USS Excalibur Sim Log - 10.11.20

MISSION BRIEF: After a fun night around the campfire, the Excalibur team has awakened to a lovely, damp, cold day on what is rapidly becoming a 2 hour tour of an away mission. They now must focus on trying to find a solution to the power drain on the yacht and other electronics, as they have no way of knowing if their message for additional assistance made it out or not.

William Chocox: ::wakes up:: I had a horrible, horrible dream last night.

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::crawling out of his tent wearing an Official Cold Weather Hoodie::

William Chocox: ::looks around:: Damn, it wasn't a dream. ::puts on some cold weather gear and climbs out of his tent.::

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::Looking for coffee::

Maryse Dubois: ::Already sitting by the fire, bundled up.::

Irene Mincine: Irene> :: Climbs out of her tent, also wearing a fancy Starfleet cold-weather jacket. :: "Did the temperature drop 15 degrees or is it just me?"

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::Snorts:: 18

Cptn Swain: Rex> So... ::cracking open a breakfast ration:: first thing's first. Will, I want you and Reynolds to go take a look at the yacht and see how the batteries are -- Irene, you and the doctors are going to take a look at those crystal caves again. Maybe they're related to issue somehow.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Ens Reynolds> ::Shivering by the fire with a hot drink in one hand and a hot ration pack in the other.::

William Chocox: ::snarfs down a breakfast ration:: Aye, sir.

Cptn Swain: Rex> Obviously take some of the ::thumbs towards the science camp:: with you

Maryse Dubois: ::Stands up, walking over to Irene.:: Sounds like a fun trip.

Indaura Ryssan: :: Gets out of her sleeping arrangement ::

William Chocox: ::to Reynolds:: We'll go once you've finished eating.

Irene Mincine: :: Irene's unwrapping a protein bar from a ration pack. :: "Gotcha, commander." :: She calls a few eggheads over from the science team, then answers Maryse. :: "As long as the elevator still works, it will be."

Cptn Swain: (( are you giving me ideas ))

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Ens Reynolds> ::Raises his mug in salute then hunkers down to finish his meal and drink.::

Maryse Dubois: Take good care of me. This is my first time there.

Indaura Ryssan: :: Starts in on a lemon bar ::

Irene Mincine: (( she was concerned about it before! ))

William Chocox: Eat first, you can drink on the way back.

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::drinking fake coffee::

Irene Mincine: :: Nods, then sips from a metal thermos. :: "No problem, doc. We'll check in with the planetside science team and let them know we're going down. I can't wait for you to see those crystals."

Cptn Swain: (( I didn't realize we'd gone to Sedona, ))

Cptn Swain: (( That is a joke exactly one of you will get ))

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: (( LoLz ))

Indaura Ryssan: It's a way down.

Cptn Swain: (( WELCOME TO THE CRYSTAL VORTEX ))

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Ens Reynolds> ::Finished with his ration pack, he threw the remnants into the fire and nodded to Will.:: Ready when you are, sir.

William Chocox: ((I'm literally watching the Penn and Teller: B*llsh*t episode on new age medicine right now.))

Cptn Swain: (( lol Sedona is like the woo woo crystal healing capital of the universe ))

William Chocox: Alright, let's grab our gear and head out. ::grabs his stuff and starts walking towards the yacht::

Maryse Dubois: ::Finishes up her breakfast, and goes to grab her pack.::

Irene Mincine: "All right..." :: She pops into her tent and emerges again wearing her silver-colored pack. :: "Shall we?"

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Ens Reynolds> ::Shoulders his kit and follows along, both hands shoved into his pockets against the cold, breath pluming in the air in front of him.:: Ugh. I hate the cold. I'd rather be on some tropical beach.

William Chocox: Well, we don't always get what we hope for. I'm sure we could arrange some extra holodeck time for you once we get back.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Ens Reynolds> That would be fantastic. The beach without the nasty sunburn. Love it.

Indaura Ryssan: :: Carrying her pack and with the group ::

Cptn Swain: (( I considered a tropical beach planet, but i dice rolled on that and well -- it was also the home to large, venomous lizards and carnivorous plants. ))

Maryse Dubois: ((lol))

Maryse Dubois: ::Rejoins Irene and Indaura.:: Ready.

Indaura Ryssan: Doctor.

William Chocox: I'll arrange it myself once we get back.

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::Once the teams had headed out, Rex pulled out one of Captain's romance novels and made himself comfortable::

Irene Mincine: "Let's head out." :: Irene leads the doctors and a few eggheads on a hike back to the planetside science team's camp at the entrance to the crystal caverns. Despite the cold, she's enjoying being on the ground and doing some exploration. ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Ens Reynolds> ::Hiking back to the yacht, he checked his tricorder as they went and found the battery almost nearly drained.:: No luck with a dampening field, sir? All of our small equipment is badly drained.

William Chocox: I thought the shield would have worked, but apparently not.

Indaura Ryssan: :: Checking her devices ::

Irene Mincine: Irene> :: Sighs, seeing Indaura. :: "We're gonna need hand cranks on our tricorders at the rate the power's going down. How are you looking, Dr. Ryssan?"

Indaura Ryssan: Not too good. Perhaps I need to take pen and paper notes.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Ens Reynolds> Maybe if we get a look at the yacht's systems, we can loop one of the batteries into some sort of modified shielding. Hmm... it would help if we could figure out what's causing the drain in the first place. I've never heard of it being so bad.

William Chocox: Same here, but if we knew what it was, we'd be receiving all sorts of attention from the Daystrom Institute.

Irene Mincine: "Fun times." :: They make it to the science outpost. Irene immediately looks for the one in charge again to inform her that they're going down to the caves. ::

Indaura Ryssan: :: Finishing off her lemon bar ::

Maryse Dubois: ::Looking around.:: Nice setup.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: Ens Reynolds> ::As they arrive at the yacht, he headed for the engineering compartment.:: You ever feel creeped out when in a shuttle without a few crew? It seems strange.

Indaura Ryssan: Wish it was not so far down.

William Chocox: I try not to think about it in such terms, but I guess you're right.

Irene Mincine: "What, you don't like being under a hundred meters of rock?" :: Irene leads them to the cave and elevator, checking the power reserves before they go down. ::

Cptn Swain: (( TWO MINUTE WARNING ))

Maryse Dubois: When you say it like that, it doesn't sound very ideal.

Indaura Ryssan: I mean as a Denobulan I enjoy close quarters, but not exactly like this.

Cptn Swain: Rex> ::drinking coffee and eating a second breakfast ration while reading the book::

Irene Mincine: "The crystal cavern is worth it, though." :: Satisfied that the elevator isn't going to strand them, she turns it on and they descend... ::
