Host SMLea says:
Summary: It has been over an hour since the away team reported back to the Andromeda. Captain Knight's attempts to initiate communications himself have failed. Why?  Meanwhile, Doctor Knight-Sky continues to work with Crewman Eldin in search of the source of the Knight's mysterious communique.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::starts working his way down the corridor looking for some sort of powered up terminal::
Host SMLea says:
@Summary: Aboard the Science Station Gehmohr, encased in its protective nebula, the away team continues struggle in isolation. Commanders Power and Varesh attempt to reach the shuttle in the forcefield-protected docking bay below. Lieutenant Wilcox and Ensign Ivara work to free some geneticists within Sector 7, Quad 2.
Host SMLea says:
@Summary: And Ensign McQuade concludes "pumping" an Agtak native for information. After his tricorder was destroyed, he was able to rig some communications equipment with enough power to send a single text message through the shuttle's system.
Host SMLea says:
@Summary: All away team members in possession of a functional tricorder receive the following message: "Caution Station damaged by Agtak plot to uncover dangerous and illegal Chalak experiments.  My tricorder is destroyed.  Only enough power for one message.  Escape the Station at all costs.  Ensign McQuade."

::At the bridge, checking the flight console and some general settings.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::getting anxious::  CMO:  Any updates Sierra?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Still sitting in the chair in Meekin’s quarters.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::reads the CEOs message:: Self: One crewmember to rescue then.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::looks at the message on her tricorder then at the MO:: MO: Sir I can override the seals, but with the experiments in the labs also lack power, and something could potentially have gotten lose.  What are your orders?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@FCO:  Konrad, contact security and have them take a team down to the station by shuttle to check on our AT.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Working at the auxiliary station, her fingers tapping across the board as she pulls up programs and re-enters data::  CO:  Nothing yet... whoever did this, knew what they were doing.  I am literally needing to follow his bread crumb trail... which is about all that is left behind... the faint ghost echo.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@CMO:  I absolutely refuse to believe that Tavish had any part in this.  Someone is trying to set him up.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Looks at the young woman.::  CSO: Go ahead... is something dangerous got loose, I am sure they would appreciate some help.
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@Capt: Aye aye sir. ::Starts to call for a standby security tea,.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@CO:  From a personal point, I agree.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::blinks at the MO:: MO: Sir, If something dangerous got loose then we would be exposing the rest of the station to it.  My advice is to leave the labs sealed until station personnel override it.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::walks over to Konrad::  FCO:  In fact, it might be best for you to lead the second security team down.  I want you to find out just what is going on with communications and to check on them.
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Closes connections.:: Capt: Sir, the security team is on its way to the shuttle. Do you want another team?
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Looks exasperatedly at the ensign::  CSO:  Do as you see fit... but we, need to get through that... :: points at the entry hatch:: door if we are going to be of help to anyone, let alone ourselves.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@FCO:  No, just the one team that you will lead.
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@Capt: Oké, In that case, I guess, I'll be on my way then.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@FCO:  Report in once you arrive at the science station.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Takes a deep breath and stands before moving to the windows.::  Meekin:  I need to find a way to the shuttle.  I can't just sit here and wait.
YEO_Crew_Eldin says:
@::Reviewing his PADD, waiting for the computer to complete its analysis::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Stands up and walks towards the TL. Turns around and puts his to his head in order to great.:: Capt: Aye. ::Enters the TL and goes to the shuttle deck.::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@*Farsy*: Hold the shuttle, I am flying it!
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::checks his tricorder and detects two faint power readings, one from what appears to be the shuttlebay and another one coming from the central promenade::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Exits the TL and sprints towards the shuttle deck. Enters the shuttle and takes a seat behind the flight console. Doors close.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::starts slowly moving towards the promenade to see what power readings are originating from it::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Starts up all systems. And starts up the engines in succession.:: *Bridge*: Shuttle is ready for takeoff. Engines running. Could you please open the bay doors?
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Starts the thrusters. The shuttle is taking of and keeps in a hovering position. Waiting until the bay doors open.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@*FCO*:  You are clear for departure.  Good luck Konrad.  ::opens the bay doors::
Host SMLea says:
@ACTION: Andromeda's bay doors slide open, clearing the way for the FCO's shuttle.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::looks at the leavers in front of her and pulls at one the tricorder identifies as 'maintenance access' hoping that it will open the door to the service tubes::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
@::Sees the bay doors open up and slides through them. *Capt*: Ayeaye sir. Gone through. You can close the doors again.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::hears the pop-hiss of the service tunnel access point opening:: MO: There you go sir.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Simply nods::  CSO:  Do you wish to go first or shall I?  :: Looks through the entry.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::shrugs slightly:: MO: Go ahead sir.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Starts pacing the room looking for anything that might lead out of the room.::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Uses thrusters, moving them too maximum, while moving away from the ship. Turning the shuttle over its top, moving towards the ship again, turns the shuttle strait while flying over the bridge, Makes a wave as a greet and throws in the impulse engines.:: All: Oké guys buckle up.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Scooping up his gear, he slips it over his shoulder and climbs. in.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::sees the bulkhead door for the turbolift and pulls the correct handle on the override panel::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: As she continues, more time passing, a sense of wasted time... she feels her anger build and her patience slipping.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::moves into the service tunnel after the MO, clicking on the tricorder's flashlight function and following the MO::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::looks in the turbolift shaft to see if there any service ladders he can climb down using::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ {{{{ CO:  This is not getting us anywhere soon.  I am not needed for this.  Apparently, as skilled as I am in this area, it is not enough.}}}}
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Takes the thrusters in idle and pulls the impulse engines to 10%.:: All: Let’s see if I can fly it faster than on thrusters only.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::looks over at Sierra and walks up to her::  CMO:  I know it's frustrating, but we need to have patience.  Is there anything I can do to help this along?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::starts working his way down the turbolift shaft::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Takes the impulse engine offline as soon as he sees the nebula at a close distance. Thrusters are placed on full::
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: The ladder the XO is moving down is impeccably clean and shiny, feeling extremely secure against the wall, with broad footholds, making it easy to progress quickly down the shaft.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Starts to climb downward::  CSO:  How is your sense of direction?  Or even better yet, what path does that tricorder suggest we go?
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::The shuttle shakes as he enters the nebula, but the FCO compensates by hand.:: All: Well, I still can compensate better than the computer. I wonder when that will be better.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::checks his tricorder to see how much further is left down towards the shuttle::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Entering a few commands to start the next program, she stands and heads for the lift.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@CMO:  Sierra, where are you headed?
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Sees the station in the distance. Takes the thrusters a bit down.::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Takes the thrusters offline, and sends a signal to open the bay doors.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ CO:  I am not needed here at the moment... {{{{ I need to move... I cannot just sit here chasing what to me is nothing but a red herring... the programs are set... I will allow the computer to do its part for a bit.::}}}}
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: The Farsy penetrates the perimeter of the nebula, shuddering only slightly as it moves within its gases. The shuttle shudders once more, moments before coming to a stop just outside the station's docking bay doors.
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: The Farsy receiving no indication that its signal was received.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::is getting fed up with his wife's impatience and says nothing as she leaves the bridge::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::checks the tricorder and shakes her head:: MO: 100 feet, negative z, 750 feet positive x, 50 feet negative y.  Tricorders indicate multiple obstructions in our path, likely sealed hatches, but there should be nearby overrides.  I would suggest moving along the station's x axis first sir.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Stops at the next level and steps off to wait.::  CSO:  Alright...
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: Still 40 ft above his destination, the XO's next step down is bounced off the docking bay forcefield/shield, throwing his foot up with a slight shock.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@*FCO*:  What's your status? You should have arrived at the station by now.
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: The FCO does not hear the CO's message.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::kicks the forcefield a few more times to reassure himself it is there:: Self: Hmm. This could be an issue.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::looks around the shaft for any obvious terminal or power relays/conduits::
Host SMLea says:
@<OPS_Lt_Matthews> ::Shakes his head, turning back to Knight:: CO: I'm sorry, Sir. Whatever was blocking our communications to the station, the shuttle is far enough in we can't reach it either.
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Looks at the door and sees it is still closed. Looks into the system and sees that the code is the right one, and sends them again.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@OPS:  Just what is going on here?!  Continue to hail the station on all channels.
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Gets impatient.:: All: Aaaw man, so close to the finish, and then strand in front of it!
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::sees an access hatch and ducks in to it::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Makes her way to the arboretum to gather her thoughts and wait for the computer to take the next step.::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Resents the code again and again.::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Is thinking about using the shuttles phasers in order to breach the bay doors.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::After not finding anything of great use in Meekin's quarters he moves over to the door next to Meekin and takes a seat.::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: After walking about a quarter kilometer:: CSO:  Suggestion on how far?
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*XO*: Hello commander, Konrad here. My shuttle is at the front door, but the door does not open.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::sees some sort of security checkpoint ahead and moves towards it::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*XO*: Commander? Did you receive my message?
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: The FCO's communication, once routed through the shuttle and transcribed to text, appears on the tricorder of each Gehmohr away team member: " Hello commander, Konrad here. My shuttle is at the front door, but the door does not open."
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Arriving, she heads for her favorite location by the falls.  Taking a look at her tricorder which is linked to the bridge, to make sure the programs were still running smoothly, she takes a seat.  Pulling her knees up to her chest, she wraps her arms around them, leaning her head against them to just think.::
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: XO Power faces a choice: Move into the corridor of SubDeck 6 and attempt to gain access to the Docking Bay via a Security Checkpoint, or continue moving through service shafts in search of another way through the forcefield.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Following the CSO's suggestion, he takes the next downward shaft.::
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*XO*: Commander? A shuttle full of security personal is waiting to get in action. Oh I hate waiting. Sorry sir, was still on communicator.
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: MO Wilcox makes his way through the same service shafts, with a total of 800 feet horizontal to travel, and 100 ft down.
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: And in the crew quarters deck, Agtak Meekin finally shifts from her sullen position on her couch, rousing to her feet and facing Ensign McQuade.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::sends a message back to the FCO:: FCO: Situation on board, no power in station. Near shuttlebay, will try figure out way to open docking bay doors. Try do a sweep of the entire station for unusual sensor readings or alternative access points. Report back in 30 minutes.
Host SMLea says:
@ACTION: Meanwhile, those aboard the Andromeda wait, in silence and without answers. Whatever the away team may face in the coming hours, it nothing compared to the lonely, helpless wait.
FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*XO*: Aye aye sir. Does the captain know this? ::Starts a full sensor check of the stations, while floating around it.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::sends another message back:: FCO: No comms within station or external. Send message back to ship first. Andy should keep distance until we know full extent of situation.
