Host SMDrew says:
ARC 19 - Only the Good Die Young - Mission 7 - SD: 11703.14
Host SMDrew says:
Summary: The shuttle’s reactor fuel cells were beamed into space a safe distance from the station by the Claymore.  Now with the forcefield down, Claymore crew begin their investigation aboard the alien shuttle.
Host SMDrew says:
***************** Resume Mission *********************
Host SMDrew says:
SCENE:  Inside the alien vessel are the charred remains of the two occupants, one still seated in the forward section, the other one fused to the deck near the impulse drive.
Ian_Williams says:
::kneeling on the deck, a few pieces of what was at one time quite possibly a secondary computer access terminal spread out before him, tricorder idly cataloguing the damage::
Ian_Williams says:
::skims one eye about the shuttle while he works, taking note of consoles with the potential to still be at least semi-functional, then moves away from that damaged equipment to inventory the remainder of the craft::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Still sitting in the restaurant, talking with Crocket.::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::finishes downloading what sensor readings he can from both the station and Claymore, redirecting them to his tricorder::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::doesn't bother much to look at them just now; it's more a just-in-case kind of thing::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
<Gladwyn>::Glances over at Theron and Crocket, wondering what they were talking about before turning back to her mom.::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::logs out of the console and makes his way towards the turbolift::
Ian_Williams says:
::slowly circles around the craft, pausing perhaps a bit longer at the shuttle's impulse reactor, making one or two small adjustments to the scan, then raising an eyebrow slightly::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Taps her combadge::  *CNS*:  Captain T'Shara to Lieutenant Commander Foster.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::enters the turbolift, commanding it to the VIP station access point::
Ian_Williams says:
::tilts his head a degree to one side, then taps his ‘badge:: *CO*: Captain, a moment if you wouldn't mind.
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Cuts off what he was about to say.:: Crocket:  Excuse me a moment.  ::Taps his badge.::  *CO*:  Foster here, Captain.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Stands with tricorder out by the shuttle, at the moment mostly focusing attention on being wary, given his lesser skills in this department and the potential for secondary traps in sabotage::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Taps her combadge::  *Ian*: Aye, Mr. Williams.  Are you still on the shuttle?
Ian_Williams says:
*CO*: I am. And you're going to want to be as well.
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
<Crocket>::Nods at Theron and glances over at Gladwyn.::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::exits the lift, on auto-pilot as he moves through the airlock towards the station::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::snaps out of it as he enters the station, taking the tricorder out and opening it to take a look at the preliminaries from the sensor reports, finding them just as he enters the station turbolift::  Turbolift: Deck 22.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Begins to walk toward the shuttle, tapping her combadge::  *CNS*: Counselor, I would like you to go around to some of the more...”seedy,” I believe is the word, establishments.  And see if you can use your talents for listening, and see if there are any stories or rumors going on about the species that were aboard the shuttle.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Continues over to the shuttle and enters, pausing just inside.::  Ian: Williams...
Ian_Williams says:
::standing nearish the impulse reactor, tapping commands to send his latest readings up to Claymore:: CO: ::dips her a nod:: Over here, Captain. This may interest you, and quite possibly the station commander.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::arrives in the shuttle bay, having just exited the turbolift on what has to be his quickest trip pretty much anywhere on a multilevel ship or station::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
*CO*:  The one that was sabotaged?  I will get on it.  ::Glances over at Crocket, thinking he might have a good source for the best places to go.::  I'll keep you updated on anything I learn.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks over to where Williams is standing.::  Ian: What did you find?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Taps her ‘badge again::  *CNS*: Aye, Counselor.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Camped out nearby the station technicians, gathering pertinent information as it becomes available::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns her attention back to Williams::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::sees T'Shara and moves towards her and the vessel::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Having finally settled on the XO's seat as slightly less awkward than standing around the bridge hovering over the shoulders of anyone unfortunate enough to be serving on the bridge with her, she checks the latest Claymore and Heaven Station status reports::
Ian_Williams says:
CO: Firstly. Direct access to the computer core is not happening. The system's functional, but I'll need to get it back to Claymore to do anything of any real value with it. But this is moderately curious. ::turns his tricorder so she can see his scans:: Someone's been modifying the shuttle's impulse drive. It's fairly new as it is - this ship was designed with the drive at its center, it would appear. But they've been adding to it.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::looks at his PADD, nods slightly, then resumes eating a meal consisting of a paste-like material shrouded in plant matter, and drizzled with a greasy, sticky sauce.::
Ian_Williams says:
CO: So far, I've identified a module of possible Ferengi origin whose purpose isn't clear at this time. But there's an internal component I can't get a clear scan of.
Ian_Williams says:
CO: We'll need to dismantle the engine to get a closer look.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks down at the tricorder data.  Raises an eyebrow::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Taps his’ badge and closes the channel, then turns back to Crocket.::  Crocket:  Think you can help me with that?
