Mission Summary 10702.08 -=- The Sharikahr is hurtling toward a rogue moon, with 3 minutes to impact, and just in case the crew survive that 3 minute countdown, we're 6 minutes away from auto-destruct that the system is refusing to shut down, and there's no sign of the Space Ninjas who have vanished without a trace

<<<<<<<<<< Resume "Boom" - Part III >>>>>>>>>>

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::hurrying towards engineering with the ACO and AXO following closely::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::In ME waiting to see if the computer accepts his authorization codes::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Running as fast as she can towards the shuttle bay.::

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::following behind the CMO:: AXO: What's everyone's status?

Host Computer says:
CEO: Authorization Denied, Access to the Auto-Destruct sequence restricted to Admiral Narensi

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::slams open the hatch to engineering:: All: We're here.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Entering the empty bay, she seals the door behind her.::

Host Computer says:
ALL: Warning, proximity alert, 3 minutes until impact.

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::climbs out of the hatch and into ME::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
ACO: Let me see, scared, scared, and oh scared to death. What did you expect ::shakes her head with a bit of a laugh::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::climbs out behind::

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
AXO:  Smartass... ::smiles at her attempt to lighten the situation::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Steps into the small glass office and secures that door.::

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
CEO: What's your status?

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
self: Fascinating.  ::Attempts to activate Z axis thrusters forcing the ship to drop below the moon::

ACTION: Thrusters unresponsive as the ODN data conduit has been severed.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
ACO: I have just learned something rather interesting.  The self destruct is restricted to Admiral Narensi.

CSO So`tsoh says:
~~~~ aXO: I am about to open the shuttle bay doors.  The force of the air exploding outwards should be enough to alter our course~~~~~ ::She hoped.::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
ACO: Better than being a dumb one sir. ::smiles then gets serious::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
ACO: I've just gotten a message from the CSO. She is opening the shuttlebay doors in an attempt to alter our course using the explosive decompression.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::folds his arms across his chest and watches casually::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Hits the emergency button to explode the doors outward.::

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
AXO: Let's cross our fingers...

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Begins to re-write the voice authorization files to mask the ACO's as Admiral Narensi's::

Host Computer says:
All: Warning, 2 minutes till impact

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::sees the CMO standing idly:: CMO: Any suggestions, Lieutenant?

ACTION: The shuttlebay is explosively decompressed, the air rushes out fast and causes the ship to lurch downward

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
ACO: If this works you will have access to the self destruct sequence by fooling the computer into thinking that you are the Admiral.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
ACO: Hold on tight.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::grabs the wall::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::falls as the ship lurches::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Grabs onto the control panel::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Finds herself suddenly weightless for a moment before being slammed down to the floor.::

ACTION: Sensors show the Sharikahr will now just miss the moon

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::grabs on to something, anything::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
Self: Well, sickbay is a mess now.

ACTION: The ship continues to hurtle in the general direction of the moon, it's shields are sure to bump into the moon's atmosphere in less then a minute.

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::looks at the sensors as she gets back up:: ACO: She did it! We will miss the moon!

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Reroutes the command code sequencers through an artificial matrix and back into the command subroutines::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::takes another look:: ACO: Almost anyway.

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::watches over the CEO's shoulder, smiling at his quick thinking::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Pulls herself up and considers her current situation.::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Waits for the green light showing the reroute works::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::stands and watches the two engineers work::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
ACO: Our rather weak shields will be grazing the atmosphere in about a minute.

Host Computer says:
CEO: Authorization Denied

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
CEO: Can I assist you at all, Commander?

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
CMO: Do you need to go to Sick Bay, Doctor? See the damage?

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
AXO: Sickbay isn't going anywhere Commander.

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
CEO: Narensi sounds vaguely feminine, perhaps it might work if try to make it recognize my voice as Narensi's

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Begins the process again, this time bypassing the initial command coprocessors for the initial change to occur::  ACO: Any ideas will be accepted here.  I am almost out of programming ideas.

ACTION: The deflector field grazes the atmosphere of the moon, causing the ship to lurch again and everyone to lose their foothold

ACTION: The ship continues to rock

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::flies backwards, landing on his back::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::falls straight to the floor::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::lands on her rear again::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Finds herself staring up at the ceiling.  Reaches for the control panel and pulls herself back up.::

ACTION: Multiple microfractures in the hull at the impact

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::yells:: CMO: See to the ACO!

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
AXO: I am attempting to make it think that the ACO is the Admiral...::Thinks::  You do have something there.  ::Begins to adjust the pitch modulators on the internal microphones to account for the differences in the AXO's voice.::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::moves quickly to the ACO and checks him with his medical tricorder::

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::tries to sit up, but decides to lay back down as the room spins a bit too quickly for his liking::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
ACO: How are you feeling Commander?

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
CMO: Dizzy...

Host Nick says:
ACTION: Alert klaxons ring at the hull breaches

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::checks his head::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Finishes tweaking the internal microphones for the sound differences:: AXO: Try it now.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Looking through the window, outward, notices the shimmer of colors of the emergency field.::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
ACO: Just a minor contusion. You'll be fine in a minute or so.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Begins to have air recycled into the room and waits for the pressure to equalize::

Host Computer says:
All: Warning, 3 minutes until auto destruct.

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::speaks to the Computer:: Computer: Cancel self-destruct by order of Admiral Narensi.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Taps his commbadge:: ET1: Team one, find those breaches and patch them up.  We don't have much in the way of atmosphere to spare right now.

EO Yeoman Jackson says:
*CEO*: Aye sir.  We're on it.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: As the light above the door turns green, she exits the control room.::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Leaving the bay, begins to make her way to engineering.::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::gives the ACO a hypo to clear his head::

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::slowly opens his eyes:: CMO: Looks better now... thanks.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
ACO: You should be ok now, sir.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: A few decks more and she arrives near engineering.::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::enters her numerical code, hoping that perhaps the terrorists just changed the voiceprint::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
All: How could the code be set by an admiral not onboard?

ACTION: Communications comes back online

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Slips through the doors and looks around.  Locating the cheif, makes her way over.::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
All: Good question.  Any recording would be detected and rejected by the computer.

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::stands up and walks over to the rest of the staff::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Discovers the rest of the group::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
Computer: Rationalize auto-destruct being set by an admiral not onboard.

Host Computer says:
AXO: Access denied

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::curses::All: Well that didn't work.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Examines the voice data files::

CSO So`tsoh says:
CEO: Could you shut all power to the ship down and have the computers reset?

Host Computer says:
CMO: Admiral Narensi was on board the Sharikahr at the time of activation.

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
All: Okay, we know that's wrong. We had no Admiral with us.

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
AXO: We didn't... perhaps they did.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
Computer: Admiral Narensi is no longer on board. Override self-destruct on the order of Chief Medical Officer as is mandated by the preservation of life.

CSO So`tsoh says:
aXO: Admiral Harlan was last aboard.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
AXO: That is uncertain at this time.  One of the ninja could in fact be the admiral.

Host Computer says:
CMO: The Admiral departed Sharikahr 7 minutes, 23 seconds ago

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
CEO: Oh goody, that's not the best thing to think about.

Host Computer says:
All: Two minutes until auto-destruct

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
Computer: Comply with my order.

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
CEO: Have you tried a complete shut down of the computers?

Host Computer says:
CMO: Unable to comply

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Begins shutting all ships functions down taking computer off line manually::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::notices something:: CEO Stop!

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Stops::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
Computer: Preservation of life superceeds all other orders. Now, deactivate the self-destruct.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Looks toward the counselor::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
CEO/All:  The COM is back up, why don't we try calling the Admiral and asking.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::runs to a console and opens a channel to the Admiral::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
All: They may have hacked the Admirals codes and they may have no knowledge of this.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
All: Hailing the Admiral.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
COM: Adm Narensi: Lt. Logan Cartwright to Admiral Narensi.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Glances at the Chronometer::  aCO: I would suggest all crew abandon ship... in case this does not work.

Host Adm Narensi says:
::appears on the Engineering Viewer:: COM: CMO: Admiral Narensi here Lieutenant, please indicate why you knew to hail me here?

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
COM: Adm Narensi: Lucky guess. We're less than two minutes from self destruct and the computer says it will only accept your order to stop it.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Had long ago realized, in her field, that death could come in many ways and at any time.  This was not one of the ways she would have liked to have gone.::

Host Adm Narensi says:
COM: CMO: My order? That doesn't make any sense ::starts tapping at her console to interface with Sharikahr's computers::

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::taps combadge:: All: All hands to emergency escape pods. This is Commander Rodos, all hands abandon ship!

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
ACO: Sound the abandon ship, just in case.

Host Computer says:
All: Command Codes verified, auto destruct sequence cancelled.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Transmits a secondary message over a special channel::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
COM: Adm Narensi: Thank you Admiral, can you also return Command to Commander Rodos as well?

Host Adm Narensi says:
COM: CMO: Of course Lieutenant, but can you explain why the computer required my clearance to do this, and how you knew I was in this system?

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
ACO: Cancel the abandon ship order?

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: quietly::  CEO: Will the ships structure hold?

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::taps again:: All: All hands, cancel abandon ship.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CSO: I have emergency teams working on the breaches.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
COM: Adm Narensi: We were boarded by Spaceninjas, for the lack of a better term. The computer placed you on board roughly 8 minutes ago, so I figured I would take a chance.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Admiral:  Is it possible that these individuals wanted to find you and used us to find you?

Host Adm Narensi says:
COM: CEO/CMO: It is possible, though I find this news highly disturbi.... did you say "Space Ninjas"?

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
COM: Adm Narensi: For lack of a better term ma'am.

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
::quietly goes about checking the status of various departments::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Transmits a final message again over a special channel::

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
*Engineering Team*: How are the repairs coming on those fractures?

Host Adm Narensi says:
COM: CMO: Preposterous..... I've never heard of such a thing ::taps at her console:: My intelligence shows that you are several hours overdue for your arrival at Betazed, do you need assistance completing your trip?

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: steps aside:: aXO: I will be on the bridge.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::looks at the ACO for a response::

EO Yeoman Jackson says:
*AXO*: Almost done here.

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
CSO: Go ahead Lt.

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
*Yeoman*: Good to hear

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and turns to leave.::

EO Yeoman Jackson says:
*AXO*: Just need to seal 2 medium breaches and 4 minor ones and we are done.

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
CMO: We're going to need  a little time for repairs..

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
All: The microfractures are nearly repaired.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
COM: Adm Narensi: We'll need time for repairs considering we almost collided with a moon, and have hull breaches and no engines as of right now. I'd say a tow would help.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Admiral: That tow would be appreciated as they made a mess of our internal power grid.

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
CEO: What's the ETA until we are up and running again?

Host Nick says:
<Admiral> COM: CMO/CEO: We are on the way.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
COM: Adm Narensi: Thank you Admiral. We could probably benefit from added medical staff and supplies as well.

Host Nick says:
ACTION: The Admiral's ship drops out of warp near the Sharikahr and captures it in a tractor beam

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
ACO: To go over the entire ODN network I would need about 2 weeks, but seeing as how we do not have that I will say 4 days.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Arriving on the bridge, begins a general over view of the situation.::

Host Adm Narensi says:
COM: CMO: I'll see what we can spare.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
COM: Adm Narensi: Thank you Admiral. Cartwright out.

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::nods at the CEO:: CEO: At minimum, we'll need engines and primary ship functions.

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
CEO: Those will be your priority.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::leans against the wall and lets out a deep breath::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Sends an order to the various departments to prepare a general report for Commander Rodos.::

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::walks over to the CMO and rests a hand on his shoulder, smiling::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
ACO: The idea just came to me.

Host Nick says:
ACTION: The Admiral's ship and the Sharikahr warp off towards Betazed

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
CMO: I never would've thought that the Admiral would be in this system... I assumed that they forged her codes or something to that effect.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
ACO: Aye sir.  Turns to his teams.  You heard the captain.  Lets do it!

AXO LtCmdr Rodos says:
CMO: It was a good one Lt.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
ACO/AXO: It was worth a shot.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
ACO/AXO: It was a shot in the dark that paid off.

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
CMO: Good job, Lieutenant. ::smiles::

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
ACO: I'll be in sickbay if you need me sir.

CMO Lt Cartwright says:
::heads for the nearest Jefferies Tube::

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
::nods::

Host ACO Cmdr Rodos says:
AXO: I want status reports from all departments ASAP.
