Let The Die be Cast! - Mission 12 - 11209.18

Summary:  The Claymore drifts lifeless in space.  Debris and plasma stream away from Deep Space 3 in the background.  The crew work inside the cold ship to bring systems online as fast as they can.  1 hour and 15 minutes until Vroa attack….

********************** Resume Mission **********************

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Striding down the corridor for the nearest Jeffries tube junction as she speaks over her commbadge:: *Station OPS*: Find Jennings and Tevis, and get them over here ASAP. Raeyld out.
Station OPS says:
*CMO*:  Understood.  We will send them over once they suit up.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Looks down at the PADD in his hand with orders from the CO with disbelief.  She wanted 4 shuttles and the Jarrow brought online before 48 fighters.  This must be some new kind of math they taught in command school.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Shakes his head in disbelief one more time::  *CNS*  Hawk to Foster...  you onboard yet?
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::With Kytides, his phaser raised in his right hand, and his tricorder raised in his left::
CNS Ens Foster says:
*CAG*:  Yes headed for the shuttlebay now, should be there shortly.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*CNS*  Roger that.  I'll meet you on the Jarrow
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks at Damrok::  CTO: Commander you’re with me.  We will work on the Starboard Side Impulse Reactor.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Pulls a cover away and crawls into the Jeffries tube, finding this at least a little less quick-and-convenient whilst in an EVA suit::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Nods, then decides to affirm verbally, as his nod isn't particularly perceptible underneath his helmet::  CO:  Ayesir.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Keys in the entry code for Jarrow and boards, leaving the entry open for Foster.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Finds it slow going with the magnetic boots so deactivates them and propels himself down the corridor to the shuttle bay door.  He always enjoyed his anti grav training.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Tucks his handheld PADD away in his equipment pouch, having finished looking over all of the relevant tactical information, and continues onward, his tricorder and phaser both to-hand::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Moves forward, nodding to Chandler before taking the lead, keeping a careful eye on his tricorder and keeping his phaser trained at a set spot in front of him, a carbine slung around his shoulder::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Continues along with Damrok, holding her phaser in one hand and tricorder in the other.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Slips through the door to the shuttlebay and heads straight to the Jarrow floating through the open door, looking for Hawk.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Looks back as his tricorder registers movement:::  *CNS*:  In the cockpit Counselor.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Checks his tricorder for the distance...knows the ship pretty well, but everything is different in the dark::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Quickly and quietly climbs her way through the Jeffries tube, aiming for the medical deck::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::One of the advantages to the EVA suit, as she pushes off the corridor walls making movement a bit faster.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Pushes toward the front and into the cockpit.::  CAG:  So where are we at and where do you want me?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Follows along with T'Shara, similarly pushing off the walls to obtain a momentum boost in the zero gravity environment::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Laughs::  CNS:  We're in the dark and, frankly, I want you in charge.  If I'm not mistaken, you have an Engineering background.  We'll need that here.  I know we can rig an energy transfer from the shuttles either via external cable or even phaser beam, but I have no idea how to get the Clay to accept and use the energy.
SEC CPO Chandler says:
TO:  Nothing on the tricorder, Sir.  ::Reflexively glances toward the periphery as he goes, though the lack of light doesn't allow him to actually see anything.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stops just outside of the impulse reactor room, pulls off a control panel next to the doors and pulls a release lever.  Then looks at Damrok as she positions herself in front of the doors, placing her tricorder and phaser on her sides she takes both hands and begins to pry open the doors.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Momentarily stashes his tricorder and phaser as well, engaging his magnetic boots and grabbing the other side of the door to pull, but goes rather easy on it, assuming it should give rather quickly with their combined strength::
TO Ens Kytides says:
SEC:  Good.  Should be there soon.  ::Moves as slowly as he feels comfortable in the rushed situation - not much, except a pause after every jump of movement - really hating this sort of situation, and continues trying to watch the tricorder and everywhere else at the same time::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Grins.::  CAG:  Well I'm a bit out of practice but it should come back to me.  ::Thinks about the layout of the ship.:: There should be a power relay in the hanger deck we can use to connect the power.  Might even have the cables we need here in the shuttlebay.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Climbs out of the shaft and replaces the hatch behind her, before heading down the corridor::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::The doors slowly open the rest of the way.  Taking her tricorder and phaser back in her hands she looks to Damrok and slips into the room::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::In main engineering floating with his hands folded::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Thinks::  CNS:   Well, we have the cables we can use to charge shuttle batteries from the Clay...  should be able to reverse the flow with those, yes?
SEC CPO Chandler says:
TO:  I'll feel better when we get the lights back on, Sir.  ...Even though the enemy can cloak.  I'd just feel better.  ::Stares at his tricorder now as he proceeds, resisting the urge to look away from it::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Rearms himself with both phaser and tricorder, and follows T'Shara inside, releasing his boots again momentarily::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Moves into the room and finds a quiet place to sit::
CNS Ens Foster says:
CAG:  That’s what I was just thinking, will need to make some changes to the junction to allow the power to flow back into the ship but it should be possible.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Makes her way pushing along the walls to the center of the room where the reactor is located, she engages her magnetic boots and stands in front of the reactor::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Closes her eyes a moment, in silence::
CNS Ens Foster says:
CAG:  I'll see about making the alterations and connected to the shuttles, you start working on getting them powered up
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Places her weapon and tricorder on the reactor console.  Powers on the station from emergency power::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Stands watch as T'Shara works, carefully eyeing his tricorder::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
CNS:  Roger that.  ::Heads forward, then turns::  Keep an open comm CNS.  You see ANYTHING you can't identify, you yell and pull that phaser on your side.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Just as I thought the reactor fuel pod has been removed.  ::enters the command to unlock the reactor chamber and fuel storage doors::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO:  I'll need your help to push the fuel pod into the reactor chamber.  ::Floats over to the fuel pod storage::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Hadn't really been thinking that, and is a bit surprised::  CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::Pushes off and floats that way as well::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Nods, agreeing with the sentiment even if it means the light will negate their one possible matching advantage to the cloaking...unless the Vroa can see well in the dark, a disconcerting thought, and glances up into the darkness as the tricorder says they're at their destination, moving to that wall and taking up position::  SEC:  Get the lever.
CNS Ens Foster says:
CAG:  Will do.  ::Taps his commbadge to keep the commline open and checks the phaser at his hip before pushing his way back out of the shuttle and out into the shuttlebay.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Slowly stands to her feet, and heads out of the room, catching her bag on the way by::
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Moves to the release box, pops it open, and operates the lever::  TO:  Door released, Sir.  ::Nods to it and steps up, preparing to help pry it open::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Moves into the Jarrow cockpit.  Sets his tricorder to alert on movement, then begins the power up sequence::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Opens the fuel storage doors and slides in behind one of the fuel pods.  Engages her magnetic boots again and begins pushing the fuel pod along the track::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Moves into another Jeffries tube, and this time simply pushes gently down the tube::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Stops at the fuel pod, and locks himself to the floor, then begins pushing as well...a momentary wisecrack about heavy water not being quite so heavy in zero gravity crosses his mind, but he eliminates it in short order and focuses on getting the pod into place::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Takes a moment and looks around the dark bay shining his flashlight around trying to orient himself.  Once satisfied he pushes off the Jarrow toward the nearby wall.::

ACTION:  The fuel reactor pod begins to move slowly along the track towards the impulse drive reactor chamber.

TO Ens Kytides says:
::Doesn't bother resisting a grimace given nobody can see it, not liking putting up either tricorder or phaser for even a moment, but does so and pulls and wedges at the door to open it::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Continues with Damrok's help slowly pushing the fuel pod as they near the reactor chamber::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Exits the tube at a lower deck, and drifts to the doors of Main Engineering::

ACTION:  The fuel pod slips into the reactor chamber and inline with the impulse drive.

CNS Ens Foster says:
::Reaches the wall and slowly moves down it looking for right compartment, removing it he finds coiled power cable he wanted a picks it up setting it behind him to access the panel beyond.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Accesses the manual override for ME's doors, slowly...slowly, but surely sliding them open::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks over to the controls, pushing a few buttons the reactor chamber door closes.  Begins to manually start up the reactor from emergency power::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Checks the connections with his tricorder::
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Pulls on the other side of the door, eventually causing it to give and begrudgingly slide open::

ACTION: Warning lights flash all over the reactor panel.  In Main Engineering Emergency power systems light up warning of a massive power drain in emergency power.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Gets the doors open far enough to be able to slip through, despite the bulk of the suit, and pushes off to drift into Main Engineering::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Manually override reactor start up warnings as they appear::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Completes an abbreviated power up process on the Jarrow::  *CNS*:  Jarrow is fired up, Counselor.  Skipped most of the safety checks, but she's up and running.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Doesn't have a single idea what T'Shara is doing, nor would he be of much use from an engineering standpoint, so merely lifts his tricorder to an easily viewable vantage point and extends his phaser again, vigilant::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Plugs the lead from the tricorder's battery into the flashing power distribution display to stabilize the view looking for the source of the power drain, apparently ignoring Commander Raeyld::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Pulls off the panel cover revealing the circuits behind and takes a moment to be certain he was changing the right circuits, before changing the configuration to allow for power to be fed back into the ship.::  *CAG*: Just finished making the changes to the coupling.  Bringing the cable to the Jarrow now.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*CNS*:  Roger that.

ACTION:  Emergency lights flicker to life throughout the Claymore as the reactor comes to life.

CNS Ens Foster says:
::Grabs the cable and holding it loosely pushes hard away from the wall toward the Jarrow, letting the cable trail behind him.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Pushes slightly off of one of the many indecipherable (to her) consoles in Main Engineering to adjust her course, bringing her to a stop a good ten meters from Fong, listing near a control panel::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Glances toward the fuel tank...knows it’s been quite a while since a fusion reactor has critically failed, but most of them aren't started so jarringly from cold, either::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Pulls himself into the room immediately as the doors open, tricorder and phaser coming out again just after clearing the door, and peers into the darkness for a moment before moving toward the center of the room and the vague hulking machine just as the emergency lights come on::
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Drifts through the atmosphere after Kytides, looking placid, and heaves a sigh of unconcealed relief as the lights begin to power::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Overrides the last of the startup warnings and begins accessing the automated reactor subroutines::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Activates his boots again, having no desire to drop to the floor should the gravity suddenly return::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: That at least gives us some power.  We can probably head to the bridge and start bringing a few things online up there.  I will contact Lieutenant Fong to start manually bringing up environmental controls.  Contact Ensign Kytides and see how him and Lieutenant Commander Senn are doing on the computer.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Puts his arms out as he approaches the Jarrow and moves back toward the coupling on the Jarrow, removing the access panel to change the direction of the power flow from it as well.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Settles herself into low "orbit" of the floor, and pulls the tricorder from her bag. First makes the adjustments recommended by Damrok to help detect the Vroa, figuring if there was anything she could even remotely possibly help with in Main Engineering, that he actually needed, Fong would let her know::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Understood, Captain.  ::Magnetically plods his way toward the exit::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
*TO*:  Damrok to Kytides.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Notes the emergency lights come on::  *CO*  Hawk to T’Shara.  With emergency power apparently restored, do you still want the shuttles rigged as a power source?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*OPS*: Lieutenant Fong, we have one reactor partially online.  There wasn't enough power to bring multiple reactors online.  Manually bring up environmental controls but notify all crew members aboard once you are ready to restore gravity.
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Latches onto a console and pulls himself down to ground level again, activating his boots, and immediately takes a look at his tricorder::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Turns and begins to follow Damrok::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Nods to himself, happy just as much that this means the others haven't all been shot by hidden Vroa, and settles in at the main panel, powering it up before hitting his commbadge::  *CTO*:  Kytides here, Sir.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CAG*: Yes sir.  We completely drained the last of emergency power.  If the reactor shuts down we'll need more emergency power to try and bring it online.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*CO*  Understood.  We're almost ready to plug the Jarrow in.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CAG*: Acknowledge good work Mr. Hawk.  Commander Damrok and myself will be on the bridge bringing the bridge online.
OPS Lt Fong says:
*CO* Message received.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
*TO*:  How is the computer core restart coming along, Ensign?  ::Continues down the hallway at a snail's pace, tempted to release the boots again, but exercises some patience and caution::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*CNS*:  Let's continue with our hookup, but make sure we don't actually feed power until it's needed.  We don't want to overload the relays.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Continues watching power levels shaking his head::
TO Ens Kytides says:
*CTO*:  At it, Sir, starting now.  ::Jabs quickly at the controls, trying to hurry, to bring the computer core online without diagnostics::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Hears the brief message from Fong and continues down the hallway to the nearest Jeffries tube::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*CO*  Aye, ma'am.  We'll report when the rest of the shuttles are available for power.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Makes the needed changes to the circuits and plugs the cable into the Jarrow.::  *CAG*:  Jarrow is jacked in.  I will move to the next shuttle now.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*CNS*  Got it.  Moving over to start power up.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CAG*: Understood.  T'Shara out.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Stops at the entry hatch to the Jefferies tube, pops open the hatch, grabs the sides of the aperture, and disengages his boots, weightlessly vaulting himself headlong into the tube::

ACTION:  Computer control systems begin displaying warnings on manual start up.  Computer startup will not continue until warnings are cleared.

CNS Ens Foster says:
::Able to see with the emergency lighting he pushes off straight at the next power junction.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Moves into the shuttle Foster indicated and begins power up.  Much simpler than the Jarrow power up::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Waits and Damrok opens the hatch and pushes into the tube.  Once he is clear she grabs ahold of the sides, disengaging her boots, she pushes into the tube following Damrok::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Doesn't bother clenching teeth to mute a short curse, not wanting to take the time as he updates Damrok and looks over the warnings, trying to bypass or resolve them - whichever seems quicker for each one::  *CTO*:  May take a moment, warning issues.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Moving a bit quicker with the extra light and now knowing the changes needed he quickly pulls out the cable and begins making changes to the circuits.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Begins bringing engineering control systems online. Displays were dark without input, but with some power available he put them into standby mode getting ready for the main computer's boot up sequence to finish::

ACTION:  Lights flicker throughout the Claymore as the computer begins to power up.  Each warning is cleared by Ensign Kytides brings the computer one step closer...

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Finishes start up on the current shuttle and starts moving through the remaining 3, powering each up::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Finishes her modifications, then begins one of her own::
Computer says:
*Shipwide*:  Warning life support is offline, gravity systems are offline, warp core is off line, impulse reactors 2 - 4 are offline, Main deflector is offline, external sensors are offline.
OPS Lt Fong says:
Computer: Thank you.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Notices the lights flicker as she continues to glide through the Jeffries tube toward the bridge::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Practically swims along the length of the Jefferies tube, grabbing the edging and pulling himself along, moving swiftly toward the upward junction::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Hears the computer announcement and mutters::  Good thing we have a computer....  we'd of NEVER figured that out on our own.

ACTION:  Terminals spring to life one by one throughout the Claymore as the computer core connects to each one.

