registers in both the data from the black box and the earlier set from the Bauer. A signal that can be roughly triangulated from both sets to the same location, and with an entropy value of less than .01---er, ok, so it may be consistent with a cloaking device. Not the most common make and model of cloaking device, but pretty close.
Erich Jaenke: # There are miracles and there are Miracles.

McFly: I agree, very sciencey
BrenFaliver: I have a degree in network engineering, unfortunately sometimes I like to think about this ****
BrenFaliver: LOL

BrenFaliver:
