21:00 | Lt_Andrews | ::aa:: |
21:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, Crew. I hope your week has been going well. |
21:01 | Lt_Shadow | AA:: |
21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Have you all read the brief and do we have any questions? |
21:01 | Lt_Shadow | y/n sir |
21:01 | Cdr_Hart | Brief read, no questions. |
21:02 | Lt_Andrews | Yes and no, Sir. |
21:02 | Lt_Banning | y/n, Sir. |
21:02 | CaptMcCloud | Alright then, let's... |
21:02 | ... | =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\= |
21:02 | NOTE: Names in GREEN indicate NPCs. |
21:02 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: in his usual spot:: |
21:03 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: on the bridge at the engineering console:: |
21:03 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: at tactical, scanning the area:: |
21:04 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: at the science station, doing the same:: |
21:04 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] Mr. Banning, have we picked up anything new? |
21:05 | Lt_Shadow | CMO> ::In Sickbay, going through the inventory to make sure everyone was in place;; |
21:06 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Nothing yet, Sir. I was wondering if we could try to tie into the Spaculaan sensor net. |
21:07 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] Go ahead and put in the request. Maybe they picked up something we missed. |
21:07 | EnsNguyen: | CNS > :: steps onto the bridge and goes to the counselor's seat:: |
21:08 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: turns back to his console and puts in the request:: |
21:08 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CNS ] Good morning, Counselor. |
21:09 | EnsNguyen: | CNS >[ CO ] Good morning, Captain. |
21:10 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: moves over to the tactical station:: [ TAC ] Rob... :: holds out a data chip:: Run this simulation for me. |
21:11 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ A-XO ] :: takes the chip and inserts it into the auxiliary console:: Aye, Sir. What is it? |
21:11 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ TAC ] I've been running some scenarios on that pulse that hit us. I may have come up with a defense. |
21:12 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ A-XO ] :: smiles:: Nice, Sir. :: runs the simulation:: |
21:13 | =/\=ACTION: It takes several minutes, but Banning gets the approval to link up with the Spaculaan sensor system. =/\= |
21:13 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] I received approval, Captain. Making the connection now. :: enters commands into his console:: |
21:14 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: nods to Banning. Gets up and moves up by tactical.:: |
21:14 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: watches as Andrews runs the program:: |
21:15 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;; finishes up in Sickbay and heads up to the bridge to see what's all going on;; |
21:16 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: frowsn as he sees the dish get fried on the first simulation. :: enters a couple adjustments and runs it again:: [ A--XO ] I think you were a little off on the power signature, Sir. |
21:18 | Cdr_Hart | A-xO > :: looks at the parameters:: [ TAC ] So I was. Good catch, ROb. |
21:19 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: watches the simulation go through. The instant the attacker fires the pulse, the computer reacts and emits a counter pulse from the dish, displacing the first pulse:: |
21:20 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] Looks like you have a winner there, TOm. |
21:20 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] I've been working on it for the last three days. |
21:21 | LtCdrWren: | OPS >[ NOIP ] I'll vouch for that. |
21:21 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: chuckles:: |
21:22 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: chuckles as well:: |
21:23 | EnsNguyen: | CNS > :: smiles at the comraderie between tis bridge crew:: |
21:23 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] Honestly, though, I hope we never have to try it out. |
21:24 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] I don't think we're going to be afforded that luxury. |
21:25 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: nods solemnly in agreement:: |
21:26 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Captain, I went back a few days in the sensor recordings. There wasn't anything on the actual attack and take-over of the P'CHolo, but, there was some data on the one ship we had disabled shields on. |
21:27 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] Can you put it on the screen? |
21:28 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: sends the data to the screen. THe shot is initially an overlay of the Spaculaan Empire. One spot shows where the battle was in the shipping lane:: |
21:29 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: looks at the screen:: |
21:29 | CaptMcCloud | (Doc, did you ever make it to the bridge?) |
21:30 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: looks at the screen as well:: [ SCI ] Can you magnify that, Troy? |
21:30 | Lt_Shadow | (Yes just now and was standing at the back of the bridge) |
21:31 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ A-XO ] Of course, Sir. :: magnifies the region, and individual dots show up.:: The gold one is us, Sir. |
21:31 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;;comes on the bridge and stays at the back to keep from disturbing anyone;; |
21:32 | CaptMcCloud | (There you go. I was waiting for your arrival. ) |
21:32 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CMO ] Good morning, Dr. Shadow. |
21:33 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ SCI ] And the purple ones are the attackers? |
21:33 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ A-XO ] Correct, Sir. And the orange one is the P'Cholo. |
21:34 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>[CO]> Greetings Captain |
21:35 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ SCI ] :: sees the orange dot veer off course.:: And, there coes the P'Cholo. |
21:35 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: watching the drama unfold on the main screen:: |
21:36 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: turns back and looks at the screen, seeing the purple dots take off after the P'Cholo:: And there goe the attackers. We're sitting still, so I'm guessing this is after the pulse. |
21:37 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Correct also, Captain. Note the one purple dot. now heading off in a different direction. |
21:38 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: nods as he watches it go, and notes how the P'Cholo and the other purple dots disappear from the screen:: Pull out the magnification some, Troy. |
21:39 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: does so. THe single dot is still visible, but the P'Cholo and the pursuers are not:: |
21:41 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ NOIP ] Where'd they go? Did they fire a pulse to hide themselves from the Spaculaan sensors? |
21:43 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ A-XO ] I believe they can hide themselves from the Spaculaan sensors, Commander. And they were able to hide the P'Cholo's presence, at lest for a bit. :: taps the console, increasing the time-lapse. Just the P'Cholo re-appears in the spot where the Eagle had found it:: |
21:44 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ NOIP ] Why those clever little... |
21:44 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ A-XO ] Clever indeed. :: cutting Hart off before he says something nasty:: |
21:45 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::eyes still following the single dot:: [ NOIP ] But that one cannot hide itself. Probably because we damaged them? |
21:46 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Exactly what I was thinking, Captain. ANd I don't think they left Spaculaan space... At least not yet. |
21:47 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] Where do you think they went? |
21:48 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] I think... :: speeds up the time-lapse some more, to almost present time:: They are hiding out in this system, Sir. :: highlights an area of Spaculaan space:: |
21:49 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ SCI ] That's Highlander territory, If I remember my Spaculaan sector correctly. |
21:50 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ A-XO ] Give the commander a qewpie-doll. |
21:51 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ SCI ] A what? |
21:51 | LtCdrWren: | OPS > :: giggles and shares a look with Banning:: |
21:51 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: stifles a chuckle:: |
21:52 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: not certain what it is either, but does not say so:: |
21:52 | EnsNguyen: | CNS > :: chuckles lightly:: |
21:53 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ A-XO ] Just suffice it to say you are correct, Commander. |
21:53 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>[A-XO] it's a doll that was usually mostly nude with the hair that came up to a point on the top of the smiley faced cherubichead |
21:54 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;; pulls up a picture of the kewpie doll on the compiter for him |
21:55 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CMO ] Weren't they called Trolls? |
21:55 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>[A-XO] no those were a different style of doll |
21:55 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CMO ] ANd why would he get one for being correct? |
21:56 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>[CO] they were often given out as prizes in county faires |
21:56 | Cdr_Hart | (I remember Troll dolls always being naked and having funny hair at the top of their heads) |
21:57 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: chuckles:: I see. |
21:57 | Lt_Shadow | (true and they were more"chunky" while the kewpies were more like cherubs) |
21:58 | Cdr_Hart | (Okay. Never seen a qewpie doll then. No matter. LOL ) |
21:59 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] It is definitely worth a look then. Launch a probe to go ahead of us, then feed the coordinates to helm. |
21:59 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: starts entering commands into the console:: |

22:02 | CaptMcCloud | Thank you, Doc. |
22:02 | Lt_Shadow | no problem sir |
22:02 | CaptMcCloud | We will have a couple days pass between sims as we make our way across Spaculaan space. |
22:03 | ... | We will be utilizing the sub-mode to disguise the ship as we enter the Highlander area. |
22:03 | .. | Any questions to this point? |
22:03 | Lt_Shadow | ;;rh;; |
22:03 | Cdr_Hart | None from me, Captain. |
