USS Sharikahr Mission #343
Space, the final frontier...These are the adventures of the USS Sharikahr in her continuing mission to bring peace where conflicts may arise, to explore new worlds untouched by the eyes of men, and to brave the darkness of the last vast, unknown.
After three weeks and many light years of almost quiet travel (which still amounts to hard toil and work for the Sharikahr's crew) the colonist fleet suffered the first serious break down of their voyage.
Both garden ships, carrying in their greenhouses a consistent part of the food needed for the mission, lost large part of their supplies when the greenhouses for some unexplained malfunction vented atmosphere inside and let the icy vacuum of space fill their rooms.
Is this just an unplanned technical malfunction or some sort of sabotage? Captain Savar and his crew better find out soon if someone is intentioned to stop the convoy, because when the colonists will be beyond the Federation Borders these problems may become deadly.

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::takes a sip of Raktajino as she coordinates repair efforts::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::On the bridge of the medical ship monitoring reports coming in::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
OPS: Lieutenant Varn, I want you to start getting those repair teams out - now.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::steps onto the bridge, and moves to the tactical console, getting the report from ensign T'Lorn:: XO: Commander, the Minerva signals away teams are boarding the Black Orchid.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Excellent.  Helm: Helm, move us closer to the Olympian, we'll focus our efforts there.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<OPS_Lt_Varn> :: nods to the Captain and departs the Bridge to lead a team or two ::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::nods to T'Lorn, who moves to the secondary console, and sits down::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@COM: Shari: OPS: This the San Sebastian, we are ready in there are any injured.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CTO: Thank you Lt. I'm keeping track of their progress.

ACTION: The Olympian goes out of formation, visibly venting atmosphere from all sides.

Host Enrico says:
<FCO_Polo>: CO: Ay Captain, transporter range?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Indeed.

ACTION: The Sharikahr goes to full impulse and quickly closes the distance with the Olympian. Now the two ships are just a few thousand meters apart.

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
OPS: How are we doing with getting the crew off the Olympian?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<OPS_Lt_Varn> :: Signals the Bridge ::  *XO*: Commander, our team's ready to beam over.  Are the locals standing by for us?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO/XO: Sirs, the Olympian shows hull breaches. In... ::pauses:: all... sections.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@:: Listens to the civilian plans to handle injuries::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: Captain, Minerva away team reports there appears to be a coolant leak in the environmental systems in the greenhouse aboard the Orchid.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Have they determined a cause?  And do we have security personnel handling the transports from the Olympian?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Her team finally gathered around her.::  *XO*: Commander, we are ready to beam to the Orchid.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Arrangements are in place for the transport of her crew. ::checks in with the away team and nods:: The away team suspect a pressure increase in the pipelines. They're not entirely sure as yet.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Steps up to the transport and turns around to look at the ensign in charge of transport; she does not recognize him.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
COM: San Sebastian: CMO: So far only one casualty is reported. A maintenance man from the Olympian was in the greenhouses when they depressurized. As of now we are beaming the rest of the crews to the Sharikahr Minerva, and San Sebastian. Once that is done you can retrieve the body.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: We'll stand by for further news.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CSO: Go ahead Commander.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@:: Not hearing any response, takes things into her own hands:: COM: All ships: The San Sebastian is ready, please start bring them over
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#<OPS_Lt_Varn> :: Had the transporter officer beam him and his team over to the Olympian without waiting for the XO.  Once aboard, he meets with the civilian engineers, and they set to work investigating ::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*CSO*: Remember to suit up.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
*XO*: We are commander.  Our beam coordinates will take us directly inside.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::Waits to hear reports from the transporter rooms::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Catching her team with her eyes, nods her readiness for transport.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<TO_Ens_Sovok> ::looks over at the CSO, and raises an eyebrow from behind the transporter console:: CSO: Commander.
SO_Archimedes says:
XO: Commander, I have located the casualty and have a lock.  Where would you like me to beam him?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*OPS*: I can see you haven't waited for the order. For right now we'll call that initiative, but next time wait. Please contact me when you are through.
Host Enrico says:
<Minerva_CO>: COM: CMO: Doctor, we are treating the crew of the Orchid here, but our surgeon says there are no injuries among them. A really fortunate event.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#<OPS_Lt_Varn> :: Rolls his eyes and bites back his response as he continues to work on what's important ::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
SO: Beam him to the San Sebastian so Dr. Tiernan can sign his death certificate.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Everyone's off the black Orchid, captain. She's empty.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Except our away team, of course.
SO_Archimedes says:
*CMO*: I am beaming the casualty to you now.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Looks confused until Mister Arinoch amends himself ::  CTO: Understood.  The Minerva should stand by to beam back a command staff.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ :: The feeling of ants crawling along her skin ends as the transporter releases her. Looks around the room with a small sigh; she never liked to see anything harmed and plants were life.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Aye sir. ::relays the order to the Minerva::

@ACTION: The casualty is beamed directly in one of the San Sebastian's emergency rooms.

CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@:: Shakes her head at the time line of the incident.::  SO: Thank you for the update.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Captain, Minerva reports a command staff has already been assembled. Lead by first officer Jadhav, of the Minerva.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ :: Has her team spread out, to see if they can find anything salvable as well as look for the cause.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: I mean for the command crew to be the commander of the vessel, not a Starfleet team.  We're not here to take over, just keep them from killing themselves.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@*Civ_MO_Buce*: I believe that is going to be your only casualty.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::thought that was what he meant, but not everyone's had the dealings with the colonists Donavin has, so sends the clarification off to the Minerva::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$*XO*: Commander, we have arrived safely, but the place is literally a disaster.  All life is either frozen or poisoned.  We have coolant floating around the place.  :: kneels down to pick up the remnants of tomatoes plant.::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@<Civ_MO_Buce> *CMO*: I don't need many scans to tell you he died of exposure.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#<OPS_Lt_Varn> :: Turns on his communications channel ::  *Sharikahr*: Sharikahr, we've found signs of ruptured coolant pipes... we can repair the pipes, but they're going to need new coolant.
SO_Archimedes says:
:: Keeps a close scan on the area.::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$:: Stands and looks around the area, noting the pattern of damage::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::gets the question from the Minerva, and tries to resist the urge to laugh, replying back to them in text:: Only when things start exploding for no apparent reason.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*CSO*: Look around carefully to see if anything is salvageable.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@<Civ_MO_Buce> *CMO*: I will run some more tests just in case, I’m the paranoid type.
SO_Archimedes says:
$ <EO Cherry> CSO: Commander, I believe I have found the problem.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Takes the communication.. from Varn ::  *OPS*: We'll see what we can spare from engineering.  :: Calls down to engineering with their discovery and determines what they can spare ::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$:: Carefully steps around and over the debris as she makes her way over to the area in question.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
$<EO_Ens_Reloran>::comes out of an access way behind the CSO, and follows her::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ :: Arriving, looks at what Ensign Cherry is showing her.:: *XO*: Commander, it would appear that one of the O rings exploded under pressure, causing the rupture.  We will continue to look into it.  If it was a defect, then there might be others around the ship.  :: Turns toward CEO Shari and steps out of their way.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
$<EO_Ens_Reloran> ::smiles disarmingly at the commander, and moves to consult with the engineer::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$*XO*: As for salvageable material, that should not be a problem.  It will take some time to clean up as well as some repair.  They will have to plant from seeds, but that should not cause too much hardship with all the other ships about.  It will just take time to restart.  Most of these plants were mature.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*CSO*: The O ring would explain why both ships decompressed. They were sister ships,
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*CSO*: And that is good news about the seeds.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ :: Making her way towards the other end.::  *XO*: That should only be a defect if it was in the blueprints, and the O rings were not of the correct material for it, or if there is a serious defect in these items.  Has the issue of O rings been identified on the other ship as well?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
$<EO_Ens_Reloran>::nods as words are exchanged between them, then turns to glance around the place:: EO: Where's your nearest diagnostic station for this routine?
SO_Archimedes says:
$ <EO Cherry> CEO: It should be over there towards the entrance, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*CSO* I have heard nothing to that effect Commander.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::Continues to monitors reports::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: Reports from both ships confirm that each had the same problem. An O ring failure.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ :: Leaves the repairs to the engineers and has the operational team begin to clean up while another group, she has begin to help reset up the area.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: Signal the other vessels in the fleet to inspect any similar systems aboard their ships before we begin warp travel again.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::sends out a communication to all ships with the cause of the explosions and instructions to perform an inspection of any similar systems aboard their ships and then to report the results to her::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
$<EO_Ens_Reloran>::moves over to the console and starts pulling up system logs for the past few hours:: *CSO*: Commander, I believe I may have found the initial cause of the decompressions.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ :: Makes her way over to a far computer terminal to pull up the internal sensors.  Pauses as one of the agriculturalists join her.  Listens and then orders them to gather what material they could that was uncontaminated.::  *XO*: Commander, it will be at least two months, for hydroponics to be up and running.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ EO_Reloran: Please elaborate.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
$<EO_Ens_Reloran> CSO: It's an issue with the safety routines. It's designed to vent the atmosphere if an airborne toxin is detected in the environment.

$ACTION: The crew of the Orchid is back on the ship and is helping with the work.

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: The CSO reports that it will take two months for repairs to be made and for the ships to be up and running.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ :: Lifts a brow::  EO Shari: You are saying, that the system did its job?  It did not malfunction?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::  XO: Two months to get the convoy moving again?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Motions one of the people over and has them begin taking samples, that would not have escaped.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<EO_Ens_Reloran> $CSO: Yes and no. There was nothing toxic in the atmosphere before the coolant leak. But prior to the decompression...
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ :: Nods her head::  EO Shari:  In other words, this was not natural.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ *CO*: Captain, we have a more serious issue on our hands.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CSO*: Explain?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::sighs heavily:: CO: No the convoy may leave now. It will take two months for the green houses to be back to 100% functional.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<EO_Ens_Reloran> $CSO: Not unless somebody aboard breathes a natural coolant environment.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: Oh, I see.  The reason we stopped was because of hull breaches and leaking atmosphere - those are the critical repairs to get the vessels moving again.  It was unclear what you meant by the over generalized term "repairs"
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ *CO*:  The system is programmed to decompress if there are airborne toxins detected in the environment.  The system does not have a defect.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@All on the San Sebastian’s bridge: Until we are told what to do next, best we all do a ship inspection, we don't need an accident over here.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::smiles a bit, trying to contain a laugh at her CO's literal mind:: CO: I will be more specific next time sir.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CSO*: Have you detected any such toxins?  Does the computer have any readings that could determine what it was?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::just smirks, and looks over his shoulder while Savar's talking with Sin, mouthing:: XO: Vulcans, dear. Enough said.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#<OPS_Lt_Varn> *CO*: Captain, we've made our initial assessment.  The repairs to the ship should be minimal, and fixed with little effort.  I'd like to get another couple sets of hands working on this, though, to get it moving quicker.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::smirks back to the CTO::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$*CO*: Coolant is everywhere.  It was the presence in the atmosphere that caused the computer to react.  I am having samples taken now, but do not expect too much other then the obvious.  :: Turns and steps away, leaving the others to their job.::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ *CO*: Captain, even with that programmed in there, it should not have released with a living entity in here.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*CMO*: Cmdr. did anything unusual present itself with the casualty.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@Civ_MO_Buce: *CMO*: Just a heads up, looks like this guy was breathing in a lot of coolant.  I’m not sure where he was found, but that’s never good.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CSO*: And yet it did... a mysterious occurrence.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ EO Shari: I need you to check the failsafe system.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::Thinks to herself where coolant might have been breathed in.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<EO_Ens_Reloran> $CSO: Already doing so, sir. ::sending the logs back to the Sharikahr, then runs a diagnostic::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ :: Nods as she returns to pulling up the internal sensor logs of the area.::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ CO:  Nothing obvious on internal sensors.  I am up linking them to the ship.  Perhaps tactical or science might discover that is not obvious.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::Rushes down to the engine room to check out there coolant.::
SO_Archimedes says:
:: Seeing the light flash on his console, informs the CSO the download completed.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::puts his attention back on his console, and confirms the uplink, running his own analysis programs on the readings::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: moves to join Shari::  EO: What have you discovered?
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::Passes a few civilians as she rushes to engineering.  Looking around gets to a console to bring up coolant levels, and its location::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::waits for an answer::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<EO_Ens_Reloran> $CSO: Nothing as yet, commander. These diagnostics aren't as intense as our own...
Host Enrico says:
<Duty_Ops>CO: All fleet is reporting their systems are fine..no coolant problems.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
$ EO Shari: Understood.  :: Moves out of the way and begins to scan the area in general before too much has been moved.  Decompression would make it more challenging to discover anything:: TO: Our casualty, was he supposed to be here at that time and place?
