Mission Summary 10511.07

The station is spinning uncontrollably, faster and faster, with artificial gravity offline the spinning has created enough centripetal force to create an artificial gravity of twice earth sea level on the outer edge of the station, people are walking slowly on the walls

As if that weren't bad enough, the saboteur left commands in the system that if someone attempted to hack control over thrusters, the auto-destruct sequence would activate, coded to only stop if 2 officers of rank Commander or higher ordered it.

Commander Martin has entered her command, the station will only accept a final command to shut down auto-destruct from Admiral Hamilton, who unfortunately hit her head when the station started spinning and has a concussion.

We are currently at 55 seconds till auto-destruct

<<<<<<<<<<RESUME>>>>>>>>>>

Nick:
<Computer> Warning Auto-Destruct Sequence has been activated, 50 seconds till auto-destruct

XO Cmdr Martin:
*Adm* Admiral this is important, please stay with us - long enough to order the end of the auto destruct sequence!

Nick:
<AdmHamilton> *XO*: I've got a massive Headache and I'm feeling a bit dizzy Commander

Nick:
<Computer> All: Warning Auto-Destruct Sequence has been activated, 40 seconds till auto-destruct

XO Cmdr Martin:
*Adm* It won't matter if you've got a headache if the station blows up!

XO Cmdr Martin:
*Adm* Just tell the computer to end the auto destruct sequence, and Dr. Burton will give you something for the headache!

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::still in operations:: Computer: shut do9wn power flow to nodes l94 and J62 Alpha on the Thruster control deck reroute the power into reverse thrusters and divert the extra to the dilithium storage tanks!

Nick:
<AdmHamilton> *XO* Right.... and why is the station blowing up again?

XO Cmdr Martin:
*Adm* Can I explain that after you've stopped the auto destruct sequence?

Nick:
ACTION: The CTO's station explodes, releasing him from his handhold and causing him to fly into the view screen

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::hopes this seemingly basic power redirection will kill most thrusters and reroute the ones opposite to slow the station to a stop::

Nick:
<Computer> All: Warning, Auto-destruct sequence has been activated, 30 seconds till auto destruct

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
Self: AWWW

TO MJDoole:
::due to the "gravity" , does a slow-motion run over to the CTO::

TO MJDoole:
CTO: Are you alright?

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
TO: Don't worry about me STOP the sequence or we are all dead!

Nick:
<AdmHamilton> *XO* Right that's a good plan... er... what was the plan again?

XO Cmdr Martin:
*Adm* Please Admiral, it's a simple sentence, just tell the computer to end the auto destruct sequence, and give it your authorization code.

Nick:
<Computer> All: Warning, Auto-destruct sequence has been activated, 20 seconds till auto-destruct.

TO MJDoole:
CTO: Do I look like the Admiral? I have no authority...but I have an idea that may work.

TO MJDoole:
::goes to the nearest computer bank::

XO Cmdr Martin:
::is starting to think dealing with the Admiral like a child would be easier right now...::

XO Cmdr Martin:
*CMO* Can you help her at all Doc? We don't have much time.

Nick:
<AdmHamilton> *XO* Oh yeah... that was it <Computer> All: Warning Self Destruct Sequence has been activated, 10 seconds till auto-destruct, 9....8....7...6.. <AdmHamilton> Computer: Deactivate auto.... deactivate auto-destruct sequence, authorization Hamilton-23-Alpha-Omega...

Nick:
<Computer> All: 4....3....2.........Command Codes verified, auto-destruct sequence deactivated.

XO Cmdr Martin:
::hears the computer and breaths a sigh of relief::

TO MJDoole:
::looks over shoulder to CTO:: CTO: Never mind.

Nick:
ACTION: The Admiral looses consciousness again

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
TO: Send an overload to the last set of Gel packs prior to reaching the thruster control module. If we blow them out it should prevent power feed to thrusters we can replace them later. I hope

XO Cmdr Martin:
*Adm* Thank you Admiral....*CMO*Doctor, take care of her best as you can, gravity will be restored as soon as possible along with thruster control.

