Toby and I will jump in when we need To to offer tidbits or any barricades you may encounter. ENJOY! *muahahah* And on a more serious note. This vessel is called the Vimy Ridge for a reason; Her bridge quote is there for a reason. This week we honour her and we honour Soldiers of past and present. Please take the time to Remember on November 11th. ~~Weekly ramble~~ ***If you need an excusal please email vimyridge-command at 14th.org*** If there's a visible U showing in the current MR eligibility for awards or promotions is suspended. Please make certain your bios are up to date or else we can't promote or give out awards! Same goes for U's. If there's any on the MR I can't hand out an award to you. In addition to your own ineligibility; the CO of the vessel, which would be me, is not eligible for awards with a crew with incomplete bios. So let's keep those bios up to date. Bios requiring action to be considered complete (Personal History, Family info parents/siblings), Transfer History, Promo History)... see anybody in Command if you need help here Vilqa or Blake) HAPPY SIMMING! K`y ~*~*~*~ XO's rant: Let's keep things rolling and remember it only takes less than a minute to ask for an excusal if you can't log for the week. For our new crew, remember you need to put in one log a week to be considered active, and to count towards promotion that log needs to be something of substance, in a joint log it means more than a single line or two. If you cannot manage this, you need to request an excusal for the week, or an E, which is easy to do. Just contact K`y or I for it. Toby/Vanyel ~*~*~*~ 2O's Two Cents Worth: We got safely to the planet's surface without Cait dying or puking into her EVA suit. There's tons of stuff to do and find out and its all up to you guys to find out what sort of trouble you can find. Some orders have been given, so hop to it! :D Cait/Robyn ~*~*~*~ _____________________________________________________________________ II =/\= Promotions/Awards and Coming & Going =/\= Promotion/Awards: N/A Coming: N/A Leaving: N/A On Leave: Bowers ___________________________________________________________________ III =/\= Mission Summary Report =/\= Status: Yellow Location: In the Tzenkethi-Federation ___________________________________________________________________ IVa =/\= Last Week's Mission Objectives =/\= Department heads I really want to see you guys take control of your Departments and run them like little mini plots within the major plot.

Not too coincidentally, making sure that Kylee would be between the two of them meaning she would have to split her attention if she wanted to be polite, or would allow him to watch her unobserved as she spoke with the captain. Toby "I have no hidden agenda" Blake "Kylee bit back her initial response to Toby's words, her Klingon heritage pulling her towards performing the more risky situations." Kylee "I can not deny my self" Nix Matthew gave a grin. "Acknowledged. See you when we get back" he said as he closed the comms channel. He turned his head slightly. "ladies and gentleman, we thank you for choosing the Vimy-Ridge airways. We hope you have a somewhat enjoyable flight, the turbulance is rough so please fasten your saftey belts. Stewardess' will be around shortly with complimentary drinks. i am your pilot, Ensign Matthew Garret, and again, have a safe flight" he said jokingly. "And here we go" he said as he pressed some controls. Matthew "Safety first" Garrett A little frustrated that Nick hadn't sat near her, of course she'd almost expected that. Growing tired of the silence between them, it wasn't like she asked to be attacked it just happened and only because she was close to him. She lost herself in thought making plans to visit the holodeck and thoroughly vent.

From kylana.14th at gmail.com Fri Nov 13 13:53:31 2009 From: kylana.14th at gmail.com (Kylana ~) Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:53:31 -0800 Subject: [Vimyridge] SD941113.10 - Away Team Pt 3 - Blake (C), Lox, Saladin, Wilkinson, Reed, Garret, Juard, Daephon Message-ID: ((LOL I said I wasn't going to post this but it's getting longer -- )) "Everyone was suppose to be innoculated before we left the ship so we'll be fine for a while even if radiation gets through. Mister Reed, Security will be out the door first." Cait sat with her eyes closed still. Justin looked back at Cait "I'm not piloting this shuttle, and it is a very smooth ride.. why are you so tense? Problem with confined spaces Doc?" "Like I told Kat, Justin, I'm just ducky. Quack...quack.." Cait opened her eyes enough to roll them at Justin. "See?" Marcus chuckled while awaiting the craft to land. He felt a little like a child asking "Are we there yet" only the destination was probably no where near as comforting as it would have been if he were a child. Then he thought about all the children that were likely at their destination and he gritted his teeth together and then spoke up, "You know, we have a chance to save a great many lives on this mission. I'm glad I'm on your team, this is what it's all about." The shuttle rocked a little bit, jolting everybody. Matthew was using his visuals more than anything, something he excelled at in the academy. "Just hit a little bit of radiation turbulence," Matt said, "hang on everyone, we're landing." As the shuttle slowly descended upon the ground, everyone inside had their EVA Suits on and tightly sealed. The team could feel a little motion as the shuttle finally was on the ground. "Alright, we're here" he said as he spun around in his chair to face the group. Saladin held his stomach together at the slight rocking and looked across at Cait, wondering how it would affect his friend, "Alright Cait, your the most qualified on radiation procedure, you want to lead us out?" Nick was up the moment the shuttle had touched down, releasing his straps, the rest of his team followed suit, and were out the door. Weapons ready, scanning over the terrain for the moment to secure the perimeter, staying, for the moment, within the shields of the shuttle. A couple of the security crewmen would be scanning the surrounding area for any signs of life. While the rest, Nick included, were scanning the area over the sights of their weapons. Only once he was satisfied, and that there was no other danger aside from the immediate radiation, he'd give the 'perimeter secure' call back to Cait for her next order. Justin took his time getting out of his seat, and instead of stepping off the shuttle, went to the cargo area and started unpacking the fusion reactor. "We don't leave till security gives us the all clear." Cait did get herself unbuckled. Juard got up and when to get his med kit. He decided to take it with him just in case. Kat moved slowly from her seat moving not far from Cait keeping the pixie like doc in sight and awaiting further orders. she'd glanced to the other doc aboard having not really paid much attention before til she saw him reach for a med kit. She double checked her gear then grabbed her own med kit. "I'm doctor Kat Wilkinson and you are?" she said turning to Juard before moving to exit the shuttle with everyone else. "Doctor Juard. I am new on the ship." Juard replied. Justin looked up at the others "The shuttles shields will extend to one half kilometer in diameter once I have this up and running. Should take about 10 minutes." He was hooking the reactor's power output directly into the leads coming off the warp core. Cait headed for the door and looked over at Marcus. "Shall we?" She stepped out, looking towards where the caves were. "Kat, Juard...Let's go take a look at what we're dealing with, then we can decide how to set up. Mister Takis, can you please get us some radiation readings. I need to know what the levels are now." With that, the little doctor headed for the caves where people were still filing in. Marcus nodded to Cait and made his way out with them. Kat gave Cait a quick nod glancing to Juard. "welcome to chaos" she said with a smile gathering her thoughts and beginning to follow the pixie doc. "you heard the lady let's get a move on and see what we're dealing with." she added. "Alright. Thanks for welcoming me to the chaos."Juard said with a warm smile on his face. Kat followed along remembering the last away mission involving caves. 'lovely caves to explore' she muttered to herself. Understanding that this time was going to be much less entertaining. She sighed at that thought and kept moving. "So Juard what's your specialty?" she asked. Talking shop helped keep her mind off other things still needing to be dealt with. She looked around glancing briefly at Nick and to the other members of security realizing Azten was missing. - Hide quoted text - - Hide quoted text - Takis exited after most of the others. He carried more than enough equipment on his back, so he just waited around while the others unloaded, helping lift the heavier items when he could. He was always glad when his size was a benefit rather than a liability. He easily avoided getting in the officers' way, a talent most any crewman developed early on. Not only did officers rush around too much, but they tended to give you assignments on-the-fly if you crossed their paths, and not usually pleasant ones. He smiled from behind his faceplate, eager to get started exploring this rock. Right on schedule there was a loud hum as the fusion reactor started up and the shields extended their range. "Lox to away team." He used his comm. since he didn't know where everyone was. "Shield system is operational. The shield will allow us indefinite usage of the surface without having to worry about radiation." "Thank you Lox." Marcus looked around him, noting the haze and dreariness. "Alright, while Takis scans for radiation security keep scanning for life signs and an entrance to the rocks. "Cho'lu is inside, but anything other than short range communication still seems hampered. Lox can you work on opening a full working communication channel with the Vimyridge?" "Not a problem." Replied Justin as he climbed back inside the shuttle to set up a relay system for communications. <> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We don't want to put you in a situation of unnecessary risk." Toby's voice was calm, soft, and gentle one might even say concerned for her physical well being. Kylee bit back her initial response to Toby's words, her Klingon heritage pulling her towards performing the more risky situations. "I believe that the only way to properly locate the exact location is to go out there and search for any signs that the probe may be unable to run, due to the effects from the flares as well as the area itself, which the shuttle, with access to more power, may be able to detect," she said, trying to word it so that she would be allowed to go, since she was going a bit stir crazy on board the ship, wanting to test this theory in person, not stuck staring at more data. A brief glance toward Toby pulled the Captain's attention away from Nix for a few moments. "Have you spoken with the security on the matter of possible dangers you may be facing not of the natural kind of the flares?" The comment was of course intended for Nix as her eyes once more fell to the Science Chief. Kylee sighed softly, beginning to think it might have just been easier for her to go to the planet. "No captain, but I know what I could run in to out there. It's not as though I do not understand the risks, both natural as well as anything caused by those out there that may be responsible for this problem," she said. "I have been in dangerous areas before with my research and I have learned to prepare for any scenarios that may occur." The part klingon Captain's hands clasped together loosely, "You cannot go out there alone. I want you to take someone who is apt for maneuvering the shuttle in a possible hostile territory. Bring Master Chief Petty Officer Smith with you, place him in the pilot's seat. His sole focus will be piloting and monitoring your safety. This way you can focus on your research." "On top of that, he realizes the limited nature of the protecitons found on a shuttle. They don't come equipped, normally, with a large array of weapons, and the shields are not as resilliant as those of a starship." Toby chimed in, "With the protections against the radiation, there will be less in the way of other defenses." He didn't say it, but he doubted that Kylee truly understood the dangers of being out in a shuttle, she would be more vulnerable than if she were on the planet with a working phaser in hand, especially if she were alone. Kylee nodded, the excitement building as she thought about her circuit to find the data she needed. She hadn't been off the ship since the Tamco, and was excited to actually be able to do research almost completely on her own. She turned her gaze to Toby, nodding a bit more slowly. She knew what she was doing, and understood how vulnerable she would be in the shuttle. The benefit of the shuttle would be its manuveurability. The Captain nodded, "Yes that does mean you can go Lieutenant," her hand raised with caveat, "You will have four hours then I will require you to return. I am sorry if this does not fit into plans but we cannot have you lingering there as a target for too long." "Yes Captain," she said, hiding the disappointment at the short time, but planning to make the most of it. "I will Master Chief Petty Officer Smith in the shuttle bay then?" "You will contact him and arrange with him." Vilqa stated, "After your time out we can discuss whether any further outings can or will occur." Sipping his coffee, Toby sat quietly watching Kylee, hoping the woman could hear the finality in the captain's tone, and not try to push it. Kylee nodded, looking between the two of them. "I will contact him quickly to set up a departure time," she said, thankful she'd even been allowed to go. Vilqa nodded, "Is there anything else you needed Lieutenant?" Kylee shook her head, gathering up her PADDs. "No captain, unless there is anything else you or the commander wished to tell me before I contact Smith," she said, prepared to take her leave of them if there was nothing else. "No I have nothing else Lieutenant," Vilqa replied, "And you Commander?" "I have nothing else to say at this time." Toby drained his coffee after speaking and looked like he was now trying to decide if he should nap or go work. "I shall speak with you after the investigation then," she said, giving a quick nod before turning and exiting the room, immediately tapping her comm badge to contact Smith. ---------------------------------------------- Respectfully Submitted Captain K`ylana Vilqa Cmdr Toby Blake XO Lt Kylee Nix ChSci Officer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
