The Stars Go Over the Lonely Ocean - Mission 5 - 11205.22
Host SMDrew says:
Summary:  After the seismic tremors under the station Commander Reynolds asked the away team to take one of the subs out and examine the exterior of the station.  On the Claymore the crew has a communication probe ready for launch and continues to examine the situation from orbit.
Host SMDrew says:
*********************** Resume Mission *************************
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sitting in the Ready Room, she exhales resignedly, then pushes back from the desk, standing to her feet::
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
@::Enters Science Lab 1 with Doctor Gradle.::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#TO:  Ensign, what is our estimated time to completion?
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Strides out of the Ready Room, exiting out onto the bridge:: MOPS: Mr. Gulash, I'm heading down to the Jarrow. You have the bridge.
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::on the Jarrow seated at the rear, leaning back and forth between the Engineering and Operations panels:: *TC_CPO_Butler*: Are the modifications ready?
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  CMO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Calls for relief and looks around the bridge, seeing mostly scrubs at this point::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#::At the ops station on the sub monitoring the data feed from their scans to the station.::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ :: Nods to the holo-engineer at the final check.  Then watches him vanish.::  Tech: D'Kar, Sean, looks like we are good here.  Thanks.  And keep checking through what we have, perhaps there is some answer we missed.
Host Doctor_Gradle says:
@ ::Enters Science Lab 1 behind Reynolds and looks around::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Looks over the scan results again, looking to see how much more of the station they have to check::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
<TC_CPO_Butler> ::in cargo bay one at the large cargo transporter running her hands over the transporter controls boosting the confinement and overlaying the decontamination sweep from before.:: *OPS* Nearly.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ OPS:  I am as ready as I can be in the time given... you about ready?
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods once, confident in Gulash at the helm, as it were...:: MOPS: Very good.  ::Strides to the back of the bridge, entering the turbolift:: TL: Flight Deck.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#CTO:  We seem to have checked everything, Sir.
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
@ Gradle: What should we start with Doctor?
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Rides the lift in silence, not at any point leaning against a lift wall::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
<SEC_CPO_Chandler>  ::Seated at the rear of the Jarrow, waiting for some sign of when they'll be able to transport::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
$::flipping a few switches preparing the Jarrow for a transport into flight:: CSO: Nearly, ::he unconsciously repeats Butler.::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Steps out of the lift and walks quickly to the nearest supply locker, grabbing a kit::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#TO:  Thank you.  CNS:  Counselor, please contact the station to determine whether there are any further instructions.  ::Asks Hawk for full stop and station keeping::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ *CMO*: Doc, we are about ready to go.  Lieutenant Fong is finishing up something.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Hits her commbadge, as she double-checks the supplies, then hand-adds a couple items:: *CSO*: Acknowledged.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#::Nods to Damrok::  COM: Station Ops: We've completed our scans of the station awaiting further instructions.
Host Doctor_Gradle says:
@Reynolds: What systems do we have available and that are online at the moment?
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ :: Takes a seat at flight and begins systems check for start.::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Nods to Damrok, and while waiting for any extra orders, watches the scans for another quake to keep busy::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Exits the supply locker and moves down the corridor, stepping through a doorway and striding across the flight deck toward the Jarrow::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::Settles into the big chair, used to taking the conn during away missions due to T'Shara's persistent absence::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
$::flips a final switch and nods:: *TC_CPO_Butler* Ready?
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
@<Station_OPS>: COM: Explorer 1: CNS: Explorer one we have reviewed your data.  Can you attempt to contact our team inside science 2.  Internal comms are not working at this time.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ :: Reaches over and taps a few commands, looking at the readings.::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
<TC_CPO_Butler> *OPS* Ready for transport.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Steps up to the Jarrow and climbs the ramp to its interior, not even pausing as she triggers the controls to close the doors, movingly quickly and without hesitation to the conn::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
$::Nods:: CSO: Ready to beam out once departure clearance is given.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ :: Turns to look at the doc, her eyes narrowing.::  CMO:  Doc?  A problem?
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
@::Tapping a few buttons on one of the consoles.::  Gradle:  Not much.  It looks like we can try to access the stations computer and run system wide diagnostics.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#::Receives the message from the station and turns to Damrok::  CTO:  Commander they have been unable to contact their team inside of Science Lab 2 and request that we try and contact them.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ :: Glances at Fong and back to Raeyld::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#CNS:  Acknowledged.  Thank you, Counselor.  ::Orders Mister Hawk to take them around toward science two for closer observation::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
$::Drops into the pilot's seat, her fingers brushing the controls liltingly even as her seat swivels into position:: ::Matter-of-factly, as she swiftly works through the pre-flight sequences:: CSO: Not unless you've found one.  ::Taps a control:: *Bridge*: Jarrow to Bridge. Pre-flight procedures complete. Jarrow requesting clearance to depart.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
$<TO2_Ens_Senezem> ::Looks up from his seat next to Chandler as the acting Captain enters, but notices the look toward her from Senn and looks down, deciding to pretend he just didn't see anything at all::
Host Doctor_Gradle says:
@::Looks down at the console::  Reynolds: That's a start.  ::smiles::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#COMM: Station Ops:  We are moving to attempt contact with your team, will keep you updated.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
$<SEC_CPO_Chandler>  ::Settles back in his seat, comfortable for the time being...looks over at the much-younger ensign, Senezem, and sizes him up a moment::
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
@<Station_OPS>: COM: Explorer 1: CNS: Acknowledged Explorer One.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ :: Reaches over and hits the hold button.::  CMO: No, you are not to go.  I am a capable pilot if that is the issue.  Sky may hold one over me, but not by much.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#::Watches out the forward glass as Hawk maneuvers the craft toward science bay two::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ CMO:  You are in command of the ship and until that changes, you are to remain aboard and guard her, not go on uncertain assignments.
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
@ Gradle:  If you can bring up the internal sensors, I'll bring up the computer to begin diagnostics.
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
@::Runs his hands over more consoles.::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Turns his scanning attention back toward Lab 2, just in case something comes up during communications::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
$::Simply, and undefensively, but without hesitation:: CSO: I am in command of this ship and crew, and this is the decision I have made, as the one in command. I am breaking no regulations. Feel free to file a report. ::Taps another comm button::  *TC*: Confirming coordinates.  ::Works at preparing her flight plan according to the beam-in site::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  *CMO*:  Commander, this is the bridge.  Operations has issued clearance to depart.
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
$::watches Raeyld walk to the pilot's seat and listens to the CSO's disagreement.  He says nothing, simply pulling the communications ear bud from its drawer::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ :: Grabs the back of the chair::  CMO:  Do I need to remind you that with both of us gone, ALL command officers are not to be off ship?  And you want to go?  That is highly illogical not to mention not responsible.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#CNS:  Begin trying to hail the lab, Counselor.  I'm not sure if you'll be successful...but perhaps they've got a portable comm unit.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#TO:  Full scans of the lab, if you haven't already.  ::Sits forward a bit in his chair and peers out as they round on the station::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Blinks, and pauses for a moment to think::  CTO:  Aye, Sir.  ...Sir, for some reason there's only one person still in Lab 2 now.
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
<aOPS_LtJg_Kendal> ::checks with the status of the Transporter Chief and nods confirmation at Gulash::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#TO:  And there were supposed to be...how many?  ::Begins trying to figure out a way to get them out of the lab if there's a difficulty::
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
#ACTION:  As Ensign Kytides reports his findings Explorer One goes dark.  All systems go off-line...
Host Doctor_Gradle says:
@::Walks over to another console nearby and begins tapping buttons.  With several commands she attempts to bring up the internal sensors::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#COMM:  Science Team:  This is explorer one to the team in Science Lab 2.
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
#ACTION:  Ensigns Foster's message does not go through as all systems are offline inside the subabout.  <Subabout copy write 2012 by Aaron>
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
$::Continues to manage the multiple commlines, switching between as necessary while finalizing the flight plan:: *MOPS*: Acknowledged.   *MOPS/aOPS*: Flight plan transmitting.   ::Glances briefly to Senn, with a hint of a smile:: CSO: Good thing I never claimed to be Vulcan, then.  *TC*: Jarrow to Butler, we are go to transport.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ :: steps away::  CMO:  Fine... then as one of us must stay behind, I shall do so.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
$ :: Moves to the hatch, opens it and steps out.::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
$::Without missing a beat, as she prepares for flight:: *TC*: Belay that. *CSO*: Commander Senn, you are hereby ordered to return to the Jarrow, or report to the brig for violation of direct orders.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: At the bottom of the ramp, turns around::  CMO:  I will keep in touch as long as I can.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Looks up at the loss of power, giving a long, quiet breath to calm down before answering Damrok's question as if they weren't dead in the water of an earthquake zone::  CTO:  I think...three, Sir.  At least, the last time we scanned.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#All:  What happened?  Did anyone get an error report before the systems went offline?
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#TO:  Understood.  Try to find a hand beacon.  ::Takes out his tricorder and flips it open::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
CMO:  Fine...  :: turns to head for the brig.::  I can catch up on some work.
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
#ACTION:  The sub begins to slowly descend.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Nods, glancing out the window for a moment and taking another breath, while moving out of his chair and using his tricorder for lighting to search for one::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
*SO Keysar*:  Keysar, Senn, I will be in the brig if you need anything.  For now, head to the bridge and keep an eye on the planet.  Report anything that happens to the Jarrow.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
*CSO/aCSO*: Chief Keysar, report to the Jarrow immediately.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#::Begins scanning inside the craft for any source of power drain or systems failure::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#::Glances out the front window as the sub begins to descend,  Then turns in his chair checking the compartment next to his console looking for a flashlight.::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
$<TO2_Ens_Senezem> ::Twiddles his thumbs together, very carefully staring at the floor in front of him::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: As she makes her way to the brig, she pulls out a padd and begins to right a quick report..::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
$<SEC_CPO_Chandler>  ::Clears his throat, running his hand along the inside of his collar once...he's been in firefights, but there's nothing quite so uncomfortable as a present disagreement among the brass::
SO_Keysar says:
:: Looks confused at Torran at the mixed commands.::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
$::watches the CSO leave and deadpans:: CMO: Beam in altitude will be 11000 meters AGL. Maximum fall time is 47 seconds. Wind calm, weather clear.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
*SO Keysar*:  Go with her and see if you can keep her out of trouble.  :: there is an unmistakable bite to her words.::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#::Finds a tricorder in the compartment and flips it open doing a scan of the sub.::
SO_Keysar says:
:: Having a basic idea of what was going on and making some implied inferences, grabs a kit and heads for the Jarrow.::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#All:  My tricorder is picking up an object attached to the bottom of the sub...it may be the source of the power drain.  Look around for an emergency comm unit.  ::Tries to get a fix on the object::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Opens an emergency panel shuffles through it before pulling out a hand beacon::  CTO:  Found one, Sir.  A beacon, that is.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
*CMO*:  You may disobey protocol when someone is in danger... I grant that craziness.  But I will not submit to you leaving this ship with all command staff below.  If nothing else, if something goes wrong, one of us will be here.
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
<TC_CPO_Butler> ::waits with her hand now on the transport button.
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
#ACTION:  The Sub begins to lean to port as it continues to descend deeper.
SO_Keysar says:
:: moving swiftly he makes his way::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Arriving at the brig, she walks into one of the cells and takes a seat::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
$<TO2_Ens_Senezem> ::Glances toward Chandler at the noise of his throat clearing, then quickly back to the floor, deciding such awkwardness would only be worse if someone acknowledged it existed::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#CTO:  We will need to do something soon, life support is offline including the backups.
SO_Keysar says:
:: Arriving at the shuttle bay, he makes his way up the ramp to the Jarrow.  There is nothing accommodating in his eyes as he moves to the science station.::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Contacts Sov-masu, their oceanographer to take over science on the bridge.::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#CNS:  If that's so, and the object attached to the hull is causing the power drain, we have little choice.  We'll have to get to the dry suits and try to find a way to remove it...or abandon the subabout altogether.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#CTO:  Should I try to signal the station first, Sir?
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
*CSO*: Commander, all the command staff is not below. Ensign V'et, Lieutenant Williams, and Ensign Mariner, just of the senior staff, are still available on the Claymore, if not immediately on the bridge. Lieutenant Gulash has overseen the bridge in countless situations just as this one.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
*CSO*: There is no apparently greater risk between the Claymore and Jarrow, excepting the unusual challenge this situation presents in piloting the Jarrow in these conditions. As it happens, I have extensively trained in piloting the Jarrow, in addition to many, many hours of small craft flight time, both on the record and off.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
*CSO*: I spent the past hour agonizing over the decision as to whether to pilot the Jarrow myself, or send Lieutenant Agraktis, as he has the next best credentials in this vessel class.  This is the decision I have come to.  You may return and support this mission, or wait in the brig in protest, doing nothing to support the mission.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#TO:  By all means.  ::Retrieves a hand beacon and shines it toward the back of the craft, looking over the inventory of equipment::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
*CSO*: It is entirely your choice...although I sincerely hope you choose the former. However, we will be departing within ten minutes.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
*CMO*: And so do I, Commander.  Unless you have an extraordinary reason for this decision,  I shall "cool my heels" in the brig.  I would also remind you, that with the CTO off ship, I currently stand as acting first officer.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
*CSO*: Not from the brig.   ::Without closing the comm, she turns to Fong:: OPS: Do we have EVA suits aboard?
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#CTO:  I can help with that.  I was an engineer once, might come in handy.  I've done alot of space walks, can't be too different underwater, ::Mutters to himself.::  I think.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Moves back into his seat to brace himself just in case the submarine continues to turn, and starts using the light to signal SOS toward the station in morse code::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::With her preflight and flight plan done, she swivels the chair to face the rest of the compartment:: SO: Welcome, Chief. Make yourself familiar with the equipment list Commander Senn brought aboard, as well as the mission brief. ::Pulls a PADD from her pocket and tosses it to Keysar:: We'll be departing momentarily.
Host Doctor_Gradle says:
@::With the tap of a few more buttons the internal sensors are online::
SO_Keysar says:
:: With Klingon reflexes, he snatches the padd and turns away to read through it.::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::saying nothing but what is required, he checks the inventory list and turns back speaking simply:: CMO: Yes. we have five EVA suits aboard.  I also loaded 2 aquatic dry suits
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#::Moves to the back of the sub to look over the gear with the CTO::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
$::Nods::   ::Simply:: *TC*: We are ready to go.
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
<TC_CPO_Butler> ::energizes::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Continues signaling while the others look through the submarine, leaning forward to peer toward the station in case someone notices and manages a response::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#CNS:  Very good.  We should all go...no sense in leaving anyone on board when our transport seems to be literally dead in the water.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#TO:  Any response, yet?
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
#ACTION:  Explorer One continues to pitch to port.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Continues peering out for a moment more, bracing himself in his seat with his legs before shaking his head::  CTO:  No, Sir.  They don't appear to have seen it.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#All:  Let's start suiting up.  ::Grabs hold of one of the suits and starts putting it on::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#::Braces himself as the sub rolls farther to port as he begins grab the gear and starts suiting up.::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#TO:  That would seem to be our only reasonable option... ::As he sits to pull on boots, he tries to see whether his tricorder has range for a data link with the command center on the station::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#All:  Unless anyone else has any suggestions.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
#::Holsters the tricorder once he understands the futility of it, and resumes hastily suiting up::
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
ACTION:  The Jarrow disappears from the Claymore.....  Moments pass....
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Lurches to his feet and drops the light into the next seat, giving the station one more hard glance before moving back to put on a suit as well::
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
ACTION:  More time passes suspended in transporter nothingness.....
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
#::Does his best to stay standing as he gets dressed, the rolling of the sub making it difficult.::
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
ACTION:  With a thud the Jarrow materializes on the far side of Onduldelle.  Systems are offline.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
$::Blinks, as systems flicker away beneath her fingers::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
#::Comes to a very careful stop at the back and starts putting on a suit quickly to make up for lost time::
Host Cmdr_Reynolds says:
