21:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, Crew. We may not have our XO with us, tonight, as her mun is on the way to Hawaii. She has been sent there by the Red Cross. |
21:02 | ... | Have you read the brief, and do we have any questions? |
21:02 | Cdr_Hart | Awesome job, XO. Brief read, no questions, Skipper. |
21:02 | Lt_Andrews | Yes and no, Sir. And, kudos to the XO. |
21:03 | Lt_Banning | y/n, Sir. |
21:03 | CaptMcCloud | Excellent. Let's... |
21:03 | ... | =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\= |
21:03 | NOTE: Character names, appearing in GREEN, indicate NPCs. |
21:04 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::On the shuttle deck, where Hart and crew, are ready to go:: |
21:05 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] Are you certain you won't mind losing a shuttle, Cap? |
21:05 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: on the bridge at tactical:: |
21:07 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: on the bridge at sciences:: |
21:08 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CENG ] :: smiles:: I'm sure you can whip up a replacement, Tom, and as you stated, this weapon could require a considerable power source. And, you'll be able to take her right into the engineering space. |
21:09 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] :: nods in agreement:: Once we get the doors open. :: smirks:: |
21:09 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CENG ] I have full confidence in you. :: stops himself from chuckling:: |
21:10 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: sees the "twinkle" in the captain's eyes:: [ CO ] Gee thanks, Cap. See you in a bit. |
21:11 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CENG ] Good luck, Tom. We will have a transporter lock on you at all times. |
21:12 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] Will do, Sir. ::turns and boards the shuttle:: |
21:12 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::backs away, and retreats to the control room to watch them depart:: |
21:13 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: double checks the equipment and has his team set, then moves to the helm. Requests permission to depart:: |
21:14 | LtCdrWren | OPS > :: gets Tom's message and clears it through the XO, then sends the "Okay" back:: |
21:15 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: smiles at Hailey's personal touch to the message, and powers the shuttle off the deck, and out the invisible barrier:: |
21:16 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::watches the shuttle's progress on his board, and makes certain they make it safely:: |
21:16 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: watches the shuttle leave, then heads for the bridge:: |
21:17 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: also watching the shuttle's progress, silently wishing Tom a safe mission:: |
21:20 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG > :: maneuvers the shuttle toward the battered space station. Locates the huge access doors, which would take them into main engineering.:: [ Team ] We're going to have to attach battery packs to each side of the doors. That should allow the motors to work. |
21:21 | LtjgHomer | @ Eng1 >[ CENG ] I'll volunteer for the space walk, Sir. |
21:21 | EnsLonson | @ Eng2 >[ CENG ] I will also, Sir. |
21:22 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG >[ Eng1/Eng2 ] ::gives them a nod:: Suit up. |
21:23 | =/\=ACTION: @ The two engineers quickly don their EVA suits, as Hart positions the shuttle. =/\= |
21:23 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG >[ Eng1/Eng2 ] We are in position. Open the hatch. |
21:24 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: glances to the main screen, which is focused on the team:: |
21:25 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: steps off the lift, onto the bridge. Gets filled in by Dutcher, and sits down to observe:: |
21:25 | =/\=ACTION: @ The two engineers exit the rear of the shuttle, and propel themselves to the station's hull. =/\= |
21:26 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG > :: watches their progress, ready to assist either of them if he has to:: |
21:27 | LtjgHomer | @ Eng1 > ::clamps his mag-holds to the station's door, and starts to make his way to the left of the shuttle:: |
21:28 | EnsLLonson | @ Eng2 > :: mag-locks onto the door and moves to the right of the shuttle.:: |
21:29 | =/\=ACTION: @ The procedure takes about fifteen minutes, for each engineer to get the power packs in place. Lonson signals he is ready to open the doors. =/\= |
21:30 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG >+[ Eng1 ]+ Go ahead, Samson. I'll back the shuttle in, once the doors are open. |
21:32 | Lt.j.g.Homer | @ Eng1 > :: gives Hart a "thumbs-up" and works the manual controls on the hull. It takes a moment, but the doors start opening.:: |
21:33 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: gives a small smile as the doors start to open:: |
21:33 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::gives a subtle nod of approval:: |
21:35 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG > :: As soon as the doors are open, sufficient enough, moves the shuttle inside. Watches Eng1 and Eng2 drift inside the space, and hold onto the shuttle as it moves into place:: |
21:35 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ NOIP ] And, they are in. I do have a lock on all of them, Captain. |
21:36 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::directs scans out, around the area:: |
21:37 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] :: nods:: Thank you, Hailey. Can you get a feed from their ev-suit cameras? |
21:38 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Of course, sir. :: checks to see which cameras are online, then puts them on the main screen:: |
21:39 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG > :: along with Lt.Oearth, dons his suit, then grabs equipment and exits the shuttle.:: [ ALL ] We're going to need to extend the power cables over to that corner, over there. :: points to where the weapon is.:: |
21:40 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::watches the team's progress on the main screen:: |
21:41 | Lt.j.g.Homer | @ Eng1 >[ CENG ] You got it, Sir. :: starts working with the power cables:: |
21:42 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG > :: moves over to the weapon, and starts the repairs to make it functional, again:: |
21:43 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Co ] Sir? Should we leave instructions for the Nigalans on how to properly set that weapon up, for when they are back in their universe? |
21:44 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] :: considers this a moment:: Yes, Troy. Prepare a data file that we can transmit prior to firing everything up. |
21:44 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: turns back to his console and preps the data file:: |
21:45 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG > :: starts replacing the parts that were damaged, the most, but not changing the configuration of the device:: |
21:47 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ co ] ::turns to McCloud:: Sir? Aren't you concerned about leaving Starfleet technology behind? |
21:49 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] I've given it a lot of consideration. In this case, no. They are going to require that shuttle's power to work that weapon properly, and once it's in that other universe... :: shrugs:: I think the Nigalans will make good use of it. Any sensitive data has been wiped from it computer core. |
21:50 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Of course, Sir. That makes sense. |
21:51 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ NOIP ] It's not like leaving the shuttle on a pre-warp planet. :: smiles:: |
21:51 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Co ] I will leave information about the shuttle in the data file, Sir. |
21:52 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] ::nods, again:: Thank you, Lieutenant. |
21:53 | EnsLonson | @ Eng2 > :: assisting Homer, with the cables:: |
21:54 | =/\=ACTION: The operation takes almost two hours, to complete. Finally the team has everything in place. =/\= |
21:54 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG >[ Team ] Nice work, guys. Now to power it up and make sure it doesn't destroy us all. |
21:55 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: stifles a chuckle at Hart's words:: +[ CENG ]+ It better not explode, Commander. I'm not committing a second shuttle. :: smiles to himself:: |
21:56 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG >+[ CO ]+ Got it, Sir. Oh, and thanks for worrying about us. |
21:57 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::lets out a soft chuckle:: |
21:57 | LtOearth | @ Eng3 > ::i'll activate the remote control from the shuttle:: |
21:58 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG >[ Eng3 ] Sounds good. Homer, Lonson, get back on the opposite side of the shuttle. |
21:59 | =/\=ACTION: @ Oearth activates the control, and the indicator lights on the weapon all come to life. =/\= |
21:59 | Cdr_Hart | @ CENG >+[ ALL ]+ Looks like we have a winner. |
21:59 | CaptMcCloud | =/\= Pause Sim =/\= |

22:00 | Lt_Andrews | ::aa:: |
22:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
22:02 | CaptMcCloud | Great work. We will not be simming, next week, as it is my CGAux meeting. Also, there is a possibility we will not sim, in two weeks, as I might be having an evening out with my wife. I will let everyone know if that happens. Do we have any questions? |
22:02 | Cdr_Hart | Ooo! An evening out... in the middle of the week. Oo-la-la! Oh, no questions, Sir. |
22:03 | Lt_Andrews | No questions, Sir. :: shakes his head at Hart:: |
22:03 | Lt_Banning | No, Sir. That evening out sound like fun. |
22:04 | CaptMcCloud | Everyone have a great week. Stay healthy and safe. Remember prayers/thoughts for those in need. |