TO Ens Kytides says:
::Continues jabbing at the controls, wishing he had spent more time honing computer skills after he was released, so this would go faster::
Computer says:
*Shipwide*:  Warning life support is offline, gravity systems are offline, warp core is off line, impulse reactors 2 - 4 are offline, Main deflector is offline, external sensors are offline.
SEC CPO Chandler says:
TO:  I suppose...that's a good sign, Sir.  A bit of awareness on the computer's part.
TO Ens Kytides says:
SEC:  Better if it was aware enough not to repeat.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Two of the cables are nearby so makes the changes to both of them before grabbing the cables and moving toward the first two shuttles.::
Computer says:
*Shipwide*:  Warning power levels critical.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Hears the shipwide message as if it was telling them anything they didn't already know at this point::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Finishes the final startup::  *CNS*  All the shuttles are up and running.  How's the hook-up coming?
Computer says:
*Shipwide*:  Warning life support is offline, gravity systems are offline, warp core is off line, impulse reactors 2 - 4 are offline, Main deflector is offline, external sensors are offline.
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Minds his tongue, and remains silent::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::More or less ignores the computer, as it's entirely out of her control right now anyway, while she rigs a sort of dead-man's switch into her tricorder::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Finishes the two connections he was working on before answering.::  *CAG*:  Just need the last two configured and hooked up.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Finally reaches the hatch, having vaulted his way up the laddered section, only ever stopping to pop open the next junction::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*CNS*  Excellent!
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Flips open the hatch and carefully climbs his way onto the bridge::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*CO*  Captain...  4 shuttles and the Jarrow powered up.  Connection on the Jarrow and 2 shuttles complete.  The last two available in the next 5 minutes.  Power feed available at your command
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Pauses for a moment holding onto a side of the tube as Damrok opens the hatch and exits.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Climbs her way out onto the bridge as well.  Barely making it out she receives Hawk's message as she closes the hatch behind her::  *CAG/CNS*: Good work gentlemen I will let OPS know that he can pull power from the shuttles.
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Gives a sharp frown while continuing to work, but finally gets a bit fed up::  Computer:  Mute audible warnings.
Computer says:
TO: Audible warnings muted.

ACTION:  Main Computer terminal shows Computer core is now online.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
*OPS*:  Lieutenant, Mr. Hawk and the Counselor have managed to connect some of the shuttles for extra power.  So you have power to pull from the shuttles as needed.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Moves back and gets the other two cables ready and moves to connect the power to the two remaining shuttles.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Engages his boots after he reaches the tactical station, locking himself in place and beginning minor diagnostics on the console before firing it up::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Already deeply involved in starting the subroutines to bring the other three generators up to power:: *CO* uh huh.
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Breathes a sigh of relief and taps his commbadge again::  *CTO*:  Computer online, Sir.
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Nods::  TO:  Well done, Sir.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Floats over to one of the consoles, engaging her boots she locks herself in place and begins trying to bring sensors online::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Finishes the last of the cable connection and changes.::  *CAG*:  That’s it we are all jacked in.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
*TO*:  Understood, Ensign.  Report to the armory to ensure that the others have secured it.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Glances up briefly at Fong, then catches the tricorder just right in her hand, pressing down and holding the button::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*CNS*  Nice job!  You get tired of us whack jobs, you could have a fine career as an electrician.

ACTION:  Reactor 1 comes online fully with the computer online.   Lt Fong brings reactor 4 online.

ACTION:  Power levels now rise above reduced power mode operation.

TO Ens Kytides says:
::Shrugs, not really feeling that way, and pulls out his tricorder again, this time taking out the carbine now that any chance of stealth in the dark is gone::  *CTO*:  Aye, Sir.  On our way.
CNS Ens Foster says:
*CAG*:  Think I'm stuck for a while, you whack jobs keep me too busy.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*CNS*  Yeah...  good point.

ACTION:  Full lighting comes online throughout the Claymore.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Tricorder firmly in hand, she rises back to her feet, and accesses the environmental systems, working with her free hand to bring them online::

ACTION:  Vents begin to blow O2 throughout the Claymore.  A slight breeze can be felt on all decks.  Temperatures begin to rise.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Shifts some power to environmental systems, slowly booting them up:: *Shipwide* Expect slow increase of gravity function within next ten minutes.

ACTION:  Reactor 2 comes online.  Slowly gravity increases to normal levels over the next 10 minutes.