TO MJDoole:
*XO*: The only way that I know to bypass the saboteur's work is to do a complete station-wide shutdown, purge the system, and reboot the system.

XO Cmdr Martin:
*TO* If you can shut her down, by all means do so, as long as we can get systems back up and running fast. There are bound to be wounded on the station, and we can't afford to loose any more time than necessary

TO MJDoole:
*XO*: Commencing station-wide shut down. ::sighs:: Hold on to your butt.

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::attempts to drag himself over to the science station with some difficulty and reroutes Operations control to science one::

XO Cmdr Martin:
::still leaning over the console and holds on tight::

CMO Lt Burton:
::Trying to stabilize the Admiral::

TO MJDoole:
::over station intercom:: ALL: Standby for station-wide shutdown. All security teams...go to Code 7. Hold on to your butts. ::executes the commands for the station-wide shutdown::

XO Cmdr Martin:
::hopes the TO's idea works cause she's starting to feel space sick from the spinning::

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::places a record and trace marker into the network to catch if any rouge programs attempt to avoid the shutdown::

Nick:
ACTION: The system shuts down, all power goes out including life support, all lights go out, the thrusters shut down, but the station continues to accelerate

TO MJDoole:
*XO*: Station-wide shut down complete. Purging System. ::executes the purging commands::

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
TO: Well that helped, start i back up Lieutenant, I will watch for any rouge applications and attempt to delete them

Nick:
ACTION: Purge command fails, attempts to reactivate the system subsequently fail

TO MJDoole:
*XO*: Purge complete. Commencing restart

XO Cmdr Martin:
*TO* We're still accelerating, I hope you noticed..

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::waits for systems to come back so he can run a scan for any foreign gravity wells outside the station::

TO MJDoole:
::over station-wide intercom:: ALL: Stand-by for Station restart.

TO MJDoole:
*XO*: I realize that. Hopefully the restart will correct that.

Nick:
ACTION: The system does not start back up.

XO Cmdr Martin:
::waits patiently for a minute, then taps at the console she's holding onto, to try and restart things herself::

TO MJDoole:
::Executes the restart commands and sequence::

Nick:
ACTION: The system does not start up, in the banquet hall the unconscious aliens all glow purple

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::gets a phaser and attempts to plug it into the operations console to give it some power then attempts to call up transporters and waits::

TO MJDoole:
::working the console at a furious pace to get the station to restart::

TO MJDoole:
::fingers a "blur" flying over the console, typing command after command::

CMO Lt Burton:
*XO*: Interesting news here, our guest appear to be glowing purple.

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
TO: Send a COMM to the Nova class ship docked in the bay see if the computer responds

XO Cmdr Martin:
::tapping at the console, but stops and tries to comprehend what the Doc just said:: CMO: What do you mean, "glowing purple"....? ::grumbles something under her breath about how many things can go wrong in one day::

Nick:
ACTION: The power outage causes the seal holding the 2 support craft, the nova and the nebula to break free, neither are harmed.

Nick:
<edit: causes the seal to break>

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
TO: Mr. Doole, if the Nova Class responds order it to beam us aboard. Just you and me for now.

TO MJDoole:
CTO: Standby.

Nick:
<Ensign Peterson> *CTO*: This is Ensign Peterson on board the Nova sir, I can't get a lock you are moving too fast.

Nick:
<Ensign Peterson> *CTO/XO/TO* Um, are you sure that the station is offline, I'm showing power coming from something on the outer ring

CMO Lt Burton:
*XO*: They are just... purple.

XO Cmdr Martin:
*Ens P* Ensign, can you identify what that power is and what it's coming from exactly?

TO MJDoole:
*Nova*: Identify.

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
*Peterson*: Can you get more data with the ship's sensors?

Nick:
*XO/TO*: It's moving too fast, but there seems to be 3 of them, and they are outputting a lot of power

TO MJDoole:
*Ensign Peterson*: 3 of what Peterson?

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
*Peterson*: can you lock on to the XO? She is near the core.

XO Cmdr Martin:
*Ens P* Are the targeting sensors good enough and fast enough to fire on the energy sources?

TO MJDoole:
<Ensign>

Nick:
*TO*: Confirmed they are impulse engines sir

Nick:
*TO*: And the power signature is not Starfleet

TO MJDoole:
*TO*: Not Starfleet? Can you id them? *XO*: Peterson says the power signatures are from impulse engines and not Starfleet.

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
*Peterson*: You the ranking officer aboard?

Nick:
<Ensign Peterson> *XO*: I don't know Commander, I can try but I might have to get in real close and attempt to orbit the station.

XO Cmdr Martin:
*TO* Interesting....*All, include. Ens Peterson* Okay, I want those engines off the station, whatever means necessary - phaser fire, transporters, whatever - get them off!

Nick:
<Ensign Peterson> *CTO* There are only 3 of us aboard sir, all Ensigns.

TO MJDoole:
*XO*: It would also explain why the restart didn't work.

XO Cmdr Martin:
*All* If we damage the station the Captain will have my head when he gets back, but if it happens, it happens. Ensign Peterson, please be so kind as to make an attempt at destroying those engines.

TO MJDoole:
*Ensign Peterson*: Fine. You're in charge. Get those engines out of commission.

Nick:
ACTION: The Nova attempts to start orbiting the station accelerating to try and match the speed of the station's rotation so as to get a better lock on the engines.

Nick:
<Ensign Peterson> *CTO/TO/XO* Coming up on the first engine, going this fast I can see it better now, I have never seen a device like it, targeting phasers, I'm going to try and detach it from the station by shooting at where it's latched on

Nick:
ACTION: The Nova class is only about 50 meters from the station's hull

XO Cmdr Martin:
*EnsP* You can do it Ensign

CMO Lt Burton:
::Looses his grip and sails across the room::

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
*Peterson*: Low yield please .. err

TO MJDoole:
*Ensign Peterson*: Acknowledged. Fire at will.

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
*Station Wide*: Brace for impact!/

XO Cmdr Martin:
::holds on tighter than she did before, hoping the plan works::

Nick:
ACTION: The Nova fires at the first impulse engine, it flies off the station narrowly missing the nova, both the station and the nova rock from the impact, the nova comes within 50 feet of hitting the hull before controlling it's movements, the station slows down, but there are still 2 emitters to go.

CMO Lt Burton:
::Tries to grip....anything::

Nick:
ACTION: The aliens in the conference room are now a blinding purple light

Nick:
<Ensign Peterson> *CTO/XO* Sheesh that was close, approaching the second engine

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::in the mean time Cor begins manually imputing base command and control sub routines back into the computer core using the isolinear reroutes while the primary systems remain offline::

CMO Lt Burton:
*XO*: Sir, our guests are quite bright now.

XO Cmdr Martin:
*CMO* The station will hopefully be back under our control soon, Doc I need to know what the guests are up to - do you have a tricorder handy?

Nick:
<Ensign Peterson> *CTO/XO* Ready to fire on the second engine sirs

XO Cmdr Martin:
*EnsP* Fire when ready Ensign. Be careful...

Nick:
ACTION: Again the Nova fires, again the impulse engine flies off the station, this time it explodes sending a small shockwave that rocks the station and the nova harder, but the nova was ready for it this time, and didn't come in danger of hitting the station.

TO MJDoole:
*XO*: When Peterson knocks out the 3rd engine, I'll try another station-wide restart.

CMO Lt Burton:
::Tries to take a tricorder reading while pinned against the wall::

XO Cmdr Martin:
::watches her knuckles go white from holding on so tight to the console::

Nick:
ACTION: The impulse engines were obviously draining power from the station, some power starts to come back online.

XO Cmdr Martin:
*EnsP* Good work Ensign, one more to go.

Nick:
ACTION: The Station slows enough that gravity falls to just under Earth's sea level.

XO Cmdr Martin:
*EnsP* Fire when you're ready.

Nick:
<Ensign Peterson> *XO* I see the 3rd engine now Commander. Firing

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::taps his console attempting to bring voice commands back online::

XO Cmdr Martin:
*CTO/TO* Bring life support and gravity back online as priority items as we get power back.

