USS Paula Greene, 10609.12
SM_Jack says:
Mission # 176 , Blue Moon Part 4
SM_Jack says:
Summary: The USS Paula Greene was heading to Berengaria VII with a supply of antidote for the Tsiolkovsky Infection.  However she was attacked, the medical supplies were stolen.  The Paula Greene's crew has completed the repairs to the engines and are giving chase.

CTO_Tah says:
::looks through the decrypted PADD again::
CMO_Tovarski says:
::On the bridge, standing behind the command chairs::
SM_Jack says:
ACTION: A green light illuminates on the CTO's console.
CTO_Tah says:
::looks down at his console::
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Any idea what who's supposed to be in command right now?
CTO_Tah says:
::smiles:: Self: I see you
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: Lieutenant down you know how to fly a starship?
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: That might not be such a great idea... I haven't exactly passed the requisite courses... for command or flight control
CTO_Tah says:
::looks around and notices that the XO and CO are not around:: CMO: I guess me
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: What are you qualified to do besides medical?
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Besides write poetry and short stories? I can cook a pretty mean leg of lamb.
CTO_Tah says:
::transfers flight controls to his console and input an intercept course::
CTO_Tah says:
::smiles:: CTO: Well I guess when we have some prisoners you could cook for them
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Something like that. I probably could take OPS for now.
CTO_Tah says:
Computer: Informed the CO and XO that they are required on the bridge
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: Please do
CMO_Tovarski says:
::moves over to the OPS console... noticing the myriad of red blinking lights on the console::
SM_Jack says:
<COMPUTER>: CTO: Unable ... to ... comply.
CTO_Tah says:
Computer: Explain
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: What those power levels I'm going to increase speed to warp 8
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Will do, try not to turn us into atomic dust or anything.
CTO_Tah says:
::starts to increase speed to warp 8::
SM_Jack says:
<COMPUTER>: CTO: Possessing ... speed ... decreased ... accessing ... data.
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: Well that would put an end to my career won't it
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Uh did you bust the ship?
CMO_Tovarski says:
::watches the power levels drop dramatically::
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: No engineering is working on the computer
CTO_Tah says:
*Engineering*: The computer is running slow again. What’s going on down there?
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: I see... ::disbelief evident in her voice::
SM_Jack says:
<COMPUTER> CTO: The ... Captain ... and ... Executive ... officer ... are ... in ... a ... conference...
CMO_Tovarski says:
::doesn't want to know what that means::
CTO_Tah says:
Computer: Yellow alert
CTO_Tah says:
COM: CoinSilver: CoinSilver this is the USS Paula Greene drop out of warp and prepare to be boarded
CMO_Tovarski says:
::ponders a thought of the CTO boarding the enemy vessel with an unpowered phaser on accident... and chuckles::
CMO_Tovarski says:
::keeps an eye on the OPS Console::
CTO_Tah says:
*Engineering*: Engineering home much more can I squeeze out of the engines?
SM_Jack says:
<EO_Smith> *CTO*: We're working on it, really the best way to get processor speed back up would be to cut out that decryption.
CMO_Tovarski says:
::keeps an eye on the power levels, and notices that the CoinSilver has yet to respond to the hails::
SM_Jack says:
<EO_Smith> *CTO* I wouldn't push her much further, the warp coils are still a bit iffy.
CTO_Tah says:
Computer: How much longer for the decryption?
SM_Jack says:
<COMPUTER> *CTO* Unable... to ... determine.
SM_Jack says:
ACTION: A warning light shows on the OPS display
CTO_Tah says:
::rubs his chin and wonders what to do::
CMO_Tovarski says:
Self: Uhoh ::looks at the light::
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Should I be worried about a red blinking light on my console?
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: That was a rhetorical question. It seems the sensor feeds aren't updating properly. I'm inputting the fix now.
CTO_Tah says:
::moves over to the OPS console::
CMO_Tovarski says:
::fiddles with the sensor input systems::
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: Are we receiving false data?
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Not sure... ::tries adjusting the input setting to a faster refresh and a smaller range gate::
CTO_Tah says:
::moves back to his console:: CMO: Let me know when you’re done
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: When the lights go dark, I'm done
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: Lights go dark?
CMO_Tovarski says:
::mutters something::
CMO_Tovarski says:
::Notices that the time stamp on the data isn't right:: Self: hmmmmm
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: It would seem that the computer isn't processing data properly...
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Perhaps something is eating processing speed? Say... a decryption algorithm?
SM_Jack says:
ACTION: Both the CTO and CMO begin to notice that the time between when their fingers touch the buttons and the implantation of the commands is increasing slowly
CTO_Tah says:
Computer: Stop decryption algorithm
SM_Jack says:
<Computer> CTO: Confirm ... termination ... of ... decryption ... algorithm?
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: Is the sensors working correctly now?
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Try confirming the request, and we'll see
CTO_Tah says:
Computer: Confirmed terminated now
SM_Jack says:
ACTION: The view screen blanks to the factory preset, a blindingly blue screen.
SM_Jack says:
<COMPUTER> CTO: Process...terminated
SM_Jack says:
ACTION: The view screen comes back up slowly and the warning light goes out on the OPS console
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Did the computer just crash? Or was I imagining it?
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: I have no idea
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Right then... ::goes back to her console::
CTO_Tah says:
::looks down at the sensor readings and the timestamp on them
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Looks like we're back to normal
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: Agreed
CTO_Tah says:
::looks for the CoinSilver::
SM_Jack says:
<EO_Smith> *CTO*: Whatever you did just freed up the computer.
CTO_Tah says:
*EO*: Understood
CTO_Tah says:
CMO: We should be in weapons range of the Coinsilver within an hour
CMO_Tovarski says:
CTO: Good... I think
