Host Lea says:
@Summary: Aboard the Andromeda, Captain and Doctor Knight conclude their questioning of Gallard as a message from Gehmohr is routed through OPS.
Host Lea says:
Summary: Lieutenant Commander Conor and Ensign McQuade arrive with Meekin Mek at the main access to the computer core;
Host Lea says:
Summary: Doctor Wilkins continues to monitor the status of the unconscious Ensign Foxx, and Ensign Ivara works with Martinis Mek at a control several meters away from the shuttle, maintaining the communications aperture and investigating a “hunch” of Ivara's.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin: Can you get some power restored in here?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::at Martinis' side, looking at the various star charts and patterns her eyes flicking over the display screen quickly::
Host Meekin says:
<Martinis>::Standing beside Ivara as the computer:: CSO: I apologize for it taking so long, Xerus... Without the advanced capabilities of the astrometrics computers, searching for a particular arrangement of stars from a particular angle will be considerably more involved.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sits back, waiting for the computer to keep sending the message he had composed.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pauses against the wall to catch his breath and let the pain subside from his ribs.::
Host Meekin says:
::Looks between Tavish and Mr. Intimidating, and nods:: XO: Some, at least.  This way.  ::Tentatively steps ahead of the group, leading them toward a narrow walkway around the side of the core::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: On the bridge, she looks over the sensor logs again, her husband hovering near by as he works on keeping from pacing.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO: Good work, Ensign. The message seems to have got through. ::nods to Martinis:: Martinis: How long will that aperture stay open?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Rolls himself off the wall and follows behind the group around the side of the computer core.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::nods and glances around the shuttle bay:: Martinis: I understand.  ::looks thoughtful for a moment:: Martinis: Do you still have access to the map we made earlier?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
<del last>
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin/CEO: Let's make this quick. I'm not sure people will be happy if they find us in here.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CSO*: Good work, Ensign. Any idea how long that aperture will stay open?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  You can be 100% sure Commander.  One way or another they’re not happy with us at this point.
Host Meekin says:
ACTION: A light begins to blink on Ivara's console.
Host Meekin says:
<Martinis> ::Shrugs, looking back to Ivara:: CSO: As long as we want, barring anything unforeseen.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Taps his fingers on the console as he waits for a reply.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::glances at the flashing light:: Martinis: Is that something important? ::points at it::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Turns to listen to OPS as he calls their attention to an incoming comm from the away team.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks over at Wilcox:: MO: How are you holding up?
Host Meekin says:
::Crouches down a bit, then slips into a cross-legged seated position. Pulls a panel off the bottom of the core's wall, exposing some internals beneath:: XO/CEO: Either of you have some sort of power source?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin: How much power are we talking about?
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Looks up::  CNS:  Fine... fine, counselor.  As with anyone, I do not like waiting.  I like it even less that there is little I can do.  :: shakes his head::  Not about healing, that I am fine with.  It is good when no one is hurt.  But the reason I am here is totally moot.
Host Meekin says:
::Shrugs:: XO: Just enough to kick-start the systems.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::hands Meekin his tricorder:: Meekin: There should be enough power left in that.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles:: MO: I'd rather the reason you're here be moot and you're just along for the ride than you working like a fevered madman trying to keep us all alive.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CNS* Can you read me from in here?
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
<OPS Breskin> CO/CMO:  Sir, Something has happened aboard the station that caused the power in all the living/working areas of the ship to go down. Shuttle bays still working fine. Included report from the CEO with information he uncovered.
Host Meekin says:
<Martinis> ::Looks over the computer and smiles:: CSO: Yes...the computer found a good match for your description.  ::Frowns slightly:: It's surprisingly nearby.   And yes, I should be able to pull a copy of the map from the secondary computer core.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Looks at the tricorder wondering if she is going to fry another one.::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@<OPS Breskin> CO/CMO: "Caution Station damaged by Agtak plot to uncover dangerous and illegal Chalak experiments.  My tricorder is destroyed.  Only enough power for one message.  Escape the Station at all costs.  Ensign McQuade."  Don't know if we can keep path through nebula open for return orders/information from the ship.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::draws her tricorder, and checks that the map copy was saved to the shuttle's computer core, then smiles and brings up the map on its display:: Martinis: Well then, let’s see where it is.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ <OPS Breskin> CO/CMO:  It is signed by Commander Varesh.
MO_Wilcox says:
CNS: I would appreciate some answers though.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Looks up at Ethan's face::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Loud as ever, sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: You and me both. Other than the short message from Ens. McQuade, I don't know anything.
Host Meekin says:
::Accepts the tricorder and turns it over, prying a cover off of it to expose the power cell. She loosens a few connections, then slips it into the back of the computer core, reconnecting it there::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CNS* Can you beam me a large data storage node in here? I need to extract some data.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Kneels down next to Meekin.::  Meekin:  How long are we going to have?
Host Meekin says:
<Martinis> ::Presses a few controls, bringing up the map of their earlier scan, and overlaying the computer's resultant location over it:: CSO: Here  ::Points at a small, white-ish star a few light-years from Redniy::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: I can try to, sir. Is the space in your immediate vicinity clear so I can beam it in near you? ::nods to Wilcox to get a storage node from stores.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::frowns slightly:: Martinis: Do you have any records of exploration of that system?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CNS* Yeah, should be fine.
Host Meekin says:
::Looks across:: CEO: From the time I jump-start the backup power, you should have between 5 and 10 minutes to dump as much data as you want.  Or you could access just the directory for ten minutes, to try to locate what information you want....then you'd have only 2-to-4 minutes for the actual data dump.
Host Meekin says:
<Martinis>::Shakes his head:: CSO: Not that I'm aware of. We don't really travel beyond our own system very often; our culture is fairly insular. It's one of the reasons we've developed such expansive sensor capabilities.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Do you think there will be any data on the experiment or what went wrong?   I thought most of this was kept off the main computers?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  We will be ready shortly, but we are only looking at 5 to 10 minutes at best.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::takes the node from the MO and moves over to the transporter to place the node on the pad, setting the location one meter from the XO:: *XO*: Incoming. ::taps the controls sending the node off to the XO::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: As her husband asks her to check out the communication he has OPS open a channel for her to verify::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CNS* Roger, have we gotten comms with the Andy back yet? If so find out if there need something over here. Same goes for you lot in the shuttle.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ COMM: CNS:  Counselor, this is the USS Andromeda.  Please respond.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Speak of the devil, it’s just coming through now.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Looks over at the console and mumbles.::  finally...
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin/CEO: Ok, we'll grab any data on these illegal experiments and anything else the rest of the crew may think what we need.
MO_Wilcox says:
CNS: Commander, incoming.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CNS* And unless you've got a spare generator handy, make it quick. We haven't got much power in here.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles at Wilcox:: COM: CMO: Andromeda, this is the away team. I believe you got the message. I don't know much more than what I've included in that short report.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
Martinis: Of course, and I'm sure your sensor array is down due to the issues. ::makes a vague movement with her hands.:: Martinis: Still I'd be curious if you picked up any odd readings from that system
Host Meekin says:
::Raises a breath, then sighs:: CEO: I don't know what to expect anymore. I was the one digging through the computers, trying to find a hint of anything...useful, against the Chalak. One day I found what appeared to be deleted registries in the experiments index...
Host Meekin says:
CEO: It was through following those leads that I found experiment data registered, backed to external drives, then deleted. Just...not well enough for me not to find it.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Listens to the counselors voice and nods her head that it is his.::  CNS:  I believe the proper wording is, it took you long enough to contact us.  Do you need anything?  Is everyone alright then?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Well let’s see what we can find.  ::Stands and moves over to the access terminal.::  I might need you to lead me through this Meekin.
Host Meekin says:
::Nods, touching two connectors together, then stands beside McQuade::
Host Meekin says:
ACTION: Two consoles flicker faintly to life at the side of the computer core::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::keeping an eye out for any uninvited guests while the CEO and Meekin work on extracting the data::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Begins tapping through the computer data as the consoles come online.::  Meekin:  Lead the way.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
COM: CMO: I was too polite to yell at you and Ethan. Conor asked if we had some power source for what I think is him having enough power to the computer core to get something, but the shuttle doesn't have anything that fits that requirement. Can you beam anything to our location outside the shuttle and I can relay it to him?
Host Meekin says:
<Martinis> CSO: I can do a search.  ::Nods, and begins accessing the computer, initiating the search::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Bends down to the data node and run the cables over to the computer core.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: I will see if the Andromeda can send us a power supply that can power what I think you want powered for long enough. It is the core, right?
Host Meekin says:
::Nods, and begins working through the computer:: CEO: I would suggest pulling everything from the experimental data directory. It's all the data gathered by station sensors...Going back for just a month would get us at least something, since I've found registry traces as recently as two weeks ago.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CNS* If you can fit something in here like that then send more data cores while you're at it.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO/Meekin: Maybe we won't have to be selective on what we take.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Connects the data node to the computer core.::  Meekin:  Okay sounds good.  Our data node is connected.  You should be able to begin dumping the data.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
COM: CMO: We need more high volume data storage devices in the meantime - I think they are trying to copy as much of the computer core as possible.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  We have to be selective based on the power we have.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Stands.::  Meekin:  I agree sensor data and anything from the experimental data files.  We can find a match within that.
Host Meekin says:
::Nods:: CEO: If we have time, I'll run a scraper to pull any deleted data from the directory, as additional corroboration.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Could we pull individual lab requests for things like additional power or equipment?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::turns the images over in her mind trying to keep them as fresh as possible::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ COMM:  CNS:  Unfortunately, we are not calibrated to work through the atmosphere.  I will see what we can do.  Meanwhile, keep in touch.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
COM: CMO: Understood. I'll see what I can do here about data storage.
Host Meekin says:
<Martinis> ::Shakes his head:: CSO: I'm not getting anyth--  ::A light flickers on the computer:: --Wait, here. One survey report.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Nada on anything being beamed from the ship, I can send you some more data storage but we don't have that much as far as I can tell. ::nods to Wilcox to start getting whatever they can find and heads to the storage area, wondering if he can replicate something.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin: Surely this station has some sort of backup power in place, this sabotage couldn't have taken them all out right?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::steps over to peak over Martinis' shoulder, she fail's due to height differences, so she peers around him::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Hears the comm over Commander Conor's comm badge.::  XO:  Sir can we relay the data directly to the Andromeda's computer?  Instead of using local data nodes?
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@  :: listens as Ethan sends an order for engineering to acquire a power source they can send.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: I only have my tricorder available, I doubt the bandwidth would be any better via that compared to dumping data locally.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::finds the modules and places them on the transporter pad:: *XO*: The ensign has a point, but I'm sending you storage modules anyways, in case the link with the ship goes down.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ COMM: Counselor:  I believe we can resolve part of our problem of sending you anything.  I can send items to a comm signal.  I would suggest you put the badge in a large area as without sensors, we cannot finesse this.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  How’s the data dump going?  ::Looks at the console to see if there is anything he can help with.::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: As she speaks, she works on sending the transporter room the information they need to calibrate the transporter.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
COM: CMO: I will relay that to the Commander. ::transports the data modules over to their location::
Host Meekin says:
CEO: Download is running...but we are running out of space. If you can get more storage modules, that will help. We have about 2 minutes left on core power.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ COMM: CNS:  The captain is getting items ready.  Make your wish list now.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Sir, the Andromeda can transport something directly to your location, but due to the nature of the nebula our transporter signal can't be pinpointed that well, so it will have to be to a comm signal and quite a large, empty area.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: listens and adds some medical supplies that will be needed if power is not back on soon.::
Host Meekin says:
XO: We are using the backup power. The station -- this side of it -- primary and emergency power were taken out. Only the backup power on the core...essentially, the memory power...is intact. But it's only designed to keep the core from losing data during an outage, not to permit active access of the data.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Moves over to the new data nodes that appear.::  Meekin:  You’re in luck.   ::Pulls the nodes over closer and begins to daisy chain them into the previous data node.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::looks around judging the space available::
Host Meekin says:
XO: That's what I'm circumventing...using it to give us immediate access, at the cost of long-term core integrity.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CNS* 5 meters away from my current comm badge location. Be careful.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
COM: CMO: A power source large enough to power their computer core for at least an hour or longer and twenty large volume data modules.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin: I may be able to get you some more power very soon.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Aye, sir.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin/CEO: Can you halt the download to save whatever power is remaining until we get this generator online and keep the remaining data intact?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Continues hooking up the new data nodes.::   Meekin:  You should have some more space.  I'll continue to hook up the additional nodes.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
COM: CMO: Transport the equipment five meters from Commander Power's combadge location. ::includes that information in the transmission::
Host Meekin says:
<Martinis> ::Shrugs:: CSO: Nothing appears to be out of the ordinar-- ::Breaks down, narrowing his eyes a bit:: Hm.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ COMM:  CNS:  Not knowing the size needed, we are going to send you our largest transportable one.  The CEO may need to adapt it.  Or whoever is working with it.  Give us a few more minutes.  Anything else you need?
Host Meekin says:
::Looks between Tavish and Mr. Not-Quite-as-Intimidating-Anymore::  XO/CEO: Yes...but at this point, we'd have...about an hour, on standard backup power.  ::Looks over the computer:: But we have downloaded all of the sensor and experiment directories. All that was left was the scraping program.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Relays the information to the transporter chief::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
COM: CMO: That will have to do, thanks. I won't say no to some leave on Risa when we get time. I'd like to drop in to see my mother.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Sir the down load is complete.  ::Looks at Meekin.::  Meekin:  Can we grab communications from the labs?
MO_Wilcox says:
CNS:  Once that is sent, I have a list of medical supplies that will probably be needed to help the others.  The more time that passes, the worse their conditions will be, especially in certain areas.
Host Meekin says:
::Looks again:: CEO/XO: But if you want to pause the download, I need to know now. Every second that passes, we lose another minute or two of backup computer time.   ::Nods to Tavish, adding the communications to the queue of downloads::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ COMM:  CNS:  You will need to take that up with the captain.  Power source should be there shortly.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin/CEO: Pause the download. If we can get power back in here, we grab everything off the core regardless of how useful we think it may be or not.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Do you have the list handy?
Host Meekin says:
<Martinis> CSO: That's odd. Something looks...off, here. ::Points at a few entries in the survey:: As if some of the data is corrupted, or missing.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Sir.  We may not have an hour to get the generator hooked up.  We should just get what we can and get back to the safety of the Andromeda.
Host Meekin says:
::Ducks below the computer to the open access panel, and disconnects part of her rigging:: XO: Done.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: As soon as the transporter chief informs them the power supply has arrived, she passes the order to transport.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Martinis: That sounds unusual.  Any chance of bringing up the original data?
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Hands over the PADD::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
COM: CMO: Wilcox has some medical supplies that we'll need too. Can you send that to our transporter pad? As for shore leave... I'll enlist Aidan's help on persuading our dear Captain.
Host Meekin says:
ACTION: A power supply appears safely about 5 meters from the XO's position.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::points at the supply:: CEO/Meekin: Is this good enough?
Host Meekin says:
::Looks over at the item that materialized nearby:: XO: I'll...see what I can do with it. But the core draws massive amounts of power.  You want me to hook it up?
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
@ COMM:  CNS:  As long as we have a strong comm signal, we can transport.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin/CEO: Do what is necessary. I want as much data from this core as possible.
Host Meekin says:
ACTION: A sound can be heard through the Computer Core room...the main doors, through which the trio had passed so recently, can be heard to slide open...
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Moves over to the power supplies looking them over.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pulls the phaser from the pocket he placed them in.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::draws his phaser rifle and takes up a covered position seeing who is coming in:: ::quietly:: All: Hide!
Host Meekin says:
<Martinis> CSO: I'm...not sure. Computers - this level of work - isn't exactly my specialty. That I noticed it at all is practically dumb luck...  But I'll try.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Kneels down behind the power supplies.::  Self:  Hide.....  Really....
Host Meekin says:
ACTION: From their hushed-and-hurried hiding places, the Starfleet officers and Meekin spy a group of nine Chalak pass through the doors into the computer core room. They step inside, then turn back to wait for a tenth (who was working the door) to join them - one the party recognizes, as Marlin Chenwa of the Colin family.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::nods:: Martinis: You are clearly having better luck then I am.
