Resume USS Andromeda "Counter Espionage" 10905.24
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: We rejoin our heroes and heroine in the Library after an intensive firefight; the walls are carbon scored after all the gunfire
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There are slaves here but all the robots have been destroyed
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene:  There are library interfaces here; this is the second level in the dig
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Much of the walls here are lined with neutronium
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: Since we have interfaces here, shall we see what the robots are up to? ::points at the consoles::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Having finished healing the XO, she stands to check out the library::
Host Aaron_Knight says:
All:  Is there anything specific we should be looking for?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Aaron: What the robots are looking for in the library. ::looks around at the others for confirmation.:
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Many of the interfaces here have been activated using an internal power source
Host Aaron_Knight says:
CNS:  Do you know just how much information is probably in this library.....we could be here for days!
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Looks around the room, fascinated, yet unsure of what he was looking at or for. Wishing he studied extra-terrestrial cultures closer.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles:: Aaron: Just pull up the last info accessed - that should give us an idea.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
::shrugs::  CNS:  You're the shrink!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles and heads for one of the consoles:: Aaron: Time you came for a session...
Host Aaron_Knight says:
CNS:  Thanks, but no,......I actually know that I'm screwed up! ::grins::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::stretching his arm trying to get rid of the stiffness::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at the interface, trying to figure it out:: Aaron: Don't I know it.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
XO: You all right, sir?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: A little stiff but I'm ok
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  Lieutenant, this is a repository of a dead civilization. It is their history, culture, literature, music... everything one would leave behind.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
TO:  Say there ace, you're going to have to teach me some of those moves you've got!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: Can you download a copy and look at it later
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns with a lifted brow::  XO:  How much time are you giving me?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
Aaron: I'll fit you in one of my tactical training exercises when we get back to the ship.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::frowns while trying to make sense of what is on the screen::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: Not much
Host Aaron_Knight says:
TO:  Looking forward to it!
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  I also would need the ship... the information here is vast.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
~~~CO~~~ What is the status on that fleet?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: Can't you bring the memory modules from here instead?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The primary screens are showing research into the military aspects of this culture's achievements
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO/XO: We could take what we can and come back for a link with the ship after we got rid of the Doomsday machine. We have to hit it while it’s still vulnerable.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
<CO> ~~~XO:  They are continuing to maintain position. We can't get that close of a look.~~~
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The robots are not interested in the depository here of the civilizations culture/intellectual achievements
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: One directory is listed as anti proton
Host Aaron_Knight says:
All:  I'm with Varesh....let's go blow something up!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods as he gets an idea of what he's looking at:: All: They were looking into the civilization's military achievements, not so big on the cultural and other intellectual things.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: Keep doing research, I’ll lead another team to try locate the weapon and avoid being shot this time
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Security interfaces around the military information have been disabled by an internal error, this information was not meant to be accessed but is being looted by the robots
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles:: Aaron: One firefight and you want to blow things up? I can write a thesis on you. ::grins::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  Just so you know... the information is not set up so it can be transported. I can only download.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The slaves were carry crates which seem to have instruction manuals in them as well
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Awaits the AT leader's decision.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sets his tricorder on the console, attempting to get a link:: CMO: I suppose we have to grab what the robots were looking at and possibly come back for the rest when we've got a bit more time?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Aaron/TO: We're going to try locate the weapon again and this time when someone aims at me, shoot them first
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
XO:  Don't have to tell me that twice! ::grins::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Finds the military data::  Odd....  there appears to be some internal damage... hmmm...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~Aaron: Please be careful? I'd hate to mourn you. I go all splotchy when I cry.~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  I hope we have that opportunity. What would be most fascinating is not what we need most.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: Let me know if you find anything else, I'm going with Aaron and the TO to locate the weapon
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I hope we do too. If we have time now we can try grab the cultural things too.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The robotic fleet is still in orbit around the planet
Host Aaron_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Since when would anyone have to worry about me?~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CO:  Husband mind, are you close enough for an uplink?~~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~Aaron: Since we care about you. Just don't do anything stupidly heroic unless you really have to.~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Continues to work through the damaged area which is military data.::  CNS:  I believe I found what we needed.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
::follows the XO and TO::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Doomsday Device appears on the CMO's screen, and instructions how to build one
Host Aaron_Knight says:
TO:  So ace, how come I haven't seen you around the ship?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::heads deeper into the facility::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: CMO: I see it. Does it show how to destroy that thing?
Host Aaron_Knight says:
~~~<CO> CMO:  I don't think that's possible at the moment Sierra.~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: :: downloads the data::  CNS:  Let me see what I can dig up...
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The XO heads deeper into the facility, it is somewhat darker here, much of the writing is in Iconian here, and this is a lab of some sort
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I'm going to try find some scientific data for analysis.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
Aaron: I'm usually on the Bridge or my office. I don't do much off duty except play with my dog, eat, or workout.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CO:  I did not believe so. I have a civilization worth of data to preserve if I can. I also have the data on the doomsday device.~~~~
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::flips open tricorder and scans the area::
Host Aaron_Knight says:
TO:  Sounds kind of, well, boring....especially for a tactical officer. You should join us sometime in the holodeck or in the lounge.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Screen indicates that this information requires a secret clearance and is intended only in the event the civilization is threatened however, there are internal errors
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
Aaron: Tactical's a lot of hard work and vigilance. ::Keeps an eye on the route they're taking, watching for robots.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Aaron_Knight/TO: Think we're going the right way?
Host Aaron_Knight says:
~~~<CO> CMO:  That's just our luck. Well, do what you can with the info.~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  This may take more time then we have. However, there are internal errors that may be to our advantage.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
::shrugs::  XO:  You're guess is as good as mine boss.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The screen indicates that the race used Iconian gateway technology to gather the neutronium from the core of neutron stars and cut it using a temporal chronoton beam
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: We should be able to navigate around those to get what we need.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
XO: I figure the closer we get to the weapon, the more industrial the scene would look, after all, it's still being constructed. They probably have a route indicator or two around.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
::scans the area::  TO:  At least give it some thought.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The XO enters an Iconian Gateway facility
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  I am now suitably impressed and frustrated I cannot download this cultures data.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::frowns:: CMO: Gateway technology? I don't know about that. Was this civilization Iconian?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
Aaron: You got it. Just let me know where an' when.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
::enters the facility and looks around::  All:  Whoaaaa.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The CMO has discovered an advanced telepathic rune inside the program
Host Aaron_Knight says:
TO:  You're on ace!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Aaron/TO: Is this what I think it is?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  I do not believe so. However, they used Iconian technology for gateways... which remains beyond our science. :: looks over at the counselor::  And for all we know at the moment, the Iconians might have gotten it from these people.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Follows the XO and shines a weak light on the walls to find any signs.::
Host Aaron_Knight says:
XO:  I'm thinking the same thing sir.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: This part of the military database the CMO is looking at is actually written in a telepathic language which only telepaths can read and detects the robots cannot read telepathic script
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::frowns at the screen, peering over the CMO's shoulder:: CMO: What's that? ::points at the script::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
XO: Looks like some sort of transportation system.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The Iconian Gateway has a control panel
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  Most... unusual. I had heard of a written telepathic language, but only in myths....
Host Aaron_Knight says:
XO/TO:  Anyone figure this panel out?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::scans the panel::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The telepathic script floats above the video texts it immediately adjusts to Starfleet standard
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I can't say I've heard of it, and how do you put a telepathic language down on paper or as computer text? This is very interesting.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  It may not be logical, but I am going to be very unhappy if we cannot salvage this cultures information.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Gateway Panel has many symbols and the XO sees a language floating above the letters almost written in the air
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Points to the script::  CNS:  it is more that only telepaths can see it.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Let me try and copy this section and we can try and recreate it on our own systems. ::adjusts his tricorder::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
XO/Aaron: I wish my ex were here. She used know stuff like this, then again, she was a Vulcan so...
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Tries to read the letters over the control panel::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The telepathic script is a failsafe language designed to directly interact with people and assist them but only people of good will can read it
Host Aaron_Knight says:
TO:  I hear ya ace.....is there anything a Vulcan doesn't know? ::grins::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The XO is able to read the odd floating script and the Gateway buttons above them floats Federation standard language the XO can now operate the device
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: This is beyond fascinating...
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
Aaron: Not that I can think of. XO: Can ya make heads or tails of it?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO/Aaron: I can read it, instructions on how to use it
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The CMO begins to read how the Doomsday Device's neutronium hull can be neutralized by a backdoor code which will turn the hull to a material like normal starships, the code will also reduce the power of the antiproton weapon and disable all warp engines of the device
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  I have what we need...
Host Aaron_Knight says:
XO/TO:  Well, now we're getting somewhere.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Civilization is ashamed it had to build the device but it was thought the only defense against..........The Borg
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::blinks as he reads over Sky's shoulder:: CMO: Backdoor code... I can't believe it.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: steps back slightly::  CNS:  I have a question though... given all that we have seen so far... why would they create such a weapon?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::points at the screen:: CMO: The Borg.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Aaron/TO: Where do you want to go today?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Civilization would be aghast if the device was ever used against humanoid worlds this is way the failsafe is in place
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
XO: I think the weapon's construction platform would be good.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
::looks over at the TO::  TO:  You make the call ace!
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: simply shakes her head::  CNS:  I wonder what happened to them in the end.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Gateway is on, The XO sees the bridge of the Andromeda for a second, the surface of the Guardian of Forever for a minute, Starfleet Command Earth for a second.,,
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: All telepaths can now read all alien script and language here
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Tries use the gateway to establish a link to the weapon construction platform
XO_Lt_Conor says:
<add ::>
XO_Lt_Conor says:
~~~CMO~~~ I have an Iconian gateway here to play with
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I don't know, but it can't be good if they are not around anymore.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
XO:  You're not going to believe this, but I can read all this stuff now.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Aaron_Knight: Text suddenly become readable for you too?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The XO gets a fix on the Construction platform, the Device is in pre-flight countdown
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ XO:  And I have the information we need to stop the doomsday device. Its original purpose was to stop the Borg. I am beginning to wonder if this race was the originator of the Iconian technology.~~~~
Host Aaron_Knight says:
::nods::  XO:  Uh huh.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
~~~CMO: Can you use this technology now?~~~
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The race was a peaceful people, known as the Lumina
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: We need to tell the Captain about the code, find a way to use it and get rid of that machine. If we get that done we can come back and try preserve this information.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ XO:  I believe so.~~~~
XO_Lt_Conor says:
~~~CMO: We're going to try board the doomsday device and stop it from taking off~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at the counselor and nods her head::  ~~~~ CO:  I have some general information for you... got a PADD?~~~~
Host Aaron_Knight says:
~~~<CO>  CMO:  I do now.~~~  ::reaches for a PADD::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ XO: Is that necessary if we are able to stop it by other means?~~~~
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Whole dig site shakes moderately....the impulse engines of the device are firing
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Red light on Andromeda main tactical board, Launch in progress on planet surface of Prototype device
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::glances up::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
~~~CMO: Other means? Do we have the ability to use them or would we be better off inside the ship~~~
Host Aaron_Knight says:
XO/TO:  Um, what was that?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looking at the data on the screen, relays the information on how to neutralize the doomsday device.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ XO:  I have relayed the necessary information to the captain.~~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Perhaps we should retreat back to the shuttle if the Andromeda is going to fire on that ship.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Aaron: eh?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
Aaron: What was what?
Host Aaron_Knight says:
XO/TO:  You guys didn't feel the dig site shake for a moment?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at the counselor, frustration in her eyes::  CNS:  I want to wait as long as we can... to loose all this information...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Well, if the ship gets blow up in orbit... ::gives a small smile::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Doomsday Device casts off her moorings....there is a terrible rumble now....the beast is loose! Climbing and firing all impulse engines, her maw filled with pure anti-proton energy is aflame with conquest and blood!
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
Both: They're probably gonna launch. we have to stop them.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
<Aidan> CO:  Captain, tactical just lit up like a Christmas tree!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::curses:: ::tries set the Iconian gateway to the Doomsday engine room::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  Keep a close eye on things. If nothing else, I would like to try to gain their science database.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Gateway cannot pierce the neutronium hull
Host Aaron_Knight says:
<CO> ::reviews the info on the PADD::  Aidan:  Relay this information I'm sending you over to the Silverhawk.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Aye. ::hopes the Captain can use the information Sky gave him in time::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Andromeda sensors detect a brand new Doomsday Device with a silver new glistening hull of pure neutronium, she is 100 % fully operational and in orbit
Host Aaron_Knight says:
<Aidan>  ::receives the information and routes it the Silverhawk::  CO:  Information relayed.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  I might even find an answer for your disappearing act.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Now you're just teasing me... You think you can?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: More to herself::  CNS:  If only I could do an uplink...   :: Looks at him::  I have already been working on it. Who knows what I can learn from this technology.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Doomsday Device pauses, pivots suddenly at warp 5 and heads towards Federation Space and is gone!
Host Aaron_Knight says:
<CO>  ::enters the code and hopes it will work::  Aidan:  Once the Silverhawk has entered the information, tell them to prepare to engage.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
<Aidan> CO:  Um, sir.....it's gone. It went to warp 5 and then disappeared....heading toward Federation space.
Host Aaron_Knight says:
~~~<CO> XO:  Conor, the device just jumped to warp and disappeared towards Federation space!
