[●] Commodore Mardel Connor I want to welcome you all out to sim tonight. Lieutenant Sheme is excused tonight for personal reasons. I hope that everyone has had a chance to read the game plan. Any questions?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing RH
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Yes, Nightwing?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing I'm having trouble with my phone so I may not be able to stay the whole sent but I thought I should let you know
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Thank you for letting me know.
No questions about tonight's sim?
Then places everyone and be ready....the Klingons are feeling ornery tonight.
ROCK~N~ROLL
Daniel Connor ::at Helm::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::in ME on the main floor at a console; has the ENG staff cued in and all are up for keeping the power flowing::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Is tempted at the next time she sees the Klingons to give them each a load of tribbles
Lt Sineade Darnell ::in engineering working on keeping the ship powered up::
Ens Sean Darnell ::sitting at OPs waiting for some action::
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale ::sitting in the the security hall flicking through the monitors and interior ship scans::
ACTION: Another torpedo comes at the Aldrin, this time from below it, heading to the underbelly of the ship and Main Engineering sections. The Klingons are sending another invitation to pursue them.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Working in Sickbay to have it ready for the next major casualty event
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Are we ready for the jump?
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::sits at science station trying to not fall out of her seat::
Daniel Connor Yes sir. I’m ready if everyone else is.
ACTION: Two more torpedoes come at the Aldrin, one from above and to the starboard and one from dead behind them.
Daniel Connor ::*looks at his console *::
Ens Sean Darnell ::Sees the torp trail:: Damn they are persisitant little buggars! Incoming, better make it quick!
●● Lt Teayana Starr ::holds the arms of her seat firmly::
ACTION: Impact with the lower decks in 3.....2......1.......
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::wipes the flat of both hands on his trousers; the war games are more intense than he had first thought they would be::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Well don't wait on me. Do it. Like we planned.
Daniel Connor ::takes the ship to warp::
Lt Sineade Darnell ::standing by and awaiting orders, praying that she doesn't get knocked around too much.::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::glances around at the other ENG at their stations::
Daniel Connor Here we go
ACTION: The first torpedo hits the ship but doesn't explode, causing the ship to shake violently, but no damage except to those unprepared for it. The other two torpedoes hit each other and go boom, no damage done.
Ens Sean Darnell Need to move faster! ::glances at Daniel:: They aren't playing anymore!
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale ::focuses his scans and deploys a security team to the location of the impact to assist::
●● Lt Teayana Starr :::holds tightly as she is tossed about in her seat.::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Get shaken up some but is more POed then anything
Lt Sineade Darnell ::gets knocked off her feet and winces from the impact on her hips::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers Firing 360 degrees phasers and locking on all shield impacts.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::gets shook back and forth, keeps ahold of the column and manages not to fall as the ship rocks::
Daniel Connor We’re at warp.
And yeah. I’ve noticed they ain’t playing no more.
●● Lt Teayana Starr Cmdr. House would it be more prudent to jump sooner. We are almost at times.intervals. They have caught on.
Ens Sean Darnell reported injuries, mostly on the lower decks, Sending med crews now!
+Sick Bay+ Ens Darnell to sickbay, injuries reported on decks 39, 40, and 41, please send medical teams Pronto!
○●LtJg Tholan ch'Fairia ::heads to lower decks to help::
ACTION: The Aldrin is halfway to Andor now, travelling in an almost unbroken line from Regulus 1 to Andor. Easy pickings for the Klingons, especially now that they understand the warp spurt, fall out, shoot, and go to warp again pattern. The Klingons wish there were more of a challenge.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Has med teams head to where the injuries are
Daniel Connor We’re at the halfway mark.
Lt Sineade Darnell :: pulls herself back to her feet painfully:: I think they need a change in tactics.
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale +Bridge+I’ve detailed some security teams as well to the damage site as well.
Ens Sean Darnell Might I suggest we alter our course and double back on the Klingons? Come in behind them?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing The med teams start treating the injuries immediately
ACTION: The barrages from the Klingons don't let up, always coming from behind and to the sides. Each now hitting the shields, causing no damage, but shaking the ship up pretty good, making it for a very bumpy and turbulent ride, more people are getting banged up and bruised.
Daniel Connor ::holding his console::
ACTION: None of the Torpedoes come at the same time, always staggered by a few seconds.
●● Lt Teayana Starr What if we shoot towards Thalos Vll
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Treating people in sick Bay
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::walking around the main ME and checking in with each officer, making sure everyone is alright after the shakeup::
●● Lt Teayana Starr We are making a straight bee line. Not even trying to lose them.
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::Looks at house:: Orders? Before we end up shaken and stirred.
Daniel Connor I was looking at that. If we hit there, we can throw them in a loop.
Ens Sean Darnell We know they are to our port and starbord, and below. If we shift up, drop to say Warp 1?
Lt Sineade Darnell ::falls again having been caught trying to get back to the console:: I should put some padding down here. The floor is hell on my newly repaired pelvis!
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers +Drydale+ Good thinking. ::Looking to Teayana a moment, then Sean::They have caught on. You're both right. So, you know how we haven't been using the cloak yet? We're about to and we're not going to Andor yet. We're going to alter course and make them wait. They're going to slip up by doing exactly what they've been doing. On three sides.
●● Lt Teayana Starr Or drop to Warp one head to lorinth warp then nubia to andor
Ens Sean Darnell Just pick one and let's do it!
●● Lt Teayana Starr If we drop warp and let them get ahead we can fire on them before cloaking
Daniel Connor Maybe hit their engines.
Then we cloak, go back to warp and head for Andor
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Goes up to check on the bridge crew after seeing to the injured
Ens Sean Darnell ::smiles:: Now that would be fun!
ACTION: The Klingons attack becomes almost a wall of torpedoes and phasers when the Aldrin attempts to change course, and once cloaked, the keep up the barrage in a solid wall of attacks coming from all around them. Knocking the ship around even more.....and wouldn't you know it, the relays for warp in ME overload and fry, making warp impossible for at least 30 minutes to replace everything
●● Lt Teayana Starr Drop to Warp 5 don't let one more torpedo hit
Daniel Connor ::drops to warp 4::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::all hell breaks loose in ME as everyone scrambles to deal with the fried relays::
Lt Sineade Darnell ::is knocked back as the relays for the warp engine overloads:: We've lost the Warp engine!
Daniel Connor Dropped to Warp 4 instead
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Those stepsons of Gre'thor need to get their own brain Scramble for a bit
ACTION: The Aldrin drops completely out of warp...the warp engines are NOT working right now. Impulse is the best we can do at the moment.
Ens Sean Darnell We are losing Warp altogether!
we need the cloak on now
●● Lt Teayana Starr Do we have enough energy to cloak?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Emergency power is on the in sickbay, pull what you need
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers +Engineering+ We need those warp engines back up Mister Langley. ::Glances over his shoulder.:: Danvers, unload everything on one of them first, use the Phaser Lance, then do as Miss Starr said, cloak.
Ens Sean Darnell ::looks over his shoulder at Starr:: I really hope so!
ACTION: The barrage lightens up a little as the Aldrin stalls out.
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers It would be my pleasure. ::Tapping on her console::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley +House+ We are on it, Commander. ETA right now is about 20 mins. We're working on shaving that down a bit if we can
Lt Sineade Darnell ::struggles with the rest of the engineers to get Warp back up and running:: This will take at least 30 minutes!
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::continues to try and plot the enemy using sensors::
Daniel Connor I don’t get what happened. We lost warp.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::to Sineade Darnell:: They don't call us engineers miracle workers for nothing Lt.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Drops a marble and 3 walnut shell halves on the navi console
Daniel Connor ::scans for somewhere for the Aldrin to hang low::
Lt Sineade Darnell ::chuckles:: Right, 20 minutes or less, we're on it Sir
::starts to organize the engineers so they are working faster and with less chaos::
●● Lt Teayana Starr Mr. Connor head between Lorilla lll and Nibia
ACTION: The Klingons keep up a light barrage, as if letting the Aldrin know they are still there and waiting for them, even cloaked, the Klingons have an idea of where they are
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing +Sineade+ emergency power is on in sick Bay use what you need of our usual allotment
Ens Sean Darnell ::continues to monitor the power situation::
++Nightwing++ Thanks, but if we don't fix the relays it won’t make much difference.
ACTION: As if on cue, as soon as the Aldrin, on impulse and cloaked, turn to Lorilla III, the barrage starts up again, heavy, coming at them from the direction of Lorilla III, almost like a wall, preventing them from passing.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing +Sineade+ understood just letting you know
Daniel Connor ::heads towards Lorilla III::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::minutes tick by, feeling like hours as the distressed ENG dept. continues to work as fast as everyone can::
Ens Sean Darnell ::swears under his breath:: What did they do, launch every fighter they had?
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley +House+ We have half of the warp relays up again.... keep it under warp 4 for now.
ACTION: The Klingons hail the Aldrin....audio only.
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Wait until we've been headed that way for two minutes. We have a surprise for them they aren't going to see coming. ::motions:: On speakers.
Lt Sineade Darnell ::Keeps passing replacements parts to the teams to get it fixed as fast as they can:: About another 7 minutes, Lt Cmdr
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::trys using the comm signal to pin point the lead ship::
ACTION: Direct hit in the foreward shields, knocking them down by 10% as they attempt to head to Lorrilla III.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Mutters at the Klingons-- go kiss a tribble
Ens Sean Darnell Shields down to 80%
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::jumps on the shielding damage from a nearby console; dispatches ENGs to check physical condition of the shield generators::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Kara, deploy the armor, drop cloak. Engage all of them and show our teeth. Connor, attack pattern sierra epsilon five. Show us you're a leaf on the wind.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley :: to Sineade Darnell:: Good work. ::to all:: everyone keep at it
●● Lt Teayana Starr Dammit! ::Her head bangs against the back of her seat::
Male Klingon Voice: Do you surrender Aldrin? We have no wish to make you dead in the water, but we will if we need to, to win.
Lt Sineade Darnell ::concentrates on getting warp back up..:: Almost there, Sir!
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers I'd give real money if he'd shut up. ::executing the orders given::
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Sir i have an idea.
ACTION: All the torpedoes that have been fired and have landed on the Aldrin are weak at best, not to cause real damage, just to prod the Aldrin on.
Ens Sean Darnell ::smirks at the leaf on the wind comment::
Daniel Connor ::looks at Joy::
Ens Sean Darnell Me thinks they want us to go thatta way, let's not and say we did!
Lt Sineade Darnell ::the engineering team is getting the last of the relays into place as quickly as possible::
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Piss him off some how.....the madder he gets the more likely he will make a mistake!
ACTION: The Klingons watch as the Aldrin turns into a turtle. They rub their hands together, this means they can stop with the baby steps and really get down and dirty. It's still radio silence between the Klingon ships.
Daniel Connor That would work with them. ::alters course to Nibia::
●●● Cmdr House Just the armor would piss them off as well as if Danvers can hit any of them. ::Giving a glare to her::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers What? I am hitting them, either the instruments aren't registering or they're cheating.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Or use a decoy to make them think we did
●● Lt Teayana Starr Dean! ::Said in a quiet hiss::
ACTION: A quantum torpedo is fired at the Aldrin, and hits as it makes it's turn, causing damage to the plating protecting the Aldrin and causing an other overload in Engineering, this time with the shields, as all BUT the plate shields go down in an impressive fireworks display from the shield generators die.
Daniel Connor ::falls out of his seat from the torpedo hit::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Gets back to sickbay, she's going to be needed there
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley Ack!!! ::hollers in pain as console fries and burns all ten of his fingers::
::goes to the first aid station and rinses his hands in cold water::
Lt Sineade Darnell ::is thrown against one of the consoles::
Ens Sean Darnell ::Gets knocked from his seat, scrambles back to it and chesks the systems:: We've lost shields!
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Tachyons scan! ::yelling over the exploding controls::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers What? ::looks to Teayana::
Lt Sineade Darnell ::a little disoriented but moves towards the sound of CJ's shout:: CJ Are you alright?
●● Lt Teayana Starr :: sprawled out on the floor with a bloodied nose::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers They aren't cloaked, Joy..they just apparently aren't taking any damage no matter how much I hit them. The Phaser Lance should have 'game' wise torn them to shreds.
Daniel Connor ::grabs hold of his console and climbs back into his seat with a busted head::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers +Sickbay+ Medical team to the Bridge. ::Getting up to check Teayana.::
Ens Sean Darnell ::mumbles:: Klingons never play fair!
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::to Sineade Darnell:: Yeah. I'll live. ::holds up both hands:: It's mostly 1st degree burns. ::chuckles::
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::pushes her hair out of her face:: No tachyons will cause them to cloak dropping there sheilds
ACTION: The phaser lance hit a hologram and tore it to pieces, but not a Klingon ship. Yes, the Klingons play wargames all the time with all kinds of toys, they know how to play these games well.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::looks around at the others, all appear to be head down, nose to the grindstone::
Lt Sineade Darnell :: here, I'll get the first aid kit, keep them in the water for now.
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers The Deployable armor also shouldn't have taken it like that either. It can take on Borg Cubes and shake it off. Something is up.
●● Lt Teayana Starr ::gets up and wipes her nose on her sleeve:: I'm fine.
Daniel Connor Engines are a mess. I only have half impulse.
Lt Sineade Darnell ::grabs the med kit and treats CJ's burns and sprays on a burn covering to protect his fingers:: That should do for now.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing +House+ when we finally catch those sons of Gre'thor, I'm wanting to play hacky sack with their family jewels
Ens Sean Darnell I told ya, they don't play fair, and they fight even less fair
FREEZE
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::frozen::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Popsicle
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers ::Chills::
Daniel Connor :frozen::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers ::Frezeles::
Lt Sineade Darnell ::Turns to Ice Sculpture::
Ens Sean Darnell ::Ice King has arrived::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor AT EASE
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Melt
Daniel Connor :thaws::
Lt Sineade Darnell ::AE::
●● Lt Teayana Starr ::hums Let it Go::
Ens Sean Darnell ::strikes a pose::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::ae::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers ::Sings Let it Go::
●● Lt Teayana Starr ::joins Kara::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Great job tonight, everyone. A few things I want to mention:
A) The shell plate shields CAN repulse the Borg Cubes, but not Quantums, the Borg's use other kinds of weapons that operate on a rotating algorithm.
B) Things going wrong in Engineering is because of all the stop and go, full force, stop, full force, stop, etc, putting unforeseen stress on the systems. Something that will have to be addressed when we get to Andor.
C) I've given plenty of clues about the Klingon's tactics, and so far, no one has really caught on. I am not going to tell you outright what will win the day with them, you have to figure it all out. And finally,
D) I would LOVE to see some logs from this sim this week. A lot happened. Time Between Sims will be the golden 20 minutes to finish repairs on the Warp engines and attempt to get the shields back online, at least partially. Right now, the only thing protecting the Aldrin is that shell plate shielding.
Any questions?
●● Lt Teayana Starr No ma'am.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing No ma'am but I need to talk to you after the sim
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor If there are no questions, then Commander, say your peace and let em go.
●● Lt Teayana Starr I'm out guys. It's been a struggle to hang in tonight. Not doing well at all. Good night.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Take care Teaya
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Excellent job everyone. I apologize for dropping the ball. About 10 minutes in I started feeling like I was going to need to throw up. Mind not exactly looking through the Captain's little sneaky stuff. Still good job, and ideas. Now we need to figure out how they have holoships and why, and look into getting past detecting the photon particles so we can find the real ones. Also..I think we have a saboture , since the armor shouldn't have done that like it did. Everyone have a good week, be safe. Scoots.
