:: In one of the lower decks of the ship, helping to relocate people away from the forward sections of the Quirinus ::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: inputs the data that the captain has given him for the simulation::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::On another deck helping coordinate the evac of the decks to be emptied.::
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: at engineering figuring out what essentials systems must remain on ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::stands next to Twelk:: Twelk: If we use the deflector dish to fire gravitons at the weakest point in the Well's vortex...we can try to collapse a part of the well. If correct, it will perhaps make the well unstable causing it to collapse.
TO_Lt_Loran says:
:: Standing watch on the Bridge, once again. Doesn't this ship have any other tactical officers? ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: The question is: do we have enough power to cause the collapse?
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: taps a few bottoms in order that engines, shields and the deflector dish have all the energy, all others systems must be at stand by ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Goes through her list:: MO_Ruby: We are missing the extra antiseptic and band aids. See if you can locate them.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: It is a good theory Captain however with out enough power it is useless. Hopefully we can also conect all the fusion reactors to the deflector dish with out blowing it and the rest of the ship up in the process?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Nods as the missing items are found.:: MO_Ruby: Add it to the rest. And... I believe that is it.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*CO*: Havaris to Captain Sulek, evac of the requested decks at 50% at last report ::She says after consulting a PADD
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
*CO*: Captain, I have some medical supplies for their emergency center. Ready to beam down.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: We will probably get only one shot at this before we blow the dish.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain I could use the chief's help in figuring the power connections.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Havaris*: Understood.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Azhure*: Understood.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Clearing of the decks continues.::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
*CO*: Any specific time you want us back?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks at Twelk:: *Azhure*: We should finish the simulation in another 30 minutes to an hour before we put ourselves in the path of the storm. Is this enough time?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
*CO*: For what we can do at this point, yes.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: What if we increase the odds by detonating quantum torpedoes in these four quadrants. The wave should give us structural weakness even further.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Evac report sent to the bridge, at 75%::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Azhure*: See you then. Will be in contact if situation changes.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: As he sees a family struggling to carry personal effects, he shakes his head, but he decides to pitch in a hand and help carry ::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Wishes more people could be put into the turbolifts, starts pushing along the stragglers..::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Helping as needed.::
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: leaves engineering in order to go to the bridge ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
*CO*: Acknowledged. :: Steps onto the transporter pad with Ruby.::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
*CSec*: Bill, we are heading down now. We will be back as soon as we must.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Sounds like a plan Captain. Let me input the data and we can run this simulation. :: inputs the data about the quantum torpedoes in and get ready to run the simulation::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Powers*: What is our complement of quantum torpedoes?
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Last of the stragglers in her section gets on the turbolifts, Havaris does a visual and sensor sweep to double check.::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
*CO*: Sorry, captain, I don't have that figure. Why don't you ask someone from the tactical department?
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: arrives to the bridge and takes his console ::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks the inventory list for quantum torpedoes::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
On: Progress on the power shift?
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Reports her sections clear to the bridge and gets on the TL:: *Cosec*: Havaris to Powers, are your sections clear?
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CO: Aye; Captain. All the power is now at the essential systems like engines, shields and deflector dish; the rest of the power is at stand by
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
*XO*: Just about, Commander. Another couple minutes to round up the stragglers. We might want to run a quick internal scan to make sure there's no one hiding.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
TO: How many quantum torpedoes do we have.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*Cosec*: Acknowledged. I'll report to the bridge. Havaris out.
TO_Lt_Loran says:
CO: Current loadout is fourteen, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*Ops*: Havaris to Ops. Few more minutes will see full clearance. Can you do a full internal sensor check, make sure we've gotten everyone?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Assuming her husband must have his hand full and can contact her on the planet, she nods to the transporter chief.:: TC: Same location as the last shipment.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Again he goes through the picture in his head. It wasn't the alien using the planet to collapse the well.. it was about controlling the planets gravity to destabilize the well. If he were correct, that would explain the climate change on the planet noted in the drawings. If he were wrong...he was about to possibly rip the ship apart::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*XO*: Roger it will take just a couple of minutes to run Stand by.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Loran: We may need to use them.
TO_Lt_Loran says:
CO: Are you sure that's wise, Captain?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: hears the TO's report:: CO: Captain that should make some difference. I am ready to run the simulation.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Loran: Wisdom may have nothing to do with it.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: Understood. Let me know when it is complete.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*XO*: I am reading all clear Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*OPS*: Thank you OPS, heading up. Havaris out.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: starts the simulation and sees what happens::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*Cosec*: Havaris to Powers, Ops reports all clear. When ready you can return to post.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: As the transporter releases her and her small team, they turn to great the surgeon on duty.::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Gets into TL and heads for the bridge.::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
*XO*: Aye, Commander. :: Says nothing aloud, but mutters to himself about someone else tapping into his internal security sensors ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moves down to the chair
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*Cosec*: Acknowledged. Havaris out.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Arrives on the bridge.::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Assisting with the supplies, she moves off with the doctor, talking about one of his patients.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: continues to watch as the simulation runs::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: How's it going Sir?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Havaris: Running a simulation that could tear the ship apart but perhaps save billions of lives. If this works remind me not to leave the way to fix this in a pictograph covering magnetic records.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks the reading that he got from the first run and runs it again to see if they are the same::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he looks at the XO with a dead serious face::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Ah Yes Sir. Has the CEO gotten the risk assessment for the ship done yet?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: After checking on the temporary bunking, Powers heads for the security office ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Havaris: I do not know. ::he looks back at On:: you could ask him.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Aye Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CEO: Under the CO's new plan have you completed the ship risk assessment?
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Checks her readouts on her console as she talks to CEO.::
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
XO: As I explain to the Captain earlier all the essentials systems are green like shields, engines and deflector dish, all other system are at stand by
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CEO: So we have reasonable chance to survive?
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Reviews the data.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Havaris: Although if the simulation works, we may be putting all nonessential personnel on to the planet for later evacuation and taking the ship in regardless of the threat.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Reasonable precaution Sir.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: finishes the second run of the simulation and is not real happy about it:: CO: Captain I have finished the simulations and have good news and bad news about it. While it shows a weakening of the well in both simulation it also show a change of position in both. However it could either move away from the planets or towards one of them.
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
XO: As I made some calculation, we have a 23% to the destroy the ship and 67% of a major damage into the ship
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: In his office, they go over a few of the special items they had brought.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Or it could not make any changes in its path at all; can't really be sure what will happen.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: Then we need more power to make sure it collapses. ::he ponders the problem::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CEO: Thank you Commander. ::She says turning her attention to the Ops and CO.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Well Captain unless you can pull some more power out of your hat I can't think of any place else we can get any.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: There is the antimatter core which would have to be beamed into the well immediately after we fired everything we have.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO/OPS/CEO: What about the shuttles and the like can we pull from them in some way?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Looks up as Ruby comes in.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: And what are you going to use to run the engines to get us out once it is gone?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
XO: I have all the shuttles power cores hooked into the system as it is.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Nods at ops.::
TO_Lt_Loran says:
:: Trying not to listen in, but is becoming quite concerned with this plan ::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Loran: Do you think we can use the torpedoes?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@:: Looks up as someone almost stumbles into the office, gasping and bent over.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks at Havaris: Havaris: And runabouts our warp capable...we have a secondary antimatter source. As well as a means to bombard with more gravitons from more than one source. We remote the shuttles.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
XO: Just so you know we are using all the quantum torpedoes in this simulation.
MO_Ruby says:
@:: Turns to quickly help the woman. Pausing she looks down.:: CNS: Counselor, pregnant and her water has broken.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
OPS: Well what about the kitchen sink? There's got to be some power somewhere..::Looks thoughtful...::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Pushing away from the desk, she goes to help Ruby as the doctor directs them to a rough and ready room with other patients.::
TO_Lt_Loran says:
:: Glances between the CO and the XO :: XO: The vessel is probably capable of firing them all at once...
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain what if we send the runabouts in before we hit it with the deflector dish. :: starts reconfiguring the simulation with the runabouts sent in first::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Helping to lay her down, she reaches for the medical tricorder to scan her while Ruby gets her settled.::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Loran: I see. Already calibrated for most effective pattern?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Loran: We fire all torpedoes followed by shuttles and bringing the ship with everything else last.
TO_Lt_Loran says:
XO: No one gave me that order, Commander.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Notes the look of envy on the doctor's face. Steps closer to show him the results. Quietly they discuss the possibility of a breach::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Loran: I see. Thank you. ::Glances at CO questioningly.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Havaris: I believe he is waiting to see what the simulation reveals before setting up any pattern for firing.
TO_Lt_Loran says:
:: Tries not to glare at the infuriatingly passive Captain ::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: I understand Sir. I just thought having some idea of preliminary firing solutions may help. If we could take the information we have so far, perhaps Loran could start his calculations?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: finishes the set up and runs the simulation with the new data::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: They discuss the standard procedure for a breach and prepare for it.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Well captain this is a little better. According to the simulation the well is almost destroyed. However there is a 37% chance that it will reform as an even bigger well. Some kind of harmonic resonance is responsible.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Seeing the woman is relatively comfortable, she calls Ruby over and they fill her in.::
Denalis says:
@CNS: Oh my baby! My baby! It hurts now!
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Also I can't tell if it will turn to one of the planets or away from them.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: Can we send out an alternating frequency to counter act the harmonic effect?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Looks over to the woman:: Denalis: We understand... I need you to try and relax, take deep breaths. And try not to push.
MO_Ruby says:
@ :: Goes to get the supplies needed.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: We can try Captain however I am not sure if the communications array would do it.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he looks at Havaris and then the rest of the bridge crew:: Loran: Set up a firing resolution according to the simulation.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Havaris: Evacuate all nonessential personnel to the planet.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Twelk: Notify the recue fleet our intentions.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Moves to sit down beside the woman. The doctors knew what more to do.::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Aye Sir.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
All: It is time.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*Powers*: Havaris to Powers, Captain has ordered all non-essential personnel to the planet. Will need security assistance to keep the evac running smoothly.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Starts to organizing the evac.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Flyer: Lay in course and get ready to engage as soon as all personnel are clear.
