USS GENEVA MISSION TRANSCRIPT – 10405.28

e_SO_Randall says:
10405.28 - With the power offline throughout the entire ship, there was no power going to the anti-matter containment field coils. The Chief Engineer managed to avoid a major catastrophe with the help of some of his Engineering staff. With hard work and determination, the Engineers managed to jury-rig some portable power units directly to the containment field coils thereby maintaining the integrity of the containment field. However, this is only a temporary solution. In approximately 6 hour’s time, the portable power units would be drained completely, destabilize the containment fields, and the ship would explode. The ship remains off-line. The entire crew is on the bridge. Most of the crew is having a problem communicating with other species. Some crewmembers are attempting to open the door to the Captain's Ready Room.

e_SO_Randall says:
ACTION: Everyone is on the bridge.
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Pulls at the RR door::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::is next to the ready room door, attempting to pry it open with bare hands, but is finding it to be a struggle, and motions for Mikan to help him out::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::leaning against the Bridge railing, trying to clear his head... broken nose, bumped his head at least three times climbing up to the Bridge...::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
Aloud: Ngh! CIV: I don't suppose you understand Andorian dialect, ma'am?
e_SO_Randall says:
::touching someone on the head::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Stops working on the door for a second:: CTO: Hey!  Don't get that tone with me!
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Has returned from Science Lab 1. He is holding the vase and scroll.  He thought it would be needed to further the investigation seeing as how we might not be able to get back on board.  But could be wrong and about to be yelled at::
e_SO_Randall says:
::bumps his head on someone's elbow::
e_SO_Randall says:
ALL: Ow!
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Listens to all the confused chatter::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::his alien language smooth and flowing, yet sounding confused:: CIV: I'm sorry. Wait... you know what I just said?
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::said to no one in particular:: No matter what anyone says, this is not my fault... And this isn't caused from the damage...
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::staring at all the babbling, convinced he got hit on the head too many times::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
SO: Ensign, get yourself together!  This door needs to be pulled at.
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::wishes he understood her own tone and words, hoping that it was recognition in her voice::
e_CNS_Wells says:
CEO: I believe you Sir. ::Is unsure what to do::
e_SO_Randall says:
CIV: Pulled? To the left or right?
e_CEO_McDowell says:
CIV: You do know there is the hydraulic pump in the bulkhead to the right, right?
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head:: CIV: Never mind. No way for either of us to know anyways. ::goes back to tugging at the door, wishing he kept up with his Terran language classes in school::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
CTO: I can sense that you're confused.  However, you can't understand me and I can't understand you so this is basically a moot point.
e_CIV_Pierce says:
CEO: A what?
e_SO_Randall says:
::takes two steps back and trips over the steps::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
CIV: The manual hydraulic pump...
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Holds the vase close to his chest.  Waits for someone to make an exit::
e_SO_Randall says:
::falls back and lands on his behind::
a_CO_Shras says:
:: sitting in his chair, trying to think of a way to get of this mess ::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::pulls at the RR inseam as hard as he can 'till his fingers go numb, and gets it to separate maybe a few centimeters::
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Is sure to stay out of everybody's way::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Isn't all too bright when it comes to the ship's hardware, but goes and looks for the pump anyway::
e_SO_Randall says:
ACTION: Light pours through the tiny slit between the doors.
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::stops and catches his breath after this first sign of progress, shaking his hands from the strain::
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Sees light::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::sighs as he sees the CIV struggling still... walks down the stairs carefully:: CIV: Here... ::points to the indented plate on the bulkhead. Pries it off, and starts pulling at the pump handle::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::motioning to the doorway:: CO: It's a start, sir.
e_SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The door opens.
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Now can see figures of people to go with the strange talk::
e_SO_Randall says:
ACTION: Light from the Ready Room illuminates the bridge.
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::squints his eyes from the sudden light::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
All: What a nifty tool.  ::Squints as the light floods in::
e_SO_Randall says:
::stands up and brushes himself off::
a_CO_Shras says:
CTO: Let me give you a hand with this....
a_CO_Shras says:
:: walks to the CTO and help him with opening the door ::
e_SO_Randall says:
::slowly walks into the Ready Room and looks outside the window::
e_SO_Randall says:
::jaw drops::
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Sees the Captain in his chair.  Would go to him but, language barrier would only make it worse for him::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::squints at the blazing light::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::lets the captain enter his ready room first, then follows in right behind him::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Takes one step into the RR and allows her eyes to adjust to the light::
e_SO_Randall says:
ACTION: Looking out the Ready Room window, the crew find themselves sitting on top of a mountain ledge. Further out they see a thick white cloud spread out along the plane of the ledge like a cotton duvet on top of a bed. Leafy green rounded tree tops are penetrating the cloud and the wind is slowly rustling the leaves from side to side.
e_SO_Randall says:
ACTION: A deer-like creature trots by and bends down to eat the furtile grass growing on the ledge. The deer looks into the window at the crew and runs away on a path that apparently leads down the mountain.
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::eyes dilate as they adjust to the light... gets another headache in the process, to add on top of the throbbing from his bruised forehead and nose::
e_SO_Randall says:
ACTION: Besides the path, there is a small waterfall. Large quantities of water are cascading and free falling down towards a pool of white water creating a spray of mist from the point of impact. Further out from the point of impact, the white water settles and turns clear and serene.
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Class M environment if ever there was one. I wish I knew of our altitude, let alone if the atmosphere is safe for us.
e_SO_Randall says:
ALL: So what now? ::looking at everyone in the Ready Room::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::looks out on the scenery:: All: Something tells me we all shouldn't lean forward at the same time. It might tip the ship...
a_CO_Shras says:
CTO: My first question is how I get this crew to work on my command without the universal translator?
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Follows the others into the brightly lit Ready Room, carrying the artifacts.  The view from the window is quite beautiful::::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::turns and stares blankly at the CTO and CO emitting odd clicking and shrill sounds::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
CNS: Oh, you got the vase and scroll.
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Wonders how much oxygen is left in the ship::
e_SO_Randall says:
CNS: Super! We might need those.
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: If only I had a working PADD. Something to write text messages with.
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Yes, I did. I hope that was Ok? I just thought...
e_SO_Randall says:
::walks up to the CO::
e_SO_Randall says:
::points to himself and then outside::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: More importantly, we need a way off this ship. If power is completely lost, we have only hours as life support is down.
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: ...but, then again I probably shouldn't have...
e_CIV_Pierce says:
CNS: Better here then left alone in the dark in Science Lab 1, I say.
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Sorry, I babble when I get worried.
a_CO_Shras says:
CTO: We'll do it the hard way, going down the ladders...
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Smiles reassuringly:: CNS: Then stop worrying so much.
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::wonders what the SO is up to:: CO: Sir, I think he needs your attention. ::nods to the SO::
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: I'll try, Ma'am. ::Tries to smile::
e_SO_Randall says:
::points to the escape pod::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: The pod could launch itself, assuming its independent power system isn't down either.
e_SO_Randall says:
::walks over to the wall and opens a panel in the wall.::
a_CO_Shras says:
CTO: We'll only need it to pop out of the way....
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::goes over to the hatch as well:: CO: Sure. The manual release should do it. Given how close the primary hull is to the ground, it shouldn't be much of a drop.
e_SO_Randall says:
::pulls on the hydraulic pump::
e_SO_Randall says:
ACTION: The pod is released from its clamps, but remains in the doorway.
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Watches the crew::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
CNS: Even if this escape pod plan works, we have to get the rest of the crew out too.
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::staring in disbelief at what the others are doing::
e_SO_Randall says:
::starts pushing on the pod::
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Yes, that is true.  I should think.
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Only two can leave. Who shall it be sir?
e_SO_Randall says:
::pushes the pod away from the opening and exits onto the saucer section::
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: What are they doing with the escape pod? Shouldn't we be crawling in a Jeffries tube or down a ladder, or something?
e_SO_Randall says:
::inhales the air::
e_SO_Randall says:
::peaks back inside::
e_SO_Randall says:
ALL: C'mon, it's great out here.
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Looks surprised:: CNS: It worked.
e_SO_Randall says:
::waves them out::
a_CO_Shras says:
CTO: Not in the pod, just make the emergency fire mechanisms push the pod out of the way so we can get out of the ship
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::overhears the CNS & CIV... Shrugs in disbelief... staring at the two Andorians::
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: I guess we should exit?
e_CNS_Wells says:
CEO: Sir? 
e_SO_Randall says:
::looks around and breathes in::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::is caught dumbfounded about the fire mechanism, but decides to have his head checked another time and crawls out for a look::
e_SO_Randall says:
::looks as the crew slowly crawls out of the hole::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Nods and takes a step out::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
CNS: Never mind... ::motions to let them out onto the hull::
e_SO_Randall says:
::walks off the saucer section and onto the grass::
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Carefully makes his way out after the others carefully protecting the pottery::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::follows the SO onto the grass, scrutinizing this wondrous place::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Walks onto the saucer, then goes to the CO and taps him on the shoulder::
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Outside he notices how nice it is here.  He walks gently down the sloping outer hull of the saucer section::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::stands out on the hull, looking around, mind still filled with thoughts on why the ship completely lost all systems, and how to restore it... mind wanders... ::
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: It's not often you see the ship from this point of view, huh?
a_CO_Shras says:
:: looks at the CIV ::
e_SO_Randall says:
ACTION: A mystery man, dressed in a white cloak jumps down from the sky.
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: I don’t think he will be able to understand you?
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::puts a hand to the side of his uniform, realizing he didn't equip his small tanto blade today:: Self: Great, totally unarmed.
Mystery_Man says:
::lands on his feet in front of the SO and knocks him down::
e_SO_Randall says:
::falls down::
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Is startled by the man and nearly drops the crock::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Tries to communicate, using gestures and pointing, that the rest of the crew is still in the ship::
Mystery_Man says:
::looks at the CTO and is able to draw his sword but sees that he's unarmed::
Mystery_Man says:
::elbows the CTO in the face::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::sees the white man come out of nowhere, from the skies, and is outright convinced beyond a doubt now that he's imagining things... Closes eyes and holds his forehead hoping that he just has some concussion or something::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::rolling with the hit, gets low into a defensive stance, waiting for the next strike::
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: I bet Mai, with her knowledge of the ins and outs of that ship could scout it out and lead folks out. I don't suppose that is a good idea.
Mystery_Man says:
::jumps up into the air... 1 meter... 2 meters... begins to descend and lands in front of the CO::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
CNS: If she's willing, that's probably the best option.
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Sees a fight and steps back... not wanting the vase damaged, of course::
Mystery_Man says:
::jumps up into the air and sends a back kick in the direction of the CO's chest::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::spins around and runs after the attacker:: CO: Stand guard, captain!
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: You should ask her.
a_CO_Shras says:
:: doesn't understand the CIV gestures... ::
Mystery_Man says:
::sees the CTO coming after him and launches himself off the CO's chest and at the CTO::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::comes charging, but sees the kick and dives low to avoid it, then brings himself up for a side long chop::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
All: Anyone else convinced yet that we all just hit our heads a little too hard and this is all some dream from a brain hemorrhage or something?
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Grabs the CO's arm to prevent him from falling backward::
Mystery_Man says:
::gets hit in the side with a chop and is pushed back::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
CEO: Funny, I've felt that way since I arrived on this ship...
a_CO_Shras says:
CTO: What is that!
Mystery_Man says:
::takes a couple of steps to recover and strikes the CTO on the leg with his sheathed sword::
e_CNS_Wells says:
CEO: This definitely ain't Kansas.
Mystery_Man says:
::somersaults over the CTO and lands in front of the CEO::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Steadies the CO, then approaches the mystery man, surely he wouldn't strike her:: Man: HEY!
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::folds arms and gives a glaring "What do you want?" look::
Mystery_Man says:
::grabs the CIV and swings her in the direction of the CTO and sends a palm into the CEO's nose::
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Thinks - how rude::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
Mystery Man: So! It seems even a master like you have a weakness. ::gets hit on the leg with the scabbard, and turns around:: Man: Enough! Leave them alone. You wish a fight, then focus on your real threat.
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::doubles backward, hearing his broken nose crack, sending a sharp twinge of pain, enough to tunnel his vision::
Mystery_Man says:
::does a flip and lands in front of the CNS and is about to strike...::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::catches the CIV, and sets her aside, coming at the Man again::
e_CNS_Wells says:
MM: Hey, back off. ::Protects vase::
Mystery_Man says:
::notices the Counselor is protecting a green vase::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::Sees the man pause:: CTO: Wait!
e_CNS_Wells says:
MM: Easy there big fella.
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::slowly gets back up:: Unacceptable... This is ridiculous... ::storms across the hull behind the whoever-he-is, grabbing him by the collarbone at the base of the neck, swinging his leg in between the man's two knees to trip him...:
e_EO_Valentine says:
::leaps onto the MM and wraps her arms and legs around him, biting him on the ear::
Mystery_Man says:
::turns to the CTO::
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Backs up::
a_Mystery_Man says:
CTO: You speak Andorian.
a_Mystery_Man says:
::moves his body and frees himself of the CEO's grasp::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::comes running up, going for an attack, but stops abruptly, hearing his language:: Man: That I do. Tell me why you attack us here!
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::sends a sharp right elbow in the man's upper chest as he writhes free::
a_Mystery_Man says:
CTO: Tell ME, what you are doing in the possession of that vase. ::points to the vase the CNS is protecting::
e_EO_Valentine says:
::bites the MM's ear harder and growls::
a_Mystery_Man says:
::takes the blow from the CEO and clutches his chest::
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Doesn't like being pointed at::
a_Mystery_Man says:
::looks at the CEO::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::for once, actually likes what his assistant is doing, having a snack off the person's ear...::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
CEO: Sir, desist! Man: Please do not retaliate. He is only answering in kind to what you did to him.
e_CIV_Pierce says:
::clears her throat:: EO: Mai... I think you can stop biting for now.
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::ignores the incomprehensible (and downright ear-splitting) screeching of the CTO::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
Man: Attack us no more, and you will know the truth from me.
e_CNS_Wells says:
CEO: Hit him again, Sir.
e_EO_Valentine says:
::looks at the CIV:: CIV: Nya?
e_SO_Randall says:
ACTION: Although the EO bit into the Mystery Man's ear fairly deep. She didn't draw any blood.
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::holds a hand up to the others, as if trying to say "stop"::
e_CIV_Pierce says:
EO: If he attacks us again, I promise you can bite him again.  In fact, I'll get the other ear.
a_Mystery_Man says:
CTO: As you have noticed I have stopped. I do not recognize their tongue.
e_CEO_McDowell says:
CNS: No... Much as I want to. The elbow was payback.
e_EO_Valentine says:
::lets go of the MM and drops to the ground, pulls out a Twinkie and starts eating::
e_CNS_Wells says:
CEO: Aye, Sir. And a good one., too.
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::clutching at his face, having a hard time bearing the pain of his nose... drizzling blood now at a decent trickle::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
Man: You puzzle me with the fact that you are adept with the language of Andor. You appear human.
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Wonders why the Chinese guy speaks Andorian::
e_EO_Valentine says:
::looks up at the CEO and offers him her hankie::
a_Mystery_Man says:
CTO: What are you doing with that vase?
e_CNS_Wells says:
::Backs up more::
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::nods, takes the cloth, and stuffs part of it up his one nostril... painfully... it slowly starts to soak::
e_EO_Valentine says:
::rolls onto her back and stares up at the sky::
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
Man: It was found by scientists near to this system.
a_Mystery_Man says:
CTO: Scientists?
e_CIV_Pierce says:
CNS: No sudden movements Counselor.  Just keep holding on to that vase.
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::motions to the captain:: Man: This is my commanding officer, Captain Shras. Please speak to him. He is of my race as well.
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: My grasp is firm on it to be sure. That guy ain't getting my vase.
e_CEO_McDowell says:
::in a nasally voice, since the handkerchief is stuffed up his nose:: All: Anyone ever take a class in Blue Head Screech that can tell the rest of us what is going on?
a_Mystery_Man says:
::clasps his hands together::
a_Mystery_Man says:
CO: Captain.
a_Mystery_Man says:
::bows::
e_CNS_Wells says:
CIV: ...I mean "the" vase.
a_Mystery_Man says:
CO: My name is Li Soong Chan.
a_CTO_Kizlev says:
::notices Chan's sword, now truly intrigued with this strange person, despite the pain from the elbow strike::
