Host EvilMCSA says:
ACTION: the ship is in orbit a safe distance from the starbase

OPS_Korlak says:
::on the temporary bridge in engineering, reading a huge complicated Starfleet Protocol handbook on his console and getting a headache::

Host EvilMCSA says:
ACTION: repairs are proceeding.  The team from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers has not yet arrived

FCO_Ranahi says:
::enters the temporary bridge, trying to sort out exactly where he should be::

OPS_Korlak says:
::looks up, sees the confused look on the FCO's face, and motions towards an empty seat to his right::

XO_McRae says:
::in Big Chair going over the reports and findings regarding the sabotage.::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::puzzling over a series of relays on the secondary power grid, trying to determine why shutting down the secondary grib affected so much of the ship::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::nods to the Klingon, and goes to sit down at the temporary conn::

Host EvilMCSA says:
ACTION: several reports beep on the XO's padd indicating their arrival

XO_McRae says:
::glances as the reports to see if anything important is in them::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::scans the relays with a tricorder and examines the sensor return::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::reports the status of his department to McRae's PADD::

XO_McRae says:
::sees some data regarding the parts used for the bridge.  just so happens taht they are from the panel where they found the contraption::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::leans his head to one side and snaps the tricorder closed:: XO: Commander, I believe that the power flow to the bridge had been redirected through the secondary power grid. When I disconnected the grid from the main power supply, bridge power was also cut. I am agraid I am at a loss as to how, or why, this redirect would have been done.

XO_McRae says:
::notes that all the parts came from the same place and were installed at the same time::

OPS_Korlak says:
::glares at his protocol manual some more::

XO_McRae says:
CSO: Well, see if you can figure out how to get the power back to the bridge.  Then track down the rest.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::checks the power routing to the flight control console::

XO_McRae says:
::goes back to the parts manifest and starts comparing it to the list of people installing the specific parts::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::nods:: XO: Commander, I believe temporary power could be restored through the use of a portable generator unit ... of which we have several in ships stores. ::pauses to place his tricorder back in its holster:: Alternately, we could run ODN cables through the Jefferies tubes and bypass the effected relays.

OPS_Korlak says:
XO: Permission to contact starbase and check out the repair estimate again, sir?

XO_McRae says:
::realizes that the parts in question were all installed byt the same person::

XO_McRae says:
CSO: Make it work.

CSO_Jarvel says:
::starts to move and then stops, faltering:: XO: Which plan should I impliment, sir?

FCO_Ranahi says:
::listens to Jarvel, trying to think himself about which would work best:

XO_McRae says:
OPS: Go ahead.

OPS_Korlak says:
XO: Aye, sir.

XO_McRae says:
::starts to hack Starfleet logs and records regarding the identity of the engineer who installed the parts::

OPS_Korlak says:
COM: Starbase Ops: This is the USS Tal-War requesting a repair estimate.

CSO_Jarvel says:
::picks up a nearby engineering kit as he waits for McRae's response::

Host EvilMCSA says:
<SBO> COM: USS Tal-War: Repair teams have estimated that it would take too long to repair the current bridge

Host EvilMCSA says:
<SBO> COM: USS Tal-War: It also seems that the bridge module installation at time of commision was not standard.  You will be getting a standard akira class bridge module replacement though

OPS_Korlak says:
COM: SBOps: Too long? Then I assume we will be having a replacement module fitted... Requesting a time estimate on delivery and installation.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::glances at Korlak::

XO_McRae says:
::Crewman Sumdumgie seems to have left a lot of his background out of his enlistment papers::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::overhears the communique from Starbase:: XO: Perhaps, Commander, it would be more efficient to simply leave the bridge module unpowered for now ... rather than attempting either of the plans I have suggested?

XO_McRae says:
::discovers the crewman has also been mia for quite some time::

Host EvilMCSA says:
<SBO> COM: USS Tal-War: We have contacted Utopia Planetia and they are having one shipped to you along with the team of SCE that should be arriving soon

OPS_Korlak says:
COM: SBOps: Please clarify "soon".

XO_McRae says:
CSO: No, it will be more efficient to get me back to the bridge and out of the way of the engineers and repair crew.

OPS_Korlak says:
::somehow manages to get the quotation marks into his verbal comm message::

Host EvilMCSA says:
<SBO> COM: USS Tal-War: I wish I could Tal-war.  Subspace communication is currently down

CSO_Jarvel says:
::nods:: XO: If you insist, Commander. In that case ... I ask again ... which course of action would you like me to impliment?

XO_McRae says:
CSO: Just get power.  Pick the one you think is most likely to work and do it.

OPS_Korlak says:
COM: SBOps: I see. Is the cause for the comms outage known?

CSO_Jarvel says:
XO: As you wish... ::bows and backs away from a seemingly quite agitated Commander McRae::

Host EvilMCSA says:
<SBO> COM: USS Tal-War: Not at this time.  It started shortly before you came into sensor range on approach though.  as the vulcans would say, logic would suggest that would have something to do with it

CSO_Jarvel says:
::toting his engineering kit, he heads for the doors out of Engineering:: FCO: Lieutenant Ranahi, would you care to assist me in a bit of surgery on a power cable?

OPS_Korlak says:
COM: SBOps: Just as we arrived... ::scratches beard:: Very well, Tal-War out.

CSO_Jarvel says:
::regards a schematic of the Tal-War to determine at what point the main bridge power relays diverge from their normal parameters::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::looks at Jarvel and cocks his head to one side::  Ensign, look around you.  Don't you think that anyone else in this room would be more qualified than me?

OPS_Korlak says:
XO: Sir, I have something unusual to report. It could be nothing, but I'd like to mention it.

XO_McRae says:
OPS: What is it?

CSO_Jarvel says:
::regards Ranahi coolly:: FCO: Perhaps, but you appear to be the least busy ... sir.

OPS_Korlak says:
XO: The starbase is currently experiencing a loss in subspace communications, which appeared just as we came into their sensor range. Suggest we scan the ship for possible sources of subspace interference, as a precaution.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::looks at Jarvel in disbelief::  CSO: And possibly the least qualified, Ensign.

XO_McRae says:
OPS: Sounds like a good idea.  Do it.

CSO_Jarvel says:
FCO: One does not have to be imminently qualified to hold a power cable, sir. Regardless, I will continue on my own. ::turns and heads out of Main Engineering::

OPS_Korlak says:
::nods to the XO, and sets up a program to send subspace signals from various points of the ship in an attempt to pinpoint any area containing possible sources of interference::

OPS_Korlak says:
Computer: Computer, run program

CSO_Jarvel says:
::comes to a corrirdor junction and turns towards the nearest turbolift as he examines the ships schematic ... not terribly familiar with this design yet::

OPS_Korlak says:
::strokes at his beard, thoughtfully::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::shakes his head at Jarvel::  Self:  Newbies.....always think they know more than us more experience officers.....sheesh....

XO_McRae says:
::tries to find the last time anyone saw the rogue crewman after the parts were installed::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::finds the Jefferies Tube access he wants and opens the hatch, crawling in to find a ladder leading up. Slings the engineering kit over his shoulder and grips the ladder rungs as he begins his climb to the bridge::

OPS_Korlak says:
::notices something on the scan for a fraction of a second, which then disappears::

OPS_Korlak says:
Computer: Replay scan results, enhance, and attempt to locate abnormalities.

XO_McRae says:
::notes that he went missing the day the Tal-War launched.  Looks at a list of all craft that alunched the same day.::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::as he climbs, postulates a theory disproving Schultze's postulate on multiple big bangs::

XO_McRae says:
::runs down the destinations of the ships and compares them to the crewman's planet of origin, previous postings and the location of his family members::

OPS_Korlak says:
::moves his head closer to the console to try to make out the tiny blip::

OPS_Korlak says:
*CSO* Korlak to Jarvel. Can I ask your advice for a second?

CSO_Jarvel says:
::realizes that the matter equation doesn't allow for the proper gravitational spin and stops in mid-climb, tapping his combadge:: *OPS*: This is Jarvel ... go ahead.

OPS_Korlak says:
*CSO* I'm attempting to locate possible sources of subspace interference, and have isolated a possible blip on the high end of the subspace spectrum for a second while emitting signals from multiple points around the ship. Do you have any theories on what could be causing this?

XO_McRae says:
::notes that there was one bolian on one transport ship.  starts looking at the other ships to see if there were others::

XO_McRae says:
::finds none and tracks the destiantion of that transport.  prepares to conduct a full investigation himself if necessary::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::continues his climbing:: *OPS*: Does the 'blip' emit a carrier wave consistent with any known communications devices?

FCO_Ranahi says:
::turns to Korlak::  OPS: I'm just speculating, but don't some detonation devices emit something similar?

OPS_Korlak says:
FCO: Very possibly... I'm checking the databases now.

OPS_Korlak says:
::checking against various carrier wave schematics::

FCO_Ranahi says:
OPS: Anything I can do to help?

OPS_Korlak says:
*CSO* Closest match I can find is a Bolian design.

OPS_Korlak says:
FCO: I'm not sure. How much do you know about Bolian communications devices?

FCO_Ranahi says:
OPS: I'm not sure.  How much does it look like I know about Boliand communications devices?

CSO_Jarvel says:
*OPS*: Fascinating. Can you triangulate its location using multiple sensor arrays? ::comes to the bridge hatch and presses his shoulder against it helping it open::

OPS_Korlak says:
*CSO* Working now. ::initates a trianguation program and runs it::

OPS_Korlak says:
FCO: Unless you are in the habit of wearing your academy record tattooed to your face, I cannot answer that.

CSO_Jarvel says:
::turns on his palm beacon and shines it around the dark and vacant bridge of the Tal-War:: *XO*: I have gained access to the bridge, Commander. ::climbs out of the Jefferies Tube::

OPS_Korlak says:
*CSO* I have the signal pinpointed on the bridge.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::chuckles::  OPS: You know, as you spend more time with us, you really are improving on your sense of humor  ::turns back to his console::

XO_McRae says:
::notes all the stops the transport had to make and starts hacking into the records on the various planets, starting with the first stop, Risa::

OPS_Korlak says:
::Frowns at the back of the FCO's head::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::glances about, shining his palm beacon to the left and to the right:: *OPS*: Can you be any more specific? ::pulls out his tricorder and regrets not bringing a phaser::

XO_McRae says:
*Bridge*: CSO: Fantastic.  ::hopes that was right::

XO_McRae says:
::finds no info on the Bolian in Risa and moves to the next stop, randomplanet 3::

OPS_Korlak says:
*CSO* Working now... it's .. in the vicinity of the Engineering console....

FCO_Ranahi says:
::turns to McRae::  XO: Commander, might I suggest that the Ensign has some backup?

CSO_Jarvel says:
::walks over towards the Engineering Console that he extracted the blinking box from and casts his tricorder in that direction:: *OPS*: Scanning... ::looks for any sign of Bolian communications equipment::

XO_McRae says:
FCO: You can suggest all you want.  Why don't you trot on up there and help?

FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Aye, sir  ::exits Engineering, and makes his way to the bridge::

XO_McRae says:
::since he can't go through Federation records for Randonium, he starts hacking into their system the old fashioned way::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::glances at the return from the tricorder and peers into the damaged console:: *OPS*: I have found a device that is emitting a Bolian carrier wave ... but it appears to be of Federation design. It is consistent with the rest of the engineering console. It may be a replica of some kind.

XO_McRae says:
::quickly cracks the encryption on the Randonium system (that'll teach them to buy from the Pakled), and begins his search for the bolian there::

OPS_Korlak says:
*CSO* Is there any way to trace the signal it is emitting?

FCO_Ranahi says:
::clambers quickly up the turbiloft shaft, finally making it to deck one, and bashes on the door::

CSO_Jarvel says:
*OPS*: I believe that would require ship's sensors ... I shall attempt to shut down the device. ::bangs on it with the only thing of any substance he can find ... his engineering kit::

OPS_Korlak says:
*CSO* Is that wise? We may need to trace the signal before cutting it.

XO_McRae says:
::sees that there were lots of bolians that day.  realizes that they'll have to go to Randonium to track down whether or not Sumdumgie disembarked there.  Moves through the rest of the tranports stops to see if there is anyplace else he might have disembarked::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::looks down at the bits of the device left:: *OPS*: Its remains should be sufficent for a forensic analysis.. ::spins at the banging of the Jefferies Tube door, reaching for a non-existent phaser::

XO_McRae says:
::also tries to track the current location of the transport::

OPS_Korlak says:
::hears a sickening crunching sound from the comm::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::tries to pull the doors apart, struggling to do so::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::walks over to the hatch and pulls open the cover, shining his palm beacon into Ranahi's eyes::

Host EvilMCSA says:
<SBO> COM: Tal-War: USS Tal-War come in please

FCO_Ranahi says:
::looks up at the light, wincing a little, and offers Jarvel a phaser::  CSO: Thought you might need this.  ::grins::

CSO_Jarvel says:
FCO: Welcome to the bridge ... you appear to require assistance. ::takes the phaser and helps Ranahi out of the Jefferies Tube::

OPS_Korlak says:
COM: SBOps: Tal-War here.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::clambers on

FCO_Ranahi says:
to the bridge::  CSO: Thank you.

Host EvilMCSA says:
<SBO> COM: Tal-War: Subspace communications just came back online.  We thought you should know

CSO_Jarvel says:
::turns from the FCO and heads towards the central area of the bridge scanning with his tricorder for the exact point that the primary relays were severed and connected to the secondary grid::

OPS_Korlak says:
COM: SBOps: Message understood. Tal-War out.

FCO_Ranahi says:
CSO: So, what did you find?  ::straightens his tunic::

CSO_Jarvel says:
::points towards the engineering station:: FCO: A device was placed in that engineering console ... it was emitting a carrier wave consistent with Bolian communications. However, the design was strictly Federation Standard. Perhaps a replica of some kind.

FCO_Ranahi says:
CSO: I don't want to worry you, but I was talking to Lieutenant Korlak - it might also be some sort of detonation device.  Just wanted to be sure.

CSO_Jarvel says:
::finds the point at which the primary and secondary relays merge and opens the appropriate panel, running his tricorder along the inside of it::
