USS Excalibur Sim Log - 11.24.19

MISSION BRIEF: When we last left off, Excalibur had detected an explosion on the surface near the Federation embassy. Meanwhile while investigating an unusual device aboard an Elasian cruiser, Will and his engineering team triggered an EM pulse that disabled all technology in the area of the device.

William Chocox: # ::to the group at large:: Alright, sound off, who's not dead?

VonDrake: ::on the Excalibur in Engineering::

Hakran K'hal: @ ::unaware of the drama off in the capital or in orbit, is leading the team from the protection of one tree canopy to the next ::

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::frowns at the report:: Planetary authorities are responding.

Irene Mincine: :: Irene's playing security for the science team with her phaser. Tiran is complaining about the pterosaur. ::

Maryse Dubois: ::In sickbay, tending to her last patient that transferred over.::

Irene Mincine: Carillon> "Should we bring up the away team from the surface, sir?"

Rhan K'hal: I've lost contact with the engineering team on board the [ship name].

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ensign Reynolds> ::Peering down at his tricorder, frowning. Glances up, looking about the corridor.:: I think... I think we're all fine, sir. Our equipment is dead, however.

William Chocox: #::sighs:: Not again.

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::Frowns deeper:: The Yalta is signaling for the fleet to go to Yellow Alert

Rhan K'hal: ::swivels the scanners over to that ship:: I have their life signs though. Looks like the power went out. Will's specialty, isn't it?

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Considering.:: Yes, recall all crew to the ship. And find out where Captain Swain is. If we can't get him on comms, I'm sending someone down. Set the ship to Yellow Alert.

William Chocox: # Let's see if we can fix anything.

Hakran K'hal: @ Damned oversized pigeon. Shoo!

Cptn Swain: Rex> :Nods:: Yellow Alert, aye sir.

Rhan K'hal: +SciTeam+ Excalibur to surface team. We've got to bring you up.

Irene Mincine: @ Irene> "We should be okay under the canopy of the rainforest. The"”" :: She gets the message from Rhan. :: "Great idea, lieutenant. Let's get the hell out of here."

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::puts security on alert, and has a team on standby to go to the surface,::

Hakran K'hal: @ Looks like we'll have to be bad guests and leave the campsite for now.

William Chocox: # ::looks over:: Is that thing still on?

Hakran K'hal: @ +Rhan+ Go ahead, it's good timing.

Maryse Dubois: ::Had just finished up when the ship went to yellow alert.:: +Rhan+ What's happening up there?

Rhan K'hal: TR3> :: gets the word and initiates transport ::

Rhan K'hal: +Maryse+ The list of what isn't would be shorter, Doc.

Irene Mincine: @ "We can pick up the samples on our next excursion, or have Engineering transport them to a cargo bay."

Rhan K'hal: +Maryse+ We may end up with some casualties from the surface, not sure yet. So be prepared for potential burn victims, shrapnel injuries, etc.

Maryse Dubois: +Rhan+ So Excalibur level of crazy. Gotcha.

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::Stanton:: Nothing from the Captain, last he reported in he was ::pauses:: at the embassy.

Hakran K'hal: :: nods at Irene as the transport starts, shimmers back into being on the Excalibur ::

William Chocox: #::tries to see if he can get a better look at the device::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ensign Reynolds> I don't know, sir. I mean... we don't have any working instruments to get a reading.

William Chocox: # True.

Irene Mincine: Carillon> "The embassy." :: She says coldly. ::

Hakran K'hal: :: notes the yellow alert :: Valdar, go ahead and run those samples down to the lab and pass them over to Semek. Everyone can tidy up a bit first, then report to stations. I'll be up on the bridge.

Rhan K'hal: :: has a conversation with the transporter operator in TR3 ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Turns to Rex.:: Send a team. I want him found.

Irene Mincine: Valdar> "Yes, sir." :: She nods, collecting everyone's sample packs and runs off to the lab with them.

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::Nods:: Yes, sir. ::Logs off his console:: On my way.

Maryse Dubois: ::Keeps sickbay on standby.::

William Chocox: # And our communications are probably down.

Rhan K'hal: +Will+ :: a care package shimmers onto the floor a meter away, with comm badges, tricorders, and some medical supplies ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Cdr Jalen Stanton> Mr. K'hal, what's the status of our engineering away teams?

Irene Mincine: Irene> "Science 2, reporting for duty." :: After handing her backpack to Valdar.

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::Heads to the lift after ordering his security team to meet them and informed the embassy he was on his way.::

Rhan K'hal: I just sent them a care package so we can figure out why they lost power over there on top of the communications.

William Chocox: # Ooh, new toys. ::grabs a comm badge and keys it to himself:: +Excal+ Chocox to Excalibur.

Rhan K'hal: +Will+ Excalibur here, go ahead.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ensign Reynolds> ::Takes one of the newly sent tricorders and scans the EMP device.::

Hakran K'hal: :: exits the lift onto the bridge in his jungle attire, complete with a few leafy souvenirs stuck in his fur ::

VonDrake: ::running diagnostics, trying to keep abreast of what's going on::

Irene Mincine: :: Irene follows Hakran out, wearing what would barely pass for a TOS miniskirt as her jungle uniform. She takes over at Science II. ::

Hakran K'hal: :: sees right away what the urgency is about, does what he can to start sorting out scans of the embassy area ::

William Chocox: #+Rhan+ So...this is absolutely not my fault, but we lost power here.

Cptn Swain: $Rex>::Makes his way to the transporter room, and heads down to the embassy::

Rhan K'hal: +Will+ The timing could've been better, however it happened. What DID happen?

Irene Mincine: :: Irene uses her expert biology knowledge to try to narrow down any life signs at the embassy. :: "We'll find him."

Cptn Swain: $Rex> ::He and his security team beamed down to the surface, things were hectic as responders and police mingled with people.::

William Chocox: #+Rhan+ There's some sort of device attached to the power systems here. We cut power to the section to see what happened and an EMP went off.

Rhan K'hal: +Will+ :: whistles:: That's not standard equipment I don't think. : :Stanton :: Commander, this one needs your attention.

Cptn Swain: $Rex> ::Things were hectic, but it appeared the embassy itself was intact, though damaged.. He sighed with relief at that at least. :: +KHal+ Rex to Excalibur.

William Chocox: #+Rhan+ Ensign Reynolds is trying to get more information from the device with one of our new tricorders.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::He rose and ventured over to K'hal's station to have a look at the readings.::

VonDrake: ::now paying more attention to the chatter, realizes there a lot going on::

Rhan K'hal: :: switches to the other ear ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ensign Reynolds> It doesn't seem to be active any longer, sir. I'm not showing any power draw.

Rhan K'hal: +Rex+ Go ahead.

Irene Mincine: :: Carillon faces Rhan and Stanton with narrowed eyes, unnerving when one is yellow. :: "If someone is targeting the Federation, there could be a device like that onboard our ship."

Cptn Swain: $Rex> +K+ We're approaching the embassy. It appears to be still intact. The local authorities have established a security perimeter. I haven't seen the Captain yet. We're making our way over . now.

William Chocox: #::looks over to Reynolds:: Thank you Ensign.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Cdr Jalen Stanton> Let's not jump to any conclusions. We don't know what is over there, much less why it is over there. ::To Carillon.::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ensign Reynolds> Should we try to remove it? ::Looking to Will for direction.::

Rhan K'hal: +Rex+ We've got you on sensors, we're also trying to sort out what we can, we have an entire task force scrutinizing things from orbit.

Hakran K'hal: :: aside to Irene:: And I thought Rhan was the pessimist.

William Chocox: #::walks over:: If we think it's inactive. Don't want it going off again.

Irene Mincine: :: Carillon looks like she's not happy about being shut down, but goes back to monitoring the helm. :: "Right."

Indaura Ryssan: :: In her office, last she thought ::

Irene Mincine: Irene> "Maybe it's a pilot thing." :: Still trying to find the captain's life signs." :: "I hate hardcore types."

Cptn Swain: $Rex> ::Moving through the scrum, he motioned to the team to spread out::

Hakran K'hal: :: while the majority of the sensor data coming from the planet is bio in the effort to locate survivors, there is enough for some chemical analyses, so he has the computer work on trying to identify any possible explosive signatures ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Cdr Jalen Stanton> +Will+ What are you seeing over there, Lieutenant?

William Chocox: #::takes a deep breath:: +Stanton+ We have a device of unknown origin and purpose attached to the power system of this ship. We cut power to the section in order to see if that would turn it off and allow us more options for analysis and removal. Unfortunately that caused an EMP to go off. We were going to attempt to remove the device as we do not detect any more power to it.

