= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1250, STARDATE 52312.25 = starfleet

= The Manticore-B has just finished her shakedown cruise and is sitting at Starbase -REDACTED- preparing to receive its new PK module when word came around that an assassination attempt on the Federation President happened on the moon. Everyone was dispatched to the scene except Manticore as she continues to wait for her module. Meanwhile, Kansas, on her new assignment as head of Presidential security, escorted the Federation President to a diplomatic summit on the lunar colony. While giving his speech she noticed a sniper in the rafters and saved the President from an untimely demise. She then chased after the attacker but ended up killing him instead of retrieving any information. Faldek and Gila are now a year into an undercover assignment on Cardassia. The purpose of which the crew has not been notified of. They've met up with Edvenent to search for -REDACTED-. However, Cardassian command has seen fit for them to be sent to new assignments and disrupting their undercover mission. = starfleet

ACTION> ON MANTICORE A PRIORITY ONE COMM IS COMING IN OVER SUPER SECRET FREQUENCY (edited)

::looking at the comm::

9:09 PM

::to McFly:: Captain, Priority one communique coming in on a unfamiliar channel...

::stands up grabbing his stuff, heads to the airlock, waiting for the transport to finish docking::

At least unfamiliar to me.

::taps on her panel:: (edited)

::gets up and walks over to Pilot's console to see what it is; his eyes widen:: Ooh, that's the, they don't want anyone to know there's a comm going out, comm. Damn, I wonder if this is about the President. Route to the ready room.

:::Double checks the Prez one more time::

Aye. ::routes to ready room::

:: Raised an eyebrow as he can't help but overhear thanks to his ears, tapping away at Ops ::

::enters and sits at his desk; types in his command codes and Jaffee pops up:: Admiral, must be something big for you to call me on here.

9:13 PM

((by the way, I hope you guys were able to read my log even though I sent it out stupid late.

))

SF-CSI> ::Pull up in the black hoover cars::

::checks her PADD and checks FNN for any updates::

9:13 PM

(yes, I read it)

((I was looking through it))

Kansas Kenickie (Moon)

SF-CSI> ::Pull up in the black hoover cars::

(i bet they suck)

(gah....I need to read that )

::exits the transport and heads into the shipyard's command center:: (edited)

SFI Vehicle ( Moon ) > :: arrives behind CSC Vehicle ::

Captain, we have a problem. A couple of hours ago, the convoy transporting Manticore's PK module went dark.

SF-CSI> ::all in black and have sunglasses on::

We saw that. We sent tried to inquire about it but seems everyone was occupied.

::moves to get a raktajino refill::

:::Curses::

9:17 PM

::Fakes smiles to the CSI Peeps:: (edited)

9:17 PM

We have everything under control here

Yes. The assassination attempt on the President has everyone running overtime here. Unfortunately we didn't notice it. All comms to their last known location have been met with silence. And unfortunately, all ships in the area have been diverted to Earth, except yours.

Understood. Do you think this is realated?

::moves back to Tactical and sits down, sipping his drink savoring the taste::

Unknown right now. SFI is at the scene right now but little in the way of motive has turned up. That attacker is dead. (edited)

KARL> ::Sniffs EJ:::

:: Enters the medical center. This was all home, but it sure did not feel like it. ::

SFI Agent Borsh> :: exits his car and walks behind CSI ::

::pops Karl:: Don't sniff Commanders.

1

Not terribly surprised by that one. Alright, we'll head out as soon as we get our new C-Ops crew aboard.

Hello Agent.... Commander Kenickie I am lead on the Presendents detail (edited)

Captain. I can't emphasize enough how dangerous it would be for that weapon to fall into the wrong hands. You must get it back.

We will.

9:22 PM

::McFly watches the screen turn to the Federation seal::

:: Finds whoever is in charge, and reports in ::

SFI Agent Borsh> :: stops briefly informs CSI to proceed with their work and give him with a report. Next he turns his attention to Kansas :::

:: Taps away at Ops ::

Borsh ( Moon) > Tell me what you know Commander.