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
Computer: Recognize Lt Commander Cor Archen. Acting 1st. Officer. Load core subroutines and bring primary systems back online.

Nick:
ACTION: A 3rd time the Nova fires, a 3rd time the Alien impulse engine flies away from the station, but it veers off course and strikes the nova and explodes while embedded in the Nova's hull, the Nova explodes violently, causing a shockwave that pushes the station out of it's normal position in space, spiraling off

Nick:
<Ensign Peterson> *all* Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TO MJDoole:
*XO*: Commencing restart.....NOW!

TO MJDoole:
::Executes the restart commands and sequence:

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::feels station shake::

CMO Lt Burton:
::Watches the Nova explode:: Self: My god!

XO Cmdr Martin:
*EnsP* Ensign? ::topples off the console that she was on as the shockwave hits::

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
TO: What was that ..

Nick:
ACTION: The shockwave reverses the spin of the station and causes everyone to be weightless, the 3 glowing purple aliens in the Conference room vanish completely

TO MJDoole:
::heavy sigh:: CTO: We just lost the Nova

Nick:
ACTION: All systems start coming online. when gravity comes online everyone falls to the floor

XO Cmdr Martin:
::Shakes her head at the sudden weightlessness, and then falls back to the ground:: self:: oof!

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
TO: No ... *Peterson*: Ensign, Peterson... Nova Class ... Peterson .. Peterson come in .... damn

CMO Lt Burton:
*XO*: Sir, we have a problem here. Some of our guests just disappeared.

TO MJDoole:
Computer: Scan for the Nova.

XO Cmdr Martin:
*CMO* What? that's not right...::gets to her feet and pulls up internal sensors to scan the conference room::

Nick:
<Computer> TO: No nova class starships in this sector

XO Cmdr Martin:
<edit: pulls up internal sensors on the console...>

Nick:
ACTION: The XO's scan shows all the guests are gone, including the dead ambassador

TO MJDoole:
TO: Acknowledged.

CMO Lt Burton:
*XO*: I would concur with that sir. Something is definitely not right here.

XO Cmdr Martin:
::frowns and scans to see if there's any trace of the aliens at all, or any evidence of how they disappeared::

Nick:
ACTION: The XO finds nothing

TO MJDoole:
::heavy-hearted and almost a whisper:: *XO*: Scans show no sign of the Nova

XO Cmdr Martin:
*CMO* I'm trying to see if there's any trace left at all....but...::growls and kicks the bottom of the console in frustration:: I'm getting nothing...

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
*XO*: Computer is in input mode. Now might be a good time to initiate you as the Senior Officer in the CoC database. At least until the Captain returns ma'am

Nick:
ACTION: Sensors pick up a Steamrunner class starship entering the system

TO MJDoole:
::slumps backwards and into the Command Chair::

CMO Lt Burton:
*XO*: Sir the room is definitely a lot emptier than is was just a bit ago.

XO Cmdr Martin:
::blinks a few times at the TO's words:: *CTO* ...pardon...?....oh, right...::shakes her head...:: Uh..

Nick:
ACTION: Captain Regnum appears on the main view screen

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::initiates a controlled thruster burn to get the station back on standard axis rotation and declination::

XO Cmdr Martin:
Computer: Computer, Recognize Commander Trial Martin, Acting Captain

TO MJDoole:
::looks up in surprise: Captain Regnum?!

Nick:
<CO_Regnum> COMM: TO: What the devil have you people been doing, the station looks horrible, and why are you sitting in my chair Lieutenant!

CTO LtCmdr Archen:
::notes there is a crease going through the Captain's forehead:: COM: CO: Uhh sir ....

TO MJDoole:
COM: CO: Long Story Captain.

Nick:
<CO_Regnum> COMM: TO: It better be a good one, prepare to receive us.

XO Cmdr Martin:
*CMO* Rouse your MO's Doctor, and round up any wounded on the station to get them treatment.

CMO Lt Burton:
*XO*: Aye sir

Nick:
