USS GENEVA MISSION TRANSCRIPT – 10403.26

Host CO_Shras says:
=/\==/\==/\=RESUME MISSION=/\==/\==/\=
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: THE DAMAGED USS GENEVA IS CURRENTLY ON THE PLANET KNOWN AS ZESTEL IV AFTER BEING STRUCK BY A MISSLE DIRECTED AT THE COLONY FROM THE DELTA QUADRANT BY AN UNKNOWN ASSAILANT
FCO_Mikan says:
::on the bridge at helm running diagnostics on the helm and nav systems::
CEO_McDowell says:
::down in the vicinity of Deck 8, in a crawlway, making final temporary patch reroutes to the ODN and EPS nets around the destroyed junctions::
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: SEVERAL DAYS HAVE PASSED AND THE NOW CURED GRUTHORIAN COLONISTS, ALL 50,000 OF THEM ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP THE CREW REPAIR THEIR SHIP
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESOURCES LEFT FROM WHATEVER THE COLONISTS WERE BUILDING FOR THE 300 YEAR OLD BORG INFESTING THEM IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE CREW AND COLONISTS TO USE
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: WHILE THE TECHNOLOGY IS 300 YEARS OLD, IT WILL STILL BE USEFUL FOR USE TO REPAIR THE SHIP
FCO_Mikan says:
::diagnostics complete. Now transferring helm and navigation back to the main bridge::
CEO_McDowell says:
*CO*: Captain, I believe we're ready to reinitialize main power. I've made temporary patches around the damage to the EPS and ODN nets.
CSO_Tunik says:
::enters the bridge and makes his way to the captain::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::enters the bridge right behind Tunik also looking for the captain::
EO_Valentine says:
::outside the ship, checking on SIMBA::
XO_Taal says:
::looks around sickbay::
Host CO_Shras says:
*CEO*: Chief..... Proceed as you are ready.....
Host CO_Shras says:
::moves out of Ready Room to Main Bridge to survey the activities::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::spots the captain approaching, but lets Tunik address him first::
FCO_Mikan says:
::sees the CO enter the bridge:: CO: Helm and navigation online and ready.
CSO_Tunik says:
::sees the captain enter the bridge and moves to engage conversation:: CO: Captain, I have a select team of individuals in mind for an investigation of what it was that hit us.
CEO_McDowell says:
*CO*: Aye sir. *FCO*: Mr. Mikan, I'll need a third hand... Please coordinate rerouting of computer traffic back onto the primary ODN net. *EO*: Ms. Valentine, please proceed to Main Engineering and begin main power initialization. I'll be monitoring from here to ensure the temporary reroutes hold.
CSO_Tunik says:
CO: All I need is the word and we'll be on our way to the transporter room.
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO: Lt. I need to talk to the senior staff, please arrange to have them assemble to the briefing room in ten minutes
FCO_Mikan says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.
EO_Valentine says:
::makes a face:: *CEO*: Boss needs Mai?
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Aye sir.
EO_Valentine says:
::shrugs and locks down SIMBA, gallops to ME::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::not surprised that Tunik is discussing the same thing he wanted to:: CSO: The transporter room sir? I'd recommend we take a shuttle to the crash site, sir.
FCO_Mikan says:
*Shipwide*: All senior staff report to the Briefing Room in 10 minutes. Repeat, all senior staff report to the Briefing Room in 10 minutes.
Host CO_Shras says:
CSO: Thank you, please bring that to the Briefing Room in a few minutes
FCO_Mikan says:
*EO*: Mai, you need to report to the Briefing Room as soon as you return to the Geneva.
EO_Valentine says:
::stops:: *FCO*: Big Kitty! Boss told Mai to go to ME.
XO_Taal says:
::hears the announcement::
CEO_McDowell says:
::rolls eyes:: *EO*: Yes, I need you. Please go to Engineering and restart main power.
CSO_Tunik says:
::nods to the captain:: CO: Understood. ::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Good idea. We don't know if we'll be faced with any opposition when we arrive. For all we know, that was some sort of ship with reinforced hull made for ramming.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::is itching to try out the Aerowing's tactical systems, maybe could convince the captain to take it for a spin::
Host CO_Shras says:
*CEO*: Chief, and make sure you bring your assistant with you
FCO_Mikan says:
*EO*: Understood. The Captain wants all senior staff in the Briefing Room in 10 minutes. Report there. The CEO will be there as well.
EO_Valentine says:
::tumbles out of the JT hatch in ME, looks around for Boss:: CEO: Boss?
CSO_Tunik says:
::moves into the briefing room with a PADD in hand::
XO_Taal says:
::exits the sickbay discreetly and heads for the briefing room::
Host CO_Shras says:
::exits the Main Bridge and makes his way to the Briefing Room, by way of the damaged areas, to survey the repairs::
CEO_McDowell says:
*CO*: Yes sir. ::shrugs off the CO's request, knows she'll be there anyway... waits for the EPS & ODN nets to show activity, sweat dripping off his face into the crawlway::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::walks over to the tactical station to check on some routine reports before heading to the meeting::
EO_Valentine says:
::looking around ME:: CEO: Boss? ::searches:: Boss? Boss?
EO_Valentine says:
::shrugs and hops over to the main power switch, reaches up to pull it on...takes all her weight to move it, but she does:: *CEO*: Boss! Power is on!
FCO_Mikan says:
::reroutes the power to the main computer system:: *CEO*: I have rerouted main power.
CSO_Tunik says:
::sits in a chair, folds his hands, and waits::
CTO_Kizlev says:
Self: Good, they finally finished torpedo inventory. Now I can rest easier. ::heads to the briefing room::
EO_Valentine says:
::hops into the open hatch and makes her way to the BR::
FCO_Mikan says:
::gets up from helm and heads to the briefing room. Relief takes the helm::
XO_Taal says:
::enters the briefing room and pokes his head inside for a quick look::
CEO_McDowell says:
*EO*: Thank you. I'll see you at the meeting shortly. *FCO*: Acknowledged. Have the computer begin a slow transfer of processing load back onto the main net. 5% data load per minute.
Host CO_Shras says:
::makes way to an exterior hatch to the top of the hull and walks towards the gaping hole wondering how the ship survived::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::stops short of the XO:: XO: Having trouble finding a seat, sir.... uh, Taal?
Host CO_Shras says:
::also wonders about who took the shot that almost destroyed the colony and the Geneva in the process::
EO_Valentine says:
::tumbles out of the JT hatch into the BR and rolls across the floor::
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Oh, do not let me get in the way. Carry on... ::looks at the CTO's collar:: ...Lieutenant.
Host CO_Shras says:
::after seeing the damage, hurries back towards the hatch and then to the briefing room, taking a Jefferies tube along the way, for the exercise::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::smiles:: XO: It's good to see you're almost back to normal, sir. If only we had perfected the cure sooner, we could have prevented your memory loss. ::takes a seat at the conference table::
FCO_Mikan says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged. *Goldberg*: Begin transferring the processor load onto the main net at 5% load per minute until complete.
Host CO_Shras says:
::arrives to the Briefing Room, takes a gander at who's there, on time, and who's not::
FCO_Mikan says:
<Goldberg>*FCO*: 5% per minute. Aye.
CEO_McDowell says:
::crawling up the access ways towards the Bridge, running late::
Host CO_Shras says:
::blue antennae twitching all the time::
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Uh, yes. Back to normal.
EO_Valentine says:
::hops into a seat and looks around, grinning::
CSO_Tunik says:
::prepares to discuss plans for their investigation of the "object" that hit them::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::feels an unusual need to twitch his own antennae, then glances up at the captain, and grins::
CEO_McDowell says:
::arrives on the Bridge, cracks back slightly - it had gotten stiff from all the hours in the crawlway - and enters the Briefing Room, still glistening from sweat::
Host CO_Shras says:
All: Okay...... first off..... It’s been a trying few days, and I know all of you are hard at it.....  XO: Commander, are you with us today?
CEO_McDowell says:
::quietly takes seat between the XO and his assistant::
XO_Taal says:
::still looking around the room::
Host CO_Shras says:
CEO: Nice of you to make it Chief
XO_Taal says:
::realizes that the Captain is talking to Commander Taal::
XO_Taal says:
::in a fake deep voice::
XO_Taal says:
CO: Uh... yes, Captain.
CEO_McDowell says:
::blinks, keeps mouth shut...::
Host CO_Shras says:
::blue antennae seem to direct themselves in a sneering manner::
EO_Valentine says:
::watches the CO and wonders why he's so sad (blue)::
Host CO_Shras says:
All: Status of repairs Chief?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::looks at Mai sitting near him and smiles, glad to see she's still her same perky self::
EO_Valentine says:
::hums "Blue"::
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: Progressing... I only intend to make temporary hull repairs, enough to get us back up into space. A full reconstruction requires a space dock, despite the help in manpower and materials the colonists can give.
Host CO_Shras says:
::One of the antennae seems to attenuate itself towards the odd sounding catlike creature::
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: I am... ::sheepish:: Not completely versed yet in extensive field hull repair.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::feels a strange involuntary tug from one of his antennae darting in Mai's direction::
Host CO_Shras says:
CEO: Well Chief, I don't expect miracles, but I do expect for this ship to be space worthy in two more days.....
CEO_McDowell says:
::turns head, looks at Mai with this odd "what the hell???" look::
CEO_McDowell says:
::jaw drops for a second, then catches it:: CO: Aye sir.
Host CO_Shras says:
CEO: I take it that your assistant here can work wonders with construction, considering that odd looking thing in my Shuttlebay
EO_Valentine says:
::taps on her PADD while she hums::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::clears his throat loudly at Mai so as to refocus her attention at the captain::
CEO_McDowell says:
::eyes widen with confusion... silently mouths "odd looking thing...???"... Thinks to self "holographic unicorn... owl in Engineering... now what?"::
EO_Valentine says:
::perks her ears and stops humming:: CTO: Ru?
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO: Lt. what is the status of this ship in terms of being a space faring craft... if engineering gets us off the ground, can you fly it?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::tilts his head a few times at Shras while looking at Mai, as if to say "pay attention"::
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Yes sir. Helm and navigation are up to specs, thanks to the engineering teams. And I can fly just about anything sir. ::grins::
XO_Taal says:
FCO: Anything?
EO_Valentine says:
::looks confused and sighs, then continues tapping quickly on her lil' pink PADD::
XO_Taal says:
::quickly puts his hands over his mouth::
FCO_Mikan says:
XO: Just about.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::puts a hand on his forehead, giving up, yet still smiling, then turns back to the captain::
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO: Then after plotting a course back to the nearest repair station, I want you to work with Engineering to get the necessary materials from the colony to here to get this ship off the ground in two days..... Use all the shuttles if you have to....
XO_Taal says:
FCO: Uh... excellent. Keep up the good work... male feline humanoid guy.
FCO_Mikan says:
::sits up straight in his chair:: CO: Yes sir!
Host CO_Shras says:
CSO: Tunik, I know you're pulling double duty these days, but with the senior medical officer out tending to some of the more severely hurt, update me on casualties
XO_Taal says:
::wonders why he just doesn't keep his mouth shut::
FCO_Mikan says:
::looks curiously at the XO then to the CO as if to say, "Is he OK?"::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::barely holds back a laugh from the XO's words, then straightens and plays coy::
CEO_McDowell says:
::quietly looks around the room for another seat::
CSO_Tunik says:
CO: We've managed to heal 74.325 of the wounded. That includes on the Geneva and at the base camp. We lost 9 crew. There are few who are... maimed permanently.
Host CO_Shras says:
CTO: Since you seem amused Chief TAC...  what's the status of your investigation of that missile that almost eliminated all of us?
Host CO_Shras says:
::turns back to the CSO:: CSO: Good work, do what you can for those
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Well, that is what Commander Tunik and I wished to discuss with you. We are ready to begin the investigation immediately.
FCO_Mikan says:
::looks at the CSO thinking "How do you heal .325 of a person?"::
Host CO_Shras says:
CTO: I find it incredible that that missile would have hit the colony with that sort of precision from that distance... if the Geneva hadn't been in the way....... :: lets the sentence drift::  there'd be 50,000 less around here.....
Host CO_Shras says:
CTO: Find out where that missile came from, and who sent it... obviously, they didn't like what the infected colonists were infected with... how did they know????  And what sort of threat are they to the Federation?
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: I suggest we utilize a shuttle with reliable sensors for this mission, namely the Aerowing. Lieutenant Mikan would be the most qualified here to handle such a vessel, sir. I also suggest we bring along SIMBA for this task.
CEO_McDowell says:
::looks around the table for an open PADD... picks one up sitting in front of the XO, begins trying to design a crude patchwork using 300 year old technology and a crew the size of a space dock::
Host CO_Shras says:
CTO: Use whatever resources you need   CSO: You'll need to work with Kizlev to figure this out.....
EO_Valentine says:
::gets updated info from SIMBA...her PADD makes that AIM message-receives sound::
XO_Taal says:
::looks at the CEO::
XO_Taal says:
CEO: What are you doing?
Host CO_Shras says:
All: Okay... you've all done well so far... now get to it and see what can be done in the next two days
CEO_McDowell says:
XO: Writing repair plans... Were you using it?
Host CO_Shras says:
All: Dismissed
XO_Taal says:
CEO: Repair plans? Why?
Host CO_Shras says:
XO: Commander... a minute of your time....
EO_Valentine says:
::sends a message back to SIMBA and her PADD makes another AIM message-sent sound::
CEO_McDowell says:
::starts to speak... then decides against it:: XO: The ship needs repairing... ::shrugs and moves out to the Bridge, waits for the FCO::
XO_Taal says:
::still looking at the CEO when he realized that the Captain was speaking to him::
Host CO_Shras says:
::watches as the others, who all noted that time was not given for questions, depart to continue their assignments... wondering what the whole point of the briefing was::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CEO: Sir, may I enlist the aid of your senior engineer here? ::looking at Mai::
XO_Taal says:
CO: Uh, yes, Captain?
FCO_Mikan says:
::exits the BR to the bridge::
CSO_Tunik says:
::looks to the CTO:: CTO: I have a team that's prepared to go. ::looks at Mai:: Seems we both chose her.
EO_Valentine says:
::looks up:: CSO/CTO: Huh?
CTO_Kizlev says:
CSO: There is that saying about great minds thinking alike. Well sir, I'm ready to start.
CSO_Tunik says:
::taps his combadge:: *Investigations Team*: Proceed to Shuttlebay 1.
CEO_McDowell says:
CTO: If you need her. Take some colonists also. There's no way I'll be able to use more than a thousand or so.
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: THE SENIOR STAFF EXITS THE BRIEFING ROOM, RETURNING TO THEIR VARIOUS TASKS.....
Host CO_Shras says:
XO: Taal.... you've been through a lot... are you "all here?"
CTO_Kizlev says:
CEO: Thank you, sir. EO: Come along Ms. Valentine. We've work ahead of us.
Host CO_Shras says:
XO: Taal, I need to know you're still functional,
EO_Valentine says:
::hops after the CTO:: CTO: Okay!
CEO_McDowell says:
::turns to FCO:: FCO: So... Let's see... I'd say we figure out what colonists are technical and non-technical. The non-techs, I'll leave to you. Probably best if you set up some type of convoy operation for ferrying raw materials here.
XO_Taal says:
CO: I still work good, Captain. ::looks down:: But I'm still not who I should be.
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: I'll only be able to use maybe... Four hundred people, if that.
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Agreed. I have prepared a preliminary schedule for the shuttles in case you wanted to do just that. ::hands him a PADD::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Included is a list of men that will help load and unload the shuttles.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::is on the bridge taking a good look at the FCO, being reminded of his old Caitian friend Jakuharrr, then proceeds to the Shuttlebay::
CEO_McDowell says:
::looks over PADD:: FCO: Only four shuttles? What happened to the other ones?
CSO_Tunik says:
::on his way to Shuttlebay 1::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: No longer with us.
Host CO_Shras says:
XO: Commander, if you can hold it together for a few days.... I've received orders..... We’re to be relieved by the USS Forrestal in two days... and at that time, we're to make best possible speed to the nearest space dock for repairs... and for crew R&R....  you however, will be going to Starfleet Psyche for a complete evaluation....
EO_Valentine says:
CTO: Where does Tactical-person need Mai? ::hops next to him, around in a circle::
XO_Taal says:
CO: So I'm not going home yet?
CTO_Kizlev says:
EO: We'll need SIMBA's help to sniff out the crash site that we are heading to. Only you understand your vehicle better than any of us do.
Host CO_Shras says:
XO: and if you're lucky, your Vulcan "friends" won't get a crack at you.....  I've received "concerns" from the Vulcan High Command that they would like to "check you out"
CSO_Tunik says:
::enters the Shuttlebay and moves to meet the rest of the team, Androna, K`Larn, Joseph Randall, and Adam Hunter::
CEO_McDowell says:
::raises eyebrow:: FCO: Alright... I'll assign CPO Frax, my Repair Supervisor, to liaise with your groups. Did you want to take some of the academics in the colonists and have them run viability simulations or anything?
