Mission Summary:  11001.21

The USS Don Johnson is reeling after an explosion in engineering that has left main systems offline.

They have discovered the identity of the murderer as well as a possible motive.

Everett has fled the ship, appearing on screens uttering a final threat.

When last we saw Everett his hand was slamming down toward a console.  Screens went black as phaser fire lurched toward the ship with shields down.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: nods and hands the helm over to the aFCO::

ACTION:  Phaser fire impacts the hull, reserve power fluctuates.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::sits in her chair on the bridge rocking with the hits from the phaser fire::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::In main engineering, trying to reroute secondary power::

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::swears and moves to take tactical quickly runs a check of the tactical systems::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Find out where that's coming from and fire back!

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::falls out of his rack:: Self: Damn it! I had a headache!  What now? ::stumbles in the dark for his uniform::

ACTION:  Sensors pick up ships approaching from Alpha Majoris.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Skipper we have incoming. Attempting to ID them now

EO Reese says:
 ::Approaches the CEO::  CEO:  Chief, the data-link module has been replaced, but we can't get the mains to re-initialize.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Get on diagnostics, there's got to be a reason.

EO Reese says:
 ::grumbles as he turns to an open computer terminal::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: When you find out, let me know.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, What's going on, why was I thrown from my bunk? ::walks out of his quarters and into TL:: TL: Main Engineering

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks down at the sensor readout:: CO: This ain good skipper. Looks like the some mob that hit us before

ACTION:  Diagnostics reveal further acts of sabotage.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Yes but when they found out what we were doing, they stopped, right?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*EO*: You might notice that the primary systems are down, the cause was no accident. We have a saboteur aboard.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Chief, a moment.

ACTION:  The approaching ships, open attack on the delegate's shuttle.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Well one can only hope they repeat the same thing this time or were in big trouble

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::moves over to Reese, and looks over his shoulder at the computer display, jaw drops open::  Reese:  He couldn't have been acting alone.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::raises his eyebrows as he hears the CEOs words:: *CEO*: Saboteur? What's the status of the core? ::walks into Main Engineering::

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::swears and puts an image on the main viewer:: CO: there hitting the shuttle

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Not if he did all this.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: looks back down at sensors:: CO: Got him skipper. Plasma trail

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks to EO_Garlingus::  EO:  The core is stable for now, be were going to have to baby-sit it until we get the primaries back up.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Hail them!

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO: And Reese here discovered some more surprises.

ACTION: The attacking ships, destroy the shuttle and then drop to all stop.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::opens a channel:: CO: Aye skipper

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods and accesses the dilithium chamber monitor as well as the matter and anti-matter flow rate:: CEO: Surprises?

ACTION:  A loud keening sound can be heard through much of the DJ.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
All: What is that noise?

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::runs the sound through the computer::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: AM Ship: This is the USS Don Johnson, why did you destroy that shuttle?

ACTION:  The Alpha Majoris ships do not respond to hails.

EO Reese says:
CEO/EO:  He managed to disable the starboard power coupling, the main navigational deflector, and both torque sensors.  It’s like he doesn't want us to go anywhere.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::checks for a source of the sound:: CO: Skipper seems the sound came from us. It was L`M`t

CMO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
::lets out a frustrated sigh as she sits at her desk. There is a lull in the patients at the moment::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Ah, that makes sense, mourning, maybe.

CMO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
::winces at the noise:: What the...?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: How soon can you have us up and running, Lieutenant?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Reese, put D/C teams on it.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Track that plasma trail you saw earlier.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  It's gonna take a little longer than first thought Captain.  Our Mister Everett left us a few more things to deal with first.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::pulls up the deflector power flow diagram and takes note of disruptions in command and control functions:: EO_Reese: Good catch Reese, look at this.  ::points to the screen with the diagram:: CEO/EO: See here, it looks like there's a loop being caused at this point causing a system failure of some kind... I wonder what's causing it.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Estimate?

ACTION: The wormhole opens briefly, power flickers on the DJ, and when sensors register again, L`m`t is no longer on the ship.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::::begins tracing the plasma trail::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::tongue in cheek::  *CO*:  Two weeks.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Please tell me you're kidding, Lieutenant.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks down at the sensors:: Self: dammit

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::runs a level five diagnostic and sends orders to the on duty engineering team to commence a level three diagnostic::

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Skipper the last delegate is gone

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  I sure hope so, sir.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Well, maybe it's for the best.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Amen to that skipper

ACTION:  The Alpha Majoris ships scan the DJ, then return to the planet.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: I know your teams are on it. We've picked up a plasma trail that might be Everett's ship and we'd like to investigate.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CEO/EO: Perhaps we start here.  ::points to a Jeffries tube near the power coupling leading to the starboard nacelle::

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::registers the scan:: CO: They just scanned us before turning towards the planets dark side

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::nods to EO_Garlingus::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Maybe they've figured out that L`m`t is no longer on the ship.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::continues tracking the cloaked ship:: CO: And we are no longer worth anything to them. I’m feeling a tad insulted

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::pats his hip where his belt should be:: Self: Shoot.  CEO: I've got the wrong uniform on.  If it's okay sir, I'm going to put on my work uniform and crawl up there.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO: With all due speed, ensign.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Or, maybe, they're in cahoots with Everett.  Who knows.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: I’m glad your the one writing the after action report on this one

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Thanks. ::gives him a scowl::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CEO: Aye sir. ::bows out embarrassed and heads into a TL:: TL: Ugh, my quarters..  ::starts unbuttoning his uniform::

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles:: CO: How about I bring the beer and steaks

EO Reese says:
CEO: You know, it looks like he locked the deflector into a learning cycle.  It could be responding like it was when it was originally installed in the ship yards.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Sounds good to me.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Seamus, I hate to keep bothering you, but can we at least move somewhat?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Those cycles take weeks, we haven't got weeks.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods to the crewman that enters the TL but grimaces as he is delayed::

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::begins checking the damage control efforts::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::jumps to his console, and transfers power to impulse engines::  *CO*:  I can give you impulse Captain.  We have a problem with our main deflector, so I wouldn't recommend warp for now.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Impulse is good for now.

EO Reese says:
CEO:   Well, it looks like the deflector's master control program has been wiped out, we're going to have to left it finish learning.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::walks into sickbay:: CMO: Doc...you here?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Check the library computer, we should have back-up of that program file.

CMO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
::hears someone calling her and looks up from her computer:: XO: In here, Commander.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::feels the ship lurching as he realizes the ship is moving without the torque sensors being in alignment... Or powered on:: Self: I wonder... ::steps off the TL and runs into his quarters changing into his work uniform:: Self: To have caused this much damage, and to have had it happen all at the same time would require some sort of arming/disarming mechanism that can be accessed remotely...

EO Reese says:
CEO:  I like long shots.  ::access the computer::

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*Highway*: Gunny, stand down and return to the armory

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::walks into the Doctor's Office:: CMO: Just wanted to see how you were doing

GSGT Highway says:
*CIV*: Aye sir

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Right now it’s all we have.  *EO*:  Frank, we're going to be in for a bumpy ride, I need you to look after the torque sensors.

CMO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
::runs her fingers through her hair:: XO: Well aside from feeling a little overwhelmed... I'm OK. Why?

GSGT Highway says:
Marines: Well ladies you heard the man. Let's move out.  We ain’t getting paid by the hour here.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CMO: Just wanted to be sure. If you need to take time let me know.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::puts on his work uniform and exits his quarters straightening his comm badge:: *CEO*: Aye sir, Hey, I was wondering... To have all these go wrong without us noticing, and to have them all go wrong at the same time, our saboteur must have had an arming device... And if he has an arming device that's able to be accessed remotely... There could be a way to use it to "disarm"

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::hits the call button for a turbolift::

CMO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
::pauses for a moment. Then shakes her head:: XO: Thanks, but I'm fine. Nothing can be worse than dying, believe me... been there... done that... ::smirks::

ACTION:  The library backup shows to be corrupted.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  It would, be we don't even know what frequency he's using.  Why, you thinking we could reverse the damage that way?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*XO*: Commander, we've got damage, but impulse power, probably not much, and Wall has found a plasma trail leading to the dark side of Alpha Majoris.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CMO: Carry on then Lieutenant...::smiles:: *CO*:How bad are we?

EO Reese says:
::shakes head::  CEO:  back up files are corrupted.  We're not going to warp anytime soon.

CMO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
::hears his call:: XO: You better go. Thanks for checking on me...

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*XO*: Let's just say the engineers are going to be VERY busy.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Work the problem, we're going to need a way.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps onto a TL after the crewmen get off:: TL: Engineering.  *CEO*: Well, maybe.  At least we'd be able to find where he placed his triggers, so that we'd have a place to repair instead of an arbitrary system being offline.  It could speed up our diagnosis.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::in the her office slowly walking around the room:: TRO_Smith: So, Lieutenant, you had left the transporter room for lunch

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::smiles again and nods::*CO*:Ahhh...MacLeod likes a challenge

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*XO*: Yes he does.  He tried to tell me it would take two weeks to finish.  I begged him to tell me he was kidding.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Makes sense, see what you can do.

TRO Smith says:
::gulps:: CTO: Yes, sir. ::cringes a little bit as Fowler stops, raises an eyebrow then resumes walking:: Uhm, Ma'am? ::sighs at her small nod:: Ma'am

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TRO_Smith: And you followed standard procedure

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::tries not to laugh::*CO*:I am sure he was...maybe. I'll be on the bridge in a few moments

TRO Smith says:
CTO: Yes, ma’am

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*XO*: Very well. Bridge out.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  What if we contacted Starfleet.  They would have to original program files.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TRO_Smith: Doesn't procedure require that the transporter rooms are to be manned at all times?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CEO*: Aye sir.  ::steps off the TL and heads to a side storage room in Main Engineering to get his gear together:: Self: Torque sensors... ::pulls up a diagnostic screen of the torque sensors on one of his viewers and watches as it runs::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::enters the bridge moments later::

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::nods at the XO::

TRO Smith says:
CTO: Yes ma'am.  My relief was supposed to be here

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks up as the XO enters:: XO: So, what have you been doing?  Checking on the crew.?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
Humm... Computer: What is the exact time that the following systems went offline: The Main Deflector, The Torque Sensors and the Starboard power coupling?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TRO_Smith: 'Supposed' to?  ::stops in front of Smith and looks at him::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Yes...just stopped into see the doctor...she seems okay. Just happy to be alive for the most part

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::pulls up internal sensor logs::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  The alternative is to let the deflector array finish learning how to operate...  Or, we could try linking the deflector array from one of our shuttlecraft into our main deflector array.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: I'm sure she is. I'm glad she's all right.

Computer says:
EO: 1113 hours.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  You mean, use the shuttlecraft's deflector control program to control the DJ's?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TRO_Smith: ::squirms in his chair:: CTO: Yes ma'am.  We've done it before, though

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::sits down in his chair:: CO: I am still trying to figure out how the heck Everett fooled us all and why

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::grabs an engineering tricorder and fastens it to his belt:: Computer: Report any anomalous power readings, or transmissions or subroutines that initiated at that time. ::dials in the internal sensor logs for the 1110-1113 readings::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  The deflector designs are virtually the same, only thing different is the size, and power requirements.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Yeah that's something I don't understand.  I know Seamus does a thorough job checking out his engineers when they start working for him.  Maybe Everett got paid to do this.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TRO_Smith: Left the transporter room unmanned?  Now I find that interesting.  :;makes a note on the padd in her hand, resumes walking:: And how long would the room remain empty?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Do we have a fix on his last known heading?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Wall picked up a plasma trail heading for the dark side of Alpha Majoris.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Feel up for a game of cat and mouse?

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Yeah, so all we need to do is get the DJ think it’s a shuttlecraft...  No problem.  ::rolls eyes::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TRO_Smith: CTO: Well, ah, not long.  And we lock the board whenever we leave.  ::sits up straighter and tries to impress the CTO::

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Aye ma'am

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TRO_Smith: I see.  Lieutenant, you do know that the regs are there for a reason, right

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::notes the explosion:: *CEO*: It appears there was an explosion in Main Engineering?? That seems to be the link to when our systems failed.  Did this explosion occur near any of our isolinear processors?

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::locks onto the plasma trail and tracks it::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Always, but remember we can't move very fast.

TRO Smith says:
 ::Nods::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Shall we go to yellow alert?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Yes.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*EO*: Yes, a data-link processor inside the wall of an equipment locker.  Ebanez should be finished the repair by now.

TRO Smith says:
CTO: But Ma'am we've never had a problem before

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CIV: Yellow alert Commander.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Aye ma’am :;imitates the yellow alert::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TRO_Smith: The regs were written to prevent problems, Lieutenant.  Not to 'impose' on your time

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::checks weapons status::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::goes ship wide::*ALL HANDS*::This is the bridge...we are going after our friend Everett. We will bring him to justice. All hands report to stations. Send department status and updates to the bridge. Lemmick out.

TRO Smith says:
CTO: But...

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TRO_Smith: No 'buts', Lieutenant.  You will be on report.  You're confined to quarters until further notice.  I don't think the captain will go easy on you, so don't expect her to.  ::stands up:: Lieutenant T'las will escort you to your quarters.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Very "commanding" of you, Commander. ::smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CIV: Set course on last known heading and engage at best speed...::looks at the CO:: CO: Be vewry vewry quiet...we hunting engineers!

TRO Smith says:
::looks shocked:: CTO: But, we do it all the time!  I'm not the only one who does it!

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::moves to helm and lays in the new course:: XO: course laid in at best speed

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::laughs:: XO: Who says an Executive Officer can't have a sense of humor.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TRO_Smith: That's good to know.  Perhaps I'll suggest some refresher classes for you and the 'others' so you can all brush up on proper procedures.  Dismissed ::motions T'las to remove Smith::
