Host Lea says:
Summary: DCT and HRT teams continue to take the Marauder apart in search of answers.
Host SMLea says:
~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~Begin Mission: USS Andromeda "Safe Passage" 1108.27~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT1>::Continues tinkering away at the cloaking device, searching for any clue to its origins to try to get the Captain off his back::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::brings up a nav charts and beings searching for any links in a 4ly radius of their current position::
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2>*XO*: DCT2 reporting, Andromeda.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*DCT2* Go ahead.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::still going through the Marauder's sensor logs trying to figure if the Duderon particle build up was an effect of the cloaking device, or something else::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Anything interesting uncovered yet?
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2>*XO*: We've been working in the cargo by where the Captain was held, Sir. Biological samples have been sent to sickbay, and intensive scans of Davs' last location taken. We're forwarding the data to science now.  Also, most of the bay has been modified - entire walls ripped out and rebuilt in the new alloy.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::pokes at the console with a frown:: XO: I think my theory about the Duderon and cloaking device connection is mistaken.  My current theory is that the Duderon production is a by-product of their power generator.
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2>*XO*: The room was originally rectangular in shape. Meaning, the nicely hexagonal force field configuration was also aftermarket. They are insanely powerful Forcefields, Commander. I'd estimate, from the control panel here, something equivalent to a level 25 force field on our systems...but that's just a guess.
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2>*XO*: I've got a couple guys backtracking the power couplings to the force field systems now.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Can you estimate how long their generator needs to be active in one spot to build up a noticeable level of Duderon particles? Is there a Duderon wake we can maybe track back?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*DCT2* I assume all this technology that isn't known to any Starfleet database?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::Brings up the Andromeda's sensor logs and looks for a Duderon surge at the point when the transporter system was activated
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2>*XO*: Never seen it before, Commander. Someone outside our neighbourhood.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*DCT2* Keep at it and see what you can find. I'd like to know if all these power couplings are going back to the one place or were there multiple power supplies on that ship.
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2>*XO*: Understood, Commander. DCT2 out.
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT1b>*DCT1*: Sir, we found what we think is the power supply. Deck 3. That, or a giant popcorn popper.
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT1>*DCT1b*: On my way.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::brings up the ships maintenance logs for any reference on when the cargo bay was retrofitted::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CSO: It looks like the ship's power levels and mass fluctuated for about 2 months from the date Davs took control. I assume this was when all the funky technology was installed.
Host SMLea says:
@<OPS>*CSO*: Uh, Ensign...?
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2>*XO*: Commander!
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*DCT2* Go ahead
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT1>*XO*: Command--- ::Cuts himself off as she sees DCT2 on the line::
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2/1>::In sync:: *XO*: We found it!
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
*Ops* go ahead
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*DCT1/2* Found what?
Host SMLea says:
@<OPS>*CSO*: We, uh...think we found the power supply. Apparently we each tracked power couplings from a different system, and they, um... Well, they all led to this.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
*OPS* Can you feed us a visual sensor reading from your tricorder?
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT1>*XO*: Granted, it looks like some sort of household appliance in a giant's household, more than a power supply...
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2>*XO*: And it's heavily damaged...Looks like fire from the Andromeda caused a lot of overloads. This thing must've been pumping out an awful lot of juice to be powering those three systems.
Host SMLea says:
@<OPS>*CSO*: Um...I'll try to do that, Sir. Er, Ma'am. --Ensign.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*DCT2* Start grabbing all the data you can and send it to the CSO
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2>*XO*: Understood, Sir.  Beginning to transmit.
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT1>*XO*: But Commander...this thing isn't native Ferengi tech, And it isn't very thoroughly integrated...just anchored and jacked to the power couplings.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*DCT1* Like someone duct taped in this giant power supply to power their fancy toys?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::forwards the data from the console to the view screen while she tries to understand the engineering side of it, knowing that she doesn’t quite get it::
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: The Andromeda's view screen flickers to life. A large ovoid crystalline containment capsule, streaked with battle damage, rests upon a truncated hexagonal control pedestal composed of the same bluish-gray alloy found newly integrated throughout the ship. As the tricorder shifts, a rupture in the top of the crystalline surface is revealed.
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT1>*XO*: Pretty much, yeah.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Doesn't look easy to fix does it?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::begins looking over the construction of the crystalline capsule trying to determine from the growth patterns if it was natural or artificial:: XO: If you say so, sir.
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT2>*XO*: Looks like we've accounted for all the power couplings, Sir. This thing powered the Forcefields, transporter, and cloak, apparently exclusively.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*DCT2* Ok good job. We'll analyze the data back here
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
XO: Whatever the crystal structure was artificially produced, and... *DCTs/OPS* Check for force field emitters in the vicinity of the damage.
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: A light flashes at the OPS console.
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Matthews>::Checks the comms::
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Matthews>XO: Commander, I'm picking up a broadband distress call.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Put it through
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Matthews> XO: Yes Sir. Audio only.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Try locate the source while you're at it
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::focuses the Andromeda’s sensors momentarily on the room the DCTeams are in then while it is collecting data she activates long range sensors along the direction of the inbound distress call::
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: The message plays through intermittent static: "...don't know what they wa--zzzzz--n't know how to stop th--zzzz--ease, help us! Our coordinates are 1023--zzzz......This is Corinth, of th--zzzzzz---der attack! We can't see th--zzzz--ting us with their weapons, every ten--zzz--don't know what they wa--zzzzz--n't know how to stop th--zzzz
Host SMLea says:
--ease, help us! Our coordinates are 1023--zzzz."  The message continues to repeat.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Run the name Corinth through any registration databases. Try locate the source of that transmission
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::starts a computer search of the Federation registry, for the ship name Corinth::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
XO: Long range sensors paint the message source at a half light year away, well within established trade lanes.  We are the closest Starfleet vessel, sir.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::opens up the search to non-registered Starfleet encountered vessels::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Red alert
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Set a course for that location, maximum warp.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
XO: Sir, at warp 9.3 we are 3 hours away from the source, feeding information to helm.  Should I signal the away team to return?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*DCT1/2* We're responding to a distress call, keep looking through the ship for any clues. We'll be back
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
XO: May I suggest leaving a shuttle for the...::remembers the shuttle that the captain took over still docked at the marauder:: XO: Never mind.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CSO: They can stay and keep looking and make sure nobody touches it.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Engage!
Host SMLea says:
@<DCT1>::Looks over at the glistening power supply with a gleam in his eyes::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::checks the course again and looks at the XO for a moment then shrugs and forwards the 'engage' command to the helm console.::
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: The USS Andromeda jumps to warp, leaving the Marauder - and over a dozen brave souls -  behind.
Host SMLea says:
~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~Pause Mission: "Safe Passage" - Time Lapse: 2 hours, 50 minutes~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~
