Lieutenant Jg. Garnoopy Personal Log

Stardate 50301.14

 

:: sighs ::

 

Today has not been one of my better days it seems. We couldn’t beam up the away team from the surface, leaving them trapped in enemy hands. The doctor, Ensign Suberance was a good man, I can only hope he survives, though I don’t know what this Colonel Kurtz will do. I never knew Colonel Eason, but she apparently probably knew what she was doing, though with them being trapped and all :: pauses :: I can’t be sure.

 

I assigned Ensign Ganner, one of the two new Engineering assistants to work with science to get through that annoying dampening field that is keeping us from beaming up the away team. I’m truly hoping that we can get the crewmembers in time, it would not be a good day if we lost them.

 

:: shakes head, clearing thoughts ::

 

Anyways, I believe if we can get the right frequency modulation, we can fly a shuttle down and beam them out of their captor’s hands. The Manticore could never get close enough, unless we shut down the entire dampening field, which might be possible, but I doubt that will happen. Unless of course science and Ganner come up with a better solution, I certainly hope they do.

 

Apparently, the Commodore is preparing to send a shuttle down at some point, the Griffin. Unfortunately, the Griffin hadn’t been tested yet after its near complete reconstruction. Lt. Jg. Precip, Ensign McFly, and myself went to test her out. Apparently, Ensign McFly is new to security, and from what I can tell, knows nothing about piloting a shuttle.

 

While I preformed the checklist, McFly attempted to take the shuttle up and out with Precip supervising, he has no idea what he is doing. He couldn’t figure out where any of the alert status buttons were, and definitely showed us the inertial dampers were working when he flipped the shuttle around several times. He also managed to fire phasers accidentally, which I don’t know how you could do. Thankfully, I removed his control of the weapon systems before he did any damage to anything. Oh, and top that off with he didn’t even wanna test the shuttle out, he wanted to go and have coffee. Talk about loyalty to crewmen who need his help.

 

The shuttle is in peak performance, transporters work wonderfully. Like I said, if we get close enough with a shuttle, remodulate the signal beam to the right frequency, we can beam the crewmen out hopefully. It’ll require some pretty precise transporter work, but it can be done. And since the shuttle is in peak performance, and I repaired her, I know everything on it will work out wonderfully.

 

:: stretches ::

 

Currently, Precip, McFly, and myself are on our way back to the Manticore to dock and see what Lt. Cmdr. Roget and Commodore A9 want to be done to get the away team back, I hope whatever we do, we do it soon.
