Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 11303.22

Previously on DS102 - The USS Scorpius has begun the process of trying to figure out what happened to the fleet of ships that were destroyed. The alien computer core has finally started to yield its secrets to the USS Scorpius Science team. Let us rejoin our erstwhile crew and find out what will happen next.

FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::sitting at the helm trying to keep the ship stationary::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::On Bridge, attempting to bridge the last few blockages between our Computer and the Alien one.::
AOPS_Shister says:
::making adjustments to the communication array trying different wave lengths and bandwidths on all channels::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::manning secondary tactical::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Captain, so far I'm not seeing any signs that the unknown computer system will affect ours negatively. Once the porta-pack makes interface I'm going to use it as a go between so we don't need to disconnect and can get right at the computer files.
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
CSO: Good. Go right to the tactical sensor logs and possible the CO log. Communications log will be useful too.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Aye Sir. I was going to access most recent sensor logs to try and get an image and then search said image in the ship identification protocols. Assuming they have a ship identification protocol...
AOPS_Shister says:
CSO: Yes, and communication protocols, if there are any. Frequency and the like… ::pauses:: please? ::smiling::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::helping to get the people settled as they are released from sickbay::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
aOPS: Certainly. As soon as the systems merge all these should be easy. I'll forward their communication protocols and such.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::does the proper adjustments on tactical system to allow the CSO to proceed::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::returns to sickbay::
AOPS_Shister says:
CSO: Thanks you. :: thinking such a nice lady::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::notices another patient beginning to wake up::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Initiates a Blunken interface to overcome the most recent blockage.:: aOPS: This is the first time doing this kind of procedure for real. A lot more on the line than in Academy Club contests.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<Patient> CNS: Where are we?
AOPS_Shister says:
CSO: I am sure you can handle it just fine. With hands like those you can't mess up.
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
AOPS: How are the medical teams doing down there? Any reports of problems?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::hears him and walks over:: Patient: You are on the USS Scorpius, do you remember what happened?
AOPS_Shister says:
CO: I haven’t gotten any reports from any of the medical teams with any problems.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: If there is any way I can assist you, just let me know.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<Patient> CNS: Yes... did any of the fleet…
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
*SC*: Captain, we have a patient that is able to speak with us and tell us what happened.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: Yes sir, it's just a matter of letting the systems find some sort of compromise and, where they can't, to do a software bypass. In a way it's like letting the Universal Translator work, but the languages are a bit more complex.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CNS*: That's good news indeed, Commander. I'm on my way
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<Patient> CNS: Our fleet had gathered for a last stand
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
*SC* Understood. 
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Captain, permission to leave Bridge. Commander Rand has found a survivor that is seemingly able to talk about what happened. I will go to assist her in the inquiry.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
Patient: Who were you facing?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<Patient> The C'thia. They are an aggressor species from closer to the core of the galaxy. 
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Starts a more active view of the program, trying to see ahead of the problems forming.:: Self: It's not like looking at a gravimetric field, not even close.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::moves to the nearest turbolift doors::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
Patient: You should be safe now
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Self: Hey, that might work. ::Looks at the untranslated data, looking for any patterns similar to gravimetric patterns. In theory, those data packets should be sensor data, giving the computer a bit more to work with in translation.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the turbolift and directs it accordingly::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<Patient> CNS: No, they have a weapon that shreds energy shields. They used them to destroy us.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::feels the turbolift come to an stop and rushes out of it as soon as the doors open::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Computer: OK, I think I'm getting this. Run a Florkion Decryption pattern on the area I'm labeling "Sensor Data", using current sensor data of this section of space as a translation goal on what seems the most recent.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<Patient> CNS: The C'thia used these weapons to destroy the entire C'thon fleet
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Self: If this is sensor data, the most recent scans should match to where we are, at least in terms of ambient thermal, graviton, and photo-electric field readings.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the Sickbay and heads to CNS location::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Computer: Wait, lines 810 and column 261, pull them up and match them to...area 1 AU out, heading 352 mark 37. I think it's the same area being scanned.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::notices the Captain: SC: Captain Marek, this is the patient that I was telling you about. 
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: ::nods back::
Host T`Challa says:
::nods to SC::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Computer: Use these readings as a "match point", translate the rest of the data points in this packet using this as a starting point.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: He was just telling me what happened. From what I understand ::watches for confirmation:: the C'thia attacked his people, the C'thon, fleet. They were completely destroyed by a weapon that was able to punch through their shields.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
T'Challa/CNS: I'm sorry to hear that you had to endure such a traumatic experience. May I ask if you know the reason for this attack?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: I may have something going here, sir. I think I found something to use as a Translation guide. A sensor reading matching one of our own. Should be enough for the Computer to get a grip on their syntax...if I'm right in interpreting the raw data in such a foreign format.
Host T`Challa says:
SC: The C'thia are a most hostile race, sir. Our enemy is ancient. As far as I know, we have hated each other since time began.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
T'Challa: So, now that hate has escalated to an open war between your two cultures?
CO_Capt_YoGhi says:
CSO: Excellent
Host T`Challa says:
SC: This war has lasted for 43 generations, sir. 
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: If it works, we should have sensor readings of the last battle within a few minutes. Log translations probably close on its heels. Of course if I'm wrong we'll have gibberish in a few minutes, Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
T'Challa: Very well. Were you able to indicate us the exact location of both or your fleets? ::sounds naive:: I must inform you that we have an strict policy of neutrality in cases of war or civil wars. I'm asking you this just to avoid future and possible unnecessary... err... clashes...
Host T`Challa says:
SC: I can give you strategic information from our perspective. I admit it is limited.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Computer: OK, let's see if we can bring up the last images the scanners took first. Should be the battle, might give us an idea who did such damage.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: Anything you can tell us would be very valuable.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Commander, can this man go to Conference Room 1 in order to continue this conversation?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: I have some news, Captain. We better proceed with caution; otherwise we will be involved in a major and ancient conflict. One survivor will give us some more detailed information. I'm taking him to Conference Room 1.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::looks over the controls and wonders what to do during off-shift hours::
