●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Thank you Captain.
●● Lt Teayana Starr Happy birthday Brat
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :AA::
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor
I realize that with so many missing and so many in key positions, we will have to modify tonight's sim some. So due to the magic of Simming, Tsuruchi has been healed and is recovering. We are in the nebula, doing repairs, so we will be working a lot on that. Tsuruchi can be working on a way to get home. I am also going to have sec/tac helping with both planning and doing repairs.
Also, tomorrow is Lt Drysdale's birthday, so happy birthday to him as well. I will post a big picture tomorrow for it.
So, any questions about tonight's sim?
●● Lt. Flower Sheme no sir
●● Lt Teayana Starr are you and I gonna party while they work?
●● Lt. Daniel Connor No questions
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor ::Chuckles:: No, we will be dealing with logistics. Daniel, I'll have you helping with repairs.
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Ok
●● Lt Teayana Starr dang, okay
● Ensign Sineade Darnell No questions
●● Lt. Flower Sheme want Flower also helping?
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor Since there are no questions. Places everyone.

● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::in the port nacelle with the repair team::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :: catches up with Darnell:: hey there
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::turns around and waves her hand:: Hi, what are you doing up here?
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor House, will you take help Langley with repairs?
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::is monitoring all three nacelle repair teams by visiting each site personally, getting needed supplies as determined::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme I wanted to help, and also let you know how well your idea worked
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::frowns slightly:: It didn't work that well if we are making repairs
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor ::Heads to the observation lounge and calls up the map of the sectors in question::
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale ::is in the security hall organizing work teams ::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme : pats his shoulder: no one is perfect :: helps Darnell with his repairs::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::currently is in a space suit overseeing the 2nd nacelle repair team; the entire deck now requires a suit until the outer hull plating is in place and secured for and forcefields or air pressurization can be done::
● Ensign Oelh "Joy" Tsuruchi SL1> ::running various plans on how to get home. Thirty different PADDS spread across the floor desk and other furniture::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Yeah. ::pushes up from the chair:: I'm good with that. ::Grumbling still about the Armor shell not working like advertised::
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::helps with repairing the nacelles; he wants his engines back quick::
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor ::Smiles at House:: When we get home, you can launch a complaint.
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::holds a panel aside : Can you hold this for a minute?
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :: holds the panel:: of course I can hey Daniel!
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Hey Flower
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers I plan on it. ::stepping into the Turbolift::
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::smiles::
● Ensign Sineade Darnell Thanks :: begins to repair the conduits behind the panel::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Danvers> ::steps over to her tactical station::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme I see you really want your engines back
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale Satisfied by the rotations of the other shifts now lending hands but still giving adequate time to sleep between them he exits the security hall and wanders around doing odds and ends and occasionally launching more scans around the ship to make sure they were truly alone
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::glances over her shoulder:: His engines?
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor ::Looks over as an ops alert catches her attention. On long range scanners, a couple of Trill vessels have begun checking out the debris field::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme sorry... :: winces as she made that mistake
● Ensign Sineade Darnell Ha! Don't think so.
●● Lt Teayana Starr :::touring the corridors to see if needed before heading to the lounge to help the captain:::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::it always frays his nerves working this closely to the core of a nacelle like this; even powered down completely as it is right now, the radiation alone is problematic, even in a suit:: ::helps repair team two as two officers go outside to lazer weld the plating on the outside and the other 2 officers will do the same here on the inside::
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor ::She keeps coming back to the rift in Cardassian space. Somehow, that was the key.:: =/\= Tsuruchi, do you still have the scans on that anomaly in Cardassian space?
●● Lt. Daniel Connor They’re technically her engines Flower
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Computer, locate Commander Langley.
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::laughs and pets her::
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale ::nods as he passes by Starr.::lieutenant.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme I should have known that! Claws! I am foolish
●● Lt. Daniel Connor It’s ok
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :: purrs::
●● Lt. Daniel Connor I just fly the ship. But I can’t do that without the engines
●● Lt. Flower Sheme you are a Navigator
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::shakes her head and grumble to her self:: Cé a cheapann sé atá sé? (Just who does he think he is?)
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley COMPUTER> Commander Langley is on engineering deck by the 2nd nacelle. The entire deck is without environmentals and will require permission from Langley and a suit to enter
● Ensign Oelh "Joy" Tsuruchi + Yes ma'am umm... :: starts moving PADDS to see which on is the right one:: Found it. Sorry still little sore.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme Darnell is a Tinker
●● Lt Teayana Starr ::nods back to Drysdale.::: Are you doing okay Lieutenant?
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Danvers> I'm not getting any signals or comm chatter still, Captain.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::watches as the inside two engineers do a perfect job of sealing the hull plating; the outside team reports they are done and begin making their way to the nearest airlock::
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale Surprisingly i came out unscathed
●● Lt. Daniel Connor I’m also a flyer Flower.
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale You?
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers I'm pretty sure that the XO doesn't need the CEO's permission. ::However, did go to get a suit and put it on.::
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor =/\= I understand, Tsuruchi. I want you to run scans on those. Is it possible that rift was created by the Cardassians and isn't naturally occurring?
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::looks at Daniel:: Are you here to assist or just talk?
●● Lt. Flower Sheme well on my planet you would be a Navigator. Darnell would be a Tinker, I would be a Defender and Protector
●● Lt Teayana Starr I'm well thank you. I better head to the lounge to see the Captain. see you around.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::gives the two inside engineers a thumbs up; communicates that he is going to check on another team:: to the eng officers> Make the rest of the internal seals. Check everything before you run any pressure tests.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme hes multitasking
●● Lt. Daniel Connor I am here to assist Ensign. Unless you rather not want me here. Exactly. Multitasking. ::goes over at a console::
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale He waved and continued on this patrol.
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::smiles:: Oh No, I am glad to have you assist. While you are over there can you check the readings on this conduit now?
● Ensign Oelh "Joy" Tsuruchi +Yes ma'am tapping in to the sensors. ::starts scanning and cross referring any information:: Ma'am i'll run a few simulations and get back to you.
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Sure can. ::smiles and nods to her::
●● Lt Teayana Starr ::heads to observation lounge.::
●● Lt. Daniel Connor I don’t think we formally met.
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::waits to make sure her repairs are holding:: No, I don't think we have, Lt. I don't get to the upper floors too often.
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor =/\= Thank you, Tsuruchi. ::Closes the channel and continues to look at the sectors around them. Stops to get a bite of the fruit and chew it thoughtfully.::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers ::nods to the two officers as he passed them to get to where CJ is:: Commander, what's going on.
●● Lt Teayana Starr ::enters observation lounge::
● Ensign Sineade Darnell Name is Sineade Darnell, and as Lt Sheme said, I am an engineer.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::makes his way to the airlock; after processing through the airlock, he takes off his helmet and breathes deeply:: Ah.. much better
●● Lt Teayana Starr ::looks to see if anyone else was around,, room clear::
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Nice to meet you. Lieutenant Daniel Connor. Helmsman.
●● Lt Teayana Starr Hi Mardel
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::looks at the readings of the conduit::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::tromps off down the corridor to the TL; first team reported they have hung the plating; Langley wants to see for himself how the sealing looks::
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor ::Glances over at Teayana:: Tell me I'm not seeing things. These readings here, those are man made. Those aren't naturally occurring.
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::nods:: Nice to meet you as well, Lieutenant.
●● Lt Teayana Starr Looks to see what she is talking about:::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme can I put this down?
●● Lt Teayana Starr Hmm, how can this be? More like it shouldn’t be.
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::looks to Daniel for the information on the console:: how’s it looking?
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Well what did I come down here for, CJ? ::tilting his head.::
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::nods to Sheme:: Yeah you can let it down now
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::looks up and sees Commander House as C.J. steps off the TL; Langley is in a space suit, carrying his helmet::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :: sets the panel down::
●● Lt. Daniel Connor It’s doing good.
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Have you got it fixed or still need help?
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::to House:: What do know about hull plating seals?
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor ::Nodding:: That is what I was thinking. If that is the case, all of this, it wasn't an accident. And we need to get back there now, before it's shut down and we are trapped here.
● Ensign Oelh "Joy" Tsuruchi ::sets up a series of simulations to process and cross reference::
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale Stops by various teams and helped where needed but for the most part just wandered around conducting patrols and making sure areas were safe::
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::nods and turns to secure the panel in place:: I think we are almost done here. The other members of the repair team have finished as well.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme that’s good
●● Lt Teayana Starr We need to get House up here to see this and have hime
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Good to hear. The sooner we have engines back, the better.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley I was going to get my eyes on the first repair team. They've just hung the hull plating and I was going to inspect it before we repower and repressurize any of the effected decks
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor ::Nodding:: =/\= Tsuruchi, House, please report to the observation lounge asap.
●● Lt Teayana Starr have him crack a whip
● Ensign Sineade Darnell I agree. Lets vacate the area before they test the nacell.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme okay
●● Lt Teayana Starr this isn't good Mardel.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme ::steps away and stands next to Conner:::
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Let’s get going.
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Well I was Science before, so I know how it works. Not quite maybe as much as you do, but well enough, why? ::holds a finger up:: ++Mardel++ I thought you wanted me to help CJ.
●● Lt Teayana Starr Would you like me to stay with you or see if I can assist somewhere?
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::walks with the two of them::
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor =/\= Something has come up, House. This is important.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::perplexed by House's communication to the Captain.... then it's clear:: By all means, Commander. Report to her for me that we are well on our way with the repairs. Down time estimate, another 12 hrs.
● Ensign Oelh "Joy" TsuruchiToday at 10:34 PM
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::Walks along with them::
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::steps in the turbo lift::
●● Lt Teayana Starr ::: lets out a sft low whistle::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers May I? ::holding hand out for a PADD::
● Ensign Sineade Darnell I guess it did sort of work, didn't it? ::enters TL::
●● Lt Teayana Starr :: hand House her PADD::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :: enters last;:I keep trying to tell you that
● Ensign Sineade Darnell Yes, you do. And I'll try to remember that.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme okay
●● Lt Teayana Starr Captain would you like me to call Drysdale?
● Ensign Sineade Darnell But I still want to go over all the data to figure out why we got hit so hard.
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Thank you. ::taking it and giving a look over:: Hmm. Joy, what do you make about these fluctuations in the sub-space variables? ::points them out and marks them::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::is very pleased thus far with the timeline of the nacelle repairs; perhaps time to completion may be more like 9 or 10, rather than 12 as he had told House::
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Of course
●● Lt. Flower Sheme whats our next repair?
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor ::Nodding to Teaya:: We need to get back there, as soon as possible.
●● Lt. Daniel Connor See what you can do to make sure it don’t happen again.
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::nods:: I hope we never have to try that again though ::looks at her PADD to see the next repair order::
● Ensign Oelh "Joy" Tsuruchi They look like that its be related to a subspace rip or hole.
●● Lt Teayana Starr ++Drysdale+++ Lt Starr here, please come to observation de
●● Lt. Daniel Connor What’s next?
●● Lt Teayana Starr lounge immediately. Thank you. Starr out
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::looks at the padd::
● Ensign Sineade Darnell Looks likethe Central Nacell took some damage as well(edited)
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::arrives at the first nacelle repair team's deck; enters through the airlock after securing his helmet; makes his way to the repair site::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme okay
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Let’s work on that one next
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale You wanted to see me? ::he asked as he stepped into the lounge::
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::frowns:: Need to get suited up, looks like high radiation levels
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :: nods and heads to find a suit with a tail hole::
● Ensign Sineade Darnell It might be safer if you stayed here
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor Drysdale, it appears that all this mess with the Cardassians isn't as accidental as they want us to think. So we need to get back there, get back to our time, and shut it down and do it without being caught.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme why?
●● Lt. Flower Sheme I was told to help you
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Hmm.. Its entirely possible. Or perhaps since, its man-made, a black hole messing with time.
● Ensign Sineade Darnell Well, I don't think you need to be exposed and I would feel a lot better with both of you out here as relays
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale Sounds reasonable. ::he said neutrally::
●● Lt Teayana Starr Either way we need to get out. I can’t express the urgency enough.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme neither do you
● Ensign Sineade Darnell Well, it's my job, not yours.
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers What do you think, Joy?
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor Perhaps, a combination of both. Tsuruchi, thoughts?
●● Lt. Flower Sheme danny?
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::looks at the two::
● Ensign Oelh "Joy" Tsuruchi ::Thinks a few seconds:: Its very possible. But now the question is how do we get the damn thing to open and send us home.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::after his eyes-on inspection of the three nacelle repair sites, CJ made his way back to his office in ME; happy to have shed his suite, he plunked down in his chair and sighed; he was tired; no matter what anybody told you - walking around for three hours or more in full space suit regalia was physically tiring::
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor ::Points to the patterns in the particles:: We reverse those, there.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley ::starts bringin up repair reports from the many other others teams throughout the ship::
●● Lt. Daniel Connor I’ll assist with Darnell. Flower, I want you to be back up if need be.
●● Lt Teayana Starr Drysdale, any suggestions?
●● Lt. Flower Sheme just be careful. your wife would have my fur
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::looks at the Ensign:: You got to have at least one of us with you.
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale Normally I would say a reconnaissance in force but all the shuttles are destroyed. So no.
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::looks at Flower:: I will. You will make sure that doesn’t happen.
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::pulls out a suit and steps into it:: I guess since you both out-rank me I can't order you, can I?
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::laughs::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme of course
●● Lt. Daniel Connor No... Ensign ::puts on a EV suit:: Let’s do this.
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::sighs:: Didn't think so. Here goes nothing.
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Um...well there is something we could try. If we can get the variants from the scans of our ship and the Cardies from our time, and compare them with that rift. We might be able to link something to it. We can hit the lab and work on this. ::motioning to Joy to join him::
●● Lt Teayana Starr The safest bet would be to go undetected, would it not?
● Ensign Sineade Darnell ::opens the first door and enters and begins to climb to the Nacell::
●● Lt. Morgan Drysdale Generally any situation would be good from an area of surprise. However, since we don’t really know what we are dealing with we have to exercise care to not be the surprised.
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor Yes, we have to be undetected. I need to go and deal with something. House, Tsuruchi, work on finding the reverse. Drysdale, Teaya, work on how we get there by stealth.
●● Lt. Daniel Connor ::follows Sineade and climbs::

Now we have some idea of what will happen, we just have to get there. I hope to see some logs this week. TBS will depend on logs, but I am going to say about an hour, thus giving everyone a chance to progress.

●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor Okay then, Commander, say your peace and let em go.
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Like the Captain said. Great job. I'm going to elaborate on what she said for the interactions. That was not expected, and not forced. Which is very very good and what we love to see. Thank you all for that. And..scoots. Be safe.
