ACTD Proudly Presents:

Star Trek: USS Apache NCC 61491
Episode 23: The Majestic

GreenMan says:
The Apache crew, upon the "accident" with the Majestic split in two groups to try and help everyone out of a dangerous situation

CTO Yeung's group is headed to Main Engineering to restore power to the ship

CO Linard's group reached the bridge only to find Captain Adama dead and the computer on countdown

Returning to the Majestic is Cmdr. Storal, who ignores everything that's going on

5... 4... 3... 2...

<<<<< RESUME MISSION - Week 4 >>>>>
OPS_Sorsion says:
::looks back at the CTO and the MO:: CTO/MO: Looks like we find our way down for the rest of the way.  After you gentlemen.
EO_Tana says:
::searches out the active controls and starts what he hopes is a reversal process:: Self: Where's the big red button? These things always have a big red button!
CTO_Yeung says:
::walking down the corridor of deck 30, feeling the walls for a hatch::
CMO_Naegle says:
::looks at Tana to see if he's going to follow the captain's order to shoot::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: 1...
CO_Linard says:
::runs to the Computer:: CSO/CMO/EO: I'll be dammed if this thing is going to kill us all ... ::punches some buttons on the panel of the computer hitting what she thinks is a shut down::
XO_Storal says:
#::sets a course for the Majestic and engages::
CSO_Bern says:
::quickly scans the computer controls:: Tana: I don't see anything...
GreenMan says:
ACTION: something blowing is heard and it reverberates through the gigantic ship hardly
OPS_Sorsion says:
::feels something shaking:: FCO: Could we have collided with something?
CTO_Yeung says:
::comes across something:: OPS/MO/FCO: Hey guys, I think I found a hatch to a Jeffries tube...
CO_Linard says:
::prays to Khrysaros:: Self: Please that just be a conduit exploding....
EO_Tana says:
::is rocked on  his feet from the explosion but ignores it, used to doing his job with a ship blowing up around him:: Self: Damned civilians! ::kicks in an access panel and crouches, pulling out isolinear chips::
FCO_Terman says:
::shrugs:: CTO: It's possible, but I think that if we hit something it'd make a bigger bump then that.
CO_Linard says:
::blindly:: Computer: Okay, what just exploded....
GreenMan says:
ACTION: in a sequence, several more explosions are heard and the Majestic shakes even more like she's going to be rippled apart
XO_Storal says:
#::activates the auto pilot and goes to the replicator for a much needed beverage::
CTO_Yeung says:
::grabs onto the wall for support:: Self: Now what?!
OPS_Sorsion says:
CTO/MO/FCO: We must find an escape pod!
CMO_Naegle says:
::waits for a big boom, but doesn't feel one, just smaller little ones::
FCO_Terman says:
::staggers:: CTO: But then again...
CO_Linard says:
CSO/CMO/EO: Okay, I want to know what that was.... and why we're still here.....
CO_Linard says:
::grabs on to the computer and stabs at the panels, hoping something will tell her what's going on::
MO_Powers says:
OPS: escape pod? why?
CO_Linard says:
::tries to steady herself::
CSO_Bern says:
::holds his breath, kneeling on the floor and trying to steady himself against the shaking::  EO: Tana! What's going on?
CMO_Naegle says:
::looks concerned:: CO: I'm with you on that one, Captain. I was waiting to meet my Maker!
CO_Linard says:
CSO/CMO/EO: Everyone Okay? ::smashes her hip on a console::..... ow!
FCO_Terman says:
Self: This is exactly why I despise vacations.
OPS_Sorsion says:
MO: Feels like the ship is being torn apart! ::suddenly has a thought:: CTO: We could use a transporter from one of the Escape pods to get ourselves to Engineering faster, couldn't we?
XO_Storal says:
#Self: I hope the crew is having a blast on the Majestic. ::chuckles:: It will be great to experience more of that ship.
EO_Tana says:
::pulls out as much of the ID synch circuitry as he can and then crawls back out, overriding the controls:: CSO/CO: Working on it! ::runs what he guesses is a diagnostic and then moves to a separate console, looking for anything that will tell him what they need to know::
CMO_Naegle says:
::nods:: CO: Captain, are you okay?
GreenMan says:
ACTION: as suddenly as they begun, the explosions cease. All seems to quiet down ... for now
CTO_Yeung says:
::tries to hold himself steady:: OPS: And where do you suppose the escape pods are?
CO_Linard says:
CMO: About as good as I'm gonna be.....::rubs her hip:: ...that's gonna leave a mark....
CO_Linard says:
::with clumps of hair in her face, she brushes them aside to look around as everything gets quiet::
CTO_Yeung says:
::looks around:: OPS/MO/FCO: Well, we're still in one piece. Help me get this hatch open. Maybe we can crawl through the Jeffries tubes to the engineering room.
XO_Storal says:
#Self: Well I should be in sensor range of the Majestic. ::taps the console and sees the ship:: Ah! there you are.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::ponders for a moment:: CTO: On the outer hull of every deck? At least there should be. ::feels like he's surfing in very harsh waters, good thing he knows how to surf::
FCO_Terman says:
::breathing heavily:: CTO: That was fun. ::sarcastic::
CSO_Bern says:
::crawls to his feet and stands at a computer panel adjacent to the one Tana is working on, trying to look for a function that will check on the atmospheric conditions, fearing there may be a hull breach or open airlock::
CO_Linard says:
CSO/CMO/EO: Well..... ::looks around::.... lucky we didn't panic or something....
MO_Powers says:
::helps Jon with the hatch::
CMO_Naegle says:
::nods:: CO: Take it easy, Captain. Don't aggravate the injury.
EO_Tana says:
::runs through the list of options, bogged down in too many "Are you sure?" questions:: Self: Damned Windows 2400.. ::brings up a schematic::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::goes over to the CTO and holds onto one side of the doors pulling at it along its track:: CTO: Aye sir.
CTO_Yeung says:
::struggles a bit at opening the hatch::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Storal's shuttle enter Caprica system and drops to impulse, headed for the Majestic
EO_Tana says:
::looks over his shoulder:: CSO: Can you find the sensors on this tub, sir?
CMO_Naegle says:
::chuckles a bit at that:: CO: I'd hate to think what would have happened if Tana would have actually shot the computer.
Computer says:
EO: You are on 'Read Only' Mode now. Do you wish to reboot? Y/N
CO_Linard says:
CSO/CMO/EO: Okay, let's find out what that was shall we? and hope it doesn't happen again..... Mr Bern, check the sensors.... Dr. Naegle... check those bodies.... find out what killed them
CTO_Yeung says:
::grunts as he manages to get the hatch open::
EO_Tana says:
::chooses No and adjusts the properties himself to give himself access::
CTO_Yeung says:
::looks inside at the deep blackness in the tube::
CMO_Naegle says:
::nods:: CO: Aye Captain.  ::walks toward the body of Captain Adama::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::falls back as the hatch slides open:: CTO/MO/FCO: I'm okay. ::stands up and pats himself down:: CTO: After you sir.
CSO_Bern says:
EO: I'm looking...these computers couldn't be any less functional. ::finally manages to bring up short range sensor readings:: EO/CO: I'm reading that we've stopped moving toward the star...that's odd.
EO_Tana says:
::looks at the wide-open view from the cruiseship's bridge and marvels::
XO_Storal says:
#COMM: Majestic: Shuttle Valkyre to  Majestic  respond please.
CO_Linard says:
CSO: Well, that's a comfort....
EO_Tana says:
::drags his gaze away:: CSO: Are the engines on?
CTO_Yeung says:
::partially climbs in, feeling the walls:: OPS/MO/FCO: Usually, there should be an emergency flashlight in here....
Computer says:
EO: access denied. Rebooting now
CO_Linard says:
EO: Have you been able to access that computer yet, Mr Tana?
CSO_Bern says:
EO: I don't know... ::clenches his jaw and starts typing again, only to be told the computer is restarting::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: all consoles go black, with a bleeping sound as they restart
EO_Tana says:
::sighs at the shutdown screen:: CO: Not yet ma'am, we're waiting. But at least we're not blowing up.
EO_Tana says:
::folds his arms::
CMO_Naegle says:
::kneels down at the body of Captain Adama and turns him over to check out his phaser burns more carefully::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods and crawls in behind the CTO:: CTO: This isn't a Starfleet vessel unfortunately.
CO_Linard says:
EO: Well at least we're having some luck today....
CTO_Yeung says:
::sighs and begins crawling forward::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::thinks for a second as he continues to crawl:: CTO: I'm even surprised there are jeffrie's tubes at all.
GreenMan says:
ACTION: with all computer systems down, there's no response to Storal's hail. A pity
CTO_Yeung says:
OPS: Probably became standard ship construction after being so well on Federation Starships.
OPS_Sorsion says:
CTO: Probably right sir. ::looks back at the MO and the FCO:: MO/FCO: How are you guys faring?
MO_Powers says:
CTO: I was expecting some luxury passages or something.
FCO_Terman says:
::crawls in behind the others::
CO_Linard says:
::watches the computer panels, waiting for it to power up again::
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Well, the good news is, the captain wasn't killed by a Star Fleet weapon.
EO_Tana says:
::taps his foot, waiting:: CO: Every time they come out with one of these new ship control software packages, they claim it's 'faster, better, more efficient' ::scoffs::
FCO_Terman says:
OPS: Okay for being stranded
XO_Storal says:
#Self: that’s odd. I'm well within comm range. ::runs a quick diagnostic on the com array::
CSO_Bern says:
::rubs his chin, looking out the viewport:: EO/CO: You know...there are enough stars in the system...I'll bet there are several gravity wells at work here...  ::thinks, staring into space::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Jordan's hand slips as he crawl down behind the others. In a cascade effect all of them begin to roll down the jeffery tube like a roller coaster
CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CMO: If you call that good news then, okay... can you give me an idea of what kind of weapon?
CTO_Yeung says:
::tumbles down the tube:: Self: Aargh!!
OPS_Sorsion says:
FCO: No wooorriiiiiies!! ::tumbles down behind the CTO:: Self: Not again!
FCO_Terman says:
::shouts:: All: I hate jeffery tubes!
XO_Storal says:
#Self: The comm is working. ::scratches his goatee::
XO_Storal says:
#::uses the shuttle sensors to do a sweep of the Majestic::
CO_Linard says:
CSO: You think that's why we've stopped moving?
EO_Tana says:
::kicks the console again:: CSO: None that would just stop us dead like this, though right? We'd still be accelerating in one direction or the other.
CTO_Yeung says:
::crashes onto the floor along with all the others:: OPS/MO/FCO: Ugh...is everybody all right? ....and who's foot in my face?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::lands and into the CTO and gets landed on/by the MO and FCO:: Self: Ouch!
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Just a standard phaser, ma'am. Available from any weapons armory in the universe.
CO_Linard says:
::watches the panel light up before her:: CSO/CMO/EO: Finally....
EO_Tana says:
::smiles as the screens flicker back to life and claims victory with the old Technical Tap once again:: CO: I'll see what I can find out, ma'am.
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Tana's 'skills' manage to get the computers working again, but several systems are off-line, disconnected. Access is restricted
FCO_Terman says:
::gets a few scrapes and bruises on the way down but has a nice cushioned landing on the MO::
CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CMO: Thank you, Janet... Now all we need to do is find out who's responsible for this mess.... and when I do....::breaks off with a vengeance as she watches the panel to find out what systems are running::
CTO_Yeung says:
::manages to extricate himself from the rest:: Self: Owwie...
XO_Storal says:
#::tries again:: COMM: Majestic: Cmdr. Storal to Majestic respond please.
EO_Tana says:
::moves away from the other people and sits at one of the forward consoles:: CO: Captain, we're not much better off now than we were before. I can't tell you much more now than we got off the general use kiosks on the lower decks. We still have no control of this ship.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::pats himself off and stands up feeling if all his bones are in place:: CTO: Sorry sir, it couldn't be helped, I assure you.  ::extends a hand to the MO and FCO::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: COMM system is down. No hails are received
XO_Storal says:
#::looks at the sensors:: Self: She is dead in space?
CMO_Naegle says:
::thinking out loud:: CO: I'll sedate you for that, sir!
MO_Powers says:
::pushes Jordan off:: Jordan: next time would you mind falling on someone else?
CO_Linard says:
::shakes her head:: EO: No good, Mr. Tana. Find out a way around it....
FCO_Terman says:
MO: But you're so soft... ::gets up::
CTO_Yeung says:
::rubs his head and looks for the hatch:: OPS: Nothing a vacation couldn't fix...oh wait....
CSO_Bern says:
::snaps out of his trance:: EO: Oh...can we get short range sensors back up again?
EO_Tana says:
::of course, one miracle coming up. just like that:: CO: I'll see what I can do, ma'am.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::glares at the CTO and chuckles:: CTO: Don't jinx it sir! ::feels the walls for a sign of location:: CTO/MO/FCO: Deck Thirty-Four. One deck below us. We should tread lightly for whatever phaser fire we heard over the comms could still be residing beyond these bulkheads.
CTO_Yeung says:
OPS/MO/FCO: Ok, let's proceed down to deck 35. Carefully and quietly this time, and keep your ears open.
EO_Tana says:
CSO: Uh.. that was probably on the standard set of systems to reactivate after a restart, for the safety of the ship. The secondary support systems would be man.. ::reads a line on the boot record:: Oh no.
XO_Storal says:
#::does a slow circle of the ship checking to see if all the escape pods are there, as well as the shuttle bay open::
CO_Linard says:
::taps her commbadge:: *CTO*: Linard to Yeung.
CSO_Bern says:
::taps a few keys, trying to remember how to get back to a display of local sensors:: EO: What's that you're doing?  ::glances at his screen::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: a red light is blinking on environmental control system panel
CO_Linard says:
::hears her hand make a dull thud against her chest and sighs very frustrated::
CTO_Yeung says:
::climbs down carefully to the final deck::
EO_Tana says:
::gets up:: CO/All: Ma'am, the Environmental Control Systems didn't come back on with the restart.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods in affirmation to the CTO and follows his lead down the stairs:: 
CO_Linard says:
::wants to scream but instead clenches her fists::
FCO_Terman says:
::the latinum he 'found' clinks quietly as he moves::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::lands on the floor of Deck 35 in the Jeffrie's tube and looks for the next hatch::
CTO_Yeung says:
::finds the hatch and pushes it open just a crack::
CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to the CO: CO: Captain, I know it's frustrating.  We're kind of trapped.  But we'll get through this.  We've gotten through worse.
CSO_Bern says:
CO: Well...if there's any good news to be had, we've reached a point of gravitational interference between several of the stars...we've come to what looks like stop, but we'll pull free and begin heading back into that star in about thirty or so minutes, give or take.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::pulls out his dinner knife and stands on the opposing side of the hatch that the CTO is opening::
CTO_Yeung says:
::takes a peek outside the jeffries tube and into the corridor::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Deck 35 seems deserted
XO_Storal says:
#::taps his console and sees that there are no Starfleet facilities or anything else in this sector:: Self: Well we are  on our own arent we.
CTO_Yeung says:
::whispers:: OPS/MO/FCO: Looks clear. Let's move. ::opens the hatch wide open and climbs out::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods in acknowledgment and follows the CTO close behind his knife drawn but down so as not to accidentally inflict damage to the Cmdr.::
FCO_Terman says:
::follows everyone else::
CO_Linard says:
::smiles:: CMO: Don't you just hate coming up against a brick wall everywhere you turn?
XO_Storal says:
#::flies the shuttle over to the port shuttle bay:: Self: By the Emissary! The shuttle bay is open:: guides the shuttle into the bay and lands.::
EO_Tana says:
::ignores the conversation and concentrates on why there's less breathable air in the ship than there should be, and backtracks through the fault reports:: CO: Ma'am, we've got hull breaches on several decks, big ones. And the atmospheric fields aren't enough. Estimate we'll be out of air just outside of 30 minutes.
CTO_Yeung says:
::looks down the corridor in both directions:: OPS/MO/FCO: Great...which way is the engineering room?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::shrugs at the CTO:: CTO: It should be in this section, can't go wrong either way. We're sealed off at either end.
CSO_Bern says:
::raps his fingers on the edge of the panel for a minute, before looking back to Tana's panel:: EO: Do we still have computer links to engineering?
CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles back at her:: CO: Yes, I do. I want to be in on the investigation of who killed the crew.
FCO_Terman says:
::tries to think back to those interesting books on the Majestic he bought::
CTO_Yeung says:
::shrugs:: OPS: Yeah. Come on, let's head this way. ::walks down the corridor::
CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CSO/CMO/EO: Does anyone know the way to the shuttlebays?
XO_Storal says:
#::before leaving the shuttle he activates the emergency beacon::
CSO_Bern says:
CO: I can probably pull up a map here, Captain... ::checks the computer, hoping something so simple won't take too long::
CO_Linard says:
::nods and heads to the CSO::
CO_Linard says:
CSO: See if you can find out how many shuttles this thing is equipped with.
CSO_Bern says:
CO: Right here. ::pulls up a map to the shuttlebay on the panel to his immediate left::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods to the CTO and follows him looking for large doors::
XO_Storal says:
::exits the shuttle and looks around  the  bay:: All: Hello?! That’s strange...no flight crew.
CTO_Yeung says:
::comes across a pair of large doors:: OPS/MO/FCO: Hey, I think these might be the doors to engineering.
CTO_Yeung says:
::presses his ear to the doors, trying to hear through them::
CO_Linard says:
CSO: We could use one of the shuttles to contact the nearest ship for help.
CSO_Bern says:
::checks the ship's register for any shuttles on board::
FCO_Terman says:
CTO: Then I suppose we should open them.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods and heads over to the override panel hoping their may be some left to at least put a crack in the gap between the two large doors:: CTO: Hear anything?
EO_Tana says:
::pats Emma on the head again and gets up from the console:: CO/CSO: There's not much I can do to help out Engineering from here. Maybe if I could get down there and assist Commander Yeung... but there's too many linkages down.
CO_Linard says:
CSO/EO: What about to the shuttlebay?
XO_Storal says:
Self: OK no flight crew and no power. Not a good sign ::enters his shuttle and grabs a wrist lamp and a phaser::
CTO_Yeung says:
::stands up straight and shrugs:: OPS/FCO/MO: Can't hear anything. Help me pry it open.
CTO_Yeung says:
::pulls on one door::
CO_Linard says:
::looks to Dr. Naegle:: CMO: Janet, check the computers for any logs that may have been created just before this happened. It might be able to shed some light on the situation
MO_Powers says:
::pulls on the other door::
EO_Tana says:
::shrugs:: CO: It should be fine. It didn't show up on the fault reports.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods to the CTO and flips the lever for the manual override then goes over to see if it did anything getting on the opposing door of the CTO to assist in the opening::
CSO_Bern says:
CO: The manifest includes several short-range shuttles. Nothing we could use to get out of the system.
XO_Storal says:
::activates the lamp and cautiously heads to the bridge::
CMO_Naegle says:
::nods and goes over to a console:: CO: Aye sir.
CSO_Bern says:
::runs across the ship's log while looking at the manifest and so forth...decides to pull up the more recent entries::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::feels some of the door open and hopes it's enough to get through::
XO_Storal says:
::reaches a stairwell:: Self: Looks like I’m gonna get my workout early...only 41 decks to go.
CMO_Naegle says:
::touches a few panels looking for ship's logs:: CO: I've got the logs, Captain.  Looking for useful information now.
CO_Linard says:
CSO: Would one of them be able to send out a distress call?
CO_Linard says:
CMO: Good work Janet. Let me know the second you find something
CMO_Naegle says:
::nods and goes back to looking:: CO: I'll do it, sir.
CSO_Bern says:
CO: It's possible. However, our proximity to the star could disrupt subspace communication.  ...And the shuttles don't have long-range comm either. Makes sense I guess...no point in putting long range comm units on short range shuttles.
GreenMan says:
ACTION: the CTO's group manage to pull the doors open. Yay! There's Main Engineering
XO_Storal says:
::as he climbs he silently sings  "99 bottles of Romulan ale" to pass the time::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::picks up his knife again and peeps through from his side nodding over to the CTO::
CO_Linard says:
CSO: Yes, that's true.
EO_Tana says:
CO: We should go anyway, ma'am. I might be able to rig it for higher gain once we're there. Worth taking a chance anyway.
CTO_Yeung says:
::pulls his dinner knife out, brandishing it like a mean, killing weapon::
CTO_Yeung says:
::finds it odd that it is so quiet::
CSO_Bern says:
::finds the latest ship's log entry and opens it::
CMO_Naegle says:
::checks the most recent entries:: CO: Bingo! Captain Adama's last log!
CTO_Yeung says:
::whispers:: FCO/OPS/MO: Let's move in, quietly and carefully.
CO_Linard says:
::looks over at the CMO:: CMO: Okay Doctor, let's hear it.
CTO_Yeung says:
::tip toes into engineering, keeping close to the walls::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::before hearing the CTO's orders charges into ME and stands in front of the warp core in a fighting stance looking around for anyone::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Main Engineering seems deserted. The MO trips on something on the floor and fall down. Only the computer voice is heard on M.E.
EO_Tana says:
::leans against a console, with EMMA sitting at his side::
XO_Storal says:
::As he ascends he stops every once  in awhile to listen for sounds::
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Aye sir. ::hits the button to play the log back::
MO_Powers says:
::gets up and looks to see what he tripped on::
CSO_Bern says:
::finds the computer denies him access, as the file is already open...looks over to find the Doctor investigating the same avenue, and waits for the playback::
CTO_Yeung says:
::looks at Sorsion’s direction, incredulous:: Self: So much for our stealthy approach....
CTO_Yeung says:
::turns to Powers:: MO: John, you all right?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::stands up straight and turns back to look at the CTO:: CTO: Nobody home. ::listens to what the computer speakers are saying::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: the playback of Adama's last logs come to a console
CO_Linard says:
::watches the console for the log::
MO_Powers says:
CTO: fine. I just tripped over something.
EO_Tana says:
::leans off and approaches the captain:: CO: Ma'am, permission to go to Deck 10 and see if I can restart the environmental controls.
CTO_Yeung says:
OPS/FCO: Check what's with the computer. Terman, stay with Sorsion.
CTO_Yeung says:
::walks over to Powers and bends down:: MO: What'd you trip on?
CO_Linard says:
::looks at him with a look of concern:: EO: I'm not so sure about letting you go alone, Mr. Tana.
Capt. Adama says:
<playback> ::panting, a rush of officers is running behind him:: Captains Log: I don't know what happened. All engines died. We are drifting into the blue giant. Power is off, we have no comm, either external or intraship. We can’t reach M.E....
M.E. Computer says:
Out Loud: 60... 59... 58...
CSO_Bern says:
CO: If Mister Tana thinks it's necessary to get systems back online, I can go with him, Captain. ::glances once at both of them::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods to the CTO and then to the FCO listening to the speakers and then rushing to what seems to be a master systems display pushing at the console seeing if it will turn on:: FCO: Let's find out what that count down is all about.
MO_Powers says:
CTO: I don't know. ::looks down at his feet to see what it was::
EO_Tana says:
CO/CSO: I can go by myself, they'll need you up here Lieutenant. Emma's downloaded the maps so she can guide me. You all need to get to the shuttles.
FCO_Terman says:
::hears the countdown:: OPS: I vow on my captains life that I will never go on another vacation by my own choice.
CO_Linard says:
::looks at them reluctantly, then nods:: CSO/EO: Alright then, check the bridge for weapons lockers before you go... take what you can in case you run into trouble
CMO_Naegle says:
::looks concerned at the console:: CO: I hope this shows what killed him.
FCO_Terman says:
::gets working on figuring out what's going to blow up this time::
CTO_Yeung says:
::eyes widen as he finds out what it is:: Self: Aw damn...
Capt. Adama says:
<on playback> Computer: I've sent the bridge crew to set the airlocks charges to detonate. My pilot informs me that we'll be crossing a LaGrange point soon, where the gravity of all three stars cancels each other. If we can do it correctly, the explosive decompression will stop our fall long enough
OPS_Sorsion says:
::squeaks in a grin but then his face turns somber again as he tries to get back to work::
MO_Powers says:
::sees the body:: CTO: It's just a body sir.
CTO_Yeung says:
::stands up straight, looking around him warily for any enemies::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: the body by Powers feet moans
CSO_Bern says:
::looks at the Captain once:: CO: Maybe I should stay here, just in case... ::wasn't particularly eager about heading off to deck ten, anyway::
MO_Powers says:
CTO: It's alive, it's alive.
EO_Tana says:
::leans closer to the distracted Bern and keeps his voice low:: CSO: Stay with them. Get them to the shuttles, and anyone else you can find. If I can't fix the air.. nobody has a chance. ::smiles a bit and heads for the lock and ladder with Emma::
MO_Powers says:
::crouches to see what he can do for the man::
CSO_Bern says:
::forces a smile:: EO: Ah, okay...
CTO_Yeung says:
::leans down to the person on the floor:: Person: Hey, you all right?
M.E. Computer says:
<M.E. Computer> 50... 49... 48...
CTO_Yeung says:
MO: Check him for injuries.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::attempts to bring up a history of commands sent into the consoles to determine what the crew was attempting to do::
CO_Linard says:
::looks after the EO:: EO: I told you I didn't want you going alone Mr. Tana...
MO_Powers says:
CTO: I'm way ahead of you sir. ::carries on checking for injuries::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Storal reaches Deck 12, and catches someone running in the corridor
CTO_Yeung says:
OPS/FCO: Sorsion, Terman, how are you two doing?
EO_Tana says:
::meets her gaze, for once looking his age:: CO: I work best alone, Captain Linard. Anyone else that's not an engineer would just slow me down. ::Tries to smile reassuringly:: I'll be fine. ::starts down the ladder with EMMA::
XO_Storal says:
::tries to see what was running::
FCO_Terman says:
CTO: I have no idea how this even works, let alone what I'm doing on it. ::presses a random button::
CSO_Bern says:
CO: Maybe he's right, Captain. ::scratches the back of his neck, timidly::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::bangs at the consoles a few times to clear up the flickering:: CTO: It's sketchy sir.  Computer: What is the meaning of this countdown?
EO_Tana says:
::ignores the burning on his palms as he starts sliding down from landing to landing::
XO_Storal says:
::exits the stairwell and follows the person::
CO_Linard says:
::looks at the CSO sternly then back at the EO::
XO_Storal says:
::sets phaser to stun::
FCO_Terman says:
::looks at Sorsion:: OPS: If you slam your fists in the console like that you'll break it.
MO_Powers says:
CTO: the man is barely conscious and mumbling stuff about people getting into ME screaming and shooting and taking over.
CSO_Bern says:
::shrinks back a little:: CO: Then again, maybe you're right too, Captain. ::clears his throat::
FCO_Terman says:
::presses some more buttons::
Capt. Adama says:
<on playback> "I'll know advise the passengers...." ::at this point, screams are heard in the background and people rushes into the bridge, firing phasers. The record ends abruptly::
CO_Linard says:
::clenches her jaw firmly::
CSO_Bern says:
::points to the ladder:: CO: Should I follow, um, him?
EO_Tana says:
::lands on a catwalk and runs across it to another access ladder heading down::
CMO_Naegle says:
::looks aghast at the computer:: All: NO! We were so close in finding out who killed him!
M.E. Computer says:
OPS: Plasma coolant system is off-line. Melt down of warp core #2 in 40... 39... 38...
CO_Linard says:
CSO: Knowing Mr. Tana, he's probably gotten too far by now. Only for the direness of our situation, I'd throw him in the brig....
OPS_Sorsion says:
FCO: Nonsense, these consoles are made to take rigorous abuse. ::tries to not have a melt down:: Computer: Reinitialize the plasma coolant system!
FCO_Terman says:
OPS: I'm no techie, but if I'm not mistaken, a warp core melting will do more than just make it difficult to fly away, right?
Person says:
::spots Storal:: XO: No, no don’t kill me please please
EO_Tana says:
::reads another deck marker, 6, and rushes down once more, followed effortlessly by the robot, more sure-footed on the rungs than he::
CO_Linard says:
::looks at the CMO:: CMO: What?
OPS_Sorsion says:
FCO: Most certainly. We all die if a melt down occurs. ::looks to the CTO:: CTO: Commander! Over here.
XO_Storal says:
Person: Put your hands where  I can see them and  lie face down on the floor
CTO_Yeung says:
::walks over to the FCO and OPS:: OPS: What is it?
CSO_Bern says:
::looks abruptly toward the Doctor as well at her exclamation::
XO_Storal says:
Person:Who are you?
Mr. Smith says:
::puts hands up as ordered:: XO: don't shoot don’t shoot
OPS_Sorsion says:
CTO: We have a situation sir... The countdown we hear is the time left to an imminent warp core melt down. I'm sure you know what that means.
CMO_Naegle says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: The log, if it would have played a few more seconds, we could have seen who killed him! ::gets a bit frustrated and slams her hand into the console.::
CTO_Yeung says:
::lets out a curse under his breath:: OPS: What's the cause?
EO_Tana says:
::starting to feel the strain on his palms at Deck 9 but keeps going, dropping the last six feet or so to the crosswalk on Deck 10, ducking from the clang as Emma lands behind him:: Emma: Which way? ::follows when her lights come back on and she starts to head left:
XO_Storal says:
Smith: Mr Smith, what happened to the ship?
FCO_Terman says:
::looks, horrified, at Sorsion:: OPS: But I can't die! I'm too young and handsome!
CO_Linard says:
::lays her hand on the CMO's arm:: CMO: Don't worry about it Janet, at least we know what happened to the rest of the bridge crew....
CMO_Naegle says:
::takes a deep breath:: CO: Yeah, I guess that's a comfort.
OPS_Sorsion says:
CTO: Coolant failure. ::gets irritated at the FCO's remark:: FCO: I'll make sure to make a note of it to the computer, maybe it'll rethink it's decision. Computer: Please respond to my command, reinitialize the plasma cooling system.
CO_Linard says:
CSO: Mr. Bern, I want you to see if you can override the ships internal commands. I want some control over this hulk...
Mr. Smith says:
XO: I don't know, those people just came in yelling at all of us, wanting our money and the keys to the ship's safe ::mumbles on the story to Storal::
MO_Powers says:
FCO: I agree you are young but handsome is not the word I would use.
CSO_Bern says:
CO: Well, with most of the links to engineering cut, I won't be able to get much. But I can give it a shot. ::walks back over to the console::
XO_Storal says:
Smith: What people.. when did this happen.
EO_Tana says:
::jogs through the unfamiliar ship, but recognizes the layout well enough:: Self: This is the last vacation I'm taking. I'm going to pump myself full of stimulants and never sleep again so I can stay on duty. ::takes a right, coming up against a bank of controls that looks like what he was searching for::
XO_Storal says:
::holsters his phaser::
M.E. Computer says:
CTO: Unable to comply. Not enough memory. Retry, Fail, Abort?
Mr. Smith says:
XO: Privateers, God know whom...didn’t recognize them. It was too quick
CSO_Bern says:
::checks to see whether he can send a text message to engineering::
CTO_Yeung says:
::stares at the console incredulously:: Self: Damn it.....computer, eject warp core #2!
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Tana's reach Environmental Control
XO_Storal says:
Smith: where is the rest  of the Apache crew? Have you seen anymore of the people who attacked the ship?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::bangs on the consoles of main engineering and heads over to a maintenance shaft leading to the plasma control conduit::
FCO_Terman says:
OPS: Could you manually reactivate the cooling system?
Mr. Smith says:
::panting:: XO: I think they went off to the bridge or main engineering
CO_Linard says:
CSO: Any luck?
EO_Tana says:
::frowns at all the red lights:: Emma: Look for broken conduits and start working on those. ::starts rebooting the systems one by one, undaunted by the long bank of controls::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Sorsion bangs on the Big Red Button
CSO_Bern says:
::not sure whether it will go through, but types out, "Have reached bridge, please reply.  -CSO Bern"::
CSO_Bern says:
CO: Not yet. ::shrugs a little::
XO_Storal says:
Smith: Calm down. I want you to go down to deck 41, my shuttle is there. See if  you can reach anyone on  the comm.
M.E. Computer says:
All: Warp core ejection sequence activated. 10... 9... 8...
CSO_Bern says:
CO: I tried to get a message through to engineering, but there's no telling whether it made it.
CTO_Yeung says:
Computer: Time to core failure?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::hears the speakers and returns back to Main Engineering:: CTO: It worked... FCO / MO / CTO: Let's get out of here!
CO_Linard says:
::looks around:: CSO/CMO: I'm beginning to wonder if we should just head for the shuttlebays. At least there we might be able to get a message out for help.
Mr. Smith says:
XO: I'll do my best sir. The maintenance ladder are that way ::points:: they lead up to deck 1
CSO_Bern says:
CO: That might be a good idea. ::presses a few buttons unnecessarily forcefully:: I'm getting nowhere, here.
CMO_Naegle says:
::looks at the CSO and CO:: CSO/CO: I'm game if you are, sir.
EO_Tana says:
::rubs his eyes and keeps switching banks of controls on, one by one, recognizing how much easier this would have been if he did have help::
CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CMO/CSO: Let's go then.
XO_Storal says:
::takes out his phaser and heads to the maintenance ladder:: Smith: Thank you. Now get going.. but slowly. Don’t draw attention to yourself.
EO_Tana says:
<Emma> ::patiently rewelding cut data transfer lines::
CMO_Naegle says:
::nods and follows::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Smith moves away to Deck 41 as ordered. Storal moves up to Deck 1. Tana manages to fix the environmental systems. On the bridge, the CSO succeeds on overriding the computers protocols and gain control over it
OPS_Sorsion says:
::charges out of ME along side the CTO and FCO as he hears the warp core ejection sequence begin::
CTO_Yeung says:
::grabs the man on the floor with the MO and exits ME::
CO_Linard says:
::heads for and climbs down the ladder::
EO_Tana says:
::flicks the last switch and sees all the green lights, then sags against the wall::
CSO_Bern says:
::blinks a few times, seeing the red environmental systems light turn off:: CMO/CO: Hey!  We got atmospheric controls back! Tana must have fixed things already.
GreenMan says:
ACTION PS.: the warp core is safely ejected as well
CMO_Naegle says:
::follows the CO:: CO: Do we still need to go to the shuttlebay, Ma'am?
CO_Linard says:
::looks back, a wry grin coming to her face:: CSO/CMO: Well I'll be darned...
OPS_Sorsion says:
::sighs a sigh of relief:: CTO: This thing only has one warp core, yes?
XO_Storal says:
::enters the bridge and looks around:: CO: I see we have a little meeting going on here?
CSO_Bern says:
::checks the systems list:: CO/CMO: And it looks like the comm and short range sensors are back online, too.
CTO_Yeung says:
::shrugs:: OPS: The one we dumped was marked #2, so I'm guessing there's more than one.
CO_Linard says:
::whips her head around hearing Storal's voice.... grins:: XO: Nice to see you could join us Commander
GreenMan says:
ACTION: Like a Knight's Tale, lights come back online as the XO shows up before the CO on the bridge. Ahh romance....
EO_Tana says:
::studies the systems board once more and grins like an idiot down at his little assistant:: Emma: You're a good girl. A very good girl. I'm going to give you a tune up when we go home.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::raises both eyebrows:: CTO: Are you serious? ::looks up as the lights turn back on and taps his comm badge to see if it's working:: *CO*: Lieutenant Sorsion to the Captain, come in sir.
CMO_Naegle says:
::notes the XO's arrival:: XO: Commander, good to see you.
EO_Tana says:
::looks at the green lights and returns to his ordinary dour self, heading back toward the ladders::
CO_Linard says:
::meets his gaze:: XO: Your Nephew okay?
CSO_Bern says:
::looks over his shoulder:: XO: Commander Storal, sir. Hi. ::checks the sensors again, if for no other reason than to shut off the darn beeping::
CTO_Yeung says:
OPS/FCO: OK, let's head back in. Dr. Powers will stay here with the injured man. Let's see if we can get an idea on the ships system's status.
XO_Storal says:
::holsters his phaser:: CMO: Good to see you as well Janet.
EO_Tana says:
::starts the long, slow climb back up towards the bridge::
FCO_Terman says:
CTO: We're gonna get back to work ASAP, right?
XO_Storal says:
CO: He's recovering.
CSO_Bern says:
CO: Captain! Some of the short-range shuttles are taking off.
CO_Linard says:
CSO: Taking off?
CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Where've you been?  You missed all the excitement.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods over to the CTO and heads back into Engineering deciding to try the comms again:: *CO*: Captain Linard, please respond.
XO_Storal says:
CSO: Hello Mr. Bern. All: What’s the situation?
CO_Linard says:
::looks at the console::
CTO_Yeung says:
::heads back into ME and goes directly to the master display::
CO_Linard says:
*OPS*: Go ahead Mr. Sorsian
XO_Storal says:
CMO:I had a family emergency.
CSO_Bern says:
XO: Some of the Majestic's shuttle complement have taken off...who do you suppose could be piloting them? The attackers?
CTO_Yeung says:
::let's out a sigh of relief to hear the commbadges work::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::goes over to an alternate display:: *CO*: Captain, the coolant system on the warp core in Main Engineering was off-line, in order to avert the melt down we ejected the core. It is good to hear your voice sir, is everything all right?
CSO_Bern says:
XO: Commander...they've taken your shuttle too. Interior scans indicate the shuttles have a large amount of latinum onboard...
CMO_Naegle says:
::realizes what she said:: XO: I'm sorry. The Captain told me that right before the excitement began. How are things back home, sir?
CO_Linard says:
*OPS*: More or less, the good news is that we're still here ... but according to sensors, whoever did this is getting away ...
XO_Storal says:
All: There wasn’t anyone down there, I ran into Mr. Smith and told him to head down there and see if he could reach anyone
CO_Linard says:
CSO: This thing has to have some kind of weaponry.... ::looks around on the consoles::
GreenMan says:
ACTION: from the starboard side of the Majestic, where it has been hidding, a privateer vessel of unknown design shows up rendezvousing with the fleeing shuttles
OPS_Sorsion says:
*CO*: To be quite honest, I'm not sure I want to know who did this until we're on board a Starfleet vessel with more capable weapons than shooting asteroids. ::goes over a system wide level 4 and level 5 diagnostic::
XO_Storal says:
CMO: Yes Janet, things are returning to normal
EO_Tana says:
::looks over at the wall, sees he's just on Deck 6, and resumes climbing::
XO_Storal says:
CSO: See if you can reach any Starfleet vessel and notify them of the shuttle.
CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: XO: I'm glad, Ky.
CSO_Bern says:
XO:  Oh, look at this...it looks like there's a ship moving in toward starboard...they might've been hiding from sensors in the star's gravity well.
CO_Linard says:
CSO: Does this thing have weapons capabilities? Can we disable that ship and keep it from leaving?
XO_Storal says:
CO: Just harsh language Ahkayah.
CSO_Bern says:
CO: No, I'm afraid not. Probably not even tractor beams, I'd guess... ::checks quickly::
CO_Linard says:
::shoots him a look:: XO: I've used enough of that already.... doesn't work
GreenMan says:
ACTION: a green light bleeps on the COMM console. Incoming hail from the XO's shuttle
CSO_Bern says:
::was about to open a comm on Starfleet frequencies, when the incoming light blinked on::  XO:  Sir, an incoming comm from the shuttle you came in on...should I answer?
XO_Storal says:
::activates the comm:: Cmdr. Storal here. Smith?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::looks over at the subspace antennae display as it flashes to life and raises an eyebrow:: CTO: Sir, the vessel is receiving a communication.
CTO_Yeung says:
OPS: Put it up so we can hear it.
EO_Tana says:
::reaches Deck 4 and stops to rest his arms before continuing up:: Self: Why didn't I fix the turbolifts instead.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods and taps in and puts it up on all monitors and speakers in ME::
Mr. Smith says:
# COMM: XO/CO: No hard feelings, Commander. I hope you can enjoy the rest of your vacations ::smiles through his peach-faced smile and closes the comm::
CSO_Bern says:
::steps slightly out of the way, working on an outgoing comm to Starfleet vessels::
CO_Linard says:
::growls under her breath wishing for once she could reach through the console and grab his throat::
XO_Storal says:
CSO: Quick the command codes to the shuttle.. See if you can remote control it!
OPS_Sorsion says:
::raises both eyebrows in surprise:: *CO*: Sir, we can maneuver the ship to collide with the fleeing vessels, or at least launch a multitude of escape pods to harrass them.
GreenMan says:
ACTION: all shuttles link with the privateer ship and it takes off at high impulse, then jumps to warp.
FCO_Terman says:
::sits in the flight chair and looks over the controls:: Self: Handles like a drunk platypus, I'd bet.
CMO_Naegle says:
::looks at the Captain, notes her reaction and is relieved that they feel the same way::
CTO_Yeung says:
::face hardens upon hearing the message and sighs:: Self: Can't we go anywhere and not get backstabbed?
CSO_Bern says:
XO: Oh...right! What are they? ::sends a few command strings to the Commander's shuttle...then watches the blips disappear on short range::  They've warped out...
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: I feel for you, sir. He duped us all.
EO_Tana says:
::drags himself out of the ladder back on to the bridge, sweating profusely from the climb:: All: What'd I miss?
CO_Linard says:
::looks to the rest of her crew:: ALL: At least we have thier liscence plate numbers....
XO_Storal says:
All :First Dorchel....now Smith. ::clenches his jaw::
FCO_Terman says:
All: If anyone forces me to take another vacation, I will kill them!
GreenMan says:
