Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 11006.18

ST:ACTD and DS-102 proudly present:

Which Way Did They Go?

Episode 1 - They went thataway…

After dealing with the Auric Cloud with little or no damage and more importantly, no loss of life, the USS Scorpius now has to recover some of the wayward crew of DS-102. The hardest of the ships to reach is the USS Don Johnson, which after evacuating some of the Station crew, had to leave for its own mission assignment.

We join the Crew of the USS Scorpius as it prepares to depart DS-102

DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::steps back onto the bridge of the Don Johnson embarrassed drinking a glass of water:: CO: Sorry about that Captain. Turns out I was victim to the heat exhaustion too.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::smiles as he checks the engine readouts, seeing that all is ready to depart::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::paces around the Scorpius Bridge, still having his mind full of questions about the Cloud::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sitting in his chair on the Bridge of the USS Scorpius ::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: At station checking on the route taken by the Don Johnson::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Sir, many of the evacuated crew are making their way back to the Station as we speak
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@::looks up as Garlingus enters:; DJEO: No problem, Lieutenant, are you doing better?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: steps off one of the returning ships and heads for station command::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Some of the crew were on board the USS Don Johnson, which has departed
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Good, if any of them needs assistance we are available
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: ETA of the evacuated crew to return to the Station?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CO*: Captain, engineering here. Reporting all ready to depart. All power available upon your orders.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::minding the primary tactical console while Fowler deals with something above his pay grade... very thankful there are actually security matters above his pay grade for a change::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: The time schedule is all over the place Sir, but my concern is those on the Don Johnson... She's gone out already
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO/XO: I have the projected path of the USS Don Johnson
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@DJCO: Yes Captain. All better now. ::toasts the Captain and takes a sip of water heading toward the Engineering Station on the bridge::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Oh, I see. ::raises an eyebrow::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
*CEO*: Any damages left from our contact with the cloud?
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@EO: How's our power holding up?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CO*: None, sir. I put the replicants to work on all repairs and maintenance. Engineering hasn't been this prepared in, well, a long time.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC/CO: Sirs, I suggest we get after them as soon as we can get underway, as they'll be the hardest of them all to catch
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::tunes the sensors to maximum and runs a check for nearby activity, not that he envisions finding any::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: I agree with that. Captain? ::looks at the CO::
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@CO: Well, after powering down the shields and weapons systems, we're doing better, but still in quite dangerous straights. We're not meant to stay in this type of configuration for very long.
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@DJEO: Understood. We should be all right until we get our passengers offloaded then, right?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: finds he CO's location and head that way to report in::
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@CO: Yes ma'am, you shouldn't have any more of a problem from the Engineering Department. ::looks away visibly embarrassed pulling up the communications palette diagnostics::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: I agree. Set course at best possible speed and contact them
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: You said something about having the course of the Don Johnson plotted?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Goes about his work making sure the Scorpius' systems are working as close to 100% efficiency as possible::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sees the CO and moves to his location waiting till he is finished with the XO::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO/XO: Captain, Commander, I will be in secondary OPS Station, just to supervise the return of the crew to the Station. ::nods and heads to the console::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: I have the last non course, forwarding to helm now.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Course laid in Sir
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
<AFCO Flyboy> XO: Receiving it now, course laid in and awaiting orders.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::taps in another command, and runs a quick diagnostic on tactical systems while he waits to see what their next move is:: DJCO: Aside from the ambassador’s ship, we seem to be in the clear, captain. Nothing out of the ordinary in range.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain I am Cmdr Twelk your new Operations officer reporting in.
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: That's good. Ask if you need anything
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I will Captain. Thanks.
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@TO: Hey you're the new Lieutenant here right? Welcome aboard, sorry about earlier. ::dials up astrometric charts of the area::
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@DJEO: Let's just remain here for now.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::spares the engineer a quick glance:: EO: About what, lieutenant? ::hopes the engineer gets the hint, and turns back to his display in case he doesn't::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: Contact the DJ and ask for their location
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::notices that the OPS has reported in::
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::nods and looks back at his displays thankful for the TO:: DJCO: Yes ma'am.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::watches as the new officer reports in::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: moves to the OPS station and contacts the DJ for their location::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: Welcome aboard, Commander. ::nods::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
SC: Thank you Captain I hope to do a good job here.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::an indicator flashes on his console, and he taps it silent before scanning his eyes over the readout:: DJCO: Message from USS Scorpius, captain. They request our location.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: I am sure you will. ::reads the incoming reports concerning the DS-102::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: Sorry about the abrupt welcome commander, I had not noticed you were our newest addition to this crew
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks the power distribution as he waits for the return hail from the Don Johnson::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: It is a little confusing with everything going on and I have just come into it in the middle but I catch on quickly.
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: Good, because we have a lot of work that needs to be done
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@DJTO: Acknowledge the hail and give our location, Lieutenant.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Well I do plan on being able to please Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::feeling very relief, due to the fact that, as Captain Yo'Ghi mentioned early, he still has a Station to command::
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::monitors the bridge activities and is glad that the station has hailed us with relief:: DJCO: I'll start spinning up the transporters skipper.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::sends back an acknowledgement signal:: COM: Scorpius: OPS: Scorpius, Don Johnson. Location data incoming. Standby.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::accesses flight data from helm, extrapolates their exact position, and relays it along the open channel to the Scorpius::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: watches as the Data comes in:: COM: DJ: Roger am receiving it now Thank you.
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@DJEO/DJTO: Well, I guess the cavalry is coming!
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@COM: Scorpius: You're quite welcome. And, long time no see, Commander. ::flashes his former XO a quick wink, then closes the channel::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sends the coordinates to the helm:: CO: Captain I have received the Don Johnson location and have sent the coordinates to the helm.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::scanning ahead and looking up reports of the area the Don Johnson is located::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: How many evacuated people from the Station are aboard the Don Johnson exactly?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
SC: The number is around 4,200 Captain give or take a couple of hundred.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: 4,200. Very well. Acknowledged. :.goes back and taps on his console, preparing some reports::
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::pulls up environmental reports and begins replicating oxygen dispersal units::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks the inventory reports while he waits to make the next call::
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@DJCO: Pretty sure no one will be happier than the evacuees, sir. If the atmosphere in the cargo bays is any indication. ::just shakes his head, reminded of the fight he'd needed to help breaking up::
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@DJTO: I'm sure you're right. Things get cramped after a while, tempers flare.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
OPS: At that number, they will be, as the humans say, packed like fish in a can.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::smirks, but only briefly:: DJCO: You're tellin' me.
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@DJCO: Captain, wait a second... We're a pretty big ship specifically outfitted for evacuation, who's coming to take these people? ::looks to the TO:: DJTO: What class of ship is coming to relieve the stress on our systems?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::overhears the CTO: CTO/OPS: That is an interesting human analogy ::raises an eyebrow:: Quite appropriate, I say.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Well I believe most of the ships were considered that way during the evacuation.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::raises an eyebrow, briefly consulting the registry with a slight shrug:: EO: She reads as Ambassador class. I don't think they'll be quite as cramped as we are.
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@DJTO: That's a good thing.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
SC: I had thought it appropriate. I have been studying human verses to make it easier with working with humans and make them more comfortable.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
OPS: Understandable, Commander.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::just nods, with only a half smirk:: DJCO: For both of us, captain.
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::nods:: DJTO: Thanks for that. ::slumps down thinking he should have known that::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CEO*: Commander Mahl, I will sent you some indications for inspections I want you to make in the Station systems once we are back, especially the thrusters and Structural Integrity Field systems.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*SC*: Understood, sir. I will set up repair and inspection crews before we get back to the station, so we are ready to go right away.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::muses internally that, on the bright side, this is an awesome way to kick the coffee habit... replicators aren't immediately a critical system and are probably not quite online at the moment::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CEO*: Very well, I trust in your always efficient job. I am sending the orders, now. ::taps the console:: Marek out.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: makes a few notations on the inventory list to make sure certain supplies are ordered once they return to the Station::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Receives the orders:: *SC*: Received the orders, Sir. I will get working on crew assignments right away.
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::sips his water::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
SC: Security department will be at your disposal to help with the refugees coming back.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::kicks back, figuring he may as well relax since at the moment, the only thing they're expecting is friendly::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Very well, Lieutenant. I think you should increase security teams in the habitation and promenade areas, just to avoid any difficulty with the crowds.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
AFCO: Have you worked out an ETA yet?
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::jumps up suddenly and starts patting himself down like he were trying to put out a fire::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Any escapees on our way to the DJ that we can get aboard?
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@DJEO: What is the matter, Garlingus?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks the power allocations on the decks needed for the evacuees::
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::looks up:: DJCO: Oh... Sorry Captain, thought I spilled some water on myself. ::sits back down::
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::just gives the EO a strange look, wondering if the security department's got an extra man handy with a straight jacket... then remembers he's the extra man::
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
DJEO: Lieutenant Garlingus, once we get our evacuees transported, I suggest you take a trip to Sickbay. You HAVE been acting strangely lately.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
<AFCO Flyboy> XO: we should be reaching their location in 15 minutes.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
ACTION: SEVERAL HOURS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE SCORPIUS LEFT DS-102 IN PUSUIT OF THE USS DON JOHNSON
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@DJCO: Captain, I mean... It's gotta be the Oxygen levels and the temperature. ::starts sweating again::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: Sir , I am picking up the Don Johnson on sensors.
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
DJEO: Maybe, but I still want you to see the doctor.
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::wipes his brow:: DJCO: Yes ma'am. ::Drinks more water::
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::his console sounds off an alert, and Donavin sits up to answer it, nodding approvingly:: DJCO: Captain, incoming contact. Scanners read it as the Scorpius.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
XO: Shall I hail the Don Johnson Commander?
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
OPS: Stay in constant contact them till we get to their location Commander
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
DJTO: The Cavalry has arrived!
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::thinks and hits the collision alarm by accident:: All: Sorry. DJCO: Captain, would you like to make an all hands announcement?
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@DJCO: Looks that way. ::smiles a little::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: opens the COM to the DJ and put them on screen::
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
DJEO: Let's wait until the Scorpius is ready for us.
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@DJCO: Speaking of, incoming hail. Coming up in 3, captain. ::puts the communication from the Scorpius on the main screen::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
<AFCO Flyboy> ::slowing the ship down as the come up on the DJ:: XO: Coming up on there location.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sets up all the Transporter room to be ready to start transporting evacuees on his command::
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Scorpius: It's good to see you guys. We're a bit overloaded here.
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::nods:: DJCO: Yes ma'am. ::goes back to work on his console::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::stands up and watches the intense activity in the Scorpius Bridge::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::signals all security personnel to be ready to assist with taking on the refugees::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::whispers:: CO: We must be proud of this excellent crew, Captain.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain transporters are ready when you are.
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::sees the view screen:: DJCO: Captain, we have a problem.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: Security teams standby to assist the refugees. I do believe we are ready to take on the extra passengers.
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
DJEO: What's that, Lieutenant?
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::pulls up the specifications of the Scorpius overlaid on the view screen:: DJCO: They can't take everyone.
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: I only accept the best on my crew, the others I leave on DS-102 :: smiles ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::raises:: Oh, I see... ;;shakes his head and smiles::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Refugees Lieutenant?
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@DJEO: They can take some or about half, right? That's still a relief to our systems, right?
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: Merely stating the Station personal being refugees having been displaced form there home. Even if it is temporary.
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@DJCO: Yes ma'am, it is... However, we could have made the trip back to DS-102 without a problem instead of sitting here like ducks waiting to be shot out of the sky! ::coughs and wipes his brow taking another sip of his water::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: ::chuckles at the Lieutenants choice of words::
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@DJCO: I'm sure Commander Fowler's security folks would be quite relieved. ::still has to get used to not calling them his security personnel::
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@DJEO: We need the relief to our systems. And I'm sure we can get back to DS-102 when it's a lot safer for our ship to travel.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: I do not see the humor, Commander.
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@DJTO: I'm sure she would.
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::sits down, but realizes he's already sitting down, so adjust himself on his seat:: DJCO: Yes ma'am.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: smirks a little hearing the conversation between the XO and CTO::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: I think the crew of the Station wouldn't think of themselves as refugees...
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Granted, they were "forced" to leave the station... but they're not exactly destitute or fleeing from anything other than this cloud thing
DJ_TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::continues to monitor the approach of the Scorpius, periodically sending out a tracking signal in case they're having issues with their proximity to the badlands::
DJ-EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
@::jumps up and pats himself down frantically again:: Self: Humm... ::sits back down drinking more water::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: I see your logic Cmdr. I stand corrected. ::nodding to him::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::chuckles again::
DJ_CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
@::sits back and waits::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
