21:00 | Lt_Andrews | ::aa:: |
21:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
21:00 | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, Crew. I hope you are all feeling well. |
21:01 | ... | Have you read the brief and do we have any questions? |
21:01 | Cdr_Hart | Yes and no, Skipper. |
21:01 | Lt_Andrews | Yes and no, Sir. |
21:01 | Lt_Banning | Y/N, Sir. |
21:02 | CaptMcCloud | Excellent. Let's get started. |
21:02 | ... | =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\= |
21:02 | >NOTE: Names in GREEN indicate NPCs. |
21:03 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: steps on to the bridge from the ready room:: [ ALL ] Give me some good news people. |
21:04 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: in the command seat, just gives the captain a look:: |
21:04 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: still looking at his sensors:: |
21:06 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: looks to the captain and shakes his head:: |
21:07 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: frowns, then looks to science:: [ SCI ] Mr. Banning? |
21:09 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: turns to the captain:: [ CO ] I have determined the facility goes 50 meters deep into the planet's surface. I cannot verify how deeply the sensor nullifer material goes, Sir. |
21:10 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ NOIP ] We could use a good digger probe. |
21:12 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] :: looks with raised brows to Hart:: Is there such a thing? |
21:13 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] Unfortunately no. :: slight frown. Moves to the XO's seat:: |
21:14 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ NOIP ] What about beaming a probe into the planet deep enough to be able to check out those lower levels? |
21:14 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: glances, again, over to Banning:: |
21:16 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] It would be possible to beam one in, Sir, provided we cleared a spot for it first. I'm not sure how effective the sensors would be, but it would be worth a shot. |
21:18 | LCdrWren: | OPS > :: furrows her brow at Banning's answer, wondering about the clearing a spot part of it, then her face brightens:: [ CO ] We could to it, Sir. The transport would have to be almost instantaneous, removing the earth and replacing it witho ur probe. |
21:19 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS/SCI ] Get whomever we need to get on it! |
21:20 | LCdrWren: | OPS > :: nods and looks over to Banning:: |
21:21 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: exchanges the look with Haily:: I will prepare the probe. |
21:21 | LCdrWren: | OPS >[ SCI ] Just let me know which type. |
21:22 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ OPS ] Makie it for a Class 2. |
21:22 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: sits down in the command seat, watching:: |
21:23 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] Sometimes I think Nguyen's suggestion mught not be a bad idea. |
21:24 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] Looking to show off the sleek phyysique? |
21:25 | LCdrWren: | OPS >[ CO ] :: still entering commands into the console:: Not without me, he's not. |
21:26 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: chuckles:: [ CO ] I guess not... now. |
21:26 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: chuckles:: |
21:27 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] Captain. I also wonder if it wouldn't behoove us to move out of orbit and take up a position where we might not be seen, but can still receive the probe's data. |
21:28 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ TAC ] That might not be a bad idea, Rob. They could very well be watching us, and they won't make any moves while we're hovering above them. |
21:30 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] There's no moon to hide behind, so we'd have to go to the next planet out. |
21:31 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] What about it, Troy? Will we be able to receive the probe's data from the next planet out? |
21:32 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] I can tell you better once we get the probe into place. |
21:33 | LCdrWren: | OPS CO/SCI Alright, I have the program ready. The computer will handle the beaming out of hte earth and replacing it with the probe. |
21:33 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO/OPS ] I have the probe ready to go, Sir. |
21:34 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI/OPS ] Let's do it. |
21:35 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: launches the probe to go just out in front of the ship:: |
21:36 | LCdrWren: | OPS > ::locks onto the probe, then executes her program.:: |
21:38 | =/\=ACTION: The computer does its job, removing enough earth, below the surface of the planet, and replacing just as quickly witht eh probe, which starts transmitting data immediately A probe-sized glob of dirt appears in front of he ship, =/\= |
21:39 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] It's working, Sir, and yes. If we move out to the fifth planet, we will still receive the data. |
21:39 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Take us out of orbit, Mr. Toine. Out to the fifth planet. |
21:40 | EnsToine: | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: taps the console, taking the sip out of orbit:: |
21:42 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] If we put ourselves in an orbit above the nort pole, Captain, there should be enough intereference to mask us from an listening devices.... and yes, we will still get clear reception. |
21:43 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] Smart thinking, Lieutenant. Helm, make it so. |
21:44 | EnsToine: | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: takes the ship to the north pole of the fifth planet in the system and "parks" her:: { CO ] Orbit achieved, Sir. |
21:45 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Thank you, Ensign. :: clances over to Banning who is hard at work:: |
21:46 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] If they saw us leave, they might be more open to trying something. |
21:47 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] They have noticed we left, Captain. There are now more active sensor beams searching around. |
21:48 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] Maybe we should send out a mimic-drone. |
21:48 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] :: nods:: Make it so. Make it anice leisurely ride out of the system. |
21:49 | LCdrWren: | OPS >{ CO ] I got it, Captain. :: tapping on her console. :: Drone is ready... launching. |
21:50 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] Thank you, Hailey. |
21:51 | LCdrWren: | OPS >[ CO ] It also has a reporting sensor to determine if is being watched. Mr. Andrews should be seeing it now. |
21:51 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] Confirmed, Captain. They're watching it leave, and it looks like us. |
21:52 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ NOIP ] Let's hope it does its job. |
21:54 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Captain, the probe is functioning perfectly. The lower levels are not nullified. Anything below 20 meters is now visible to us. |
21:55 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] That's the break we need, Troy. :: looks back to Andrews:: [ TAC ] Great suggestion, Lieutenant. |
21:56 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ NOIP ] Now the hope is, they don't discover our probe. |
21:56 | LCdrWren: | OPS >[ A-XO ] Even if they do, we'll still have dood data on the facility. |
21:57 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ NOIP ] If they DON'T detect the probe, we could actually use its data to be able to beam into the facility ourselves. |
21:59 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ TAC ] That would be possible. I'm getting a good "look" into the place. I can see life signs and different floor layouts. |
22:00 | CaptMcCloud | =/\= Pause Sim =/\= |
22:00 | Cdr_Hart | ::AA:: |
22:00 | Lt_Andrews | ::aa:: |
22:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
22:01 | CaptMcCloud | Great work, all. We'll have a couple hours pass between sims, maybe even a day, that we'll have spent looking and watching. Any questions? |
22:01 | Cdr_Hart | None, Sir. |
22:01 | Lt_Andrews | No, Sir. |
22:01 | Lt_Banning | None, Sir. |
22:02 | CaptMcCloud | Alright then... Have a fantastic week. Stay safe and distant. |
22:02 | ... | Dismissed. |
