ARC 19 - Only the Good Die Young - Mission 8 - SD: 11703.21
Host SMDrew says:
Summary: The Proca computer core is now in science lab two aboard the Claymore.  Ian is working to restore the core for further study.  Meanwhile, the Proca’s crew is in sickbay, undergoing exams and autopsies.  Captain Hawk has signaled he is ready to move the Jarrow over to the station’s shuttle hangar.
Host SMDrew says:
******************** Resume Mission *************************
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
@*CO*:  Captain, I have the Jarrow running.  ::Pauses.::  At least, well enough to take it over to the station, with your permission.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MES_Ens_V'Mehl>  ::scans the aft segment of what appears to be a power transfer conduit, with its interior revealed, now that it's been separated from the impulse engine::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Taps her combadge::  *CAG*: Permission granted, Mr. Hawk.  Proceed
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Arrives via turbolift on the deck where Britec's office is located, hoping to give him the latest update -- although until he gets the results of the computer core and autopsy investigations, he won't have much to relay, this time::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<ACE_LtJG_Secord> ::scanning equivalent conduit from the port side, it being disassembled on the opposite side::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> ::frowns as he scans the impulse engine::
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
@*CO*: Aye, Captain.  Jarrow out.  ::Taps the comm and changes to Claymore operations.::  COM: OPS:  USS Claymore, this is the NX Jarrow.  We are ready to depart Claymore shuttle bay one for the station.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::searching for a juncture point or exterior conduit on the drive, but happens to look up as Southland's expression changes::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
EM: What's wrong, Chief?
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Approaches the office and rings the chime::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::On the bridge of the Claymore, checking in on Stevens' progress with the corpse and other materials she'd brought aboard, from the XO's console::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> ::shakes his head again, studying the tricorder readout carefully::  CEO: Something's not quite right here.
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec> ::Looks up from his desk.::  Outloud:  Enter.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shoots back what may have appeared to be a frown as well::  EM: Care to be more specific?
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> COM: Jarrow: CAG: Departure clearance granted. Once you clear the airlock, contact station control for flight control.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> ::places the tricorder on top of the impulse engine, then taps on the lower quadrant of the engine to his right::  CEO: The tricorder is picking up something in the vicinity of the starboard power converter in the engine.
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
COM: Claymore:  OPS:  Roger that, Claymore.  ::Powers up the thrusters and begins initial departure from shuttlebay one.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Steps through the doors::  Britec:  Hello, DaiMon.  ::Offers a brief, polite smile, but the nature of the investigation forces a quick return to a businesslike demeanor::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> CEO: As it stands right now, I can't detect any energy signatures from it ̶ my guess is that it's not dangerous for us to go in and get it.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> CEO: But..
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  ::Stands.::  XO:  Commander Damrok, always a pleasure.  ::Points to the sofa with a smile.::  Please, Commander, have a seat.  ::Begins moving to the sofa as well.::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
EM: But?
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Moves over to the sofa and waits, standing, until Britec arrives::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The Jarrow departs the shuttlebay one doors and maneuvers slowly out into space toward the station shuttle hangar.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> ::looks Davis directly in the eyes::  CEO: The tricorder's preliminary scan indicates the metal is some 98% tritanium, of Cardassian origin.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::finally finishes his meal, sitting in silence he ponders the options for desert.::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods slowly, his mind quickly beginning to generate possibilities, many of which are not very comfortable to think about::
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
<CAG_Hawk> COM: GHS: STATION_OPS: Galileo Heaven Station, this is the NX Jarrow, requesting docking to shuttle hangar.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
EM: A detonator? Or a trigger to affect the power conversion within the engine?
Host SMDrew says:
<Station_OPS>  COM: Jarrow: CAG:  NX Jarrow, turn to 138.3 and continue in.  You are cleared for dock alpha one, race preparation section.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> ::stretches his arms towards the ceiling, then twists his torso and arms back and forth; it's been a long shift-plus::  CEO: Hard to say based on the readings. I think we need to dig it out to get a better idea.
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  ::Takes a seat on the corner of the sofa.::  XO:  So, Commander, what have you learned?
CAG_Capt_Hawk says:
COM: GHS: STATION_OPS: 138.3 and straight in for shuttlebay alpha one.  NX Jarrow out.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::kneels down for a second, still looking for the juncture point; he runs his hand along the base, finally feeling a single indentation::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Perches on the other arm of the couch::  Britec:  There's not much new to update, unfortunately.  We are moving the Jarrow over to the station imminently, however.  I'm also expecting a report from our operations, engineering, and medical departments regarding the forensic evidence within the next few hours.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::presses the button inside the indentation, and a console immediately reveals itself::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Stands in the turbolift, straightening her uniform.  It was good to get some sleep.::  TL: Bridge
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> ::moves to his right towards Davis, peering over his shoulder at the console::
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  ::Nods listening to Damrok.::  XO:  How do you suggest we spin this to the rest of the station population?
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::presses the console, and it comes alive, though the screen is very dim, and almost burned in a little; it's readable (see-able), but only just::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
EM: Battery powered, I guess.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::The ‘lift doors open onto the bridge.  T'Shara steps out and heads for the center of the bridge and Raeyld.::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The Jarrow enters the station shuttlebay with a brief buff of smoke from the aft port side maneuvering thruster.  Inside the hangar, she turns to port and touches down gently in alpha one shuttle parking.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MO2_LtJG_van Kampen>  ::Ambles out of the restroom in his restaurant and passes back toward the bar, where he had been seated, but spots a fellow crewmember and, after essentially having wandered the station solo for a few days now, changes course slightly::  OPS:  Lieutenant.  How goes?
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Glances over her shoulder as she hears the turbolift doors slide open from behind, and upon recognizing T'Shara, she jumps to her feet, spinning to face the captain:: CO: Captain T'Shara.  ::Nods::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::motions to the console::  EM: See if you can patch your tricorder in and get control ̶ a schematic or something would be nice.
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Warning alarms go off on the operations console and on the tactical console aboard the Claymore.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Half-frowns::  Britec:  ...That's a rough one.  With the damage to the reactor, it would be possible to try to pass it off as mechanical failure...but obviously, I don't think that would be good for business in other ways.  The optics will be poor no matter what you say.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Nods and smiles slightly::  CMO: Commander.  At ease, Doctor.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<ACE_LtJG_Secord> ::strains his neck some as he looks over the power transfer conduit to see what Davis and Southland are into at this point::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Wonders when he became some sort of pseudo-public relations consultant for the station at large, but most of his conversations with Britec seemed to have at least a little of this bent::
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::looks up from the desert selection slowly. It is the look of someone who was enjoying solitude until someone asked him a question. Several silent seconds pass before he says the minimum required:: van Kampen: Fine.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> ::looks at her console, trying to figure out what the alert was::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> ::drags the tricorder off the edge of the engine and to himself, quickly bringing up a peer-to-peer interface, also directing the computer to analyze the signal for language compatibility and remote control capabilities::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Starts to relax, but the alarm going off arrests her attention, and she spins toward the Operations console::
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  ::Rubs his fingers through his jacket lapel.::  XO:  I guess that would work.  I don't like lying to the station population.  It’s normally bad for business.  But for now I think it is our only option.  If we told them someone is out to kill everyone in the race, it would cause a mass exodus.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Her attention averted to operations at the sounds of the alarms::  OPS: Report.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MO2_LtJG_van Kampen>  OPS:  Good, good.  ::Pauses a moment, smiling, then things get awkward and he pats the table a few times, friendly-like::  Well!  Good talking to you.  ::Offers a small salute and turns to head off back toward the bar, wondering why he doesn't just stay in his quarters::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
Britec:  Lesser of several evils, I think.  ::Nods slowly as he speaks::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Glances up from his console immediately in an operations room on the station, looking to Arellano::  TO3:  Alert everyone on security detail.  ::Looks back to the alert::
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::Watches the medical officer depart, then looks down at the options on the menu::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> ::shakes head slightly::  CEO: Not getting anything here. I don't know if there's a way to patch into this. Even if we figure it out, there's no guarantee it will yield anything useful.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::takes a step or two back, viewing the engine as a whole for a moment, then sighs::  EM: I guess we'll have to crack the rest of it open the old-fashioned way then.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> CO: It appears that the Jarrow has arrived on the station with no crew on board.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::taps combadge::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*CO*: Davis to T'Shara.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<TO3_Ens_Arellano>  CTO:  Aye.  ::Taps her combadge and speaks in a relatively hushed tone::  *Security Detail*:  Station security detail, this is Arellano.  We're getting a security ping from Jarrow.  Standby.  ::Looks to Kytides, not getting anything on her console yet::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Raises an eyebrow and looks at Raeyld::  OPS: No crew....   I thought Captain Hawk was on board?
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::looks up again at the departing medic and shakes his head at the options. His hunger had left. He sighed quietly.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Taps her combadge::  *CEO*: T'Shara here, go ahead, Commander.
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  ::Stands again.::  XO:  This race has been a celebration for so many years.  Now it is....  ::Shakes his head.::  I can't cancel this race Commander.  I can beef up security a bit in the hanger,  but the privacy to the racers has always been maintained.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MO1_Lt_Amica>  ::Walks into the restaurant, looking around casually::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Curses under his breath::  TO3:  And get them moving, carefully, to the bay.  Captain Hawk's...missing.  Be wary.  ::Attempts to see if sensors from Claymore or operations station can identify any traps or possible causes::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*CO*: Captain, we've disassembled the power systems to the impulse engine, and we've started to break apart the engine itself.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> CO: Ma'am, he was. Checking the logs. He apparently vanished midflight.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*CO*: Our scans show some object on the inside ̶ most likely Cardassian in origin. We're not sure what it is at this moment ̶ just that it doesn't seem to belong where it is.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<TO3_Ens_Arellano>  ::Blinks a few times in surprise::  *Security Detail*:  Security detail, move on Jarrow  with caution.  We're not picking up Captain Hawk.  Clear and search the area.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MO2_LtJG_van Kampen>  ::Starts to take a drink from his tumbler and glances over his shoulder toward his entrance, then does a spit take::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@*CEO*: Understood, Commander.  Secure that item and get it aboard the Claymore immediately.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*CO*: Acknowledged. 
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
Britec:  It is very unfortunate, but I think it's our only choice.  If we knew the risk and didn't act...something else could happen, and it would be much worse.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@*CEO*: The Jarrow has just landed on the station but we are getting conflicting reports that Hawk is not aboard.  Can you get over there and secure it until security arrives?
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::tries not to look surprised or annoyed or anything ̶ it's so easy sometimes::  *CO*: On my way.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MO2_LtJG_van Kampen>  ::Slowly slides off his stool, thankful he's on the shorter side, and heads back toward the back of the restaurant::  OPS:  Hello again.  ::Smiles, but looks a bit urgent::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
EM: Do what you need to do to get in, Chief.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@OPS: Nobody just disappears.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Taps her combadge::  *CTO*: T'Shara to Lieutenant Kytides
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::looks up, from cleaning his teeth with a small plastic toothpick. He raises an eyebrow silently.  Had he not been clear before about not really wanting to talk to people?::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@CMO: I don't like this, Doctor.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::moves quickly away from the landing area where they've been working for the last twelve hours or so, looking for the Jarrow::
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> CO: Ma'am, however, that is what our sensor logs show.  He was there, and then he was not there.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Shakes her head:: OPS: No signs of damage, transporter activity?
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  ::Nods.::  XO:  So, Commander, is there anything else you need?
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Glances up from screen, seeing nothing so far::  *CO*:  Captain.  Not sure of what happened here, our security personnel are inbound.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MO2_LtJG_van Kampen>  ::Drums his fingers a moment on the table::  OPS:  Please do not be alarmed.  There is a madman at the door, and he wants me to spend the rest of my leave meditating with him.  I am not doing that, so I am now going to hide under your table.  Okay?  Okay.  You don't know me, never saw me.  ::Gets low and starts to crawl::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EM_CPO_Southland> ::moves off to the assortment of tools they've laid out to his left, looking for a mini-spanner::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@*CTO*: Acknowledged.  I've contacted Commander Davis aboard the destroyed shuttle.  He's close to the Jarrow's location I have informed him what happened and asked that he secure the Jarrow until your people arrive.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> CMO: I don't see anything from here.  ::Attempts to access the Jarrow's interal sensor logs::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::finally sees the Jarrow, pulling his tricorder out out of habit and scanning it for lifeforms::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CO: Permission to join Commander Davis, look for any biological signs.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::looks at the medic and speaks in a very straightforward manner:: van Kampen: You are an adult. If you don't want to do something tell him that you don't want to do it.  I don't want you to disturb my digestion.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::moves to the Jarrow, approaching the hatch::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@CMO: Permission granted Doctor.  Keep me posted.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@CMO: Be careful Raeyld.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MO2_LtJG_van Kampen>  OPS:  Too late.  Condescend at someone else.  ::Starts under, then pokes his head out::  You won't know I'm here.  ::Shuffles and virtually disappears, rather astonishingly, but he is small and stealthy::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Nods:: CO: Yes, Captain.   OPS: Site-to-site transport.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@<OPS_PO1_Cawney> ::nods:: CMO: Energizing.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::keeps an eye on his tricorder as he approaches, which tells him the hatch is secured as it should be in standard flight operations::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MO1_Lt_Amica>  ::Moves into the restaurant a few steps, peering around unobtrusively, still a fair distance from the back::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::goes to type an override in, but pauses for a moment, wondering if he should suspect foul play, and perhaps a gruesome butt injury or some other mishap if he should board the Jarrow on his own::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem>  ::Arrives at the bay with a team, a little wide-eyed that it happened so fast, and sets them to set up guard, taking a tricorder out and moving toward Davis::  CEO:  Sir.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
TO2: Ensign--what's the plan here?
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Clears her throat as she materializes beside Davis::
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::stands quietly, and tugs at his lime green and orange tunic. He taps the console on the table to pay his bill, speaking in a firm voice he says:: van Kampen: I'm leaving, Lieutenant, if you want to stay under there you'll have to pay for your own meal.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::hears the buzz of the transporter and looks to Raeyld, then back to Senezem...then frowns for a moment in confusion::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem>  ::Blinks, never quite comfortable at plans, or people materializing in the middle of conversations::  CEO:  Any sign of traps or environmental dangers inside, Sir?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks back over to the conn and takes a seat in her chair.  Taps a button on the arm rest and enters some data into a log.::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shakes head, figuring he'd run into the only non-gung ho, wannabe killer tactical officer in the fleet::  TO2: Nothing I can detect so far. The hatch is secured as it normally would be coming out of flight.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MO2_LtJG_van Kampen>  ::In a harsh whisper::  OPS:  Enjoy.  Good luck.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at Raeyld for a moment, then enters the override codes into his tricorder for the Jarrow hatch::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Briefly meets the glance, looks toward Senezem, then quietly takes out her tricorder, opening and calibrating it::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::can't help but feel a little grim and a lot of worry; he re-enters the override codes::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem>  ::Takes a breath and signals another security officer to join him, drawing phaser just in case::  CEO:  Then, unto the breach then, and all that.  ::Waits, poised, while override codes are entered...and entered again, looking to Davis::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The door reluctantly unlocks and slides open.... half way...
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::steps up, trying to push the door at least a little more so a human other than Raeyld can enter::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem> ::Grimaces and puts his tricorder up, helping Davis in the attempt::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The door opens fully with the help from Davis and Senezem.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::wastes no time, moving into the Jarrow proper::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Draws her phaser in her free hand, and follows Davis into the Jarrow::
Host SMDrew says:
SCENE:  The interior of the Jarrow is trashed from a torpedo attack several months ago.  There is no signs of Hawk.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem>  ::Moves in with the other security personnel, staying out of the higher officer’s  ̶  with far more experience in broken shuttles and disappeared officers than himself, hopefully  ̶  way::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::scratches head::
Host SMDrew says:
SCENE:  All the Jarrow consoles are locked down and most of the power is offline. There is a smell of sulfur in the Jarrow’s cabin, but nothing more.
Host SMDrew says:
