[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
Yes, Danvers?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing :
;;rh;;
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
I get to kill the Admiral now? Cause she's kinda making me mad.
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
No. The Admiral hasn't been here for several weeks, someone else was in charge while she dealt with something else.
Yes, Nightwing?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing :
how many possibles have I found in the records?
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
So far.....you aren't sure you have found any, but you have questions about at least five, but again, aren't sure.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing :
ok tytyty
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
Any other questions?
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House :
None
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
Then places everyone....
ROCK~N~ROLL
Lt Sean Darnell :
::sitting at a console without any power:: So now what?
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
::with Danvers checking on the shields::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
::In her seat, remaining calm, setting the example for the crew::
Lt Sineade Darnell :
::inside an access tube dealing with the matter/anti-matter flow problem::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
Mister Darnell, I would assume you know something about your ops station. Perhaps you should see if you can't figure out the problem by doing more than just sitting and staring at it.
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House :
::sitting in her chair drumming her fingers against the arm of the chair.:::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
There! ::points:: See. The shields still have power. This says they are up!::
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers :
You're going to wear a hole in that arm rest, love.
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House :
Maybe so.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
thats beause I raised them before the power out
Lt Sean Darnell :
::smirks:: Yes, Ma'am. ::gets off the seat and leans down to get the power flow regulator to see what he can do::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
I know, but we were trying to make sure they really were still up. Looks like they are.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
ok, next problem how do we report thic?
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
We go back up? I mean I don't have telepathy.
Lt Sean Darnell :
::getting the wiring and the iso-chips::
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers :
What's got you frazzled?
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
Perhaps, Teaya, you might want to circulate around the ship, calm everyone down, with coms down and systems going haywire, it might be nice to see a calm, comforting face.
Lt Sineade Darnell :
::can feel the static all around her building up::
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House :
Not frazzled really. I'm just over this, that's all.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
okay, lets go
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House :
I'm slightly frustrated at the crews behavior through some of this.
ACTION: The personnel records suddenly vanish and when they come back, they are scrambled, so names and faces don't miss and facts are wrong about the crew that Nightwing does know.
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
::Turns to follow and stops a moment.:: Oh not again..seriously..
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
what?
Lt Sean Darnell :
::notices that one of the chips is blown:: Ahha! Found you you little devil!
Lt Sean Darnell :
::pulls out the chip to inspect it:: Here's the culprit!
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi :
::in her lab modifying a torpedo with a postively charged matter cluster torpedo::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
Wait...::moves out a little more and rests a hand on the bulkhead, looking winded:: Someone got it out.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
get out now!
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
::Looks at Teaya calmly:: When having the psyche tested, some go with the flow, some break, some fight back, and some grow stronger. We are being tested right now. It's how it usually goes. We just need to build up those who are crumbling and reassure all that we will get through this. That is your job, Teaya. I know you can do it, but if you aren't calm, others won't be either.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
report to the bridge!
Lt Sineade Darnell :
::keeps working despite her growing concern on the static levels::
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House :
I have been calm through all of this Captain as I'm sure you have kept up on everything.
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers :
::Give a bit of a look to Mardel..that was a little harsh, at least the tone and wording:: Captain..perhaps tone it down a little?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing :
;; is going through the records only to get them all in a snazzle before shaking her fist at the computer and starting to make an old paper copy list of what she knows about each of the people that she DOESN'T suspect of being an ice cream cone
Lt Sean Darnell :
Commodore, I need to get this replaced. Unfortuantely with coms down I'll have to go down to the storage.
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
::Shakes her head, fingers curling and literally digging into the tritanium material of the bulkhead and crushing it:: No. I am sick of this. Closer I get the more I can feel it. We can find whoever it is that way.::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
just be carful please
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
I have kept up on, Teaya and I know you have been the voice of reason as much as possible. But your finger tapping right now......::doesn't finish::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing :
;;keeps working on redoing the records from memory as best she's able to of the people she does know and saving the less well known for the last;;
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
You're not going to come with me? Know what..actually. Go back, Tell them what's going on. I'll be fine.
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
::Looks at Dean:: Tone what down, Commander? Asking my crew to be the best they can?
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
::stops her:: no we go together!
Lt Sean Darnell :
::assumes the commodre has heard and heads off to a TL to head down to get a couple of new chips for his console::
ACTION: WIth Coms down, Drysdale only has the last message sent to him to check out sabotage in engineering.
Lt. M. Drysdale :
::heads to engineering at a rapid pace::
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers :
I am aware you are. It's your demeanor and your tone. It's close to snapping. Teayana didn't deserve that. ::Glancing to Sean:: Go ahead but make it quick please.
Lt Sineade Darnell :
::swears to herself as she works inside the tube adjusting the flow regulators:: Come on .. work damn you!
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
::points to one of the lockers in the bulkheads once they got out of weapon control:: Phaser. Oh this sucks...
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
::Looks at House:: I am not snapping and my tone is calm and without emotional inflection. Perhaps it's the none judgmental stance I"m taking that has your feathers ruffled.
Lt Sean Darnell :
::nods to House, exits the bridge to the TL and heads for storage next to engineering::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
::nods and helps her:: I dont think you should stay, you could die
Lt. M. Drysdale :
::arrives in engineering and looks around to try and grasp what is going on::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
I hadn't slept on it all night this time, and you can't find it with out me the closer we get. ::The phaser was for Flower actually::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing :
;;keeps working on her paper copies of the records before sewing them together into a codex for Sickbay to use during the SFI screwup;;
Lt Sean Darnell :
::arrives on the engineering deck and quickly makes his way to the storage area to find the chips::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
its still dangeros
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers :
::Stands up.:: Commodore, can I see you and Teayana in your ready room for moment. ::Not waiting for either of them to go in there.::
ACTION: Lights start to flicker and go out randomly around the ship, some come back on and others don't. The whispers of sabotage get stronger.
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
::Takes a long breath:: And necessary.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
lead on
Lt Sean Darnell :
::swears when the lights go out::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
During red alert, with systems doing down all over the ship, House? No.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing :
;;gets out some emergency lightsticks in case she needs them to see for either writing or treatment;;
Lt Sean Darnell :
::grabs a box of the chips and heads back to the TL::
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi :
::Starts to swear as the lights go out. Pulling out a emergency lap::
Lt. M. Drysdale :
::begins to scan around engineering trying to piece togther what happened::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing :
;;keeps working to spite the Ice cream cones
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House :
::Teaya sat tight in her chair as protocol called for::
ACTION: Intruder Alert. Decks 3, 8, 15. Sections 23 through 36 Alpha.
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers :
Now what! ::skirts to a stop::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
::Looking around the bridge, ops was gone getting new parts, tactical was gone doing who knew what, helm was gone doing who knows what, engineering in chaos. For a moment, she wondered if her ship was really going to fall apart or not::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers :
I know..but..we've got to get them. ::struggling along down the now dark corridor except for the red alert lights::
Lt Sineade Darnell :
:: Hears footsteps outside the tube and glances over to see Morgan standing there:: Drysdale, what is going on?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing :
;;has a phaser ready in case anyone came in there to pester her and didn't need medical treatment;;
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :
::faces her palm light::
Lt. M. Drysdale :
A total feth storm as it were :: he said dryly and then hearing the alert raced towards the nearest location to him that was reported::
Lt Sineade Darnell :
::starts to turn back to her work and gets zapped and knocked out with a loud yelp::
ACTION: Where the intruder alert sounds, the Lifesized Rait is standing there, or rather, leaning against the bulkhead there.
Lt Sean Darnell :
::waiting impatiently for the TL so he can get back to the Bridge::
ACTION: The computer's voice suddenly changes into Vincent Price.
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
It's a lift...crawl through the hatch and up the access ladder. Pretty easy.
Lt Sean Darnell :
::frowns:: not much fun in that
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
Of course...you will have Vincent Price talking to you the whole time.
Lt. M. Drysdale :
Something heavy is pinning the hatch in place and won’t budge easily
Lt Sean Darnell :
hmmm.. both excellent scenarios
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor :
::Smiles:: Any other questions?
Then everyone have a great week, as Commander House said. Stay safe, find happiness, write a log or two or more, and don't forget that Sunday is Mother's Day, so wish your mothers, alive or dead, a happy Mother's Day. See you next week.
