Host SMLea says:
@Summary: Aboard the Science Station Gehmohr, the Andromeda away team is scattered. Ivara is still in Astrometrics with Martinis; McQuade continues to romance Meekin. And Ensign Fox and Meklin converse about their people and pasts, whilst Commander Power, unescorted, begins his search for the elusive Section 11.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: Meanwhile, on the Andromeda, Captain Knight waits pensively.
Host SMLea says:
~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~Begin USS Andromeda Mission: "Safe Passage" 11112.03~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
::Listens to Meklin as they walk::
Host Martinis says:
<Meklin>CTO: So, if I may ask, why did you choose to join Starfleet, Ensign Foxx of the USS Andromeda?
Host Martinis says:
CSO: I can tell you this much, though. As far as we have been able to tell, it doesn't exist in nature.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::frowns somewhat and nods:: Martinis: I'm sure you understand that I will have to try to find it from the Andromeda.
Host Martinis says:
CSO: Please, feel free to try. ::Nods:: And I'd be glad to download a full record of the path we detected, for your review.
YEO_Crew_Eldin says:
@::Sitting at a desk in the administrative offices of the Andromeda, compiling the day's minor paperwork::
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
Melkin:  My people, the people I come from€¦ a sub-sect of Terrance€¦ we believe in a concept called Ubuntu€¦. one peoples.  What affects one of us affects us all.  My family had a tradition of warriors.  So€¦ my talents are as such.  I try and keep people safe from harm by martial means.
YEO_Crew_Eldin says:
@::Loads all of the captain's mail and internal memos to a secure PADD, then uses his tabletop computer to check on the location of Captain Knight::
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
Melkin: and you?  What prompted you to be a scientist?  Surely, there are other professions that are required for societal sustainment.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::nods again:: Martinis: I, and my captain appreciate that.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Walks with Meekin through the corridors nearing her quarters.::
Host Martinis says:
<Meekin>::Considerably less reserved at this point, perhaps something she had to drink at their meal influencing that, she arrives at the door of her quarters:: CEO: And here we are.  ::Smiles, as she presses her hand to the security panel and the doors slide open::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::smiles again and shakes her head slightly:: Martinis: Of the experiments that you can share, what do you find the most exciting?
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Roaming around, looking, getting a general feel for things.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Looks at the quarters as the door slides open.::  Meekin:  They don't keep you too far from your work do they.  ::Smiles.::
Host Martinis says:
::Smiles with that glow of pleasure and excitement always apparent on a scientist's face when they discuss their favorite pet project:: CSO: Oh, the nebula construction is my project...It was my ticket to Gehmohr station, too.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::looks curious:: Martinis: How so? They only allow scientists on the station who have an ongoing project?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@:: The last of the gear stowed, she does a last mental review of her check list.::
Host Martinis says:
<Melkin> CTO: Oh yes, it's true. However, in our society, the scientist's profession is the most honorable. For the sacrifice involved, we enjoy special privileges amongst our people. And those who sacrifice the comforts of living on home world receive that much more honor when - or if - they return home.
YEO_Crew_Eldin says:
@::Standing with the PADD, he makes his way out of the offices, down the corridor toward the turbolift, and entering, orders it to deck six::
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
Melkin:  Do not all professions€¦ i.e.  jobs which society holds an expectation of service to for fill a specific duty benefitting the whole€¦ have sacrifice, and honor?
Host Martinis says:
ACTION: Lights within, and across, Gehmohr flicker for a moment.
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
::stops, looks up and around€¦ then back at Melkin::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pauses and looks from the quarters to the lighting in the corridor.::  Meekin:  What was that?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::in the holodeck....still collecting his thoughts.
Host Martinis says:
::Nods:: CSO: As expansive as the station may seem, its facilities are still limited. Only those whose projects are deemed worthy of Gehmohr resources, or who have proven ability to contribute significantly to an existing project, are permitted a position aboard the station.
Host Martinis says:
<Meklin> CTO: Yes, bu--  ::Looks around the room as well, tilting her head:: CTO: Hm. That is unusual.
YEO_Crew_Eldin says:
@::Arrives outside the holodeck, and tugging on his uniform jacket just so, reaches up and taps his combadge::  *CO*:  Yeoman Eldin to Captain Knight.  I have today's paperwork and correspondence.  ::Folds his hands behind his back::
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
::calm, warm::  Melkin:  Friend, unusual how?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@*YEO*:  Feel free to enter Eldin.
Host Martinis says:
ACTION: After a full minute of "Normal," the lights begin to flicker once more. This time, the flickering does not stop.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pulls out his tricorder and begins scanning.::  Meekin:  What is causing the power fluxuations?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::ignores the flickering light:: Martinis: I see, ::sets up her tricorder to download the map:: Martinis: How long have you been aboard?
YEO_Crew_Eldin says:
@::Presses the button on the holodeck controls and waits for the big doors to grind open, then steps inside the holodeck::
Host Martinis says:
<Meekin> ::Looks around, as the lights begin to flicker again, and her eyes light upon a chronometer inside her quarters::  CEO: Ah-- Here. Let's check.  ::Grabs McQuade by the shoulders, pulling his lips to hers, and kisses him squarely, pulling him back into her quarters in the motion::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ *CO*:  Items are prepared for departure.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Falls back into the quarters kissing Meekin passionately.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::looks over at Eldin::  YEO:  Yes Eldin, you have something for me?
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
*XO* Melkin reports this is not normal procedure.  Recommend we rally until they figure out what is causing the power fluctuation?  
Host Martinis says:
::Grown obviously distracted:: CSO: Eight years.... ::His anxiety growing as the flickering doesn't stop this time:: CSO: Something---Something's wrong.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@*CMO*:  I will be down to see you in a few moments.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ *CO*: Acknowledged.
Host Martinis says:
ACTION: There is no response from the communicator, except that all blast doors within the station begins to slide down. Anyone wishing to be on the other side of a falling door has 15 seconds in which to accomplish it.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::motions to the controls in front of them:: Martinis: Can we do something about it from here?
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
:: too far away down the corridor sees blast doors lock down::
YEO_Crew_Eldin says:
@::Strides up to the captain::  CO:  Yes, Sir.  Just the usual...a few pieces of personal mail, and several departmental requests.  Oh, but there is also an internal memo marked "Urgent."  That's why I brought everything to you.  ::Holds out the PADD::
Host Martinis says:
CSO: Nou dwe jwenn soti nan isit la!  ::Takes Ivara's hand, gesturing toward the blast door, about to lock them within astrometrics::
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
*Andromeda* CO*  CTO To Andromeda€¦. come in...
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::takes the PADD::  YEO:  Thank you Eldin.  Is there anything else that requires my attention?
Host Martinis says:
ACTION: No communication between Gehmohr station and the Andromeda is possible without a communication aperture through the nebula.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::notes the lack of universal translator and swears quietly, she nods her head simply and moves to follow him without delay or complaint, completely cooperative at this point::
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
*ALL*  ENS Foxx to Andromeda Away team€¦ anyone€¦ come in.
Host Martinis says:
<Gehmohr>
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::snatches her tricorder from the console and flips it into her pocket::
Host Martinis says:
<Meklin> CTO: Yo pa ka ou rive nan nenpòt moun? Nou bezwen jwenn yon estasyon epi eseye louvri yon Ouverture. Petèt zanmi ou ka ede! ::Moves toward the nearest controls, expecting Foxx to follow her::
Host Martinis says:
::Pulls Ivara to the deck with him, as the slide under the closing blast doors::
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
::Watches Melkin€¦sees her motioning€¦ and follows:: Melkin:  I think our universal translators are malfunctioning€¦ but that's ok. :: smiles and follows::
YEO_Crew_Eldin says:
@CO:  No, Sir.  ::Stands to attention::
Host Martinis says:
<Meekin>::Doesn't bother to say a word, just lets her lips do the talking::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Frowns as he can no longer see within... it was bad enough he was outside... what exactly is it they wanted of him?  Disgruntled, he tries to contact the ship.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Tosses his still recording tricorder over to a small chair as he continues to kiss Meekin.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::starts to slide, then releases Martinis' hand so she can roll across the blast door aperture::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@YEO: Thank you, you're dismissed.  I'll be on the bridge sometime soon once I get back from the shuttle bay.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Getting no reply, he turns to look at the lowered blast doors.::
YEO_Crew_Eldin says:
@CO:  Thank you, Sir.  ::Does a quick 180 and departs the holodeck::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::once Eldin leaves, he begins reading through the PADD::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: With a heavy sigh, he begins to look for any access ways.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: In the back of her mind, she feels time slipping further and further away from her.  The frustration building greater.  Again, more and more of late, she mentally returned to her earlier training.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::slowly lowers the PADD from his reading sights and looks blankly forward::
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
:: watches Melken's fingers dancing over a thin touch display with a graphical user interface seemingly hovering over the display::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Finding one he is searching for, he looks at it.  Having no idea of the lay out of the station, it would be like moving further into a blind maze, but at least it was an option if he needed one.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Holds Meekin tightly in his arms continuing to kiss her as they move around her quarters.::
Host Martinis says:
::Pushes beneath the door, he reaches frantically under the blast doors for a vain moment, trying to find Ivara's hand. At the last second, he is forced to pull back, lest his hand be crushed by the thick doors::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@*CMO*:  I'm on my way and I have some disturbing information.  ::heads out of the holodeck and to a TL::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Opening her eyes, she says nothing.  She needed no further disturbing news.  And waits... and feels time eating away at her more.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::steps out of the TL and makes his way to the shuttle bay::
