CEO_McDowell says:
::yawning as he walks down a corridor towards one of the last repair teams::
CNS_Wells says:
::Still in Science Lab 1 with the others. We have just discovered a scroll::
SO_Randall says:
::looks at the computer readout of the translated text::
CIV_Pierce says:
::mumbles as she reads the translated text::
CNS_Wells says:
::Reads it but, it is unclear::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::is at tactical ready to tap into helm control if Mikan slips up on his orbital calculations::
CO_Shras says:
:: sitting in the command chair ::
SO_Randall says:
ALL: Why are these scrolls always so cryptic?
CNS_Wells says:
:: Looking over her shoulder:: CIV: You know what the translation means?
CEO_McDowell says:
::rounds the corner, letting his arms swing with the weight of the repair toolkit he's carrying... Deck 10, Section 21-L... ODN Routing and Preprocessing::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, status remains normal on all scans, except I still cannot detect the planet on sensors.
CIV_Pierce says:
CNS: It almost sounds like the Green Providence is the Excalibur of the Chinese.
SO_Randall says:
::sighs::
SO_Randall says:
CIV: Did Excalibur have super powers?
CNS_Wells says:
CIV: I like that.  Although, I wish I could figure out the connection between the dust on the vase and the dust on the planet.
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Can you post security crew to viewports to help?
CNS_Wells says:
SO: Excalibur did have strong magical properties.
CIV_Pierce says:
CNS: Right.
CO_Shras says:
ALL: All senior staff report to the alpine lounge for briefing in five minutes
CIV_Pierce says:
SO/CNS: Now that I think about it, Arthur was also killed while Excalibur was in his possession...
CNS_Wells says:
SO/CIV: I believe there to be a strange magic at work here too
CO_Shras says:
*CIV*: You are asked to assist to the senior staff meeting in the lounge in five minutes
CEO_McDowell says:
::enters the room... to see PO Uzilam, his top FTL Computing Specialist, managing a group of four other engineers and eight security converts::
SO_Randall says:
::hears the Captain::
CIV_Pierce says:
*CO*: Aye, aye sir.
FCO_Mikan says:
::acknowledges the announcement and heads for the lounge::
CNS_Wells says:
CIV: We better find out about it sooner rather than later.
SO_Randall says:
ALL: I guess will be swapping notes.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::sends a detachment of security to get a good view of the planet and report on a regular basis:: Sir, might we try a class II sensor probe at a low orbit in order to help boost our sensor scans?
CEO_McDowell says:
::breathes a sigh of relief - a repair team that's knows exactly what the problems are and what has to be done, even the security people. It's exactly what he needed to see after the past two days::
EO_Valentine says:
::looks up:: Self: Briefing! Briefing! ::hops into a JT hatch::
SO_Randall says:
::exits the science lab and heads for the lounge::
CNS_Wells says:
::Follows others out for meeting::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Makes sure to secure the room before she leaves::
FCO_Mikan says:
::enters the lounge and looks about::
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Go with the probe, then move to the lounge
CO_Shras says:
:: gets up and walk to the Alpine Lounge ::
CNS_Wells says:
::Walks with CIV::
SO_Randall says:
::Enters the lounge and sits down on a chair::
FCO_Mikan says:
::takes a seat at a large table::
EO_Valentine says:
::hops out of the JT hatch into the Lounge and looks around::
CEO_McDowell says:
::lets head slump as he hears the Captain's chime... gives a slight chuckle of surrender... Nods to the female PO, and walks out as quickly as he came in::
SO_Randall says:
::looks at the FCO::
CEO_McDowell says:
::walks down to a turbolift:: Lounge...
FCO_Mikan says:
::flicks his ears and looks back at the SO::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Aye, sir. Launching probe now. ::using the same orbital calculations keyed into the helm, then goes to the lounge::
SO_Randall says:
::nods his head in the direction of the FCO and turns his head as he spots the EO exit from the Jefferies tube hatch::
CIV_Pierce says:
::While in the TL:: CNS: Arthur had Sir Bedivere throw Excalibur back to the Lady of the Lake.  Maybe the Green Providence has remained lost somewhere too.
EO_Valentine says:
::looks around:: FCO: Big Kitty!! ::runs toward him with her arms open::
CEO_McDowell says:
::closes eyes for a moment as the lift buzzes its way around::
CNS_Wells says:
CIV: And wants to be returned "home"?
CNS_Wells says:
::Gulps::
CEO_McDowell says:
::huffs a sigh as he exits and walks down the corridor towards the lounge entrance::
FCO_Mikan says:
::sees Mai and grins:: EO: Mai. How are you?
CIV_Pierce says:
CNS: Or is waiting for the next person destined to wield it.  ::Glances at him thoughtfully::
EO_Valentine says:
::gives him a hug:: FCO: Mai is okay. Big kitty okay?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::walks into the lounge noticing Mikan and Mai meet each other, remembering the discussion from before::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Exits the TL and makes her way to the briefing room::
SO_Randall says:
::watches as the senior staff enter the lounge::
FCO_Mikan says:
::picks her up in his arms and sets her down in the chair next to him:: EO: I am fine.
CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Hmmmmmm. ::Enters meeting and finds an empty seat::
CO_Shras says:
:: wait for the officers to assemble in the lounge ::
EO_Valentine says:
::giggles:: FCO: You want some soda? ::offers him a can::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::thinks: they truly are like brother and sister...::
CEO_McDowell says:
::enters the lounge, walks around the table to his seat... sits down in it, nearly sinks into the chair. First time he's sat down in two shifts::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Takes the seat next to Wells::
CNS_Wells says:
::Is a bit nervous as this is his first big senior staff meeting::
FCO_Mikan says:
EO: Soda? I am not familiar with it. ::sniffs the can and looks at it then at Mai with a quizzical expression:: EO: How do I....?
EO_Valentine says:
::opens the can and offers it to him:: FCO: Silly kitty.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::almost sits where the XO would normally sit, but respectfully takes the next available seat over::
CNS_Wells says:
::Is scared by the odd sound Mai's can makes::
FCO_Mikan says:
::sniffs the can and sneezes as the bubbles hit his nose:: EO: You drink this?
CEO_McDowell says:
::picks up the PADD in front of him and taps at it idly, glancing at the data::
EO_Valentine says:
::eats a Twinkie and nods at him::
CO_Shras says:
:: clear his voice to get everyone’s attention ::
SO_Randall says:
::looks up at the captain::
EO_Valentine says:
::looks up, wiping the Twinkie cream from her face::
CEO_McDowell says:
::raises head from the PADD::
FCO_Mikan says:
::tilts the can and licks the liquid as it comes out spilling some on the floor:: EO: This is very sweet.
FCO_Mikan says:
::looks at the Captain::
CO_Shras says:
ALL: We are here at last; we are orbiting the Mberayal fourth planet
CIV_Pierce says:
::Scoots her chair a little closer to the table::
CNS_Wells says:
::Listens and waits for the Captain to speak::
FCO_Mikan says:
::sets the can down on the table and pushes it towards the EO::
CO_Shras says:
ALL: We should be able to investigate the site of discovery of the artifact and maybe more
CTO_Kizlev says:
::faces the captain, his antennae going this way and that::
CO_Shras says:
ALL: On the other hand we apparently have suffered from multiple malfunctions related with our last damages
EO_Valentine says:
::picks up the can and slurps some::
CO_Shras says:
CEO: What is our current status?
CNS_Wells says:
::Listens for McDowell's report::
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: The whole department is running double shifts. There are 38 teams across the ship working on various issues, including the reassigned security personnel.
CO_Shras says:
CEO: When can we expect the major systems to be back up?
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: It is hard to give an ETA for repairs. The minor issues are easy. The major ones, especially structural errors, may take longer. Computing resources should be available within the next four hours.
CO_Shras says:
CEO: I'll want a complete list of damaged systems and estimated repair times
CO_Shras says:
CTO: What is our status on your side?
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: My teams are still running without the assistance of the diagnostics systems.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Security reports all is normal. I have dispatched available personnel to aid in the engineering efforts. The probe has also just established low orbit around the fourth M'Berayal planet.
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The Geneva hits the atmosphere and is going down towards the planet.
CO_Shras says:
FCO: Can we maintain ourselves on high orbit for long?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::is shaken in his seat from the atmospheric sheer::
SO_Randall says:
::falls out of his seat::
CEO_McDowell says:
::feels rumbling... moans:: Not again...
CIV_Pierce says:
::Falls backwards out of her chair::
CNS_Wells says:
::Falls to the ground::
FCO_Mikan says:
::feels the slight vibration as the ship skims the atmosphere:: CO: Sir, I believe that I should get back to the helm I believe our orbit is decaying.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::rises to his feet, barely managing his balance, holding onto the table::
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: Systems on the ship start to go offline.
CO_Shras says:
ALL: To your stations!
EO_Valentine says:
::giggles and rolls across the floor::
CO_Shras says:
:: Heads for the bridge ::
CO_Shras says:
FCO: What about our orbit?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::stumbles through the vibration to his station::
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Give me those systems back, now!
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The lights start to flicker and many of the consoles are not accepting commands.
CNS_Wells says:
::Gets up quickly offering to assist the CIV up:: CIV: Let me help you, ::Offers hand::
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: It looks like we are losing our high orbit ::gets up and runs to the JT to get to the bridge not waiting for the slow or maybe not even working TL::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Takes Wells' hand and stands up:: CNS: Thank you.
CEO_McDowell says:
::jogs out of the room back towards Engineering, not taking a moment to tell the Captain to buzz off, much less a simple "aye sir"::
CNS_Wells says:
CIV: You secured the vase right? ::He says to her with a smile::
EO_Valentine says:
::trots after the CEO:: CEO: Boss! Wait!
CIV_Pierce says:
CNS: And the scroll, yes.
CNS_Wells says:
CIV: That is good. 
CEO_McDowell says:
::turns around:: EO: Get to the Engineering Computer Core... Begin a forced system reset from the protected backup.
EO_Valentine says:
::salutes:: CEO: Yes sir! ::gallops past him::
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: Some members of the crew are having problems interacting with each other.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::gets to the bridge and take a tight hold onto the sides of his console:: CO: I show minor hull buckling on decks 12 and 13. Attempting to compensate with available power to the SIF.
CEO_McDowell says:
::turns back around to the turbolift::
FCO_Mikan says:
::arrives on the bridge and takes the helm and begins to adjust for the decaying orbit firing thrusters::
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The FCO's attempts at maintaining the orbit are unsuccessful as the helm console is not accepting commands.
CEO_McDowell says:
::gets in and suddenly wishes the turbolift would go faster::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::is unable to get command functions to work on his console:: Self: Not a good time for this.
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The ship continues to descent rapidly.
CO_Shras says:
:: arrives on the bridge with most of the senior officers ::
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: ,u vpmdp;r od mpy trd[pmdohm Vs[ysom/
EO_Valentine says:
::hops into ME and looks around at the consoles::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Works at science on the bridge::
CO_Shras says:
FCO: get us out of orbit!
FCO_Mikan says:
::doesn't understand the CO::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Looks up astonished at the CO and FCO::
CEO_McDowell says:
::runs in, pointing to engineers as he goes (three humans, a Vulcan, and a Bolian):: You all, come with me... upstairs!
FCO_Mikan says:
::continues to try to get his console working:: CO: zo s, ytuomh yp hry ,u vpmdp;r eptlomh Vs[ysom/ zoy odm
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The Geneva is getting closer to the ground.
CEO_McDowell says:
::stops on the ladder as he sees the Vulcan and Bolian staring at him blankly:: What??? Get moving now! We need to reset the ODN path to thruster control and navigation!!!
CIV_Pierce says:
CO: Say again sir?
CNS_Wells says:
::After discover the frustration of loosing communication abilities with the CIV he can’t understand any one::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::is amazed why Mikan is speaking in gibberish now:: CO: The universal translator must be down. ::sees Geneva's proximity to the surface:: Collision is immanent!
FCO_Mikan says:
::activates Blue Alert and pilots the ship downward toward the planet's surface::
CO_Shras says:
:: doesn't understand the crew anymore, except the Andorians ::
Host Bob (Blue Alert.wav)
EO_Valentine says:
::types quickly at her console::
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The helm console accepts the FCO's commands at the last minute.
CO_Shras says:
:: hears the blue alert and sit in his chair ::
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The ship lands safely.
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The entire ship goes offline.
CNS_Wells says:
*CEO*: Mr. McDowell if my figuring is right you should be able to understand me.
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Apparently our FCO cannot get us up so he is landing us...::
CEO_McDowell says:
::gets to the top deck, still not figuring what's with his non-human staff::
SO_Randall says:
::standing at the science console::
CO_Shras says:
:: sitting in complete dark ::
FCO_Mikan says:
::takes a deep breath and lets it out slow:: CO: Dpttu dot/ zo fof yjr nrdy zo vpi;f/
CIV_Pierce says:
::Immediately fumbles for a flashlight as all power goes out::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::holds on as tightly as possible... at least this time, he's around for the crash::
CEO_McDowell says:
::feels the ship land... softly, thankfully, then all lights and consoles go dead... the core reactions slow to a halt::
CNS_Wells says:
*CEO*: It appears we are landing.  Should we be concerned that we are landing on a planet with undetectability properties?
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The CIV finds a flashlight, but to her dismay it doesn't work.
CEO_McDowell says:
::blinks, incredulous:: *CNS*: Counselor, I'm an engineer, not a scientist!
EO_Valentine says:
::slides her goggles on and turns them on::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Smacks the light against her hand multiple times:: All: Someone didn't replace the batteries!
CNS_Wells says:
*CEO*: Sorry, Sir. I know you must be busy.
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Dot. z;ogr di[[pty od mpy eptlomh/ zo dihhrdy er ;rsbr yjr djo[ yo;; yjr Vjorg vsm ,slr tr[sotd/
CO_Shras says:
CTO: We must find a way to communicate with each other and restore minimal power
CIV_Pierce says:
::Hopes the FCO can see in the dark::
SO_Randall says:
ALL: Hello? Anyone there?
SO_Randall says:
::moves his hands in front of him::
CIV_Pierce says:
SO: Randall, is that you?  ::Looks for another flashlight::
CEO_McDowell says:
Human staff: Total systems failure... Emergency systems procedure 5. You know your duties. Go!
SO_Randall says:
CIV: Pierce? I have a flashlight in hand, but it's not working.
CNS_Wells says:
::Taps on console and sends CO's console information on Universal Sign Language::
CNS_Wells says:
::There is also a method using pictures::
CEO_McDowell says:
::trying to tap on console, getting nothing::
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The Counselor's attempts are futile as nothing on the ship is online.
CNS_Wells says:
::Just trying to help but, probably isn't::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: First, we need to be able to find our way through the dark, sir. ::gingerly moves his hands to his phaser box below his console and feel around for a wrist light::
CIV_Pierce says:
SO: Neither is mine... ::Stops looking and stands slowly:: The emergency lights aren't on either...
EO_Valentine says:
::trots down to the computer core, trying to figure out what's wrong::
CNS_Wells says:
::Discovers tech troubles with consoles.... gives up::
SO_Randall says:
::hears something else in the background::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Has a hunch, then starts looking for a tricorder::
FCO_Mikan says:
::eyes begin to adjust to the dark and can see a few feet ahead::
SO_Randall says:
CIV: I think I hear Lieutenant Mikan's voice. But I don't know what he's saying.
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Maybe Lieutenant Mikan can move around like a cat and you and I can perceive more accurately than humans were people are around us but there is the problem of moving around objects....
SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The CIV finds a tricorder, but it is not functional.
CNS_Wells says:
::Decides to leave bridge and check on the safety of the vase::
FCO_Mikan says:
::moves to the Captain's side and touches his arm slightly to get his attention:: CO: Dot. er mrrf yp vjrvl yjr rcyrtopt pg yjr djo[/
CEO_McDowell says:
::can't get any response from any computer console... nothing::
CEO_McDowell says:
*EO*: Where is my computer???
CIV_Pierce says:
::Puts the tricorder down:: SO: I don't think any of our technology is going to work... If we want light, we need to start a fire or go outside.
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO*: Mai is working on it boss.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::feels what might be a wrist light, and checks for power, but gets none:: CO: Try to envision the layout of your ship sir. We'll have to do this most carefully. ::starts to walk forward slowly::
CNS_Wells says:
::Finds vase safe in Science Lab 1::
CO_Shras says:
:: feels someone touching him but cannot understand a word of what is being said ::
FCO_Mikan says:
::moves to an exterior hatch and thinks about opening it for a second then hesitates since he is not sure of the atmosphere. Turns and heads to the locker room to get an eva suit::
CEO_McDowell says:
::sits down in a chair... slumps... no computer, no way to safely reset any systems, especially the warp core::
SO_Randall says:
::eyes adjust to the darkness and barely sees some light under the Captain's Ready Room door::
CIV_Pierce says:
CO: Sir, permission to enter your ready room?
CNS_Wells says:
::Stays with the vase::
FCO_Mikan says:
::dons an eva suit and heads for an exterior hatch::
CEO_McDowell says:
*Engineering Staff*: Staff, perform as much manual diagnostics and continue repair as you can. We apparently have no computers available, and we're on emergency power.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::thinks he cannot go wrong if he calls out names, as they are almost universal in pronunciation:: FCO: Mikan? Where are you Ronik Mikan?
CEO_McDowell says:
::has no idea if the Captain will understand this:: *CO*: Captain, I highly suggest Emergency Power Conservation Protocols immediately.
CIV_Pierce says:
::Shrugs, CO can't understand her anyway, then stumbles to the RR doors::
CNS_Wells says:
::Alone in the dark with the pottery::
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Do you remember that code we saw at the Academy that the humans used in the past?
SO_Randall says:
::trips and falls at the feet of the CIV::
FCO_Mikan says:
::hears his name and moves next to the CTO:: CTO: z;ryd idr rbs dioyd/
SO_Randall says:
ALL: Oof.
CNS_Wells says:
::Sits up on the table next to it and ponders the scrolls meaning::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Trips over the SO who tripped in front of her::  All: Oww!
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: The one involving those odd taps? Dashes and dots? Vaguely, sir.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::gets to the rail behind the CO's seat::
SO_Randall says:
CIV: Sorry.
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Good, because I don't so you'll be my voice!
SO_Randall says:
::stands up::
EO_Valentine says:
::gets an idea and trots down to the Shuttlebay::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Pulls herself up:: SO: Yeah, me too.  Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
CO_Shras says:
CTO: We must have people here open the doors to my ready room and the conference room so we can have some light
SO_Randall says:
CIV: Party in the Ready Room?
CEO_McDowell says:
::gives up... none of his non-human staff can understand him, nothing is online... props head up by his hand, with an elbow resting on a dead console::
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Can you tap it?
FCO_Mikan says:
::nudges the CTO and taps his arm gesturing about his EVA suit::
EO_Valentine says:
CEO: Boss, Mai has an idea!
CIV_Pierce says:
SO: Bingo!
CTO_Kizlev says:
::thinks long and carefully how Morse code translated, then turns around and barely sees Mikan:: FCO: Ah, Mr. Mikan. CO: I will try sir.
CIV_Pierce says:
::Fumbles to the door::
FCO_Mikan says:
::knowing that all the systems are off and the air is getting thin since there is no life support tries again to emphasize his eva suit::
FCO_Mikan says:
::grabs the CTO by the shoulders to get his attention::
SO_Randall says:
::tries to push open the door::
CEO_McDowell says:
Human staff: Take as much of the department as you can find along the way to Deck 15. Exit the ship through the ventral hull access ways. I'll join you when I can.
CIV_Pierce says:
::Tries to pry the door open::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::gestures with his hand for FCO to follow him to the RR door::
CEO_McDowell says:
::walks out of Engineering, cautiously walking his way towards a Jeffries Tube access hatch::
FCO_Mikan says:
::follows the CTO::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::carefully moves to the far wall, and guides himself with a hand along the wall to the RR door and then feels for the center divide in the door::
