USS Sharikahr: Mission Transcript #384
A scant few moments ago, an Alvar cruiser encroached on Nova Arcadia airspace.  Hiding itself through psychosuggestive means, it approached the planet close before being destroyed by a joint barrage by the Sharikahr and Minerva.
However, the destruction of the ship only killed the crew, as debris rained down on the planet.  Small impact craters dot the surface, and the dust continues to settle from the atmosphere.  What were the Alvar hoping to accomplish?
Star Trek: A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Sharikahr in

:: On the Bridge ::  CSO: Commander, begin a planetary analysis of the impact sites.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::moves to OPS and begins to begin readying assets to assist in disaster relief::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::status reports start coming in from the security office, every 20 minutes as scheduled... he nods, once, acknowledging the information while Smithson mans tactical sensors on lookout for company::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CO:  Locating them now.  There are various impact sites, most of nominal size.  It looked like they may have wanted to strike the capital city... but they were off by a bit.  There is one large crater not far from them, but the city itself was missed.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Captain I am preparing assets to assist with disaster relief
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Include the Chief Engineer in your efforts.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
CSO: Probably weren't counting on being prematurely blown to reasonably manageable pieces.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Aye Skipper
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CO:  What they did not need is more debris in their atmosphere.  But as with the rest, it will calm with assistance from the weather machine.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
*CEO*: Commander could you please ready some teams to assist with disaster relief
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Commander, once we determine the effects on the planet, I'd like to begin analysis of the vessel itself.  Prepare a shuttle team for planetary duty.  Include security forces.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CTO:  Which brings up the question, why and where are the others who sent them?
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::smirks a little:: CSO: Safely hiding outside our sensor range, I'd wager, Commander, I would.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: contacts the shuttle bay and has them prep  a shuttle for launch.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CIV*: Roger that, I have my damage control teams already on standby. We took no damage ourselves, so they are ready to deploy. Just let me know.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
:: receives an update from sickbay:: CO: Medical teams standing by skipper
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CTO:  Using the same device that misdirected you and others?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Lt could you have a security team meet me in the shuttle bay?
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
*CEO*: Will do
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Engineering teams also standing by
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::signals security to ready a team, gets a quick response that gamma team, lead by ensign T'Lorn herself, is prepping for deployment:: CIV: They'll be there before you will, commander.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: Cmdr I could also use a science team as well.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::smiles:: CTO: Thank you, Lieutenant
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::just nods, still not entirely comfortable with someone not on the normal duty roster having access to the bridge... ah well, if the Vulcan says it's okay, it must be okay... just don't expect him to do a whole lot of relaxing::

ACTION: The Sharikahr is hailed from the planetary government offices

CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
FCO:  I have a couple of science teams down on the planet.  Did you wish me specifically or will one of them suffice?
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::notices the hail:: CO: incoming transmission from the governor
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: They should work.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: On screen.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::puts the transmission through::
Governor_McKay says:
COM: Sharikahr: Captain!  What was that?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Sends her Damage Control teams to the Transporter rooms to stage them for deployment::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
FCO:  I will inform Archimedes to meet with you.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: nods to the CSO::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Notes the governor appears to have just been rousted from sleep ::  COM: Opportunity: An Alvar vessel attempted a run at the planet, its intentions unknown.  It did not fire upon us, merely headed directly for the planet.  We can share our sensor readings with you.
Governor_McKay says:
:: Waves a hand ::  COM: Sharikahr: Not sure there's a need for that right now.  What about impacts to the planet?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*SO*: Archimedes, I am sending you the coordinates of an impact site of an alien vessel.  Please meet commander Twelk there.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::looks over at the CTO and looks him over::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Opportunity: We are still assessing the specific impacts, but any such event will have dramatic effects.  You may wish to evacuate the area, and get planetary emergency rescue teams on the scene.  We are also sending scientific and engineering personnel.
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
::steps into the shuttlebay with her team, and makes her way to their assigned craft, purposefully tapping her badge:: *CIV*: T'Lorn to commander McQueen. Security team gamma is in position and equipped for possible tactical engagement and/or assault.
Governor_McKay says:
COM: Sharikahr: I hope that planetary weather device can sort through the worst of it.  I'll scramble what resources we have, and will meet your personnel there.  McKay out.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
*CSO*:  I and my team are on our way.  We should be there in about 15 minutes.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
*T`Lorn*: Understood
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Permission to head for the shuttle Captain
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: turns the helm over to the duty FCO:: CO: Captain I will be in the shuttle bay when you are ready for us to head for the planet.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CIV*: Damage Control teams are staged and ready to deploy in the Transporter rooms.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Signal the Bridge when you are ready for launch.  CIV: Assess the damage, and find samples.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: gets up and heads for the TL:: CO: Aye Captain.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
*CEO*: Understood. Standby for deployment
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::nods and heads for the TL::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CIV*: Also, if the Skipper needs an update, all ship systems are online and ready, the board is green down here.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
*CEO*: Good work commander
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::pauses before the doors:: CO: Skipper, ME reports the board is green
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: waits for the CIV to enter the TL::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::steps in beside Twelk:: FCO: Some things never change
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
::her team settles in, phaser rifles at the ready... just in case::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: How true my friend, how true.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Of course.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
FCO: Don't think young Arinoch knows what to make of me
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Lieutenant, stand us down from alert status.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Well the first time you have to pull his butt out of some situation that has gone wrong then maybe he will learn to appreciate you.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::nods once, and signals shipwide condition green, glancing briefly to the captain:: CO: All stations standing down, sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Finishes her analysis of the situation.::  CO:  Much of the debris burned up in the atmosphere.  However that has created firestorms in the upper atmosphere.  I would estimate the situation will last for approximately an 90 minutes over the local area.  This will cause problems with the transporters.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
FCO: We could always get him drunk
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: Inform Commanders Twelk and McQueen of this.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Sees the alert status go back to green and sends all the personnel not on regular duty or on the Damage Control teams back to bed to get what rest they can::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: That is another possibility.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*CIV/FCO*:  Commanders.  Due to a firestorm within the upper atmosphere of the general area, transporters will not be safe to use for approximately 90 minutes.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CSO*: Roger that is why we are taking shuttles down for now.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: exits the TL and heads for the Shuttle bay::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::exits and stops by an equipment locker and takes out his body armor and grabs his sidearm and rifle::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: Watches McQueen:: CIV: You expecting some kind of trouble?
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::puts his gear on and heads for the shuttle:: FCO: Always
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*FCO*:  Lieutenant Archimedes will be waiting for you at the site.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Then hand me one of those rifles as well.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
:: hands Twelk a phaser Carbine and smiles:: FCO: Just don't shoot me ok
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::rubs at an eye, and briefly contemplates the benefits of ducking down to the mess hall for coffee::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CSO*: Roger I will contact her when I get there.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
FCO: Don't you miss the peacekeeper?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Then stay out of my line of site. :: grins::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: her eyes lighten with humor.::  *FCO*:  I will inform him you will be arriving by shuttle.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CSO*: Roger Thank you.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Informs Archimedes the team will arrive by shuttle, as well as informing him of the situation in the atmosphere.::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: enters the shuttle bay and heads for his shuttle::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::takes his seat::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: makes final check of the shuttle:: *CO*: Captain this is Cmdr Twelk we are ready to launch.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
FCO: how many drops does this make it for us?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Grabs a PADD with the ship status report and stops by a replicator to get a mug of mud and then heads for the TL and takes it to the Bridge::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Shoot I lost count at a 100.
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
::readjusts the setting on her rifle, and notes the rest of her men doing same::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
FCO: That's what I thought
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
T`Lorn: How many drops for you ensign?
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Checks with OPS to open the bay doors then taps his combadge ::  *FCO* You are clear for launch
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CIV: 671 total, including 75 drops into enemy or hostile territory.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: brings the shuttle around and waits for the doors to open::*CO*: Aye Captain just waiting for the door to open.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
T`Lorn: Not bad for a youngster
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Steps off the TL and walks over to the Tactical station:: CTO: Everything under control up here? ::offers him half her mug of mud::
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
::raises an eyebrow yet again:: CIV: Indeed. ::dismisses further conversation by turning to observe their launch::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
T`Lorn: Only 329 before you loose your noob status

ACTION: After the shuttlecraft launches from the Sharikahr, it makes a gentle descent into the planet's atmosphere, which is slightly tinged with dust.  There are several small craters on the surface of the planet, and a good sprinkling of fist size chunks of indeterminate debris around.

FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@:: sees the door open and heads the shuttle out into space headed for the planet:: CIV: Well we will see what these youngsters are made of shortly.

ACTION: The impact seems to have not been aimed directly at the capital city, or have missed for some reason.  Instead, a few buildings show minor damage, and several chunks of ship are below the surface of a water reservoir.

CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::glances up at Gina, and just shrugs:: CEO: I usually like to have my morning coffee, then blow the hell out of some ingrates. Figured we could use a change.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Do you think their moms know there out playing soldier?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CTO: Right, well, at least your mob hasn't been working double shifts. ::shrugs:: Want half of mine? ::offers the mug again::
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
@::some of the officers in the security squad snicker a little, T'Lorn just tilts her head a degree, some kind of Vulcan attempt at a mix of amusement and boredom, were a Vulcan actually to be bothered expressing either::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@CIV: Have no idea and don't feel like holding their hand right now. :: sets the shuttle down in a clearing close to the impact site:: Ok everybody out and let's get this taken care of.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
CEO: Why not? Could be beta shift before I get a real one.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@:: Arriving at the scene, he steps out of the shuttle with Asimov.::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@ALL: Ok boys and girls time to earn your pay. T`Lorn lets move out
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@:: gets out and starts looking for the SO::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Pours half her coffee into his mug and nods:: CTO: Enjoy, it's the good stuff. ::Moves on to the center chair::
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
@::immediately, she and her team gets up, and move for the hatch, fanning out in a cover pattern as they head out::

ACTION: Several planetary personnel move about, but the numbers are slim.  A woman approaches the shuttlecraft.

SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@:: As they start to scan, he notes the arrival of another shuttle and the pair of them head for the Federation officers.::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::takes a careful sip from the mug, and winces a little:: Self: Real huh... really replicated.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: moves out of the shuttle and onto terra firma::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::watches the woman approach::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CO: Ship status Captain. The short version is all primary and secondary systems are online, and we are continuing to get all the backups and emergency gear fixed and all the clean-up work on the lower decks finished. ::hands over the PADD::
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ CIV/FCO:  Commanders?
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: Are our added security features impacting ship operations?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@:: watches the security team move out:: SO: You're Archimedes?
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@SO: Yes
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
CO: Shuttles have touched down, captain.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ FCO/CIV:  Aye, sirs.  I do not believe we have met yet.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Excellent.  Thank you, Lieutenant.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CO: No sir, I used my knowledge from my time as OPS and some suggestions from Lt. Arinoch to streamline things so the security is in place but it doesn't cause any slowdowns or bottlenecks. We also reset all the command codes and protocols and prefix codes.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@SO: Cmdr Twelk  here and this is Cmdr McQueen:: points to the CIV::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::nods as he sticks a Churchill cigar in his mouth:: SO: What we got here Archi
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ FCO/CIV:  Welcome planet side.  Commander So'tsoh spoke of you in one of her reports.
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
@::continues to watch their surroundings, her team spread out to provide a perimeter::
Hera_Jacobs says:
@:: Waves her hand over her head ::  All: You must be the Starfleet team.  I'm Hera Jacobs, an environmental scientist.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@SO: So have you found anything out yet?
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ CIV:  Debris... seems to be from an Alvar ship.  However, we just arrived.  This is my assistant for today, Asimov.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Turns to the woman working on getting their attention.::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::nods and looks at Jacobs::
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ Jacobs:  Hello Hera, good to see you.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@:: sees someone waving their hands over their head and move that direction:: Jacobs: I am Cmdr Twelk we are here to help analyze and clean up what we can here.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::sections off a part of his display, and puts the away teams' current positions on it::
Hera_Jacobs says:
@FCO: Good.  There's going to be a cleanup effort.  The impact's having some odd behavior.  Let me show you.  :: Starts to walk towards the reservoir ::
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
@::she and her team stay close, but not so close as to impede their travels::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@:: Follows the woman::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::stays close to Twelk::

ACTION: As the team begins to approach the water, they notice a foul scent in the air.  A slight brownish tint has taken to the water plants along the surface and banks, and the water seems discolored.

FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@CIV: Ty you may want to check on the security and make sure they don't shoot themselves.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Follows along curious.  He had of course meet the woman though there times together had been short.  She was not one to exaggerate.::
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: As the smell reaches him he frowns and opens his tricorder for a scan.::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::nods and moves off towards T`Lorn::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@:: gets a good whiff of the air around the reservoir:: Jacobs: Have you been able to find out what this foul smell is?
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
@::with a hand signal, she orders her team to circle outwards, to maximize coverage... the team remains silent::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: Excellent.  Continue your fine work, Commander.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::eyes scan the surrounding area as he moves towards T`Lorn::
Hera_Jacobs says:
@All: We can't explain it but the water has become toxic, and very fast.  It's got to be the ship debris...
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CO: Aye Captain. I'll be downstairs if you need me, and my Damage Control teams are waiting in the transporter rooms if you need them. ::heads for the TL to go back to Main Engineering::
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@T`Lorn: Bit jumpy ensign
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
:: Odd... :: CIV/FCO:  I am reading increasing levels of oxygen in the water... I am not certain what would cause that effect.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@Jacobs: Of that we can be assured. Lets hope we can get is cleared up before it spreads.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::catches the chief's eye on her way out of the bridge, and just shakes his head:: CEO: Real coffee huh... remind me to show you something later.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Informs the CSO of what is occurring and uploads his initial scans before going to get some samples.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
CTO: Compared to the Emergency packs we had been using? Be glad you're getting replicated. ::winks and steps on the TL::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CO:  It would appear the water source near the compound may have been contaminated.  Archimedes is collecting samples now.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@SO: Get what ever you need to find out what we need to do to clear it up. I will work on getting the debris out of the reservoir.
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: CIV: I am simply following protocol as established by lieutenant Arinoch, commander. Nothing more.
CIV_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::takes a knee next to T`Lorn:: T`Lorn: And what do you notice?
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
@CIV: The away mission is conforming to expected parameters thus far, sir.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Nods as he caps off the first of a couple of samples, handing it to Asimov.::