Host Meklin says:
::Presses the controls several more times, but the holographic interface flickers, then dies:: CTO: Madichon! ::Her fingers slam the controls once, trying to get any sort of response from it:: Pa gen bon.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::stands and straightens her robes, pulling them down where they caught on her legs and checking the contents of her pockets she then goes to the communications panel next to the blast door and presses what she hopes is the comm button:: Martinis: Martinis Mek, can you understand me?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::enters the shuttle bay and heads to where Sierra is::  CMO:  Sierra, I think you'd better read this.  ::hands her the PADD::
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
:: Calmly places his hand on Melkin's shoulder, he pulls out his phaser and turns it sideways€¦and points to it handing it to her::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Checking to see if he can open it, he discovers he cannot... at least not easily so.::
Host Meklin says:
ACTION: Ivara finds no response from the comm panel.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Without question, she takes the PADD and reads it.  Then hands it back to him.  Waiting.::
Host Meklin says:
<Meekin> ::Draws McQuade across the room, breaking from his lips long enough to safely sidestep a coffee table, drawing him to the couch with her::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::calmly puts her hand down for a moment then raises her tricorder, first scanning for life forms in the other room, then turning it to the comm panel, a hard line comm panel shouldn't be effected by EM interference::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@CMO:  I think this is something we need to investigate Sierra.  Any chance you would be able to track the origin of this message?
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Well, with nothing better today, maybe he could pull out some old training ideas.  Sitting down, hoping this is no more than a drill, he proceeds to work out some kind of way to open the hatch if he needs to.::
Host Meklin says:
::Tilts her head, not understanding what Foxx is trying to tell her::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ CO: Where did you get it?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@CMO:  Yeoman Eldin delivered the PADD to me.
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
::holds the phaser in both his hands and works the top section off of the square boxy looking weapon revealing a charged power source€¦ and points again to the phaser and then to the console::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Barely misses the coffee table on his way to the couch with Meekin.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::nods to herself then attempts to access the shuttle's computer on the tricorder not expecting a reply::
Host Meklin says:
::Eyes widen, she takes the power source from Foxx, and ducks to the floor, sliding into a good 18 inch cleft there beneath the consoles, her head disappearing from view::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Looks away::  CO:  Why?  Why now?  Is there someone watching us that wants to prevent me from leaving?  Or give us another red herring to follow?  :: Unable to hold back some of the anger she has kept deeply buried.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::looks at the tricorder for a moment then frowns:: *CTO/CEO* Ivara to away team, respond.
Host Meklin says:
<Meekin> ::Without a word, pulls McQuade to her once more::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@CMO:  I am unsure.  But I do think this is a legitimate reason to investigate further before you go dashing off.  Perhaps if we can find out where the message originated from.....it might be of good use.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::quirks her mouth slightly and forwards the same message through the shuttle's communications system to the away team.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@CMO:  I think the first thing we should do is question Yeoman Eldin.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Grasping her anger, she buries it deep, fearful she would say or do something harmful.  This was not her husband’s doing.::  CO:  I do not trust the timing.  I am also concerned if this is a red herring, it will lead us nowhere.  :: She turns away::  But for you, I will do it.  As for questioning, that is your realm of expertise.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@*YEO_Eldin*  Crewman, please meet me on the bridge, I will be there shortly.
Host Meklin says:
ACTION: All away team members in possess of a tricorder heading a beep indicating an incoming message.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@CMO:  I want you with me on this.  Let's get going.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::sighs and nods then sends a priority request for location to each tricorder, she then curses herself as her other tricorder starts to beep::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Kisses Meekin passionately disregarding the beeping from this tricorder on the chair across the room.  For now.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: With a nod of resignation, she quickly secures the shuttle and turns to follow him.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@CMO:  I understand what you're feeling Sierra, but if this leads us to something, we need to check it out.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Hearing the beep, he switches modes to see what is coming through.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::checks the message, marks it received and pockets her spare tricorder then begins to assess her location while she waits for the away team to check in::
CTO_ENS_Foxx says:
:: waits patiently smiling , having faith in Melkin's abilities to activate the console::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: They were in a box with no windows and doors, yet occasionally out of nowhere a bit of bread is dropped miraculously before them.  She says nothing.::