EO_Valentine says:
CTO: Mai can go get SIMBA right now! ::hops into the air and gallops off down the hall::
XO_Taal says:
::gulps::
XO_Taal says:
CO: I am not sure what that means, but it sounds scary to me.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::walks into the Shuttlebay seeing Mai galloping away, feeling so glad to know this Caitian woman::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: The 2 type 6 shuttles are damaged and not flight worthy. Mister Frax will be sufficient. I have run simulations and my results on also on the PADD.
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: For your information, CPO Howard will coordinate with me to handle the colonists assigned to engineering.
EO_Valentine says:
::climbs up one of SIMBA's legs and into the cockpit:: MAV: SIMBA! Have work to do! Yes, yes, yes!
CTO_Kizlev says:
CSO: Type-9 shuttle sir? Perhaps the Aerowing would prove the better choice. ::feeling juvenile for some reason to try out a new "toy"::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: We lost the type 18 shuttles and one of the workerbees. --- Yes sir.
CEO_McDowell says:
::makes a motion to the FCO to start walking with him... starts making his way down the JTs towards one of the airlocks leading to ground level::
FCO_Mikan says:
::walks along side the CEO::
EO_Valentine says:
<SIMBA> EO: All systems ready.
Host CO_Shras says:
XO: I want you to do what you can to liaise between the colonists and both Chief Kizlev's and Chief McDowell's teams
CSO_Tunik says:
::looks at the CTO:: CTO: The Aerowing? I've not had the opportunity of traveling in that vehicle. Is it scientifically efficient for this mission? As well as tactically for retreat?
Host CO_Shras says:
XO: Do you think you can do that for me Taal???
EO_Valentine says:
::walks SIMBA around in a circle, waiting on the CTO and CSO::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CSO: Shocking, sir. Never in all your time here have you flown in it? Well, it has a load out of micro-torpedoes and phasers. I'd say it could get us out of a pinch.
CEO_McDowell says:
::conversationally as he climbs down the ladders:: FCO: Thousands of colonists... A crew of a starbase, and we have hours to train and use them...
XO_Taal says:
::looks confused::
XO_Taal says:
CO: Uh, yeah... I guess so, Captain.
CSO_Tunik says:
::nods:: CTO: Let's take it for a spin. ::motions to the team::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CSO: And yes, its sensor palettes are much more improved over standard shuttles. ::thinks he has Tunik hook-line-and sinker::
FCO_Mikan says:
::follows the CEO down the ladder:: CEO: It could be worse. We could be alone on this planet with no resources in materials or personnel.
CSO_Tunik says:
::remembers the term take it for a spin, used by Yoshi when she first got her hands on the shuttle controls... and when Thorpe got the opportunity to drive some primitive Earth vehicle from the 1940s... a Ford?::
Host CO_Shras says:
XO: then get to it...  we've not much time....
XO_Taal says:
CO: Uh, yes sir.
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: True... Who knows... That'd just make my job a little harder, I guess. ::muffled chuckle::
CSO_Tunik says:
::opens the Aerowing rear and motions everyone to jump in::
XO_Taal says:
::exits the briefing room, wondering about the word 'liaise'::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::picks up his stride to the AW docking bay::
XO_Taal says:
::finds himself on the bridge, looks around::
FCO_Mikan says:
::not always sure of the humor that humans have and gives a polite chuckle::
EO_Valentine says:
<SIMBA> ::swishes his tail back and forth and points his nose to the sky and roars::
CEO_McDowell says:
::arrives at the hatch... climbs down the ladder on the planet surface:: FCO: Well... We'll see what happens. ::looks at the groups of colonists:: FCO: Ready?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::gets inside and looks about the compartment:: Self: Very...luxurious. ::looks for the TAC console::
Host CO_Shras says:
::settles back in his chair wondering if it is really all possible... :: Self: two days... they've only got two days...... How can he possibly tell them that there's another missile heading towards the Zestel Star System, and it'll arrive in two days.....  And the Geneva must be in space by then, or all may be lost
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Yes sir.
CSO_Tunik says:
::realizes he forgot his medical kit, but then realizes that K`Larn, a young Vulcan security officer, was kind enough to bring it to him during his lapse of memory and logic::
CSO_Tunik says:
::closes the rear of the Aerowing when everyone's aboard, locking it tight:: Hunter: Mister Hunter. Take us out.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::finds his console, then rubs a finger on it and looks at it, seeing a tiny bit of dust:: CSO: Clearly, this shuttle doesn't see much use.
CSO_Tunik says:
<Adam Hunter> ::at the helm controls, gets power to engines and prepares for a quick departure::
CSO_Tunik says:
CTO: Indeed it doesn't. I can only imagine how much the captain's yacht has been used.
CEO_McDowell says:
::sets combadge to use the ship's external audio controls as a loudspeaker:: Colonists: Everyone with a technical or engineering background, please come forward and step aside. Everyone else, please follow Mr. Mikan here to the Shuttlebay. We have two days to make temporary repairs so that we can lift off.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CSO: I imagine the dust plumes are thicker on the yacht. ::notices K'Larn and nods at him, glad to see another reliable Vulcan on the team::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::checks his sensors for any sign of SIMBA:: Self: Now where is that mischievous engineer at?
CSO_Tunik says:
::stops:: CTO: Actually, I am mistaken. It is the Expedition that has a Captain's yacht. Not an Intrepid class. ::thinks:: This is where the yacht would have been.
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: TWO DAYS HAVE PASSED AND THE MIRACULOUS REPAIRS, WHILE NOT PRETTY, NOR INTERNALLY COMPLETE, WILL ALLOW THE GENEVA TO NOT ONLY GET INTO SPACE, BUT ALSO MAKE DECENT HEADWAY TOWARDS THE NEAREST SPACEDOCK
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: THE INVESTIGATION OF THE MISSLE ATTACK SHOWS THAT WHOEVER IT WAS, DID NOT LIKE THE BORG AND WOULD GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO ELIMINATE A POTENTIAL BORG THREAT, EVEN AS FAR AWAY AS ZESTEL IV
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: AND, WHOEVER IT WAS, WAS CERTAINLY MORE ADVANCED TO HAVE MADE SUCH A "SHOT" FROM SUCH A GREAT DISTANCE, ALSO WITHOUOT WORRY AS TO WHO WOULD BE "ELIMINATED" IN THE PROCESS
CEO_McDowell says:
::standing on the hull, near the edge of the hole, with FCO Mikan surveying the patchwork:: FCO: Not exactly the best... But it works... eh?
FCO_Mikan says:
::nods:: CEO: You just amaze me, Lt. Good job if ever there could be on this planet with the resources we had.
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: How badly do you think you'll have to compensate in-flight for the damage?
CEO_McDowell says:
::smirk:: FCO: Amazed... I don't know. I'm not proud of the work, honestly... But with a large, untrained, drafted crew... and less than 48 hours... It works...
EO_Valentine says:
::in SIMBA, docked in the Shuttlebay, taking a quick supplies inventory::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: By my calculations, we will need to have the SIF running at 9% over maximum rating, and the IDF at 14% of maximum.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::enters the Shuttlebay and spots the EO::
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: We probably shouldn't exceed warp 4.
Host CO_Shras says:
::walks out of RR onto the bridge....:: FCO: Lt. is this ship space worthy today?
EO_Valentine says:
::peeks out of the open cockpit::
CEO_McDowell says:
::grimace:: FCO: I don't think we need Warp 4. Any way we can lessen the SIF/IDF load at a lower warp factor?
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Yes sir. The Chief and his teams did an excellent job. We can take it up sir. I am sure of it. I recommend a maximum speed of warp 4 though.
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO: Get all the Geneva crew aboard Lieutenant...... and have it done within the next ten minutes
CTO_Kizlev says:
EO: Ah, there you are Mai. I just wanted to let you know that my tactical "persons" won't be bugging you for any more about SIMBA. We have all the data we need for Starfleet.
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Yes sir. If we keep her under warp 3 we can run at normal levels.
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Yes sir.
EO_Valentine says:
CTO: Oh, okay. ::smiles:: You want a Twinkie?
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: Fine with me. Besides, the nearest Space dock is only... what? SB 245 is roughly 12 days at Warp 3?
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO: Make preparations to leave the planet's surface
CEO_McDowell says:
::forgets... probably from the lengthy ride he took to get out to Geneva in the first place::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::his antennae curl forward over his forehead:: EO: A....Twinkie?
FCO_Mikan says:
CEO: Approximately.
CEO_McDowell says:
::shrugs... motions towards the airlock::
EO_Valentine says:
::hops out of the cockpit and lands next to him, rummages around in her pockets, and comes up with a Twinkie. Hands it to him::
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Aye sir. ::nods to the CEO and heads for the bridge to make pre-flight preparations. Taps combadge:: *ALL*: All crew to report to the Geneva for takeoff. Repeat. All crew to report immediately to the Geneva for takeoff.
CEO_McDowell says:
::climbs back into the ship, secures the airlock... exits onto Deck 3 and makes way towards Engineering::
CSO_Tunik says:
::after making a stop at sickbay, he enters the bridge and moves to his station:: Randall: Excellent work in the investigations team. You are relieved. ::nods::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::takes the Twinkie and holds it close to his nose, and brings the antennae down further:: EO: Some sort of treat?
CSO_Tunik says:
<Joseph Randall> ::nods:: CSO: Thank you sir. ::moves to the auxiliary science station::
FCO_Mikan says:
::takes the helm::
EO_Valentine says:
::nods:: CTO: Yeah. Right. ::grins and climbs back up into the cockpit::
CSO_Tunik says:
::takes his station::
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: LONG-RANGE SCANNERS SUDDENLY LIGHT UP. APPARENTLY A SMALL FLEET OF SHIPS, MOSTLY CARGO VESSELS DROPS OUT OF WARP AND MOVES INTO ORBIT AROUND ZESTEL IV
CEO_McDowell says:
::arrives in Engineering (thank God the turbolifts work now)... sits down at his usual console and begins liftoff checklists::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::takes a small, miniscule bite....and finds it absolutely revolting, the taste so incredibly bitter::
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: IT SEEMS THAT STARFLEET HAS MANAGED TO ASSEMBLE AN EVACUATION GROUP TO SNATCH THE COLONISTS OUT OF HARM'S WAY
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: All crew reports ready sir.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::still wincing from the awful taste of the Twinkie, he finds a stray cargo container to set it down and heads back to the bridge:: EO: Th...thank you, lieutenant.
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: HOWEVER, BEHIND THAT FLEET IS A SMALL ECHO......... OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN, AND UNKNOWN DESIGN.... YET EXACTLY LIKE THE BLIP THAT SHOWED UP ON THE GENEVA SENSORS BEFORE THE MISSLE STRIKE
Host CO_Shras says:
FCO: Pilot... I think it time to get us out of here.......
CEO_McDowell says:
::shifts his seat over to the SIF console, hoping everything holds...::
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Yes sir. ::activates blue alert and fires up the thrusters lifting the Geneva off the planet's surface::
CEO_McDowell says:
::thinks "what's the old phrase? 'Spit and barbed wire'?"::
Host CO_Shras (Blue Alert.wav)
FCO_Mikan says:
::retracts the landing struts::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::enters the bridge and heads to his console, relieved he managed to swallow away some of the bitter taste::
FCO_Mikan says:
::moves the Geneva up through the upper atmosphere::
CEO_McDowell says:
::watching SIF field stability numbers fluctuate around the damage:: *Bridge*: This is going to be a bumpy ride all the way Bridge. Get used to the shuddering, is all I can recommend. ::feels constant vibrations from the deck plates::
FCO_Mikan says:
::steadies himself on his console as the ship shudders slightly while traversing the atmosphere::
CSO_Tunik says:
::looking at sensors, now that he's no longer distracted with getting off the planet:: CO: Captain. I'm detecting a fleet of ships. Starfleet. Mostly cargo vessels. Must be an evacuation force.
Host CO_Shras says:
ACTION: AND SO THE GENEVA LEAVES THE SURFACE OF ZESTEL IV AND HEADS INTO SPACE... AND ON TO THE NEAREST SPACEDOCK FOR A COMPLETE OVERHAUL AND NEEDED REPAIRS... ITS CREW TO OBTAIN SOME R&R.... YET MANY QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED
FCO_Mikan says:
::engages the warp drive::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::braces himself just in case things get more than bumpy::
CEO_McDowell says:
::muttering the whole way... First deep-space assignment and he ends up with a near-crippled ship::
EO_Valentine says:
::makes sure SIMBA is okay::
CEO_McDowell says:
::thinking "How did Uncle Bob ever tolerate all this???"::
CSO_Tunik says:
::curious if they'll ever run into the one's responsible for the missiles, this won't be the last time they encounter them::
