Host Rich says:
Prologue: The Apache is about to depart SB 366 and head for Dresdan 4 to pick up some Ambassadors.
Host Rich says:
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Begin Mission}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::walks out of his ready room and sits down in his chair:: OPS: Once we are ready, request departure clearance.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::makes sure all crew and goods are aboard::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::sitting in her office, sipping on some tea::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::cross-references the manifest and sees that the last two crew members arrived five minutes ago - they have everyone they need, apparently::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::shifts a bit in the chair:: All: It looks like they reupholstered the chair. ::chuckles::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::grins a little, though he notes his chair feels like there might be thorns shoving up into his, well, erm..::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
COM: Star base Ops: Apache to Star base Operations - request permission to depart.
Host Rich says:
<SB_OPS> COM> OPS: Roger Apache. You are cleared for departure. Good luck.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Mattingly>  ::starts to feel a little nervous - this is her first posting out of the academy::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::does a half-swivel:: CO: We're ready, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Very well, take us out.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods to Mattingly, not wanting to usurp her role here::
Host Rich says:
Action: The Apache clears the station uneventfully.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Set course to Dresdan 4, Warp 6.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Mattingly> ::breathes a sigh of relief, happy that she didn't cause a fender bender before they even left dry-dock::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::sighs and tosses another PADD onto the stack collecting on her chair; more crew transfers::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Mattingly> ::plots the course and adjusts the ship's velocity::  CO: Aye sir.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Mattingly>  ::engages::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::taps his console:: *CNS*:Counselor, have you had a chance to go thru the Ambassador's dossier?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::does a quick calculation on his own given the captain's order, and their destination::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*CO*: It's on my list.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*CO*: But as of yet, no.
Host Rich says:
Action: As the FCO engages the Warp drive everything on the ship shuts off.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::feels the ship start to lurch forward, but then feels nothing::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::runs a level five diagnostic of the warp systems::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*CNS*:Good, I don’t think there is anything to worry about. But it doesn’t hurt to check. ::lurches forward::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS:  What happened?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::digs through the "unopened" stack:: *CO*: What's his name? 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Mattingly> ::looks around frantically, wondering what she did::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
ALL: Uh...I don't think that was supposed to happen.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: No response from any consoles...::tries Mattingly's console just to be sure::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: All I can say for sure is that the Bridge has no power.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::turns around::  CO: We need to get down to Engineering to see if the entire ship has been impacted.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::tries to access anything on his console, but realizes that the there is no power to any thing:: OPS: Make it happen Mr. Davis.
EO_Madsen says:
::works on the emergency power generators to try and get some power back::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods to Storal, wondering if life was a little easier when he was already in Engineering and didn't have to go there without the aid of turbo lifts::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gets up and walks towards the back of the Bridge, looking carefully at the junction of the bulkhead and the deck - he quickly finds the jefferies tube hatch and pops it open::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Mattingly> ::starts to turn around, but then faces back to the viewer - she's really not sure what to do::
EO_Madsen says:
::manages to get emergency power running and starts repairs to get main power back:: *CO*: I don't know what button you pushed on the bridge to turn the power off but I've managed to get emergency power running, sir.
Host Rich says:
Action: Emergency power comes on line.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::pokes his head back out the hatch after hearing word from Engineering - he's relieved, to say the least::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*EO*:Acknowledged Mr. Madsen. How long till we are operational again?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::returns to console and replaces the crewman who had started to take his place::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS :See if you can get a message back to SB 366. Tell them of our status and that our arrival at Dresdan IV will be delayed.
EO_Madsen says:
*CO*: It's hard to say, sir. It looks like someone at the station crossed the wires down here to make the power go off as soon as warp drives were engaged. I don't think I could get it done any sooner than 30 minutes.

OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: Acknowledged.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*EO*:Do you think it was intentional?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::immediately begins to pass a message on through the communications systems::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*CNS*:Counselor, what is your status?
EO_Madsen says:
*CO*: I couldn't say, sir. All I will say is that it was either intentional or someone on that station is incompetent. I doubt a cadet would make that mistake.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*CO*: The emergency lights turned on just now. I've got no computer power though. 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::sees that moderate power is reaching the communications systems - certainly enough to get a message out; this is confirmed by acknowledgement from Star base 366::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*EO*:Investigate the possibility that it was intentional, we are departing on a diplomatic mission. I’m sure that the Ambassadors have enemies.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*CNS*:Do you sense anything out of the ordinary?
EO_Madsen says:
*CO*: Which would you like first sir... full power or the investigation?
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*EO*:Power of course.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: Star base 366 acknowledges the message, sir.  They're trying to put together an engineering team, but they are not listing an ETA.
EO_Madsen says:
*CO*: Aye sir. ::gets to work on the power system::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::continues rerouting power away from non-essential systems; he also sounds the alarm for general quarters, as they may need to move the crew to the shelter areas::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*CO*: I'm sensing a lot of confusion, but it's hard to tell if there is anything sinister because the whole ship is astir...
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::nods to OPS:: TO: Mr. Verall, step up patrols around the sensitive areas of the ship.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
<TO_Verall>CO: Aye Captain, dispatching teams now.
Host Rich says:
Action: Gravity on the Bridge become a little weak. While no one floats away if they move they tend to have a little spring in their step.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Mattingly> ::starts to feel sick to her stomach - she's in no hurry to move around anyway, although she's not sure why she's sick::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*CNS*:I had to try, I figured as much.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::feels the butterflies in the stomach:: OPS: What is it now??
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::happens to look at Mattingly and notices that she looks a little uncomfortable::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::runs a general diagnostic of fundamental Bridge systems, including life support and environmental systems::

OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: The default gravitational setting is no longer in place.  I'm not sure why, but gravity here on the Bridge is not as strong as it should be.
EO_Madsen says:
::gets a mild shock from a power relay and curses to himself::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::attempts to scan the Environmental systems to see if they lack power, or if they were damaged::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::decides that she better just stay in one place and camp out:: Self: Well, I could get my book... :;gets up and walks to the door adjoining her quarters::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Mattingly> ::begins to panic as well, and she tries to get up quick, but only manages to vomit a little and flop back down to her chair::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Reset the settings and try to see if the two incidents have anything in common.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gets up slowly and comes to her side, putting his hand on Mattingly's shoulder::  FCO: Are you all right, Ensign?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Mattingly> ::tries to swallow, and does so successfully to the taste of barf::  OPS: Y-yes sir, I'm fine...
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::feels something... close...:: Aloud: Aha.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods to her, and then to Storal, and sits back down at his console::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*CO*: Captain, seal all exits immediately. Someone is trying to escape.
Host Rich says:
Action: Gravitational controls on the bridge return to normal.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::resets environmental conditions to default, including temperature and gravity::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::hears the CNS:: OPS: Lockdown the entire ship. Nothing gets out!
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: I'm on it...::begins securing all exit points and alerting security around the ship::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::attempts to lock on to communicators to see if everyone is still onboard who checked in prior to their departure from Star base 366::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::tries sifting through the voices to pinpoint who is trying to escape::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*EO*:Keep a watch out Mr. Madsen, we have a suspect loose on the ship. Lockdown engineering.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Verall>  ::notices that security teams are moving without his authorization, though he let's it go; he casts a distrusting gaze at Davis, but little more comes from it::
EO_Madsen says:
::gives the power conduit a good kick and smiles when full power is restored to the ship:: *CO*: Aye sir. Oh, by the way, you've got full power back sir.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Mattingly> ::holding stomach, but she's feeling a little better now since gravity was restored to normal::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*EO*:Excellent work.
Host Rich says:
Action: Power returns to all the Apache's control consoles.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::console lights up in his face, and he's delighted with this::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*CNS*:Are you ok? I have security teams in your area.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::hears an alert sound on his console and sees a life form is away from quarters::  CO: Captain, I may have found whoever Niventra is referring to..
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
TO: Mr. Verall, send security teams to the shuttle bay!
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Verall> OPS: Aye, sir.  ::alerts alpha team right away::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Place containment fields in that area. I want whoever it is stopped.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::struggles with the console a little - he's not used to doing so much from this console::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*CO*: Oh, I'm fine. Just holding down the Counseling Suite...
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Can you identify the suspect?
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: As well as its location?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: They are in the shuttle bay for sure.
Host Rich says:
Action: The security team arrives at the shuttle bay to find one lone Takaran there trying to get a shuttle opened.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*CNS: Head to shuttle bay 2. I want to assist in the interrogation of the suspect.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Verall> CO: Sir, we've located the perpetrator trying to steal a shuttlecraft.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. ::drops her book and heads out of the room::
Host Rich says:
<Takaran> :: swings and fires his phaser as the security team enters::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Verall: Apprehend the suspect, try to take him alive.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Verall> CO: Aye si-  ::blue alert sounds from console::  Phaser fire, Shuttle bay 2.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
TL: Shuttle bay 2.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Verall> ::sends two additional teams::
EO_Madsen says:
*CO*: I've finished my investigation on the power cut... it was definitely intentional. Whoever did it left quite a mess here. Looks like he knew what he was doing.
Host Rich says:
Action: The Takaran kills one of the security team.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::strides calmly out of the lift, but stops as she hears what’s going on inside the shuttle bay::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*EO*:We have cornered the suspect. Make sure that there are no other booby traps in the system.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Alaron> ::charges into the Shuttle bay as part of Gamma team and immediately rolls away from the doorway and searches for the person in question - his team members do the same::

CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::is narrowly run over by a security team and slips into the bay with them as well::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Alaron> Gamma team:  Fire!  ::opens fire, on maximum stun::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Alaron> ::sees Niventra, grabbing her and dragging her down to the deck with the rest of the team::  CNS: Stay down!!!!
Host Rich says:
<Takaran> :: shakes off the stun setting from the security team and fires at TO Alaron::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Alaron> ::struck in the shoulder, and then bangs his head into the bulkhead and is knocked unconscious::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::finds herself facing the deck:: 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Verall> CO: One security officer killed, another unconscious sir.
Host Rich says:
<Takaran>:: fires at another of the security team killing him::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::removes all oxygen from the shuttle bay briefly, hoping to incapacitate everyone in one fell swoop::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Verall: Take him down!
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::grabs the TO's rifle and starts shooting at the Takaran::
Host Rich says:
<Takaran> :: drops to the floor seemly dead::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::allows oxygen to return to the air in the Shuttle bay::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Aloud: He's not dead!
Host Rich says:
<Takaran> :: hearing the counselor words rises and shoot at her::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Jackson> ::butt-strokes Takaran in the face with his phaser rifle - hard::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::runs up to the Takaran, rifle still raised at him:: Takaran: If you're unconscious, stay that way. If not, don't move or I'll shoot you. 
Host Rich says:
<Takaran> :: laughs at Jackson and shoot a big hole in his center::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Jackson> ::drops to his knees and looks at his chest, which is now charbroiled, not to mention equipped with a donut hole::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Jackson>  ::face plants, dead::
Host Rich says:
<Takaran> :: point the phaser at the CNS and presses the trigger::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::shoots at the Takaran::
Host Rich says:
Action: The Takaran is completely disintegrated by the CNS.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Self: Oops...
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Verall> CO: Target neutralized, sir  - several casualties to security and engineering personnel, though.

Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Verall: Get the wounded to sickbay, and get a list of the casualties.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: I didn't mean to vaporize him.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Verall>  ::with profound sadness - he and Jackson grew up together::  CO: Yes sir.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
*CNS*:Its ok Counselor, you did what you had to do. Were you able to get anything from him?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*CO*: Besides some very angry thoughts and nearly being vaporized myself, no.
