Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 11303.15

Previously on DS102:

The crew of the Station is aboard the USS Scorpius on a rescue effort in a fleet that has apparently been decimated by a terrifying enemy force. Little is known about this force at present, but intelligence gathering is ongoing. There has been little progress to date.

FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::On Bridge at Helm station, maintaining present location::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::On Bridge, continuing to work at bridging the syntax issues between ship's computer and the recovered computer core.:: All: If we weren't sure before, the computer confirms it. This is a previously unknown or at least little known, species.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::at secondary tactical console, monitoring the CSO progress and with one eye, monitoring the FCO... the USS Scorpius paintjob is spotless so far::
CO_Cpt_YoGhi says:
:: picking up his cup from his ready room desk and walk to the Bridge ::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: The unknown species computer has a few language variations off of what we consider normal, should be able to piece through it. Not that far off of some of the models I've worked with. I think. Honestly first time I've tried this for real so...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: You are doing fine, Ensign. Just keep working. ::nods::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: Aye, Captain. It's weird, since I joined I think this is the "quietest" my host has been. Strange, but I think Trix is trying to benefit from my experience in this case. ::Starts a second linkage to test an outdated Bynar "universal theory" computer language.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: Carry on.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::in sickbay, helping treat the last of the injured::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CNS*: Commander, any progress with the survivors in what regards to the origin of this tragedy?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: I'm still working on the link up with the recovered computer core. Going slow, but only way I see to speed it up is to remove the "avoid direct contact between that computer and the ship's" I put in. Don't think we're in that much of a rush, right?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
*SC*: No, Captain, at least not by name. I'm just getting impressions of really bad people.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CNS*: Thanks Commander. Marek out.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::returns her attention to her patients::
CO_Cpt_YoGhi says:
CSO: I don't see any real rush for now. Maybe a physical link with a shuttle computer might be a safe alternative. But do we have reasons to believe the recovered core is unsafe?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Nothing solid, just trying to make sure we don't have any avoidable disastrous mistakes.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I think we should take thing very cautiously. My recommendation would be to treat the survivors, gather all the computer and information storage devices that we can, and then try to solve this puzzle.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Between the fact that the language is pretty foreign to our computer, and the fact we don't even know who the core came from, I thought it best to play it overly safe, sir.
CO_Cpt_YoGhi says:
CSO: Alright, keep me posted on your progress
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Aye Captain.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: I reckon you have been very, very quiet for quite some time... too concentrated on your piloting? ::smiles::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Lets the computer continue its efforts, but starts a manual look at the computer code, hoping a burst of intuition might help. At the least hoping to see some patterns in the data so we can sort the data quicker later::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: Yes Sir. Not so difficult at this point, but it's about all I have to do for the moment.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Very well, we all expect no less from you than a perfect piloting. ::nods::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Self: Hmm, a few familiar patterns in different areas. Let's try this... ::Takes an older Reman model (one of the few on file) logic program and works in some Tellarite phraseology and usage.:: Self: If this is true, what a combo. Sheesh.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: Mostly Sir, I'm trying to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary, either here or "out there..."
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Indeed. I concur with you. Listen, have you ever consider a transfer to the tactical branch?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: Sir, if you take a look at my file, you'll find I've an aptitude for shooting stuff
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: I know Tac is more than that, but it's a start, right?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Computer: Excellent, now let's see if there's anything we can do makeshift, like maybe realigning the... ::Trails off and starts trying again to smooth out the areas of resistance.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Maybe we can discuss something when we returned to the Station... and yes, it is only a departing point. I was a rather good marksman back in the day, check the records on the rescue of Ambassador Phlom. Anyway, if you are interested, we will continue this chat.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: I will Sir, I will
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Computer: Access ship files, look up a statistical analysis program by...Kretan Amarik and Yerlow Grashnik. Over wright the bridging syntax using their computer language, let's see if we can jump start this by going waaay back.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::trying not to sound "too" anxious at the offer::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Computer: Link data box labeled "GEM" in Science labs, have it run "Data Alignment Algorithm Three", don't worry about the fact it's not in your database, it will be when approved by Starfleet Command. Or when it's brought up in a court-martial for using untested software... But, keep it separate from ship's core, just in case!
