Mission: Where are we?
LCARS: : Attention On Deck
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder: aa
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: ::attn::
Portman> ::attn::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: we're waiting for some of the late comers
❙ Keera Rey: ::aa:: [is this how you all do it?]
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: [very good]
Ens Rey is our new science officer.
I'm guessing Janet is still on bed rest.
I'm just glad she's home from the hospital.
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: She mentioned maybe making Aldrin on Monday, but other than that I don't know, so I guess that would be the best assumption, sir.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: She has to ease herself into things now.
Edwards was here a little while ago....
Not happy with 3 regulars and 1 new person to sim with......::sighs::
Let's give it until 15 past the hour
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder: Not like my Aegis sim no.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: Hmmm
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Yea....a lot of sims have this in the group...lack of people wanting to sim......I don't know many old timers who were in the group years ago...they seem to have gone to other sims.
I guess we got the crew, except for Janet. Let's put it to a vote...sim or cancel?
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: I am good with sim. We do have a lull, sorta. Which we could introduce Keera. Toss around ideas what to do about the ship?
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: We can do that. Edwards? Gaavr? Rey?
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder: Sure
❙ Keera Rey: I could come from Beta or Gamma or a different shift?
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Yes, do that, please.
Okay...you all read the brief?
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: Aye, sir.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: Yes sir
❙ Keera Rey: Yes, Sir.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Okay...let's give it a try.
LCARS: Begin Sim
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: ::Cummings stands over the display table in the back of the bridge.::
Opinions?
LtBradley>::Is at the helm.::
It's been 2 hours since we found that ship. Sensors aren't able to detect the ship and scans aren't telling us anything.
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder: :: Calder is walking the ship ::
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: ::Valarig gave a look as well:: I can't get anything really, and I still don't know, like you said, Captain, why I can't.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::looks over::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: It's not a mirage.
❙ Keera Rey: ::Rey looked to the Captain. She did not know what to say::
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder: :: Gaavr is on the comms ::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: I don't like trying to plan something when we can't see inside that ship.
Do we leave the area?
Don't like putting the crew at risk.
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: What about a shuttle pod or a probe to get closer scans?
::Giving a look to Keera:: Welcome, Ensign.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: I recommend a probe. Too risky sending a shuttle.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: But if our sensors can't detect it, how would a probe do any better?
I'd love to find out why our sensors didn't detect it.
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: I don't know to be honest. Its I suppose, potentially there is a dampening field and if the probe gets past that then we can get readings.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: That is a good possibility
❙ Keera Rey: Who is to say that they wouldn't destroy the probe?
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: ::Cummings looked at the readout.:: Who's to say that there's anyone aboard that ship? We've been hailing it for two hours...all frequencies.
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: Ensign Rey is right, they might.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: As Valarig mentioned, there could be a dampening field blocking our scans and hails.
Many possibilities.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: We're suppose to be explorers...let's be explorer's. Prep a shuttle, we're going over. EVA suits for everyone.
::He looked at the crew.:: What are you all standing around for?
Move!
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: Yes sir.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: You too, Mr Bradley.
Bradley>Aye sir.
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: Yes, sir. ::Turning to move out and to not to Natalie to just stay there at Tactical.::
❙ Keera Rey: ::She stood up, but before she could speak another thought. She left the room, heading to get her EVA suit.:: * * This is stupid She muttered to her self. * *
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::heads over to where they stash the EVA suits::
LCARS: The relief crew arrives on the bridge.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Bradley>::Goes to suit up.::
::Heads down to the hanger deck, and pulls out his EVA suit.::
::When he's suited up, grabs a phaser.::
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::suits up and grabs a phase pistol::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Bradley>::Suited up, goes and preps the shuttle.::
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: ::The both of them were moving then instead and heading to get suited up. Richter did the external checks for the shuttle and gave the all clear::
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::steps in the shuttle::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: ::Walked over and boarded the shuttle.::
::Nods to Bradley.::
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder: :: Gavvr suits up ::
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: Portman> ::Suited, she got a seat in the shuttle::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings:
Bradley>::Sitting at the pilot position.::
::Sits in the co-pilots seat::
::looks back at the crew.::
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: All set Captain
::nods to him::
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: ::Movies in as well, not sure where he was wanted, at first but Devon took co-pilot, so that works, then one of the other seats::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: We're going to proceed to the alien ship, and hopefully, if there is someone on board, they won't shoot us, but communicate with us.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: Here's hoping
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Mr Bradley, get us out.
Bradley>Aye sir.
LCARS: Bradley lifted the shuttle off the hanger deck, then flew it out of the hanger and plotted a course towards the alien ship.
❙ Keera Rey: :She felt crowded, but kept it to herself.:
LCARS: The shuttle glided past asteroids, heading toward the alien ship.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Bradley>ETA 4 minutes, captain.
::Starts running sensors, aiming at the alien ship.:: Still no readings.
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: Portman> ::Glances at Rey a moment:: You okay?
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Bradley>I'd say that the alien ship is probably twice Ares size, sir.
We're getting closer...so far they haven't taken a shot at us.
❙ Keera Rey: We might have been safer with a probe first.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: We're here to explore, ensign, sometimes that comes with risks.
❙ Keera Rey: ::looked to Portman:: I am fine.
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: Portman> ::She gave a thought a moment.:: Perhaps, but the Captain's orders.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: Any airlocks?
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Bradley> 2 minutes sir.
Bradley>We'll have to get closer to look for airlocks without sensors, commander.
LCARS: The shuttle reaches the alien ship.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: ::Looks out the front window, marveling at the size of the alien ship.::
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: My God, that's a big ship...
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Lieutenant. Start a stand search pattern, find us an airlock.
❙ Keera Rey: ::Leaned over to see the Alien ship:: It looks Freakishly Creepy.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Bradley> Aye sir. ::The shuttle starts flying around the alien ship.::
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::looks at the scans::
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: Portman> We tend to run into that, you'll get used to it.
LCARS: After 15 minutes of searching.....
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Bradley>Captain, I think I found an opening.
Bradley>::Stops the shuttle over the opening.:: Could be an airlock.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::looks it over::
It'll have to do.
Initiate docking procedures.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Bradley>Aye sir. ::Slowly the shuttle rotates into position, and when it gets in range, the portable airlock extends.:: Solid lock, sirs.
::Stands:: Everyone, check your phasers, set them to stun.
Bradley>::Checks his phaser::
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::checks his pistol and sets it for stun::
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: ::Both Richter and Natalie double checked them to be sure:: All set here, Captain.
Portman> ::Digs out her tricorder as backup for now since the majority of them were likely to have their phase pistols out.::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Check your suits are working, and close the helmet.
::Walks to the shuttle door.::
Activate magnetic boots.
❙ Keera Rey: ::She has her tricorder, scanning the area. Rey was not used to the pistols::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: ::Looks around, seeing everyone ready.:: Mr Valarig, led the way.::Opens the shuttle door.::
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder: :: Gaavr is looking around :":
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::is set::
Here we go
LCARS: There is a hatch on the alien ship at the end of the airlock. It's dark inside the airlock.
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: Understood. ::moving to climb up the ladder and get up out and first. Giving a look about. Helped that he could see in the dark a bit better.:: Not sure if we care compatable with this airlock or how to open it.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: ::Follows Valarig out of the shuttle. His helmet lights make moving easier.::
::looks at what appears to be controls for the hatch.::
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::looks at Natalie and nods with a smile::
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: Portman> ::Would go ahead and take up the rear, nodding to Matt.::
LCARS: There are 3 buttons on the alien ship above the hatch.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::follows the crew::
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder: Gaavr > Anything?
LCARS: A different symbol is one each button...a square, a triangle and a circle.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Anyone have a guess?
::Reaches over and presses....the button with the circle.::
LCARS: The hatch to the alien ship opens.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: Oh.
Well now we know that means 'open'
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: ::Let's Valarig go first, so he can check if anyone is around.::
Try your tricorders now.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: ::pulls out his tricorder and scans::
❙ Keera Rey: ::slaps her tricorder and then she begins to get readings:: It worked
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: ::Steps out of the airlock and onto the alien ship.::
LCARS: Pause
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards: Tricorders are working
::paused::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Good job all.
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: ::paws::
Portman> ::paws::
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder: :: paused and outta here ::
❙ Keera Rey: ::She paused::
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Bye Gaavr.
And again welcome Ens Rey to our little family, lost in space.
❙ Keera Rey: I am late for bed. I have work in the morning.
Thank you.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: feel free to write some logs about how we did to this point.
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: [Welcome Rey! hopefully it wasn't to confusing and you enjoyed your first session with us.]
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Commander, anything to add?
❙ Keera Rey: [It was very confusing. I don't understand the different brackets that people use. Can we stick to one form?]
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: what would you prefer?
Let me know what you think would be better, Rey.
No questions?
TBS 15 seconds.
❙ Keera Rey: the ( once would do, I believe.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: okay
❙❙ Lt Valarig- <<<●) CPO Portman: Oh. I just use [ ] for OOC. They use ( )
I'm weird.
❙❙❙❙ CaptainDevonCummings: Again good job everyone..I know it was a little confusing at first.
Have a good week, and see you next wednesday.
Crew dismissed...and good night
LCARS: Simm Off
