21:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, Crew. Good to see you tonight. I hope you enjoyed your week off, last week. |
21:01 | ... | Have you all read the brief and do we have any questions? |
21:01 | Cdr_Hart | Had peaceful week, brief read, no questions. |
21:02 | Lt_Andrews | Yes and no, Sir. |
21:02 | Lt_Banning | y/n, Sir |
21:02 | CaptMcCloud | Excellent. Let's... |
21:02 | ... | =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\= |
21:02 | NOTE: Names in GREEN indicate NPCs. |
21:03 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: on the bridge, cup of coffee at his side:: |
21:04 | EnsToinej | HELM> :: checks course:: [ CO ] We are on approach to the High System, Sir. |
21:04 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > ::in the XO's seat:: |
21:04 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::at tactical, as usual:: |
21:05 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: at the science console, on the bridge:: |
21:05 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Take us th three-quarter impulse and to the planet, Ensign. |
21:09 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. 3/4 impulse to the planet. ::taps on his board:: |
21:10 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] The two made the shift to impulse, and is still attached, Captain. |
21:10 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :cans High space for any signs of ships:: |
21:11 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: also scanning the system, looking for anything unusual:: |
21:11 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] Thank you, Commander. |
21:13 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Also, Sir. I've sent a message to High Command, to let them know we're coming and... there is no response. |
21:13 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] Should we get worried about this? ::looks to McCloud:: |
21:14 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] It's always a possibility. I mean, they were looking to take over the Frinkta base, so why not the planet High? |
21:15 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] I will give a thorough scan of the capitol, when we arrive in orbit, Sir. |
21:16 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] ::gives a nod of appreciation to Banning:: |
21:17 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Assuming standard orbit, now captain. |
21:18 | CaptMcCloud | CO > {{watches the planet get closer and then the ship goes into orbit.:: [ OPS ] Try and raise our "friends" on the planet, Commander, and I don't mean the Highlanders. |
21:19 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Any, Sir. Sending a hail directly to the friendly, neighborhood bug plant. |
21:19 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > ::chuckles at his wife's response:: |
21:20 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :teps on to the bridge and goes to the CNS seat:: |
21:20 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::directs scans to the capitol city on High:: |
21:21 | =/\=ACTION: SCans show no insectoids in the capitol city itself, jut in the warehouse building on the outskirts. =/\= |
21:22 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] No signsof the insectoids within the city, Captain. |
21:23 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] Thank you, Lieutenant. Keep a watch on that... Just in case. [ OPS ] Commander, try and open a channel to the Highlander capitol. |
21:25 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :pens the channel. Furrows her brows:: Sir, te channel is open, and I am receiving a image. |
21:25 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] On screen, Commander. |
21:26 | =/\=ACTION: Wren puts the image on the screen. It initially shows an empty control room. Suddenly two people come into view, sans-clothing, and kissing and carressing one another. =/\= |
21:26 | CaptMcCloud | ::CO > ::raises brows:: |
21:27 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > Now, that's entertainment. |
21:27 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :: merely nods in agreement:: |
21:27 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::raises brows at the sight:: |
21:28 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ H-Base ]+ Highlaner Control. This is Captain McCLoud of the USS Eagle. |
21:29 | H1 | @ Man > :: looks around, confused at the sound of the voice. Goes back to his partner:: |
21:30 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > ::tries not to laugh:: |
21:30 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ H1 ]+ Sir. Over here, on the communications console. |
21:31 | H1 | @ Man > :tops what he is doing, and looks around, again:: |
21:32 | H2 | @ Woman >::is kind of spread out on the desk, looks up.:: There. Grig. :oints tot he monitor with teh people on it:: |
21:32 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::gives a small wave:: |
21:33 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO> ::gives a small wave as well:: |
21:33 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: merely looks on:: |
21:35 | H1 | @ Man > ::looks at the monitor and furrows his brows. Gets up and walks toward the screen:: +[ CO ]+ Oh, hello. Who are you? |
21:35 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ NOIP ] ::mutters:: Oh there it is, full frontal. |
21:36 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::raises brows and cannot help but smile:: |
21:36 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ H1 ]+ I am Captain McCloud of the Federation starship Eagle. We just wanted to let you know we were in orbit. |
21:37 | EnsNguyen | CNS > ::is quite amused by this:: |
21:38 | @ Man >+[ CO ]+ Oh, Cool! Good to have you in orbit, Captain. ::turns and goes back to his partner:: |
21:39 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::raises brows, watches a moment as the man gets "busy" again, then motions for Wren to cut the transmission.:: |
21:40 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] I tell you, this place is ripe for a take-over. Why do you suppose the bugs haven't done so? |
21:41 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] One can only wonder, Tom. Once can only wonder. |
21:41 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] I am getting a response from teh warehouse, Captain. |
21:42 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] ::nods:: On screen, Commander. |
21:42 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] I'm kind of surprised they're responding. |
21:42 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::looks to the screen:: |
21:43 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::also looks to the screen:: |
21:45 | A1 | @ Man >+[ CO ]+ ::a Orion male appears on the screen:: What do you want, Eagle? |
21:46 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ A1 ]+ I would like to speak with your leader. |
21:46 | A1 | @ Man >+[ CO ]+ I am the leader, Captain, now what do you want. |
21:48 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ A1 ]+ I don't believe you are, at lest I hope not. Anyhow, we are towing a ship that might be of interest to some on the base. |
21:49 | A1 | @ Man >::looks away fromt the screen momentarily:: +[ CO ]+ Why would we be interested in that old thing, Captain? |
21:50 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ A1 ]+ More for the cargo it carries, than the ship itself. ::nods to Banning to transmit images from the interior:: |
21:51 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: transmits the images of the insectoids aboard:: |
21:51 | A1 | @ Man > ::looks at the screen, raises brows momentarily, then looks off screen again:: |
21:52 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] Captain, I am detecting a power build up on the surface, in the area of the warehouse. |
21:53 | =/\=ACTION: Just as Andrews finishes saying that, and energy beam comes up from the planet and destroys the helpless freighter. =/\= |
21:54 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ NOIP ] What the f... ::as the ship shakes from the shockwave:: |
21:54 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] Shields are up, but I'm not reading any other energy build-ups. |
21:56 | A1 | @ Man >+[ CO ]+ Uh, no. We're not interested. ::gives a very toothy grin:: Anything else, Captain? |
21:56 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :cans the ship debris, but finds no signs of life:: |
21:59 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ A1 ]+ So, I see. We have no real "teeth" here, because we are in Spaculaan space, but we will warn you; we have an idea what you're doing here. The Spaculaans and the Frinkta know what you are doing here, and it will not succeed. You might as well pack it up now. |
22:00 | A1 | @ Man >+[ CO ]+ We have no idea what you are referring to, Captain. Have a good day. |
22:00 | CaptMcCloud | =/\= Pause Sim =/\= |
22:00 | Cdr_Hart | ::AA:: |
22:00 | Lt_Andrews | ::aa:: |
22:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
22:01 | CaptMcCloud | Well, it looks like they don't feel threatened, and they will be fodder for another time. For now, we will have some more time pass between sims and a new plot. Any questions? |
22:02 | Cdr_Hart | None, Sir. |
22:02 | Lt_Andrews | None, Captain. |
22:02 | Lt_Banning | No, Sir. |
22:02 | CaptMcCloud | Great. Have a good week. |
22:02 | ... | Dismissed. |