Rhan K'hal: ::keeping an ear on as many things as he can while Obee handles the rest::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Cdr Jalen Stanton> +Will+ If you can do it safely, get it back over here for analysis. I want you off that ship soon. There's been an incident on the planet and we've recalled all crew. Start transporting everyone you don't need for the device removal.

Irene Mincine: :: Irene relays all the life signs she finds to the rescue net. :: "I'm picking up plenty of people down there. No captain, yet..."

Hakran K'hal: ::nods::

William Chocox: #+Stanton+ Understood sir. Alright, everyone but Reynolds, back to the Excalibur they're recalling the crew. Reynolds, you and me are going to remove this thing.

Cptn Swain: $Rex> ::Approaches the main entrance to the complex . where a Starfleet security officer was looking tired. He was covered in soot and smoke. Rex showed his clearance.:: I am looking for Captain Asher Swain.

Rhan K'hal: ::contacts the TRs re: the engineers::

William Chocox: #::steps up to the device in question::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ensign Reynolds> Yes, sir. ::Reaches for his tool case, ready to assist.::

Rhan K'hal: ::verifying::

Rhan K'hal: All crew engineers are back aboard aside from Chocox and Reynolds, Commander.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Sighs as he travels back to the Captain's seat. While he'd taken the command route to eventually command his own ship, he didn't want it happen like this. Swain seemed like a decent person despite his choice in hairstyles.::

William Chocox: #::starts looking to see where the connection points are:: Let's be careful, don't want to get shocked.

Irene Mincine: Carillon frowned at the back and forth between the bridge and various teams. :: "I don't know if I can get used to being up here instead of out there..."

Indaura Ryssan: :: Sitting down in her office ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::He nodded to Rhan.:: Keep an eye on them. Bring them back if there's any more trouble on the surface. Device or no, I want everyone back.

Rhan K'hal: Will do.

VonDrake: ::watches as the engineering teams start filtering back in to main engineering::

Cptn Swain: $Security> We're still checking in, but try the main entrance.

Cptn Swain: $Rex> What happened>

Cptn Swain: $Security> There was an explosion, it all happened so quickly.

Cptn Swain: $ Commander Rex.

Cptn Swain: $Rex> ::glances over::

Hakran K'hal: (( who invited Michael Bay to the embassy anyway? ))

Irene Mincine: :: Irene made sure the transporter rooms were able to keep a solid lock on everyone down there. :: "Linking sensor grid with transporter system. You should be able to pull them out from just about anywhere."

Hakran K'hal: The sensor resolution is pretty impressive.

Cptn Swain: $Rex> ::sighs:: Captain. We tried raising you.

Irene Mincine: Irene> "I really like this ship's sensors, yeah."

Cptn Swain: $ Communications are limited to emergency transmissions only. I was about to send a messenger the old fashioned way.

Cptn Swain: $Rex> +Excalibur+ Rex to bridge...

Rhan K'hal: +Rex+ Go ahead, sir.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ensign Reynolds> ::disengages one of the couplings that kept the device in place.::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ensign Reynolds> So far so good, sir.

Cptn Swain: $Rex> +K+ I am here with Captain Swain.

William Chocox: #::disengages another one of the couplings:: Same here.

Indaura Ryssan: :: Leaves her office and enters sickbay ::

Cptn Swain: TWO MINUTE . WARNING

Rhan K'hal: ::lets out a breath:: +Rex+ Glad to hear it.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Breathes a sigh of relief.::

William Chocox: ((There's like, 5 minutes left in the game. :P ))

Irene Mincine: :: Irene's relief was palpable. Carillon's expression didn't change, as usual. ::

Hakran K'hal: :: tail does a loop-de-loop while he continues concentrating on the sensor data ::

William Chocox: # Let's keep going then. ::continues taking it out::

Cptn Swain: $ +Excalibur+ We'll head up soon. I want to get a status report from the embassy first.

Hakran K'hal: I'm transferring my current data to you, Ensign. I want to take a look at what data we have on what happened with [Will's Elasian Ship].

Rhan K'hal: +Swain+ Understood, Captain. We have a lock on you now.

Indaura Ryssan: :: Pokes her head in :: Hello?

Cptn Swain: ...and...

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ensign Reynolds> ::Severs another connection and relaxes when nothing happens.::

Irene Mincine: "Explosives, organics, same thing, really..." :: Watching the data come in to her panel. ::