:::Still fake smiling::

9:24 PM

There was a sniper up in the rafters, ::Points:: I noticed him and removed the Preseident out of the line of fire

Borsh> :: tall human in his 40s...with an unsavory mustache ::

::wonders why the ship is no longer pinging::

I then processed to give chase after the shooter

::reclines in her seat, after reading the news acticle of the assassination attempt::

Borsh> :: immediately looks over to the deceased ...under a tarp and now just being looked at by CSI ::

We went through the promenade then to the transport port

9:26 PM

I grabbed a gentmens cane and tripped up the shooter and tacked him down (edited)

((Is Bren here?))

::looks at Karl:: Karl what is your last name anyway?

:: Turns to Violet :: "You don't have to keep so close to me."

he gave up a good fight but I took him down in the end

((i messaged him twice))

KARL> Klink

Captain McFly

((Is Bren here?))

((I was wondering the same thing))

"It's alright. My studies have included all of your space technologies."

::diverts from the command center and drops his things off in his guest quarters::

:: Talking with the Commander of the Intell Complex ::

::looks at Karl:: Interesting, and you're a security officer. Fitting.

Borsh> Did the assassin take take his own life?

:: Doing Ops things at Ops ::

::steps out of the RR and walks over to Pilot:: Get security prepared. Someone stole our module and we'll be on our way to get it back.

No it was strange, I tacked him down and hit him once and his head cracked open like an egg (edited)

::shakes his head:: We can't have nice things can we.

::overhears, that's not good::

Doesn't seem so.

:: Eyebrow raised again at the mention of the module being stolen ::

::heads out to begin his official investigation, but also his real mission, begins looking around the shipyard::

((::pokes Bren::))

Mr Harnett, we have some new crew coming aboard. Stationed in our new Cetacean Ops deck. Are they ready to beam over?

Borsh> :: upon listening to Kansas' answer he looks down to the ground for a few seconds then back up to Kansas :: How the the Assassin get into the event Commander?

::alerts security to be at yellow alert status until further notice::

::perks up:: I hope they're okay after their transport.

:: Getting the lay of the facility> She knew no one and no one knew her ::

::Taps at his console :: They are ready for transport, Captain.

Unknown, we had tripled forces and everyone one was thumbed scanned before entering the area

+All Depts+ Check in.

Science is all green.

+Pilot+ "Engineering here."

SF-CSI> :::Taking stills and covering the body with a silver tarp:::

::excited about the new Cetacean OPS crew. Finally being able to put her background in Marine Biology and cetacean life to good use::

::finds the work area for the individual he's investigating and heads to his work area::

Borsh> :: gestures to his Aide who approaches his side :: I want everyone at that press conference interviewed....everyone. I don't care who the hell they were either....or where they think they are going....no one leaves the moon.... noone. I want this place locked up tight.

::looks at McFly:: All decks checked in. We're ready to party at your command sir.

Borsh> :: dismisses his aide ::

Very good. Transport them directly to C-Ops.

Aye, sir.

Borsh> I presume you have a list of the attendees. Commander?

::does his sneaky sneaking and watches the individual, but looking like he's supposed to be where he is::

::Turns to Annika:: Commander, shall we meet our new crew?

:: Taps away at Ops, energizing the transporter :: Transport complete, Captain.

::transports into the shiny new CetOPS:: Sure am glad to get out of that box....

Yes, let's go sir.

of course ::Hands him a PADD:: It includes all personnel working

Ja, that trip was too long

Pilot, you have the bridge. We'll head out as soon as the new crew is situated.

::gets up from her seat::

::nods::

::Gets into the TL with Annika:: Cetacean Ops. ::the doors close and they're wisked away::

::moves to the CC and sits down:: it's going to be a long day...

Borsh> :: gestures to his second aide ...who promptly secures a copy of the list with her tricorder...after that he returns the PADD to Kansas ::

:::Peeks under the tarp:: Cracked just like an egg...... I didn't even put my full force into it

:: Looks back at E.J. :: Indeed, Commander.

::exploring CetOPS with Inga, and stretches their fins::

:: gestures to his third aide :: I want transporter inhibiters here ASAP....I don't want the body to just beam out.....

::still in the TL:: Obviously we have a bit of a crisis at the moment. But once we move out, feel free to work with Tevek on getting the cetacean crew into the medical system.

Borsh> :: gestures to Kansas in the direction of the body of the assailant :: walk with me Commander...

::has entered into the person who is being investigateds, logs, checking for anomalies and secret codes in correspondence while surveiling him::

:: Leaves the commanders office and heads out into the Intel Complex ::

I will sir. Hopefully it won't take long for them to settle in.

::Hands behind her back, walks with him::Sir

::looks at Sanchez:: Be prepared to head out when the Captain says so..

::nods:: Aye Commander.

:: to Harnett:: Indeed is right.

Ja, finally nice to have some space and not endure your smelly fish breath.

Well if this guy is dirty, i might not find it in here... ::to himself::

:: Raised his eyebrow as he turned back to Ops ::

You are the one with smelly fish breath, stinky.

1

Borsh> While I am sure the President and many others appreciate the fact you saved the President's life....this was a major breach of Presidential Security. I believe you would agree with me on this.

You're stinky.

::swimming around her new work area:: Oh I just can't wait to learn what kind features this spec ops ship has to forcing our enemies to their knees. ::squeaks with excitement::

1

I the Breach would be in the Lunar security system

((Stinky lol))

::and Inga, both with strong Swedish Pewdiepie accents::

::crosses his legs and sips his beverage, monitoring from the CC arm computer::

::heads off to another part of the shipyard::

::grabs a sonar tricorder from a supply locker once they exit the lift::

::McFly and Annik arrive on deck; they head into C-Ops:: Sure smells seawatery in here.

Yeah, that fresh, new seawater smell.

"Everyone on the ship is on edge."

The Moon was supposed to secure all humanouds that transported onto the moomn

"Yeah, I can really sense it too."

::walks up to the window of CetOPS at the new cetacean crew::

:: Hears E.J. sipping his drink ::

And your air smells of human sweat and flatulence!

1

Borsh> :: arrives with Kansas a few feet from CSI doing their work with the dead assailant. :: This body hopefully will provide us answers.

I would like to know why he broke like glass

That's Captain sweat to you.

((drugs are bad mmkay))

1

Borsh> Witness statements will verify that Commander...

Cdr. Faldek/Khott (Cardassia)

((drugs are bad mmkay))

https://tenor.com/bcb9z.gif

:: Checks on a few things at the Intel Complex ::

Let's see how you fared after your trip. ::begins to scan them with her sonar tricorder, which is able to scan through the transparent aluminum window as she checks their bio signs::

How long until we can take the Preseidnet off the moon and back to Earth.. or atleast him ship

Borsh>:: turns to Kansas :: I suggest your return to your charge Commander.

::sees a door marked sensitive area, "authorized personnel only":: I wonder... ::approaches the door and attempts entry::

Ja, that took way longer than it should have. Now I know vat a sardine feels like.

:;replies in Swedish:: I feel ya there, spending a year on a friggin' Oberth.

::lets out a very light burp::

Nein! Humans think they're so smart. If dat is the case, zen why do cetaceans make up forty percent of ze scientists from Earth?!

:: Raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at Sanchez ::

::to McFly:: Their bio signs are all stable. A bit tired and stiff from the transport, but after some fish and rest they should be fine.

::looks at Sanchez:: Oh, no.

Cardassian Security> ::approaches Khott and asks for identification and states that this area is off limits::

and with no credit. It's all about the hoomans, ja?

::::Taps PADD:::

::looks at Harnett, smiles:: It was only a little one.

Borsh> Who am I to interfere with the Office of the President? SFI is going to have to write a report about this incident and write a recommendation to the Office of the President.

:: Eyebrow was still up :: Right....

Mmm, I am famished. I could go for an early supper myself.

::on the CC arm computer, increases recirculation fans::

::nods to Annika:: Alright, I'll have Pilot send us out

Understood :::Head back to the Presenident:::

I apologize, I'm Gul Khott. It's my first time on this shipyard, just trying to find my way around. I'm conducting an investigation with the Bureau of Competence and Duty.

McFly +Pilot+ We're all good down here. Harnett should have a set of coordinates. Take us out.

:: Turns back to his console, hearing the fans speed up :: Thank you, E.J.

+McFly+ Aye Captain.

:::Grumbles about black suit wareing trolls::: (edited)

Borsh> But I think your days of providing security to the Federation President are numbered. There will be repercussions from my final report.

From this console here, we can release some fish and seals for our cetacean crew. Plankton readings already look good. ::releases a school of fish and two small seals for the orcas:: There you go,,,

Mr. Harnett, you have the coordinates at the ready.

But I saved him!

Cardassian Security> Well this area is still off limits, however I will show you how to get back to the common area, follow me. ::he heads off with Faldek following him, feeling quite defeated::

:: Taps away at Ops :: I do, sir, sending to Mr. Sanchez..

Very good.

::Hands her PADD off to someone else::

hej, tak. (thanks). ::he and Inga go after the seals::

+Comm+ Manticore to Starbase <redacted> Permission to disembark?

::to himself, whilst following the security person:: I guess I'll just have to do a deep dive into my subjects logs and such in my quarters...

If it's okay with you sir, I'd like to stay behind for awhile and do a full check up on them.

Borsh> :: steps closer to Kansas :: Did you not here me correctly? I'm just conducting an investigation, I don't make the decision to remove personnel...but based on my experience....security breaches are not looked favoroably upon by the office of the President. And there was on here. The President is YOUR charge Commander...not Lunar Security or any other apparatus.

I do not work for fish! I will not be treated like ze seal who you reward with food! ::does flips in the water:: See dat! See dat! I do trick now you gives ze fish! Nein! I am a brilliant scientist! I will not be treated like a common amusement park side show!

:::Turns and walks away from the suits::

SB Redacted> +Comm+ Manticore you're granted permission to disembark..

:::Enters the building and over to the Prez:: Sir... we can leave when ever you are ready

Borsh> :: shakes his head and returns to the CSI crew looking at the Corpse ::

::raises an eyebrow as he looks on at Backpfeifengesicht:: Do you want a fish or not?

Of course I want ze fish!

::eats a seal:: Eh.. I'm not von to turn down free food.

James Ryan> :: nods to Kansas as she arrives ::

:: Taps at Ops :: Umbilicals retracted, sir.

::to Sanchez:: get us underway and engage at warp 5 once we're clear of the station.

:::Looks at Ryan:: I think I am taking the blame for this mess... it's been nice working with you

::enters his quarters and sits down at the computer terminal, bringing up all the information on his subject::

::turns and looks at Annika:: I mean if you really want to stay down here with them that's on you. ::smirks::

:;releases another large salman::

::taps on the console, moving us away from the station::

::smiles:: yeah, i'll be fine.

James Ryan> The guy beamed in Ma`am. The Perp had help we did not see.

::engages at warp 5 to the coordinates specified::

Alright, I'm back at the bridge. ::turns to walk out::

:: Walks to an office he was assigned ::

::nods::

:: Making no noise as she wanders about the medical facility. Operations are nothing like Starfleet. Ethics take on a different tone here. ::

:: Taps away at Ops ::

Wait a minute! You promised ze fish!

Give your statement to the Suits... I didn't see the beam in.. but it must just have causght my eye

::looks through the tank and scans the cetaceans:: Yeah, here go you... ::releases more fish into the tank::

Nothing from me, nice work with the NPC's and keeping track

A face in need of a fist...

So I don't really want to make TBS 12 hours. So let's fudge it and say two? Anyone besides Faldek have a problem with that?

::twiddles thumbs::

sounds good to me

Sounds okay to me.

enough time for consumption of Kanar

I mean I can make it 12 if we really want to.

Hopefully we get the drop on those folks who stole our

Just keep Sanchez from burping any more, and I'll be happy!

Sounds ok to me

Captain McFly

So I don't really want to make TBS 12 hours. So let's fudge it and say two? Anyone besides Faldek have a problem with that?

Alright then, two hours. We'll just assume we hit a subspace etty or something along the way.

Oh joy

nice

gnight folks must jet..merry christmas

yes, merry christmas!

Merry Christmas

Or I can just magic edit and say they were 5 hours away but we have better warp engines so it only takes up two hours to get there.

lol

Alright, anyway, questions or comments? Aside from our festivus greetings?

NIte Peeps, Merry Christma

Night

Nope, time to watch Billions.

Oh, and if anyone is interested in playing a cetacean NPC just let me know.

10:07 PM

Alright, if nothing else then it will be next year before we all come together again. Try not to get hit in the face with a firework!... DISMISSED!!!

Nite everyone!

10:08 PM

McFly

Goodnight!!

later dudes

Night.

So I had the log posted on the website and I edited it to say their ETA is 5 hours instead of 12.
