Crew is at attention, Ma'am. ::Attn::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
Welcome out tonight. I hope that those who are Mothers had a good day yesterday and had family pamper them.
To let you all know, I slept wrong last night and pinched the nerve in my neck and moving is difficult, typing is painful. So i will be keeping my typing to a min tonight so that I can heal. I'm also drugged up with muscle relaxants, so I'm sorta foggy. So be prepared for odd things happening. I am going to depend a lot tonight on you and House.
Did everyone read the game plan? And are there any questions?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
::AA::
Lt Sineade Darnell
yes/no
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
Yes and no. Also ma'am. Considering the plan is idea's, there shouldn't be to much action.
Lt Sean Darnell
read/no questions
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
Good....then we will begin by heading to the OL. Places everyone.
ROCK~N~ROLL
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
::in ME checking with the duty office before heading out to the OL::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
;;heads for the OL;;
Lt Sean Darnell
::Handing off his station and heading for the Observation Lounge::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
::finishes up with duty officer and literally runs out of ME, down the corridor to the TL::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Enters the observation lounge and takes her seat at the head of the table, with a glass of iced mint tea::
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
::Followed Teayana in and taking a seat. Maybe just a glass of water.::
Lt Sineade Darnell
::groans as she puts on a new uniform, her chest still sore from yesterday's little 'accident', and moves a bit slower than usual to go to the OL::
Lt Sean Darnell
::enters and takes a seat::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers
::Signs out and heads into the Observation Lounge since Flower is currently indisposed::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
::enters the OL; spots an empty seat and takes it for himself::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
;;gets a mug of mulled cider and sits down by CJ;;
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Motions for House to start the white noise in the room, so that any listening devices wouldn't hear the words, just the static.::
Lt Sineade Darnell
::finally enters the OL a minute or so later and makes her way to an empty seat::
Lt Sean Darnell
::looks at Sineade moving slower than usual and raises an eyebrow::
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
::Points to the table for those that have sensetive ears. If they need the dampening ear wigs but can still hear everyone before turning it on::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers
::Yup, even if she learned to mostly turn it off all the time, takes them and puts them in::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
::flashes NW a smile as she sits down::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
;;smiles and squeezes his hand;;
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Looking around the table:: Okay, we need to have a discussion of our next move. We have had our emotions played with. And now we have some on board who are sabotaging us and we can't figure out who because of the scramble on the personnel records. We still can't go to warp, but we have impulse and we have warp, we just can't create the warp bubble. Sensors should be back online within the next few hours. So we will take this time as things are being set to rights. I need ideas. I need input on how all of you are doing emotionally and mentally. I open the table for ideas.
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers
Flower and I did go down and physically make sure the shields are working, regardless of what readings we are getting, which they are. On that front, I suggest we don't touch them until that gets fixed.
Lt Sineade Darnell
::groans:: I am just peachy keen. I love the thought of almost getting turned to atoms first thing in the morning! (Sarcastic remark)
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Nodding to Kara:: Good.
::Looks to Sineade:: And Nightwing cleared you to return to duty?
Lt Sean Darnell
::glances at Sinny but remains quiet, turns to the Captain:: So far all indications are that these events were pre-staged. That is to say that someone on the outside set them up, most likely during the refit. That the only explanation I can see
Lt Sineade Darnell
::glances at NW:: Mmaaaybeee?!?
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
::RH::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Nodding to Sean: That is a possibility.
::Look to Teaya:: What is it?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
Limited duty based on what her body can tolerate, she is to stop immediately if she becomes too fatigued
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi
::sits quietly staring off in to space::
Lt Sineade Darnell
::mutters something like 'fat chance' under her breath::
○●LtJg Tholan ch'Fairia
::stands at teh back of the room leaning against the wall::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Takes a sip of the tea::
Lt Sean Darnell
::looks over at Joy wondering if she is ok::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
::notices Sin's reaction to NW's assessment; chuckles inwardly, remaining stoic outwardly::
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
::dàily she had taken stock of everyone,:: providing we stay.out.course.of one step ahead, everyone should be fine. Each time a distraction was made the crew has.come.through. most important part is for all to stay their mental course and keep their heads in the game regardless.
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
I've got a very brutal idea how to draw them out.
○●LtJg Tholan ch'Fairia
::RH::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
::perks up at House's statement described as brutual::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Nodding. Looking at Teaya, she smiled, got up and went to the replicator and comes back with a bowl of fruit chunks; pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, apple slices, and kiwi slices and puts it in front of Teaya with a wink and sits back down::
Lt Sineade Darnell
::gets an evil smile:: Brutal sound like a nice payback ::rubs her very sore chest::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
What is that, Dean?
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
::smiles a thank you to Mardel::
Lt Sean Darnell
::eager to hear this idea, but worried about Joy::
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
Play our own sabotage. We literally make it look like life support has been screwed. It would have to be that elaborate. Almost like it really is, or is. No one of our real crew is to stop it. The one, or ones that don't want to die over here will do one of two things. Try to fix it. Got them. Or, emergency transport out, which we'll catch as well. Tracking where they tried to beam out to.
Lt Sean Darnell
And if they can't?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
;;rh;;
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
They'll still start to work on it and we can still cover that with them accessing the panels. ::Looks to Nightwing:: Yes?
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Looks to Tholan:: You had something to add?
Lt Sineade Darnell
::frowns at the though of disabling life support::
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
:: listens to her husband and mills over his words as she pops a piece of melon in her mouth and chews thoughtfully.:;
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
::frowns at the idea; disabling life support is too risky::
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
I also don't think that we need to raise hands. As long as we don't talk over each other. ::Pats Teayana's thigh lightly::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
I know that this would run afoul of every ethical convention of any telepaths that are out there but I could try scanning their minds to read the ones that are imposters and we then segregate them to the brig. I'm not happy to suggest it but it may have to be done
○●LtJg Tholan ch'Fairia
Well ma'am sense sensors are down and we cant warp doesnt mean that a runabout cant go out and be our sensors. With help from ENgineering and Operations and maybe have Kara run shot gun in case, but it might give us what we need to know to get unstuck.
Lt Sineade Darnell
::Looks at CJ and sees his frown and knows he feels the same::
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi
::still staring off in space::
Lt Sean Darnell
::Leans over to Joy and whispers:: Is everything alright?
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
::rolls her eyes then leans in... :: It's called curtosy dear" she whispers.
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
I like that idea, Tholan. We will do that.
::Looks to CJ:: Any ideas from engineering?
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi
Huh? Yea sorry just thinking ::whispers back::
○●LtJg Tholan ch'Fairia
::rh::
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
'What's that, love?' ::Smirks::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
Continue with the ungoing repairs. As for diabling life support.... in my opinion , it's too risky. There are literally hundereds of places aboard the ship
Lt Sean Darnell
::whispers:: Maybe we could talk about it later? After the meeting?
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
"life support can be affected.
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
:: gives his thigh a slight pinch::
Lt Sineade Darnell
::nods in agreement:: And too many variables on what could be done to it by those trying to fix it improperly
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
I wouldn't feel comfortable, and I'm sure the crew wouldn't with the telepaths we have on board poking everyone's mind. Unless, the Commodore thinks we should use it as a last resort. ::Makes a little face to Teayana::
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
::smiles sweetly then eats a pineapple chunk::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
I don't think whoever is doing this would give themselves away with telepathic scans, so I am going to veto that, Nightwing. Thoughts are private and need to remain so.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
I was suggesting it only as a last resort and I know the possible damage it could do to people's reputation and trust issues, but it may be one of the only ways to entrap them
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
CJ, are coms stable now?
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers
I do have that cloak cape actually, Tholan.
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
Yes. Comma are stable. The comm system is voice coded to Captain, XO and myself in order to make any changes. I've also set a monitor on the system so we'll know where and when any attempt to change it is attempted.
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
::points to Tholan who had a hand up again::
Lt Sean Darnell
::looking at his reports from all over the ship on the status of repairs to make a note on what still needs to be done::
Lt Sineade Darnell
::turns to look at Tholan and winces as the quick movement caused her some discomfort::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
Good. Tholan, go now, take a shuttle out and scan for us, find out why we can't create the warp bubble. Take CJ with you, so you have science and engineering working together. Keep the coms open and let us know what you find.
Sean, did you get your ops console working again?
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers
What am I doing?
○●LtJg Tholan ch'Fairia
Ma'am wouldnt the shuttle have the records of the crew stored in his processor?
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Looks to Kara:: Sheme is taking the day off, on orders to regain her composure. So you have tactical.
Lt Sean Darnell
::nods:: Yes Ma'am. And I have reports from every deck on the status of repairs. There's still a lot to be done but most of the major incidents have been reversed
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
;;moves over to Sinead only to reach out and dull her pains to near nothing;;
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
Sadly, no, Tholan.
Lt Sineade Darnell
::turns back to the captain:: Are we sure taking a shuttle into an area we suspect is full of anti-matter is a wise choice?
::Nods to NW in thanks::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers
It has security measures actually, ma'am. They can be accessed from the ship. I recommend it be shut off. Closed security circuit for the shuttle's computer.
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
Good, Sean. Then I need you to keep everyone calm and things in order. When Tholan and CJ report what they find from the shuttle, we will be ready to act.
Lt Sean Darnell
Aye, Ma'am
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Looks at Tholan and CJ and wondering why they aren't on their way to the shuttlebay.::
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
May I suggest creating a code when they give the all clear?
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
Hmm....::gives a thoughful look::
Lt Sean Darnell
Might need some help on that "everbody calm" calm part though. Counselor, any suggestions?
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
Otherwise we may lose our headstart
○●LtJg Tholan ch'Fairia
::gets up and starts to leave the room to get the shuttle prep'd::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
That would be a good idea, Teaya. Work with Kara on that.
Lt Sineade Darnell
::chuckles:: Just call the Leprechaun ::smiles at Sean::
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley
::catches cap's look; gestures to Tholan that they should leave:; gives NW's hand a squeeze before standing up and heading for the door::
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
Aye ma'am
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
Okay, we have a plan. Let's get it working. Dismissed.
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
You know..the Runabout can actually tractor us out of the field. We can use that field to detonate it...once we're clear.
The wave should reveal any ships.
Lt Sean Darnell
There's an idea I hadn't thought of.
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
Gentle, persuasive, encouragement Sean.
ACTION: Through Sim Magic, it isn't anti-matter that made us stop...it's something else. Joy will know what it is.
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi
Or blow us to hell and back. Sir. we dont what it is yet.
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
::Stands up and offers his hand to Teayana if she needed or wanted the help up::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers
I guess we're going to play code maker instead of code breaker, Counselor.
Lt Sean Darnell
Lt Starr, we both know I am not that good at gentle persuasion. Just ask Joy. She had to hit a few times with a boot the get the point across.
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
:: not needed but any excuse to feel the warmth of her husband::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
::Stops Sean as he nears the door:: Sean, I want this white noise throughout the ship. It will make it difficult for those listening in on us. Got it?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
;;lays her head against CJ's shoulder as they head out;;(edited)
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
Nightwing. how many were injured in this latest sabotage?
Lt Sean Darnell
::looks over at the Captain:: Yes Ma'am, I have it broadcast immediately
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
Commodore may Kara and I use the Ready Room?
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
Yes, Teaya.
Good, Sean. Go and see that it's done.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
;;stops;; about 15 I'm wanting the head of whoever messed with the Sickbay records on a silver platter. To do that is worse than criminal in my opinion
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
:: gives Dean's hand a tender squeeze then a wink to Kara::
Lt Sean Darnell
::nods, looking back at Joy for a second then heads out::
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
Shall we Kara?
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers
Yes, ma'am. ::Motioning:: After you.
○●● Lt Cmdr Teaya Starr-House
::picks up her fruit::
Lt Sineade Darnell
::waits for most of the others to leave before she struggles to her feet and heads for engineering::
○●LtJg Tholan ch'Fairia
::looks at CJ in the lift:: This is some crazy crap isn't it sir?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing
;;goes over to help Sineade;;
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
::Gives Teayana a quick kiss, they both had jobs to do.::
Lt Sean Darnell
::takes back his console and begins to send the white noise throughout the ship as ordered::

[●] Commodore Mardel Connor
Great job tonight. I liked the ideas, all of them. Thank you so much for doing that. Now there are several joint logs fo this, and I hope that you all take advantage of that and do some logs. Time between sims will depend on those joint logs.
Since I am struggling and Teaya's mun is struggling, I will end it here. Commander, say your peace and let em go.
●●●● Capt House/●● Lt Danvers
Good job everyone. Excellent ideas. We've got work to do. I really do like the idea's and some of them perhaps we can use still later to beat this bitch. Have a good week and be safe.
