Manticore was 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 severely damaging the USS
Bauer in the process. Soon the engineering team was able to
regain control of the ship. After returning to the battered
Bauer, sensors detected another warp trail leaving the sector.
Then, after recovering the starbase black box, it was
discovered a cloaked ship had been in the vacinity before its
destruction. It was later determined to be a Klingon cloaking
device. Manticore is currently towing the heavily damaged Bauer
to another starbase while Engineering and Science teams work
together to understand how the Manticore computer was compromised.

Jack Ryan: Hey
Kansas Kenickie: hello
Jack Ryan: I Had Injured My Index Finger So Thats Why I Havent Been Attending
Jack Ryan: So What Has Been Going On?
Kansas Kenickie: I had carpel tunnel surgery and broke my ankle
Jack Ryan: last summer i broke my pinkie finger
Kansas Kenickie: Didn't you get the Sim logs sent to you?
Jack Ryan: No i checked my email they werent there
Kansas Kenickie: they are on the message boards too
Jack Ryan: i cant find the most recent log
Jack Ryan: i just got out of surgery last week
Kansas Kenickie: surgery for a finger?
Jack Ryan: its not common
McFly: I've been sending the chat logs to the email you gave me. None of them have come back as undelivered.
Jack Ryan: then its probaly a problem on my end
McFly: check your spam folder
Jack Ryan: i dont put it in spam
Jack Ryan: manticore logs anyway
McFly: you don't but your email might think i'm spam

Jack Ryan: Its THe Shield REUNITED BITCHES
McFly: I'll give Keb a couple of more minutes
Jack Ryan: Sierra Hotel India Echo Lima Delta S.H.I.E.L.D.
Kansas Kenickie: no potty mouth over there
McFly: gotta earn your potty mouth
Jack Ryan: Mcfly you watch wwe?
McFly: Yeah
Keb: ::passes out leftover birthday cake and green tea::
Keb: Hi
McFly: Ooh cake!
Callista Tyrel: Hello Keb!
Jack Ryan: The Shield Renites
McFly: Oh hey, it's keb!
Jack Ryan: CAKE
Jack Ryan: WHERE
Jack Ryan: WHERE IS THE CAKE
McFly: yeah I saw. It was meh.
Jack Ryan: It coulda been done better
BrenFaliver: Hi Keb!
McFly: sweet, that's everyone except Vil and she's most likely busy with a new baby.
Jack Ryan: FUDGE NUGGETS
Keb: That's a good reason to be busy
Jack Ryan: Dagnabit...?
Callista Tyrel: ( Very good reason )

Jack Ryan: Hmm...... Interesting Circumstances Huh Callista......
Jack Ryan: (Question Does The Manticore Have An EMH?
Jack Ryan: Something Smells Off Callista.... A Klingon Cloaking Device?
McFly: ((No, haven't been fitted with one))
Jack Ryan: (Thanks for letting me know)
BrenFaliver: ::Sits in Science-1, staring at his screen motionless for moments at a time before bursting into a flurry of tapping, then motionless again::
Jack Ryan: Just Seems Odd...
Keb: ::towing carefully but at speed::
McFly: Keb, eta on our arrival
Jack Ryan: Why Would A Federation Starbase Have A Klingon Cloaking Device In Its Black Box?
Keb: We'll be at the Starbase in 14.5 minutes, if everything holds.
Kansas Kenickie: ;;looks at McFly:: I have a feeling we are not going to get a warm reception at the starbase
Callista Tyrel: ( I recommend reading the chat log Jack..it will make more sense )
Gila Orrak: :: Sitting on the other side of Science One, no dash 1 for this woman ::
Jack Ryan: (I Know I was saying because the federation signed a treaty banning commissions on federation cloaking devices)
Jack Ryan: (More of a Reference TO Next Gen Then ANything)
Erich Jaenke: :: Working out in main engineering proper ::
McFly: ::nods to Keb; looks over to KK:: yeah I'm not looking forward to explaining this one. Don't need to give the Consul General any more reasons to mothball us.
Erich Jaenke: I feel like I am working at a shipping facility.
Kansas Kenickie: I can convince them
Callista Tyrel: ::rubs her forehead :: I highly doubt ...a cloaked ship sent some sort of malware ....or a hack if you will, if any of the code is corrupted in transmission....it would not work.
Erich Jaenke: :: Looking over records from all over the sector, and then some ::
Erich Jaenke: (was not sure where everyone was)
Callista Tyrel: :: looks to Chief Jaenke :: I cannot say that I know what working at a shipping facility is like...lots of records I take it?
Gila Orrak: Do you always work like that Commander?
Erich Jaenke: It is only records, when you boil of the products.
Erich Jaenke: (off)
Gila Orrak: :: Her back was to Bren. It almost felt like it was as if she was working alone, but alas ::
Keb: Pretty sure they still need us. Not many crews around can do what we do.
Keb: And we didn't do it. We didn't have control at all.
Callista Tyrel: Oh. Well I have been reviewing records of sensor readings from about the time our Computer went. haywire....I just do not see anything. Of course I have never looked for a cloaked signal before.
Erich Jaenke: If it's a good signal you would never see it.
Erich Jaenke: They must have had an issue with it.
Jack Ryan: ::Ryan Would Begin To Get Annoyed::
BrenFaliver: ::Passes some notable data to Erich, though he is subtly shaking his head to himself::
Erich Jaenke: Data from my counterpart in science.
Kansas Kenickie: Annoying Karl> I bet we all get tossed into the Brig
BrenFaliver: I bet you get tossed in head first, Karl
Kansas Kenickie: Karl> I bet you are right
Jack Ryan: Damn It I Hate Not Knowing What To Do....
Keb: As long as I'm not stuck in the same cell as KK, I don't mind.
Erich Jaenke: Saddest part is that computer issue puts our sensor data into question.
Keb: ::gives KK a half-joking look::
Kansas Kenickie: I will make sure we are together
Jack Ryan: ::Thinking To Self:: :I SHouldnt've come to shift today Im Angry Enough As It Is:
BrenFaliver: Actually I've already run some checks on the data consistency and quality, I think we're ok in that regard, sir
Keb: ::loudly:: And I sure wouldn't want Erich anywhere nearby either...
Kansas Kenickie: ::Steals Keb's bow::
McFly: Kansas might be the best person to have in prision
Erich Jaenke: :: Throwing up... ::
Keb: ::puts her hands up to her head too slowly:: Hey!
Keb: That one was regulation size. Close, anyway.
Erich Jaenke: :: ...the visual data from the time when the cloaked ship made an exit ::
Kansas Kenickie: There is no such thing Kebs
Erich Jaenke: :: Tries to chase the data :: Hmm, heading of 145 mark 23... scanning along that path.
Callista Tyrel: :: From her workstation :: But Chief I still think a corrupt program would have to be delivered physically, rather than from our sensors. The code just has to be right.
BrenFaliver: Nah Erich, that's flatulence from a miniature giant space hamster, I chased it down already
Erich Jaenke: They have to get around the firewalls, so it's someone that knows some of the root commands.
Callista Tyrel: ( hehe Bren )
Keb: Dress code regulation 3.2.9.7 allows functional or religious hair ornamentation not to exceed 15 centimeters in width in coordinating colors to the uniform.
Keb: I looked it up.
Erich Jaenke: :: to Bren on an adjacent monitor :: I'm sure you did.
Kansas Kenickie: as long as they aren't a distraction
Callista Tyrel: Or a genius. ::sighs:: I am looking at the readings in that area sir.
Keb: It wasn't distracting ME!
Kansas Kenickie: I was slightly
Gila Orrak: Bren, let me know if a killer plant or lifeform is involved. :: She wrinkled her forehead, causing her 'spoon' to do the same ::
Keb: Yeah, and now I've got to slow down a little faster than I expected. Hold on in case the inertial dampeners don't like you, KK.
Keb: ::bringing us out of warp not far from the station, along with our companion ship;;
Erich Jaenke: :: to others in engineering :: We are coming out of warp.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Clips the bow in her hair::
Callista Tyrel: I confess I have little experience dealing with cloaking fields..Just a week or so...how it works...but sending a signal with a package....I don't know how it can be done. Maybe our science teams know this stuff better. :: taps and zooms her data:::
Jack Ryan: ::Goes To My Crew Quarters::
Erich Jaenke: If it's a physical thing that was the corruption point then the field would have been disturbed to release it.
McFly: ACTION> MANTICORE DROPS OUT OF WAR NEAR STATION 702
McFly: WARP
BrenFaliver: YAY ITS PEACE TIME
Erich Jaenke: (Warp, what it is good for?)
McFly: ((absolutely nothing))
Erich Jaenke: :: Notes that Ryan is feeling under the weather ::
BrenFaliver: ((Say it again))
Callista Tyrel: But what if the physical method of transmission used on Manticore itself?
Erich Jaenke: ((Warp!)
Jack Ryan: ::Is feverish::
Erich Jaenke: Then we are in for a bad time.
Jack Ryan: :Heads back to engineering anyways:
McFly: ((good god y'all))
Jack Ryan: ::gets to station near primary warp core::
Callista Tyrel: :: notes the Power levels drop in Engineering from the ship dropping out of Warp ::
Keb: Captain...we're here. I'm transmitting docking request now.
Callista Tyrel: Everything went crazy after we had our visitor from the Bauer Sir.
Jack Ryan: Good God
McFly: Very good. I'm imagining everyone gawking out the window at the bauer.
Jack Ryan: ::Ryan Would Get A Migraine::
McFly: Then they're like, oh how brave, you saved the ship, and then we're like, we did
BrenFaliver: Just tell them its a trophy from our hunting expedition, and they might not screw with us
Jack Ryan: SON OF A
Keb: ::glances back at McFly skeptically:: you think they'd really fall for that?
Erich Jaenke: Funny, if I'm not too medicated and every engineer is doing their job I know exactly what is going on by reading their thoughts
Jack Ryan: ::Ryan Would Struggle to COntinue working under this condition::
McFly: If science changes our logs they will!
BrenFaliver: I'm a scientist not a special FX pro, Captain. It'll take a few hours.
Callista Tyrel: Okay...I take it, I should ...spill it out then. Yeah I admit..I think Mason did it.....or well he is a suspect.
Jack Ryan: He Probably DId
McFly: Starbase 702> ::transmits docking approval::
Erich Jaenke: Mason?
Jack Ryan: ::Ryan Would Look Pale::
McFly: ::sighs:: Of course it will
BrenFaliver: ((Why do you write Ryan's actions in the conditional?))
Gila Orrak: :: Continues to work ::
Jack Ryan: He probably did do it
Callista Tyrel: It fits the timeline of events. And he would be the most ...capable method of delivering a corrupt program into our computer system.
Erich Jaenke: We have no evidence and I did not sense any ill intentions.
Callista Tyrel: ::looks at Ryan :: Uh..you may not want to follow me on this Jack.
Keb: ::shakes her head at McFly:: There's a reason they don't put me in security, Captain. I don't have the best poker face.
Keb: Erich reads me like a book.
Erich Jaenke: I'm wondering if he has the knowledge to carry it out... perhaps he had help.
Jack Ryan: Im Sick ENough As It Is I Have to continue to do my Job callista
Erich Jaenke: (( with pictures Keb ))
McFly: Well, i mean, he's reading your mind too
Keb: ((hee!))
Erich Jaenke: :: to Ryan :: Try some tea Mr. Ryan
Jack Ryan: No I'll Be Fine Chief...
Keb: He's not the only one who can do that. We don't know who is at the base.
Keb: I think we're better off with the truth--as much of it as we know at this point, anyway.
Erich Jaenke: :: Goes to the replicator :: No, then I'll have some. Betazoid brew...made to clear the mind.
Callista Tyrel: ::looks at Chief Engineer Jaenke :: I am just looking at the easiest way to upload a corrupt program into our system.. A Physical Connection. If I may Sir....should I take this up with Security..
Jack Ryan: ::To Self:: Have... To Keep... Working
Callista Tyrel: :: looks to Ryan :: hope you feel better cadet.
Jack Ryan: Cheif Permission To Take The Rest Of The Day Off
Erich Jaenke: Permission granted.
Erich Jaenke: I send the replication pattern to your replicator. My only request is you give it a try.
Jack Ryan: Fine..
Jack Ryan: ::Walks out of engineering down to my quarters::
Callista Tyrel: ::turns leaning away from her computer away from her workstation :: Hope he gets well.
Erich Jaenke: Computer, play Paranoid Android, Earth archives, 25% volume.
Erich Jaenke: The hum gets to me after a while.
McFly: Starbase 702> ::over coms:: Uh, Manticore, we'll take the bauer from here.
Erich Jaenke: You listen to music Tyrel?
McFly: Starbase 702> ::engages tractor beams to position the Bauer into their docking clamps::
Callista Tyrel: Uh some when I exercise....something usually with some rhythm.
Gila Orrak: Another starbase. I have been to so many.
Erich Jaenke: Earth has an ocean of music. I'm always finding something new.
Callista Tyrel: San Francisco exposed me to quite a bit of music.
McFly: ::to Keb:: I wonder if they've ever see a ship this badly banged up
Keb: ::shrugs:: I dunno. ::feels the way Manticore somehow seems relieved of a weight despite the weightlessness::
Erich Jaenke: For I sat and listened to music for the rest of my life, but was only a teaspoon and my time was finite.
Erich Jaenke: They have a good scene there.
Callista Tyrel: :: smiles :: Hmm...Computer, Post all whereabouts of Captain Mason on his visit to Manticore...Compile chronologically.
Keb: But they'll have better resources than we do to fix her up.
Jack Ryan: (MATH SCIENCE HISTORY UNRAVELING THE MYSTERY THAT ALL STARTED WITH A BIG BANG HEY!!!)
Callista Tyrel: Hmm....:: turns and looks at Data :: Hmm....21st century early ....Earth Music...Rock...
Callista Tyrel: :: looks at the Compiled Data ::
Erich Jaenke: I have to listen to music in order for the voices to stop.
Erich Jaenke: Maybe an audio file with code, inject it into an unchecked buffer.
Callista Tyrel: :: stops and turns around :: Betazoids...Uhm....
Gila Orrak: I don't even know why I am on this vessel Faliver. My superiors would not tell me.
Callista Tyrel: I am sorry....every time an nervous ensign comes aboard.
BrenFaliver: We needed another Science officer, you are a science officer
Keb: Captain...
McFly: Yep
Keb: We've got an incoming request for a private comm to you.
Keb: From the SB commander.
Callista Tyrel: :: looks back at the Mason data ::: Hmm well I don't see an obvious...marker.
Gila Orrak: I could not pass up going to non-Cardassian ship. Federation no less. The Council wished to smooth over relations.
McFly: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
BrenFaliver: So, what is missing for your superiors to not have told you?
Keb: ::startled by McFly's reaction:: Sir?
McFly: Forward it to the ready room. You have the bridge... and possibly command once this is all finished.
Callista Tyrel: ::turns:: I can understand your desire to ....be alone ... at times. To be at peace with...an undistrubed mind.
McFly: ::walks into the ready and sits in the chair; takes more time than is necessary before answering the call::
Erich Jaenke: :: turn to Tyrel :: I'm rarely alone. I hear it all unless the medication is in full effect.
Jack Ryan: ((I Hate to say it but i have to go))
Erich Jaenke: The cries, the arguments, the intimacies.
Keb: ::glances over at KK with some concern::
Erich Jaenke: (take care Ryan)
Jack Ryan: ((I'll be back next sim for the full time)
Jack Ryan: (You To CHief
Callista Tyrel: On Betazed, do Betazoids constantly broadcast their thoughts as well?
Callista Tyrel: ( bye Jack )
McFly: ((later jack))
Keb: ::gets on with the docking sequence while keeping an eye on the bridge too::
Erich Jaenke: I can hear your voice, voices..
McFly: Mellen> ::the station commander pops up on the screen in front of him; she looks at him with much concern:: Captain, May I ask what happened? Captain Mason said you damaged his vessel?
Erich Jaenke: Not normally.
McFly: Yeah, ugh, see what had happened was... and then...
Erich Jaenke: My mind is as if I can toss my thoughts a long distance
McFly: Mellon> I see. And you still don't know how you lost control of the ship?
McFly: We're working on it ma'am.
Callista Tyrel: I was just wondering...I mean ...you have no shields ...for lack of a better word....for thought bombardment.
Callista Tyrel: :: puts her time locations of Mason along with Computer Access points on Manticore ::
McFly: ::ends his comm with Mellon:: That wasn't as bad as I expected.
Callista Tyrel: Grrr.... Nothing. Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree.
BrenFaliver: +Erich+ Uh... my fellow department leading enthusiast, I have a concern...
Callista Tyrel: :: quiets herself to allow Jaenke to answer the COM ::
Erich Jaenke: +Bren+ Are you thinking the same thing?
Erich Jaenke: :: looks at Tyrel ::
Callista Tyrel: :: remains quiet ::
BrenFaliver: +Erich+ I just stumbled on it, I mean... I've only seen these things used once before, and we were the ones using them. Does it look right to you? I'm passing you some data to the main Eng table
Erich Jaenke: :: Goes to the pool table :: \
Callista Tyrel: :: walks over to the Pool table ::
Keb: ::gets the docking finalized::
BrenFaliver: +Erich+ Erich? Erich? Did you pass out from the shock?
BrenFaliver: +Erich+ But, who the hell could have gotten the Manticore's ship prefix codes??
Erich Jaenke: It may be the root code after all. +Bren+ No, but I think all Starfleet ships may be in great danger.
Callista Tyrel: :: looks at Jaenke ::
McFly: = /\ ======= PAUSE SIM ======= /\ =
McFly: = /\ ======= PAUSE SIM ======= /\ =
McFly: = /\ ======= PAUSE SIM ======= /\ =
Erich Jaenke: My prefix is 740
BrenFaliver: ::Pause::
McFly: mine is 850
McFly: had to get that cliff hanger in there.
Erich Jaenke: Some years ago that would have not seemed like a prefix at all
Callista Tyrel: hmm...
McFly: Alright, KK left early cause she's not feeling well. She broke her ankle this weekend and it hurts like hell.
Erich Jaenke: OMG, really?
BrenFaliver: Oh carp!
McFly: yep. shoveling snow i think she said
McFly: So, all well wishes for her.
Callista Tyrel: oh no!
Erich Jaenke: I sent her some stuff a while back, but she liked the plastic bags I packed things in the best.
Callista Tyrel: oh my....
Keb: ouch, poor KK  
Erich Jaenke: Home broken bone kit perhaps.
McFly: Oh, and I had an email exchange with A9 this weekend too. He's on week 2 of a 3 week trip into Asia. Hong Kong, Thailand and ending in Vietnam.
Erich Jaenke: That little ****
BrenFaliver: He wouldn't get a tattoo at the dodgy looking place
Erich Jaenke: I mean I hope he is having a good tiome
Keb: Aw, I'm glad he's having a good trip!
Erich Jaenke: The best I can do is listen to a song by Asia
Keb: Hong Kong was fun.
Callista Tyrel: I have to go....you all have a good night!
McFly: Don't know about Sovak. I assume A9 left him to fend on the streets all alone.
BrenFaliver: Good night, good week
Erich Jaenke: I think I like the idea of traveling, but may not like it as much once I was on the journey.
Keb: OH that reminds me that I'll be in Disneyland next week so not here.
Erich Jaenke: I'd picture up the place though
McFly: Nice Keb!
Keb: Have fun with Kardboard Keb.
Erich Jaenke: It's a small world Keb
Keb: Taking my parents and husband.
McFly: We're hoping to go back to disney world once construction is all finished.
Keb: Kinda a birthday thing, kinda just a thing I've been wanting to do for some time
Erich Jaenke: I will tuck the cardboard Keb with a cardboard blanket
Keb: Yeah, a lot of people are waiting for Galaxy's Edge. I'm kinda hoping by going ahead of time we avoid some of the crowd.
McFly: Real quick, TBS will be immediate as we all process this new revelation.
Keb: oof my eyes are tired and did not read that t correctly.
McFly: questions, comments?
Erich Jaenke: We should do a plot where the crew slowly turns into cardboard cutouts?
Erich Jaenke: And we are orbiting Scissor World
McFly: sounds like a dream Bren had
McFly: Well if nothing else then everyone is...
McFly: DISMISSED!
McFly: Have fun in disney Keb!
BrenFaliver: o.o
BrenFaliver: Good night!
McFly: later dudes
Keb: Thanks! Gnight all!
Erich Jaenke: Have fun and takes shots
