USS Arcadia - Wednesdays 10 ET - Command Staff: Captain Lo'Ami

Between 9/25/2024 9:04 PM and 9/25/2024 10:03 PM

Last time (2 weeks ago), the AT tried to escape through the vents

9:04 PM

(sus)

9:06 PM

I think you're split up between those going back and defending not-quite-dead-yet NPC and those venting

Sounds right

which way did we end up splitting? i think we were unclear on that

9:06 PM

or maybe just me

Natell and Joy w/dead guy

9:07 PM

Not sure where Dana is

I'm in the vent

ok, so everyone know where they are?

yup

i do now

9:08 PM

do we have natell today?

oh -- good question

9:08 PM

I thought I saw her.

9:09 PM

If not, she might find herself alone w/a corpse

true

Any sim-related qs before we start?

none here

ok then

9:12 PM

::clambering through vent::

::leading the vent-party::

9:13 PM

::is regretting not training more in the jeffries tubes::

vents> :: are filled with echos, animal poop of all sizes, ... ::

we will definitely require extra decontamination procedures when we get back on the ship

I think we needed that anyway.

9:16 PM

::is scanning to get a better view of the layout of the vents::

(( queue the Enterprise style decontamination scene ))

::trying to figure out if the echoes are of anything nearby::

vent system> :: is clearly larger then just this one vent ::

::still following the system of always choosing left until that stops working for her::

Up here we're going to want to keep going straight...the left branch goes back down.

vent> :: has some broken equipment in it ::

::takes a look at the equipment to see if it's anything interesting:: what do you think this was, Dana?

vent> :: broken equipment is filled with degraded filters ::

It's got some air filters in here...could be interesting for science to examine.

:: With the group ::

vent sounds> :: bang bang bang bang.... step step step... ::

((I think you're actually with the medical NPC and our dying NPC))

9:22 PM

Something's coming, heads up.

(( we can edit that if we want to ))

::has phaser ready, expecting more cats::

(I don't know what's going on)

((we are in the vents trying to find a way out))

((Remember when we were crawling through vents? Still that.))

Are we going with or against the air?

(( Dead body reported! ))

((lol))

against, since it is coming from outside. none of the machinery is active as far as our scans can tell

Any air movement is likely coming from outside, so going towards the breeze should help.

((jinx))

I hope this does not get any smaller.

ACTION> the back half of a small rodent-like mammal gets dislodged and falls down the vent

::shoots phaser upwards just in case::

9:31 PM

((still on stun))

ACTION> :: the other quarter of the small rodent is unaffected by the phaser on stun ::

:: the one-half rodent hits Natell in the arm :: Eee! Eww eww.

It's an EVA suit, it won't get on you...

They remind me of Voles

I guess whoever was eating that rodent did not stick around

::clamber...clamber...clamber...::

ACTION> the vent ahead is collapsed about 1m from a grate that leads to the surface

I can see light from the surface!

Through a collapsed vent...

maybe we can clear enough debris to get through?

A wide-spread phaser on maximum power could probably clear that out for you.

Let's get out of here then.

::adjusts the phaser setting to spread and maximum power, hopes the less murderous cats are smart enough to get out of the way::

9:41 PM

::makes sure the others are staying behind her before she starts::

9:41 PM

ready?

Ready.

::fires::

ACTION> the phaser opens up a hole. there's now a 1m gap between the AT and the surface

You've got a bat'leth for a reason, right?

that I do.

9:44 PM

::turns phaser back to stun::

I mean, pulling us out of here.

::tries to snag the bat'leth on the grate::

((what remains of the grate, I guess))

grate> :: is quite rusted ::

i'm not sure it will hold our weight

Something up there will have to

9:48 PM

We could give you a boost from down here, then you reach back and pull us out when you've got a firm footing.

that could work.

9:50 PM

i am ready to try when you are

9:50 PM

i'll need both of you to lift me

I'm ready when you are.

Ready here

::braces himself and lifts Arizhel out of the end of the vent::

::gets ready to grab something above to lift herself out::

(( well?))

::grabs a sturdy looking handhold::

9:55 PM

::pulls herself up::

::is very relieved::

::is outside again::

OK, now you should be able to help the two of us out.

which of you is better at climbing? I think whoever that is should go last

I'm an engineer and she's a scientist.

9:56 PM

Neither of us is exactly a soldier.

whoever can lift the other goes last

9:56 PM

::is leaning over, ready to pull out the others::

(( which of you is lighter?))

::lifts Natell out while keeping himself braced::

::grabs natell and helps pull her up::

:: Gets out of the hole ::

::leans back over to grab Dana::

((and...))

::pulls himself up on Arizhel's arm::

:: Gets clear so the others can be pulled up ::
