21:01 | CmdrDutcher | Crew is at attention, Captain! ::AA:: |
21:02 | CaptMcCloud | Thank you, Commander. |
21:02 | ... | Good evening, Crew. It is good to see you all, and I hope you've had a good week. |
21:03 | .. | Have you read the brief, and do we have any questions? |
21:03 | Cdr_Hart | Brief read, no questions. |
21:03 | Lt_Andrews | Yes and no, Sir. |
21:03 | Lt_Banning | y/n, Sir. |
21:04 | LtAmeliaMoore | y/n |
21:04 | CmdrDutcher | Yes/No |
21:04 | CaptMcCloud | Excellent. Let's... |

21:05 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::Sitting in the command seat:: |
21:05 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::Sitting in the XO's seat:: |
21:06 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: steps onto the bridge, having finished lunch:: |
21:06 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::at the tactical station:: |
21:06 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::at the science station:: |
21:07 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse> @ ::Heading down to help the people on the planet with her favorite pilot:: |
21:07 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > (Need a correction here) |
21:07 | ... | @ TAC > ::in the shuttle, on the surface of Nigala:: |
21:09 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ Nurse >[ TAC ] well, now that they have their supplies and I have done all I can...now what? |
21:10 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CENG ] Are you ready to get at it, Tom. I want a closer look at the ship debris, we came upon before. |
21:11 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] ::Stops. Looks back to the lift:: I will get right on that, Sir. I'll beam some of it into the cargo bay. ::turns and heads to the lift:: |
21:12 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ Nurse ] We head back to the ship. We will take a spin, about the planet, though and run some more scans. The other shuttle has found another settlement, but there has to be more. |
21:13 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] What do you think he will find in that debris? |
21:14 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Co ] The computer is still running simulations on clearing up the planet's atmosphere, Sir. Do you want me to accompany Commander Hart? |
21:14 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ Nurse >[ TAC ] Well, I am in favor of taking a few spins around and looking for other signs of life |
21:14 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] ::nods:: Go ahead, Mr. Banning. |
21:16 | ... | CO >[ XO ] ::Sighs and shakes his head:: I don't know, Ali. Maybe nothing, maybe some kind of energy residue to help explain what really happened. |
21:17 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > ::waits for Troy, in the lift:: |
21:17 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] It certainly would be nice if it helped us figure out how to save both universes |
21:18 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC > ::gives her a smile:: [ Nurse ] Then, away we go. :: powers the shuttle's thrusters, and lifts off:: |
21:18 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :; steps into the lift:: |
21:19 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ NURSE> ::Sits at a console to search for any other lifesigns not already detected:: |
21:20 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] If we *do* figure this out, and manage to set things right, will we be sending *this* Nigala back to more trouble from the ships on the way? |
21:22 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC > :ets a course, not taken by the other shuttle:: |
21:22 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Unfortuantely, I believe that will be exactly what will happen! :ighed heavily:: I wish there were another way. |
21:23 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: steps from the lift and heads to the cargo bay:: [ SCI ] You want to do the targeting of the debris? |
21:23 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CENG ] My pleasure, Sir. :: moves to the cargo transporter:: |
21:25 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] :: nods:: I agree. So, how do we stop that from happening? Do we try and get ourselves into that other universe, and help *our* people keep *that* Starfleet away? |
21:26 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ Nurse >[ TAC ] ::glances out the window at the planet's devastated surface:: How could anyone think this was a good idea? |
21:26 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::brings the debris up on the sensors:: [ CENG ] How much do you want? |
21:27 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] If we had that ability, I'd suggest just that. Perhaps reason with the aggressor. |
21:27 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ SCI ] If you can, try and lock onto the weapons array. If they were firing any strange energies, it would show there. |
21:29 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] :: gives a slight chuckle:: Do you think someone who could, possibly, inflict that kind of damage... :: points to the image of the badly damaged space station and the scorched planet:: ...would be willing to talk? |
21:30 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ Nurse >[ TAC ] I guess it's just hopeful thinking to hope that some part of the planet had remained unchanged and still able to support life. |
21:30 | =/\=ACTION: @ As Andrews' shuttle get almost halfway around the planet, Moore's sensors show life signs. =/\= |
21:31 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ Nurse ] Wishful thinking is what we do best, Amelia. |
21:31 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ Nurse >[ TAC ] ::Gasps:: More life signs!! |
21:31 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ Nurse ] See that! Send me the coordinates. |
21:32 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ NURSE >[ TAC ] ::Sends the coordinates quickly:: |
21:33 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: carefully studies the debris, then locks onto a large chunk and beams it in:: [ CENG ] Here you go, Commander. |
21:34 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC > ::banks the shuttle and heads for the new coordinates:: |
21:35 | =/\=ACTION: @ The shuttle comes upon an urban area. There are many buildings, and some, former, high rises. Moore sees the life signs are gathered, more in the center of the city. =/\= |
21:36 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > ::watches the piece materialize. Starts running his tricorder over it:: |
21:36 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: moves over to the debris piece. Also, starts scanning it:: |
21:37 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ NURSE >[ TAC ] Look, it's a city, and there are a lot of life signs near the center!! |
21:39 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ Nurse ] Then, that is where we will go. Keep an eye for any other sensor readings. I don't want to get targeted again. :: starts for the heart of the city, but stays low, hopefully to avoid any targeting scanners:: |
21:40 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] I see your point. Diplomacy would not be their first choice, would it? |
21:40 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ Nurse >[ TAC ] Yeah, that wasn't too much fun the first time. |
21:41 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ SCI ] Captain was right to suspect... or, at least have us scan this debris. I'm getting some very strange residual energy readings. |
21:41 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CENG ] Same here. :: furrows brows:: So far, though, the tricorder is not recognizing what we are seeing. |
21:42 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] If we knew more about their weapon, we could, hopefully, find a way to disable it, permanently! |
21:43 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] In my opinion, no. I can't believe anyone, who would call themselves Starfleet, would be so heel-bent on destruction, like this, but... :: doesn't finish, just shakes his head:: |
21:44 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Neither can I, Sir. |
21:45 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ Nurse >[ TAC ] Not getting any other indications of those weapons, at least not so far. |
21:46 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC > :: flies over the buildings, amazed and disgusted, at the destruction they are seeing. Comes to the coordinates:: [ Nurse ] We may be able to land on the roof, of that building. Give it a quick structural scan, to see if it will support the shuttle's weight. |
21:47 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] So, Ali, We need to figure out how to safely send these people to their rightful universe. |
21:47 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ Nurse >[ TAC ] ::nods and scans the building:: It would appear the structural integrity is sufficient to hold the shuttle's weight. |
21:48 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CENG ] Looking at this chunk... It seems to, also, have a slight amount of deterioration. |
21:49 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::Sighs and shakes her head:: [[ CO ] and therein lies the problem, I am not sure there IS a safe return for them. |
21:49 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ SCI ] I noticed that. Could that be from whatever they were using, or from the space station's weapon? |
21:50 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CENG ] I'll pull in some more debris. Some from a more remote area of the ship. :: targets more debris and beams it aboard:: |
21:50 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ Nurse >[ TAC ] Rob, should we inform the Captain we have found more people? |
21:51 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ Nurse ] And, it actually looks as if there is a roof entrance. Taking her down. |
21:53 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] If Commander Hirsch can sufficiently mine *their* wormhole, that may dissuade ships from coming through. |
21:54 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ Nurse ] Good idea. ::taps the comm-console:: +[ Eagle ]+ Sparrow to Eagle. |
21:54 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] For now it might. It's too bad we just can't take them to the planet in our universe, but that would cause a whole slew of other problems. |
21:55 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Captain, Sparrow is calling. |
21:56 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: nods and points to the main screen:: +[ Sparrow ]+ McCloud here. |
21:56 | CmdrDutcher | XO ::chuckles to herself and thinks about an old movie with a Captain Jack Sparrow as she looks to the screen:: |
21:57 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >+[ CO ]+ Sir, we've located another population center. Lt. Moore, and I, are landing now, to check it out. |
21:57 | LtAmeliaMoore | @ Nurse> ::leans over to look at the small screen to see how the Cpatain reacts to this news:: |
21:57 | ... | *Captain |
21:58 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ TAC ]+ :: nods:: Very good, Lieutenant. Please be cautious, and make certain you give yourselves a way out... Just in case. |
21:59 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >+[ CO ]+ Will do, Sir. We'll keep you informed. Sparrow out. |
21:59 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::watches the screen change back, and sighs:: |

22:01 | CaptMcCloud | We shall pick up here, next week. Let's see if we, finally, can get some good answers. Do we have any questions, to this point? |
22:01 | Cdr_Hart | None here, Skipper. |
22:01 | Lt_Andrews | No, Sir. |
22:02 | Lt_Banning | No, Sir. |
22:02 | LtAmeliaMoore | No, Sir. |
22:03 | CmdrDutcher | I have no questions, Sir. |
22:04 | CaptMcCloud | In that case, I have no choice, but to bid you all a good week. Please, stay healthy and safe. Remember thoughts/prayers, for those in need. |
