Protector 6/17/2022

[9:09][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play...
[9:10][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The camera pans around the Manta as it shows it heading out of the corridor. Marcus' voiceover is heard as it moves...
[9:11][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:“Captain’s log, stardate 99124.64. We’re about out of the Styx corridor after encountering… look. I know the Tanausans have a lot of brilliant strategists and tacticians, but whoever decided to..
[9:11][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:plant that station there, transmitting from the planet literally across the entire fucking Holy Kirtascan Empire? Idiot. Absolute fucking moron. Shame him in front of all the other blueys. But..
[9:12][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:at least it goes to show that our enemy does make mistakes, and that’ll be useful. I guess. Anyway, time to see what the gang’s been up to while we were in the Erebus expanse. End log.”
[9:12][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:...language. -over her shoulder
[9:12][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I don't listen in on your private logs, V'Tira.
[9:12][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy stiffles a giggle.
[9:13][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Largely since I do not make them on the bridge
[9:13][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] Technically sir, I don't believe a captain's log is analogous to a personal log
[9:13][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Look, they tell me to make logs, I make logs. Don't shame me for doing my job. Now what's out there for us?
[9:14][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Damian was in charge of engineering for the day as Bore ate something bad.
[9:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena looekd at th brige station
[9:14][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-attempts to read the ACCI updates to see what is on the schedule for them today
[9:16][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Working on it sir...we aren't quite out of all the interference yet
[9:17][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Right... well, be ready for when we clear the corridor.
[9:19][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri enters the bridge and quietly makes her way to her station.-
[9:19][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] We should be clear, sir
[9:20][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-side eyes Ezri as she goes over her fleet updates
[9:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I think something is happening in the Kirtas system.
[9:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:What is ezri
[9:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i am picking up and unusually high level of neutrinoes.
[9:22][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Wormholes
[9:22][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Thats worm sign right
[9:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--shrugs-- "that is highly possible doctor, give how much the Tanausians love thier wormholes.
[9:23][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Can you perform an analysis of the quantum fluctuations near it
[9:24][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus frowned.* "Reinforcing their fleet, I imagine.
[9:24][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a brow at her confusing updates
[9:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i can try, at this range it wont be easy.
[9:25][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Suggest we cloak and approach the area, sir
[9:26][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...What, Kirtas? The system the Tanausans have turned into their stronghold? Seems like we'd be asking for trouble.
[9:26][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:No updates yet on any major fleet action from the ACCI sir.
[9:26][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Depends on its exact location, sir
[9:27][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I think we should probably be delivering our findings to the Kirtascans before we go running into the swarm.
[9:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:I agree Commander we should probably head to Sidese
[9:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Or Irial
[9:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Irial's closest." *He nodded.
[9:29][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"We should head to Irial, so I can get one of those pink fizzy drinks.
[9:29][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed...they need to be made aware their military is comprimised by the suspected cultist
[9:30][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Aye...should I stand by on the cloak before we travel or
[9:30][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"The source of the neutrinoes is located between irial and Kirtas, not to far off our course.
[9:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"We could swing by and take a look on our way to Irial.
[9:31][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus looked at Ezri.* "It's on our way, then. I suppose we can check it out then. Engage cloak.
[9:31][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Aye sir
[9:31][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Set a course for the point Ezri indicated.
[9:31][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Sir, shall I send an encoded message to fleet command to update our situation
[9:31][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Calculating course adjustment now, sir
[9:31][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Do so, Lieutenant.
[9:32][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods and sends fleet an encrypted and encoded message back on fleet coms to command
[9:32][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Message has been sent
[9:32][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The Manta fades from view as it phase cloaks.
[9:33][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Course laid in, sir
[9:33][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Cloak is online
[9:33][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Then let's party. Engage."
[9:33][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i would like to get my hands on some of that wormhole generating tech...
[9:33][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"If you're good, Lieutenant.
[9:33][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The Manta jumps to warp on their new course.
[9:34][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Miss Tegan...what exactly would you use this technology for
[9:34][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i have a lot of ideas for what I could do with it.
[9:34][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Catherine...why poke the beast
[9:34][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"What couldn't you do with a wormhole generator? You'd never be without a toilet again.
[9:35][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] A toilet...your mind goes to the bathroom first, sir
[9:35][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I mean mostly I would use it for the same stuff the blueys use it for..
[9:35][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:He is male Catherine
[9:35][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Of course
[9:35][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"No... that was the first one that I could say without being sent to see a counselor when we get back to the Citadel.
[9:36][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] We could take back Kirtas in a day
[9:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"he is not wrong though it would make waste disposal easy..
[9:36][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-shakes her head- Ezri...the means in which you would have to tranfer your waste would remain unchange
[9:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"wormholes are not... stable enough for that commander
[9:37][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Why do you have to crush my dreams like this, doc, every time...
[9:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:You'd need an iconian gateway
[9:38][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Now there's an idea.
[9:38][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"perhaps you are right V'Tira..there goes the idea of pooping on the Tanasaunan admiral's bridge..
[9:38][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] ...what
[9:38][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Well..in theory..you could send fresh poo to their bridg
[9:38][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-to Ezri
[9:38][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Ewww..
[9:38][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i mean he deserves it..
[9:39][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indee
[9:39][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He rubbed his bearded chin, considering this.
[9:39][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] Surely there are better things to send...like...a torpedo warhead..
[9:40][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Taking the Captain's idea of utilzing the Iconian gateway..it would allow for him to urinate on the Admiral's bridge most efectively as wel
[9:40][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] or...a hand crafted bomb..
[9:40][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Biological warfare is still banned.
[9:40][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] ...an automated turret that is programmed to recognize and terminate the Admiral
[9:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i mean if we can dream I would send them a neutronium bomb...
[9:41][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks abrow- quite true doctor
[9:41][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"ANd here I was about to order a platter of asparagus.
[9:42][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] I don't feel much like eating after this discussion..
[9:42][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"which is also another use of a wormhole to collect a sufficient amount of neutronium to make a bomb.
[9:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Ms Tegan..
[9:42][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yes doctor.
[9:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Lets nto make weapons capable of destroying more than one star system
[9:43][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Theoretically...you would not need a bomb Ezri..utilizing such worm hole technology..one could dump a rather large solar flare onto the bridge of the Admira
[9:43][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"but doctor its a hobby. its part of my identity.
[9:43][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...Tegan, that's not how identities work.
[9:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"But, I like making bombs V'Tira.
[9:44][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods-True you do need your hobbie
[9:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--nods at V'Tira-
[9:44][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] It is a hobby, not an identity
[9:45][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy sagely nods.
[9:45][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:However Catherineis it not true we arte defined by our actions
[9:45][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Some hobbies can be i guess.
[9:45][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I am a singer.
[9:45][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods to the doctor- and a rather good one as well
[9:46][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] That is true
[9:46][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Anyway it is all just theoretical without a practical means of collecting neutronium.
[9:46][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...Got a bucket?
[9:47][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i would not recommend beaming down to a neuton star to collect neutronium in a bucket sir.
[9:48][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, then I'm out of ideas.
[9:48][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it was a good effort however sir.
[9:49][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"This is why I went into security. Leave the sciencing to you guys." *He checked his PADD.
[9:50][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"aye sir we each act according to the gift the Maker gave us.
[9:51][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] We are arriving at the coordinates provided, sir
[9:51][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, get to work, science people.
[9:52][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--turns around an focuses on her console, doing science stuff.-
[9:52][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The cloaked Manta drops out of warp, before what right now appears to be...nothing on the viewer.
[9:53][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Um
[9:53][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Do we have the right cooardinates
[9:53][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-looks to Ezri
[9:53][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i am pretty sure we do...
[9:53][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at her scan results-
[9:53][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked at Ezri.* "Maybe they closed it?
[9:54][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...we are not seeing anything because the wormhols has not formed yet,.
[9:55][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] Could we destroy it
[9:55][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] Could we destroy it
[9:55][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it is getting ready to form, within the next few seconds.
[9:55][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus blinked.* "Shouldn't there be a Tanausan probe here then?
[9:55][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i would think so sir...
[9:55][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:COuld htey be masking it from detection somehow
[9:56][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:A cloaking device or something else
[9:56][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"assuming it is a Tanasaunan wormhole and not a naturally occuing one.
[9:56][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That'd be one hell of a coincidence, but stranger things have happened in the LMC.
[9:56][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it is possible they found a way to cloak the probes to avoid detection.
[9:57][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Miss Tegan, what if some of the neutrino levels indicated a cloaked object as well
[9:58][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"that is possible.
[9:59][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Try and find it, Tegan.
[9:59][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I can do a tachyon sweep of the area to try and expose any cloaked devices.
[9:59][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] I'd love to blast that thing outta space
[9:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-checks the area for any possible coded enemy signals
[9:59][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Make it so.
[9:59][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--sets up for her techyon sweep.-
[10:00][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a brow and begins to focus on something as she works her console
[10:01][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I have detected an encoded Tanausan signal Sir...located just on the edge of the coordinates Ezri has provide
[10:01][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-sends Ezri the second set of coordinates
[10:02][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, if anyone can crack it, it's you, V'tira.
[10:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"there is definitely a cloaked object out there..i have no localized it...but I wouldwager that V'Tira's signal is coming from it.
[10:02][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Yes sir...efforting to do so as we spea
[10:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--focuses her scans on the location V'Tira provided.-
[10:03][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-efforts to crack the endcoded transmission
[10:04][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Don't forget to adjust for our phase cloak, Tegan." (Teamwork?
[10:04][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh yeah right, good catch sir.
[10:05][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i can get a general area for the target sir...but nothing specific. a wide enough weapons spread should hit something though.
[10:06][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We don't have time to be picky. Ready a wide spread for a particle burst, knock the probe out of cloak.
[10:07][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:The transmission apears to be one of a directional command for the probe to travel to this location
[10:07][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Decloak, sir
[10:07][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I have worked out the location in a narrow enough location to provide a reasonable size target.
[10:07][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We're obviously going to have to.
[10:07][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Sir we might be sitting at ground zero for a wormhole test sit
[10:07][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Or an invasion point
[10:08][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indee
[10:08][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:This could be a future beachhead, best to cut that off before it has a chance to fester
[10:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm not going to risk it. Destroy that probe, do whatever it takes.
[10:08][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"seems more likily that we are about to be overrun by an Imperial fleet...I recommend we hurry.
[10:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Do it!
[10:08][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Decloaking, sir
[10:09][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The Manta phases back and reveals itself.
[10:09][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Fire!
[10:10][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] Aye sir, wide spread!
[10:10][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] Aye sir, wide spread!
[10:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--watches the weapons fire streak toward the target-
[10:11][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Woodrow's spread streaks out towards the coordinates provided...and provides a firery explosion for the crew to watch in front of them.
[10:12][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Good shooting
[10:12][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Quickly, now... put our cloak back up, we don't know who else is nearby.
[10:12][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Aye sir
[10:13][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--quickly scans the result of the shooting.-
[10:13][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The Manta quickly recloaks.
[10:13][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-checks for any signs of further enemy transmissions
[10:13][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Reposition us, Wiebe, in case anyone saw us do that.
[10:14][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it looks like we got it..
[10:14][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Aye sir
[10:15][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"No way that was the only one they had out here, though.
[10:15][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*As the Manta moves away while in phase cloak...a wormhole opens on the viewer!
[10:15][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...Oh, fuck me.
[10:15][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:..languag
[10:15][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it swioerd that they would form it out here rather than inside the system.
[10:16][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Red alert! Options, people!
[10:16][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I thought we destroyed the probe?
[10:17][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I reccomend we alert the fleet immediately to the wormhole's location and report any hostile numbers that emerg
[10:17][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*As the the Manta goes to red alert, and a Tanusian ship begins to exit the wormhole...it collapses, and explosions internal to the ship are visible.
[10:17][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Interesting.
[10:17][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Do we have any gravimetric charges on board?
[10:17][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"So did I--- woah! Sick!" *His face lit up like a five year old watching a monster truck crushing a Honda Civic.
[10:17][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Doesn't look liek we need it ezri the wormhole destablizaed
[10:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..how wierd...i wonder what caused that?
[10:18][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Perhaps no anchoring probe
[10:19][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks over the sensor logs to see if she can spot the reason-
[10:19][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] Have we ever...destroyed a probe before one of their wormholes opened before
[10:19][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's my bet... good job, team!
[10:19][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I don't think so?
[10:19][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I do not believe so eithe
[10:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Hunkler i think onlky after they have been established
[10:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"okay...we can put that down as a win.
[10:20][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Scan the wreckage... we should see if there are any survivors we can pull out.
[10:20][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] A concern however...a successful cloaked probe deployment in the future would make a wormhole attack even more of a surprise
[10:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--scans for survivors.-
[10:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I guess we'll ahve to add that to the lsi tof things the wormhole sweeping teams look for.
[10:21][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We'll havde to report that to the rest of the fleet, too.
[10:22][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*She looks over at what ezri si doing.* " I am not sure anythign can survive what happened
[10:22][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i am not detecting any survivors..that is too bad we wont be able to torture anyone for information.
[10:22][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Ezri..
[10:23][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He sighed.* "We weren't going to torture them... we're not like them.
[10:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"The word is interrogate Ms Tegan
[10:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh yeah right I forgot we don't do that.
[10:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Right interogate...that is the word.
[10:23][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Some officers we could trade for our POWs would have been nice, though.
[10:24][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"That is true.
[10:25][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Curious...upon further review of the transmission to the probe i did detect..there appeared to be a remote transmission attempting to rebalance the probe's power levels...in pointof fact its cloak..a
[10:25][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:opposed to the rest of the probes systems..prior to its destruction
[10:25][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Uh... okay, can you follow the transmission to its source?
[10:26][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Attempting to do so now -tries to back trace the source
[10:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"It woudl make sense if they had a sentry vessel somewher enear her
[10:26][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed...it also appears they thoguht it might not work using the cloak alone
[10:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus rubbed his beard and leaned to the side of his chair.* "We'll have to find this sentry, then. But they're sure to have seen us.
[10:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Probably
[10:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Which may give us an idea..
[10:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Do you think Mr Snow could potentially change our warp signature
[10:28][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a brow- It appears the source of the transmission was from Kirta
[10:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:That's some signal
[10:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Kirtas?" *He blinked.
[10:29][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods once- Indee
[10:30][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"So it could've been directly from their command? I guess they were banking on no one spotting the probe at all.
[10:31][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:It appears there is asignal relay nearby as well...I am effortingto locate that now as well -efforts to do so
[10:31][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"What does fleet traffic look like?
[10:32][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"probably lucky we came by when we did.
[10:32][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-checks her ACCI updates as she does so- At first indication there were no major changes to the fleet status...reporte
[10:34][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I have tracked down the signal as best as I can thus far...it is coming from an asteroid field -sends ezri the coordinates
[10:34][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i'll is i can spot anything..
[10:35][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"An asteroid field... in Kirtas?
[10:35][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--scans the asteroid field.-
[10:35][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:No sir..a localized one out here with u
[10:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it is likily just a signal repeater..
[10:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i am not seeing anything..
[10:37][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:If it is a Sentry class ship as the doctor suggersted..it may have moved cloake
[10:37][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We should check, regardless. Take us in for a closer look.
[10:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:That woudl be an experimental one
[10:37][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Aye sir
[10:37][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indee
[10:37][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The cloaked Manta turns and heads towards the asteroid field.
[10:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*touched her cheek
[10:43][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He drummed his fingers on the armrest to a beat, murmuring under his breath,* "No phone, no lights, no motor car...
[10:43][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"the Sentry ships are they the ones with the telepaths on board?
[10:43][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:I think those are the maruaders
[10:44][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Sentries i beleive are equivalent to a Nova class
[10:44][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Just a bit bigger
[10:44][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Most likely crewed by their auxilliary species
[10:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..oh good...I don't feel like getting mind wiped today.
[10:45][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] I would not allow you to be mind wiped
[10:45][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] I would not allow you to be mind wiped
[10:45][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm not sure you'd have much say in the matter, Baker.
[10:45][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Uless Baker has ESP powers she is not telling us about.
[10:46][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks suspiciously at Cathy-
[10:46][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"She'd have popped our heads open a dozen times over if that was the case, Tegan.
[10:46][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Well...you never know..
[10:46][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*She says teasingly.
[10:47][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Ma'am Baker when we are done here i could use your help with an experiment in my lab..
[10:47][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Uhhh...sure
[10:47][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she smirked
[10:48][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..just involves some ESP ralated testing..
[10:48][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Of course...just testing
[10:48][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...right just testing..
[10:48][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Can we try and focus on the task at hand for now?
[10:49][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"aye sir.
[10:49][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Arriving at the asteroid field, sir
[10:50][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Ezri..we talked about this..you are not allowed to experimenton Catherine
[10:50][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"but, V'Tira I asked nicely.
[10:51][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed you did and it is appraciated...however that is not the issu
[10:51][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"is it the electric shocks? because I don't have to do that.
[10:52][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-ponders this a moment- ..we will discuess this further later...so you can once more make your case...fair enough
[10:52][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"fair enough.
[10:53][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods to that
[10:54][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The viewscreen displays a bunch of asteroids ahead of the Manta.
[10:55][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Looks like a bunch of asteroids to me. What does the scanner say?
[10:55][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks over the scanner data-
[10:55][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"there are indeed a lot of rocks out there sir.
[10:56][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-continues to look for enemy transmissions
[10:58][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus sat in the big chair and tried to look inspiring for the troops.
[10:58][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"ah ha...I am picking up traces of tetryon particles in the asteroid field.
[10:59][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Tetryon... those are the cloaky ones?
[10:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-rubs the bridge of her nose at that
[10:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Still...quiet out there sir...no further enemy transmissions detecte
[11:00][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] The Cardassians built their cloaking devices around tetryon particles, sir
[11:00][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] The Cardassians built their cloaking devices around tetryon particles, sir
[11:01][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"tetryon particles typical can only exist in a subspace envireonment..they decay quickly in normal space.
[11:01][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"So yes, the cloaky ones. Find the source.
[11:01][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Tachyons
[11:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"aye sir trying to find a source.
[11:03][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i have a trail of particles sir, headed toward the Kirtas system. We follow that we find the source of the particles.
[11:04][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Sending ocurse data to helm.
[11:04][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*His brow furrowed.* "All roads lead to Kirtas, it looks like.
[11:05][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] How far in do we want to go, sir? They could already be back with the rest of their forces
[11:05][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"just be careful helm, with two cloaked ships operating in the same space the chances of collision increase significantly.
[11:06][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We did what we came here to do, destroyed the probe before a wormhole could fully form. If they're already back to Kirtas it would be stupid to follow. We'll resume our course to Irial for now.
[11:07][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Aye sir
[11:08][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"a wise decision sir. No doubt why you were chosen for command.
[11:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Thanks, Tegan. You can have two scoops of ice cream tonight.
[11:09][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"thank you sir, you are truly a kind and benevolent leader.
[11:09][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Course laid in for Irial, sir
[11:09][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Damn right. Engage.
[11:09][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*As the Manta goes to warp, the episode transitions into a social for the evening...
[11:10][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Command will be most interested in those transmissions V'Tira..
[11:10][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Command will be most interested in those transmissions V'Tira..
[11:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nodnods- I will be sure to encrypt and encode the data to a command packag
[11:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-begins to do so
[11:12][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] If we could determine a pattern, it could be used to detect other transmissions to their wormhole probes
[11:12][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I am including our evidence that we discovered on the station as well
[11:13][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Very good." *He got up.* "Once you all finish your tasks, call up your relief. Baker, you have the bridge.
[11:14][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Aye sir
[11:14][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He headed off the bridge.
[11:14][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-keeps workingon her data packet
[11:15][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Miss Baker, ma'am do you have any heart conditions or are you prone to any kind of seizures?
[11:15][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Ummm...*she looks to T'lena*...not to my knowledge
[11:16][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Ezri.
[11:16][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus slipped into his office, unzipping his jacket and ordering a big bowl of sugar-frosted chocolate marshmallow cereal. He took the bowl to his desk for consumption.
[11:16][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"No electrodes or anything invasive.
[11:16][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"ok that is good enough...Yes doc?
[11:16][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The bowl was big and plentiful.
[11:17][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"the electrodea are not very big..
[11:17][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He stirred it around a bit to make sure the milk became all chocolatey, too.
[11:17][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Marcus magically creates chocolate milk.
[11:18][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Satisfied with his alchemy, he consumes the sugary breakfast cereal.
[11:18][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena raised and eyebrow
[11:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i promise to keep the voltage low..
[11:18][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*He receives +2 to his Alchemy skill on his next holodeck adventure.
[11:19][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena jsut looked at ezri in romulan
[11:19][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"People are more likily to manifest ESP powers under stress.
[11:20][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Wait...voltage?!?
[11:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"There are other methods to apply stress.
[11:20][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-to Catherine- she did say low voltage Catherin
[11:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at T'lena-- "like what?
[11:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well I'm sure v'tira can think of a few.
[11:21][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Uhhh I think I'll take the voltage, actually
[11:21][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods to that- I have a few ..suggestions Ezr
[11:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i mean fine i can rework the experiment..
[11:22][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Just remember Ezri...to ask Catherine for her safe word prior to the commencement of your experimentation
[11:22][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] What
[11:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i was beginning to suspect that the electric shocks were the reason i was having a hrad time getting volunteers anyway.
[11:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*chuckles
[11:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"right, V'Tira safety is important.
[11:23][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Perhaps..calling them something else might ...be more entincin
[11:24][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Stimulators.
[11:24][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy eyes V'Tira.
[11:24][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed -nods to the doctor
[11:24][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-avoids Catherines look
[11:24][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Ezri Can you describe this procdure>
[11:25][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:In detail for the classe
[11:25][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-looks over to Ezri at this
[11:25][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] I don't think that's necessary
[11:26][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Now now Catherine it will be good practice for Ezri when her thesis is peer reviewe
[11:26][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..It is basic ESP rating test...I pulled the procedure from the files of a Doctor Spencer with the Project Salvation.
[11:26][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Ezri...are you familiar with Project Salvatio
[11:26][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Now...what could go wrong with that
[11:26][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-deadpans
[11:27][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*As he ate, he cut a clip from the recording of the Tanausan ship being cut in half trying to come out of the collapsing wormhole and sent it to T'Ghor.
[11:27][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it involves basic tests like trying to guess hidden cards and such.
[11:27][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am not overly familiar...it was some sort of research organization.
[11:28][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Ezri are you sure thatis not the work of Doctor Venkmen
[11:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Doctor Venkmen?
[11:28][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"the electric shock thing was my own addition the original procedure did not call for it.
[11:28][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-to T'Lena- a fictional parapyschologist from the old earth 'movie' Ghostbuster
[11:29][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I am not familiar with a Doctor Venkmen when it comes to... a parapsychologist
[11:29][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:A term used in the film...I am not entirely sure what that is mysel
[11:29][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Ezri, Project Salvation become a rogue organization within Starfleet that was dismantled
[11:29][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..As far as I can tell the procedure if primarily and update form of Starfleet's own ESP rating test.
[11:30][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh they got shut down...that may be why i could not find any recent work from them.
[11:31][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a brow- Starfleets own ESPer tests involve electric shocks
[11:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh no V'Tira..like I said I added that part in on my own.
[11:32][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Naturally -nods
[11:32][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"We usually test via monitoring, but my experience with telepathic testign comes from rintegrating Betazoid borg victims or vulcan ones.
[11:33][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Ezri..have you tried..sensory deprivation test methods
[11:34][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Sure doc, that would be for actual telepaths. ESP is a much broader phenominon..And the test measures potential as opposed to actual ability.
[11:34][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Those are usually more useful.
[11:34][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"No V'Tira I have not tried that yet..mostly because I haven't got a sensory deprivation chamber.
[11:35][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"We have a small holodeck on this ship.
[11:35][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:or you could just put Catherine into a closet and lock the doo
[11:35][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i agree doc, actual ESP power are far more useful that the mere potentiual to develop them someday,..
[11:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it doesn't work like that V'Tira..
[11:36][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Oh...then of course you must go with the doctor's suggestio
[11:36][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"It would if you drugged her first.
[11:36][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks abrow- Go on doctor..
[11:37][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"that is a good idea doc..
[11:37][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-still avoiding looks from catherine
[11:37][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy shakes her head.
[11:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Psycotropics and a mood enhancer in addtion to a olfactory spray and a small hearign blocker.
[11:38][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Woudl cut off every sense, hearing taste, touch, being and smell, Dark for vision.
[11:38][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"the Salvation papers mentioned psychotropics and moode enhancers...But, i dont have any of those..
[11:40][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well then that can't be done.
[11:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"A shame for now, well thats my reprots I am going to go sleep for these 72 hours,
[11:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Jolan Tru.
[11:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena heads out
[11:42][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"night doc.
[11:42][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Rest well doctor