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::listens in as Claymore's most loathsome figure ̶ depending on the day and the rankings ̶ speaks with T'Shara::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Hears someone behind her and slowly glances around.  Notices Commander Davis and thinks “right on cue”.::  CEO: Commander, you are just in time.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::acknowledges his current importance ̶ being the one to take something into its 8,000 different pieces, without a manual of course::  CO: Yes, I guess so.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Ian: Do you think it is something the crew had added to somehow help with the race, or could it have been part of the cause of the explosion?
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
<Crocket>::Shrugs.::  CNS:  Seedy places to listen to gossip? Yeah, I know a few places.  ::Maybe this will help with Theron's impression of him, if he helps out.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Ian: I know you don't have answers at this point, and it is all speculation, Mr. Williams.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: We all have our specialties, Captain.
Ian_Williams says:
CO: Either and both is likely at this point. Neither of these components is standard with this drive. And depending on particulars, one or both could cause significant damage if precautions aren't taken. And given the situation, I would guess precautions weren't taken.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Indeed, Commander.  ::a slight smile on her face.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  Ian: I would have to agree.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Given the wealth of technological knowledge that's in the shuttle now, stops scanning the ship itself after noting the results so far and instead focuses his tricorder on the bodies just to be generally busy, at least::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Nods.::  Crocket:  OK, let’s get going.  ::Stands and moves over to Gladwyn and Eris, letting them know they had to go.::
Ian_Williams says:
CO: I may know more about its original intent once I get their computer back to Claymore. Combine that with engineering's discoveries when they pull it apart, ::dips a nod Davis's direction:: and we should have an approximate idea of exactly what the hell these unfortunately desperate little souls were thinking.
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
<Gladwyn>::Gives Theron a hug, whispering in his ear.:: CNS:  Go easy on him, OK? He's nice.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Thoroughly examines the reports and logs being transmitted to the Claymore, searching for any patterns or insights::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Grins, whispering back.:: Gladwyn:  We'll see how things go.  ::Lets go, giving Eris a quick kiss and moving back to where Crocket stood waiting.::  Crocket:  Where to first?
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
::looks up for her tricorder finally:: *CMO*: It looks like we could beam the pilot's body out of here and we could probably get a lot more forensic data from it in the sickbay. Let me ask to make sure, but I want to try and beam it out of here.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::looks up from his meal as a scantily clad near-human female walked up to his table to ask if he needed anything else.  He gave a firm but polite shake of his head and returned to eating, and reading.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Momentarily distracted from her focus:: *MO*: Mm? Oh, yes, perfect. Operations can certainly conduct the beamout on your authority. Will you be returning with the body?
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
*CMO*: Affirmative. I've forwarded my scans to you, but I'm going to be more use in sickbay with the body than out here.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Ian/CEO: I will leave you both then to get started.  Keep me posted on what you find.
Ian_Williams says:
CO: Details when I have them, captain.
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
::walks over to T'Shara and the others:: CO: Excuse me, Captain? I'd like to examine the bodies more closely back in the Claymore's sickbay.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  Ian: Thank you.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@*MO*: Sounds good. Keep me updated.
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
<Crocket>::Turns leading Theron to the nearest lift.::  CNS:  The Hangar is always the best place to begin. From there, depending on what we hear, we can move to a few other, less savory places.
Ian_Williams says:
::moves away from the conversation, but not entirely too quickly in the event Davis distracts him, and heads back towards the shuttle's computer core::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns to Stevens::  MO: Of course, Doctor.  Coordinate with Lieutenant Kytides on transporting the one body back.  I believe you will have a harder time with the other body; it appears to be fused to the deck.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::doesn't mind Williams much, instead reconfiguring his tricorder and scanning the outside of the shuttle::
Ian_Williams says:
::sends his scans of the impulse drive directly to Davis's tricorder, despite having already sent them to Claymore, then sets to work removing one of the access panels to expose the core::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Nods as he enter the lift.::  Crocket:  Sounds good.
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Glances up at overhearing T'Shara's order, fully stepping into the shuttle and standing vaguely around the pilot's body, even less sure about how much he's needed in this than previously::
Ian_Williams says:
::quickly, quietly begins separating core from ship, one slightly nonstandard connector at a time::
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
::Walks over to the shuttle:: CTO: I'm supposed to ask you to make sure I can take...him to sickbay. ::gestures at the pilot's body::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::orders the tricorder to compile the new data with what Williams sent, letting the tricorder analyze it, then reviewing the results::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
<Crocket>::Steps off the lift as it stops near The Hangar and leads Foster into the bar, picking a seat, centrally located to hear the most.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Notices Kytides, walks over to him::  CTO: Lieutenant, you are going to need a plan of action to be able to protect the Jarrow once it is aboard the station.  The problem is we can't have a bunch of guards posted on it.  Do you have any ideas of what could be done?
Ian_Williams says:
::core carefully extracted, Williams straightens, scans the shuttle once more, then taps his ‘badge:: *Claymore*: Claymore, Williams. One person and piece of equipment to transport directly to science lab two.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::boards the shuttle, looking for Williams:;
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
<Crocket>::Leans over closer to Foster.::  CNS:  We should probably order something to drink. If we just sit here, we'll look suspicious and no one will likely talk near us.  ::Flags down a waiter, a friend of his, and orders a couple of beers.::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Nods to Stevens, pausing in the middle of tapping his combadge to send the order to the Claymore, but upon T'Shara's approach, hoping Stevens will take care of that and further wondering why he was involved in the order chain there::
Ian_Williams says:
::notes Davis's arrival, then adds:: *Claymore*: Standby.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
CO:  Is the issue with guards manpower, or being obvious, Captain?
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> ::hears Mr. Williams’ request:: CMO: Ma'am, Mr. Williams is requesting to beam aboard with one piece of equipment.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Nods:: OPS: Go ahead.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shows Williams a schematic of the shuttle, in particular the area the plasma worked through::  Williams: The plasma started from inside the core, and appears to have been redirected into the cabin area.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: It's being obvious.  Technically, we are not allowed to have more than just our two people in the hanger.  We can have a limited number of engineering, but not for long periods of time, which would leave the Jarrow open to intruders.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Williams: Not sure how yet, but this is definitely an area I'll start with.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney>::Locks onto Williams' combadge and awaits orders, then nods:: *Williams* Claymore acknowledges, standing by...
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Takes the beer when it arrives and leans back, relaxing.::
Ian_Williams says:
CEO: Possibly the internal component created more of a compatibility problem than our friends were bargaining for. Once I have the computer undergoing diagnostics, I can lend assistance with this if needed.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Do you think some of your security team would mind some part-time work?
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
*Claymore*: Stevens to Claymore. I need a dead body and myself beamed to sickbay.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> CMO: Lieutenant Stevens is requesting to beam aboard with a corpse, Ma'am.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Thinks for a moment, wishing they had more knowledge of how exactly this incident happened::  CO:  That was my thought.  Planting some as engineers would be good, but doesn't cover all times.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, not knowing enough to rule out what he's saying, but not wanting to rule anything out from the start, either::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Many of the patrons of The Hangar talk about the upcoming race, their latest exploits, and just random pilot talk.  However, there are faint whispers of the latest news from the shuttle hangar....
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
CO:  Jarrow's holograms could help as well, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: I could check with Britec about having you and some of your security team replace some of his station personnel in operations and in station security, specifically assigned to this area, which means we would have more coverage.  The Jarrow’s holograms are inoperative.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*ACE*: Davis to Secord
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<ACE_LtJG_Secord> *CEO*: Uhh, go ahead, Commander?
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*ACE*: Sorry to cut into your time, but I'm going to need a hand. Find V'Mehl and bring him to the shuttle bay on deck 22 of the station.
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Turns at an interesting tidbit he thought he heard from a group at the bar; grinning, he pulls Crocket along and takes a seat at the bar.::  Outloud:  Can I get you guys a drink?
Ian_Williams says:
CEO: I'm not expecting to find an instruction manual, but usage records might give us an indication of what they were hoping to do with it. They've done testing if they're not idiots, so they'll have a baseline. If they haven't buried that baseline, we should have something to operate from.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Grimaces at the last bit of news, but nods at the rest::  CO:  Our own system of sensors and cameras would be the best additional precaution then, if possible.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<ACE_LtJG_Secord> *CEO*: Will do.
Host SMDrew says:
<Camoit>  ::In a low whisper.::  Vince:  You know with the Proca out of the way our chances just improved.   If a few more things happen, we are golden.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods::  Williams: It depends on what kinds of usage logs this thing produces. We'll have to dig in and see.
Host SMDrew says:
<Vince>  ::Takes a sip of his drink.::  Camoit: You better stop running your mouth.  We already have a good chance.  Now more so.  Let’s just keep with the original plan.
Ian_Williams says:
CEO: That's why this is coming with me. ::gestures at the computer core::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Agreed.  We can keep the Claymore's sensors obviously focused on it.  The Jarrow itself is the concern, with the damage it already has, and what can and can't be repaired in time.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Williams: Sounds good. We'll start with the affected section and the engine; I'm going to call in another body to break this down into pieces.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Pauses from digging through the data, at a good stopping point, and suddenly becomes acutely aware that she's running the bridge in her civilian attire::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Williams: I'll send you what we find.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Glances up:: OPS: Yes, do so.
Ian_Williams says:
CEO: You'll have what I do, including an extra pair of hands, as I get it.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> CMO: Aye.  ::locks onto the MO and her body:: *MO*: Standing by for beam out.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, then hits his combadge again, figuring there isn't any time to waste::  *EM* Davis to Southland; report to station, Deck 22.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Nods, not altogether satisfied with monitoring from a distance alone, but realizing their hands are somewhat tied::
Ian_Williams says:
::returns the nod, likewise hitting his ‘badge:: *Claymore*: Claymore, energize.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Several people at the bar take Foster up on his drink offer.  However, Vince and Camoit don't respond.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> *Williams* Energizing.  ::Beams him and the indicated equipment to science lab 2.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: I know you have your concerns, as do I, Lieutenant.  I don't want to put any of our crew in jeopardy.
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Ian and the Proca computer core materialize in science lab two.
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
*Claymore*: Energize.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> *MO* Aye, Ma'am, energizing. ::Beams the MO and the body to sickbay::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Stevens and one of the Proca bodies materialize in sickbay.
Host SMDrew says:
