USS Excalibur Sim Log - 02.28.21

[Cdr Miranda Hawthorne 0]

MISSION BRIEFING: Repairs have continued but we're still on a timer as we need to deliver those medical supplies to the Tellerite colony. The Romulan crew from the Talon have been assisting us in repairs but a few key systems remain, likewise we may have additional guests from the Empire who are less cuddly than Commander t'Temarr.

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:07 PM

Irene does a double-take now that the sensor array is back up and pointed at the border. "Uh, commander, we have Romulan company..."

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:08 PM

:: Scanning in engineering still ::

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:08 PM

William is in the Impulse Reactor room, attempting to fix it. Every time he wiped at his face it pretty much just moved the soot around his face.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:08 PM

Enters main engineering deck, making a grand appearance, and a new hairstyle -- pulled back and braided -- for the episode. He even shaved.

 

Clark> On the bridge, watching lights on the ops console start to come to life again

 

Maryse Dubois 28-Feb-21 08:09 PM

::Has made it back to the medical lab, putting the finishing touch on the vaccine.::

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:11 PM

::Monitoring the warp core from the main station, upswept brows drawn together in concentration. She snapped something at one of the nearby Romulan engineers, who nodded and went back to tweaking one of the nearby nodes with his Federation buddy.::

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:11 PM

Clearing his throat You must be Commander t'Temarr.

 

CdrMirandaHawthorne 28-Feb-21 08:12 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Makes some adjustment to tactical.:: Can you get a good read on them, Ensign?

 

Maryse Dubois 28-Feb-21 08:13 PM

::Sets up the vaccine for synthesis, then checks on the state of the rest of her supplies.::

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:13 PM

She tries to get a reading on how many there are out there. "A-a lot of them. I'm trying to narrow it down."

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:13 PM

::Glances up and over at Swain, taking the measure of him in a single sweeping look.:: Ie. You are the Captain of this vessel?

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:13 PM

:: Completing her scans ::

 

CdrMirandaHawthorne 28-Feb-21 08:14 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Well, we're officially on this side of where we should be, but... that doesn't matter much to the Romulans, I think.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:14 PM

Nods Captain Asher Swain. My apologies for not coming down sooner. I want to extend my personal thanks, as well as those of the Federation, for your assistance.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:14 PM

"Lieutenant Lahl, I need the flex spanner."

The Trill hands it to him. "Here you are sir."

"Thank you."

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:15 PM

:: Approaches the two captains, albeit slowly ::

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:16 PM

Rex> Hops off the lift onto the bridge, scowling

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:17 PM

Enarrain Laehval t'Temarr. ::Slight incline of her head as she gestured to engineering.:: Your crew is competent enough, I've found. The process has been fascinating.

 

CdrMirandaHawthorne 28-Feb-21 08:17 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Chief... ::Seeing Rex.:: You're just in time to see the Romulans gang up on us.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:18 PM

Good. I am glad to hear that. We've had a few opportunities to work closely with the Romulans over the years. I think one of our former colleagues served on your vessel actually.

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:18 PM

She shakes her head at her console. "It's using the indicator that means a lot of Romulans. That's all I can get."

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:18 PM

:: Awaits her turn ::

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:19 PM

Rex> Scowls more deeply Of course.

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:20 PM

::Slight eyebrow arch.:: On the Talon? Not many of our kind delve into the Federation.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:20 PM

Rex> takes the tactical console and looks over what sensors were showing

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:21 PM

Williams cranks down hard on the bolt he had been working on. "I really hope this works. We need to get going soon."

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:21 PM

Val> "I can give you 1/32nd impulse if that helps." She looks pretty frustrated.

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:22 PM

:: Gets more into the space of Captain Swain and Enarrain t'Temarr ::

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:23 PM

He was exchange officer, Centurion Issaha N'Dak.

 

CdrMirandaHawthorne 28-Feb-21 08:23 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Returns to the center seat.:: So long as they're staying on their side of the Neutral Zone... If you see weapon spikes, however...

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:23 PM

Smiles, notices Indaura Doctor?

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:23 PM

Sorry to intrude, but I wanted to let you know there are no issues of radiation or medical calamities in engineering.

If there is nothing else I shall return to medical.

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:24 PM

Irene> "Understood..." She looked uncharacteristically nervous, monitoring the science station for Romulan weapon power-up.

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:24 PM

::snorts.:: I should have known it would have been a N'Dak. ::Turns back to the console while he speaks with the doctor.:: It's always a N'Dak.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:24 PM

Rex> Understood.

I see their reputation for trouble is universal. ::Smirks, then turns again tot he doctor:: Thank you doctor, let Dr. DuBois know I would like a status update on the vaccine.

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:26 PM

I will do that. :: Turns to t'Temarr :: Pleasure to meet you Enarrain Laehval t'Temarr.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:26 PM

Laehval We were on our way to a Federation colony experiencing an outbreak of a virus when we encountered the wormhole.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:26 PM

"Well sir, there's not much else we can do to it. We should probably head back to main Engineering." William and Kimonzi walk back to Engineering. "Oh...hello Captain Swain."

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:27 PM

Our readings seem to indicate that it was created by our own warp drive being out of alignment. He frowned

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:27 PM

::Brief glance at the doctor.:: Maenak.

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:28 PM

:: Nods than leaves main engineering ::

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:28 PM

Rex> I wonder if we can get a trip to Risa out of this. You know, as some shore leave for such a terrible experience. Assuming the Romulans don't blow us out of the stars for kicks.

 

Asher> Oh good. Mr. Chocox.  

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:29 PM

The power spikes in your systems indicate as such. There was a sudden surge too powerful for your systems to handle and it cycled through until it found a faulty power node. Though, I am curious why such a thing would happen with no prior warning or undue stress on the ship.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:29 PM

"Aye sir?"

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:29 PM

:: Some moments later Doctor Ryssan arrives at medical ::

Doctor Dubios?

 

CdrMirandaHawthorne 28-Feb-21 08:30 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> That's a broad assumption. ::Grimly.:: Though the fact that we have their own kind aboard might be in our favor.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Unless...

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:30 PM

I am too. There are dozens of safety systems that should have prevented that from happening. He glanced over to Will I've been looking through the sensor data, but I am not an engineer.

 

Maryse Dubois 28-Feb-21 08:30 PM

::Waving Indaura over.:: I was just double checking on supplies. Seems like most of it is intact.

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:30 PM

Val> Scoffs. "What if they're the Romulan version of the Excalibur?"

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:30 PM

Rex> The finest crew in the fleet?

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:31 PM

I scanned everything and everyone in engineering for radiation and other anomalies. Everything and one are fine. The captain expressed his desire for an update on the vaccine.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:31 PM

"I've been attempting to figure out why the power surge took out the safety interlocks."

 

Maryse Dubois 28-Feb-21 08:31 PM

Well it's done. It just needs to go through synthesis.

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:32 PM

Val> "Close enough, sure."

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:32 PM

What happened prior to the surge? ::Slight of her head.::

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:33 PM

Nods I want to make sure that if we go to warp the same thing won't happen again, but I think the deeper autopsy can wait till we're out of the neutral zone. No offense Commander, but I feel like the longer we're hanging out here the more likely we are to draw unwanted attention for both of us, yes>?

 

Clark> Mutters I graduated top quarter of my class, I don't know what you're talking about.

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:35 PM

How many can we make versus how many do we need?

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:35 PM

"Prior to the surge we hit a wormhole."

"Far as I know."

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:36 PM

::Half smirk.:: You mean, you likely have already attracted such attention and would like to withdraw before it grows worse. Ie, there will be watchers out there.

 

Maryse Dubois 28-Feb-21 08:36 PM

If we can begin the process soon, and have it uninterrupted, we will have enough before we arrive at the colony.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:37 PM

He nodded. How long before we're able to begin testing the warp field?

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:37 PM

Val> "I graduated..." She thought for a moment. "It's been a long time, I forget. Anyway, let's concentrate on responding to anything the Romulans do."

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:37 PM

Clark> I could look it up.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:38 PM

"Probably as soon as Reynolds has more than 50% of the power nodes on Deck 16 replaced."

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:38 PM

Val> "By all means."

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:38 PM

We've done what we could do to help, anyhow. ::She barked out a command and her engineers began to gather their kits.:: I've left supplies, should you need them. Components, not complete parts, naturally.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:38 PM

Nods Of course.

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:40 PM

If we can't get underway we may have all the time we need.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:40 PM

Straightens I want to thank you again, and if you ever need anything and we're around ... well you only need to ask.

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:41 PM

::Nods to Swain.:: I would say that is not likely, but the universe is smaller than one might think. Good luck you, Captain. And do try to stay out of our territory, else the next Rihans you come across might not be so pleasant.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:42 PM

He tipped his head respectfully

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:43 PM

Computer> beep boop "Lieutenant Valerie Carillon. Class of 2374, aeronautic track, 95th percentile. Selected for emergency fast-track pilot training program authorized by the Federation Security Council during Dominion War."

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:43 PM

ACTION> The Romulans grouped together in engineering as their captain activated her comm unit. A moment later, they swirled out of existence, back to their own ship.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:44 PM

Looks over to Will and exhales Sometimes the universe gives us a tiny break, eh?

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:44 PM

I'm always nervous around Romulans.

"And yes."

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:44 PM

Irene> Tenses up when the console beeps. "The Romulan engineers have returned to their ship, sir."

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:45 PM

Well, I won't keep you. Inform us as soon as you're ready to test the warp drive.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:45 PM

"Aye sir."

 

CdrMirandaHawthorne 28-Feb-21 08:46 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> About time. ::Sighs.:: Get us out of here, Lieutenant Carillon. Even on impulse, limping away from Romulan space is better than just sitting here.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:46 PM

Our first priority is getting out of the Neutral Zone and under way to the colony. We can do the deep dive into how this happened when we're back at starbase.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:46 PM

"Of course sir."

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:46 PM

Smiles And good work. You managed to not to create an intergalactic incident while they were aboard.

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 08:46 PM

You could really feel the tension with the Romulans on board. I was fascinated obviously, but others were on edge.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:47 PM

"I can be professional sir."

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:47 PM

Val> "There, 95th percentile." She smiles, then nods in acknowledgement to the commander. "Aye, making best speed away from the Romulan border."

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:47 PM

Rex> Sighs in relief at the command

 

Clark> Smirks and keeps watching the ops panel

 

Rhan K'hal 28-Feb-21 08:48 PM

(( checks the time "Still plenty of time for peril!" *munches more popcorn ))

 

Laehval tTemarr 28-Feb-21 08:48 PM

ACTION> A few moments later, the Talon cloaks and disappears from view.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:48 PM

Grins and keeps walking towards the lift

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:48 PM

((Don't give him ideas.))

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:48 PM

Rex> Talon has cloaked and is moving off towards Romulan space.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:49 PM

+Reynolds+ "Chocox to Reynolds."

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 08:50 PM

Irene> "Confirmed. The Romulans are not in pursuit."

 

CdrMirandaHawthorne 28-Feb-21 08:51 PM

Ens Reynolds> +Chocox+ Go ahead sir. ::There may or may have not been yelling in the background.::

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:51 PM

+Reynolds+ "I was going to ask what the status was on the power nodes, but do I need to go down there?"

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:51 PM

Takes the lift to Medical a few decks up, figuring he'd just cut out the middle man

Pokes his head into sickbay

 

CdrMirandaHawthorne 28-Feb-21 08:54 PM

Ens Reynolds> +Chocox+ No, we're all good here sir! Just... ah... finishing up. ::A multitude of curses.:: Shut it! I'm talking here! Sorry, sir... We're about halfway done with this deck. Any missing nodes are bypassed.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:54 PM

+Reynolds+ "What is going on down there?"

 

Maryse Dubois 28-Feb-21 08:54 PM

::Notices the door open.:: Ah Captain, welcome. I was just told you needed a status.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:55 PM

I was on my way back from engineering and thought I'd stop by instead. ::Smiling. He realized he'd never actually been in this version of Excalibur's sickbay::

 

Maryse Dubois 28-Feb-21 08:56 PM

::Nods.:: Understandable. Well, the vaccine is done. We just need to begin synthesis. As long as systems are stable, that shouldn't be a problem.

 

CdrMirandaHawthorne 28-Feb-21 08:57 PM

Ens Reynolds> +Chocox+ We're fine, sir! Everything is fine. How... how are you?

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:58 PM

William sighs heavily +Reynolds+ "I'm coming down. See you in a bit General Solo."

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:58 PM

Good. I'll let engineering know that as soon as warp drive is up and working to give you full power priority. Hopefully our delay won't have too drastic of consequences. As soon as we have restored long-range subspace, we'll need to contact the colony to let them know where we're at.

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 08:58 PM

"Lieutenant Lahl, you're in charge until I get back." William walks into the turbolift to head down to 16.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 08:59 PM

<< 2 Minute Warning >>

 

Maryse Dubois 28-Feb-21 08:59 PM

Very good.

 

CdrMirandaHawthorne 28-Feb-21 09:00 PM

Ens Reynolds> ::Frowns in confusion.:: I'm not solo. I've got other people down here with me. Heads up! The Chief is coming down! Look sharp. ::Hurries off to vent the shorted node he'd been working on.::

 

William Chocox 28-Feb-21 09:01 PM

William steps out of the turbolift as it chimes his arrival. He steps out and looks around to see what's going on.

 

Irene Mincine 28-Feb-21 09:01 PM

Val> "Our speed has increased to 1/24th impulse."

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 09:02 PM

Good work. Keep us updated if you need anything. ::Smiles:: I'll be on the bridge.

 

Maryse Dubois 28-Feb-21 09:03 PM

I will, Captain. Thank you.

 

Erich Jaenke, CEng 28-Feb-21 09:03 PM

How can I help you doctor? Not much counseling lately.

 

Captain Swain 28-Feb-21 09:04 PM

!Pause
