Subject: [Vimyridge] SD950118.12 - Duty Log - Ens Sorala Fen
Message-ID: <a5f38da01001181218r2cb45fd2rb23552fa04ea6667@mail.gmail.com>

<<Posting this on behalf of Ens Fen.. Great job on your first ever log :)>>

Sorala woke up to the sound of the computer. She felt as if someone had tied
a rope around her waist and pulled hard and she was sweating. "Think ,
think! ok, right I need to report to the Cheif engenier." She walked over to
her storage compartment and took out her uniform, silently she put on her
uniform and sat on the bad for a minuite to gather her thoughts. She could
her the soft buzzing noise of the Galaxy class starship and the dim lights
relaxed her enough for Sorala to get up and start walking to engeniering.

 She walked swiftly and appeared calm but was still nervous inside.She was
trying to remember all of her starfleet engeniering training so that she
wouldent mess up causing an awkward incident undoutably involving the
sentance "Its ok everybody makes mistakes to begin with". Sorala's pretty
low self esteem was flying through her head. "The best i can hope for is not
to screw up! I hope I dont let the captain down on my first day aboard the
Vimy Ridge, I would hate to upset anybody so soon", She thought. Sorala laid
sight upon the Turbolift.

 She entered the turbolift, "Deck 36, main engeniering"
The turbolift lift started moving, slowly at first and then faster and
faster. "This isn't like the simulations or shuttlecrafts, there's a
majestic pulsating feeling...". The doors opened and before Sorala was the
warp core, wonderous, glowing and fully operational.

 Sorala was ordered to perfom routine maintenance on deck 6 of the saucer
section. She decided that she should get a bit a exercise and use the
Jefferies tubes to get there. It was much harder than the simulations on the
holodecks and far hotter. Sorala found herself wiping the sweat off of her
face and yet it gave her a strange pleasure. When she got there Sorala felt
comfortable and at home with all the science going on around her and was
really starting to enjoy her work.

 She moved on to the other transported rooms, some of them had some very
minor malfunctions in the lesser systems, nothing life threatening. She was
soon completely transfixed in her work and whiled away a good portion of the
day making sure that absoloutly nothing was wrong on Deck 6 saucer section.
She was very happy that nothing was going wrong so far and the crew all
seemed friendly,smiling or nodding at her when she passed them in  the
corridoors.

 Sorala was then told to repair a replecator in Ten Forward. This made
Sorala a little more nervous. "what if i get something wrong and they have
to call someone else to repair the replicator?relax Sora you've done this
hundreds of times before on the holodeck! Relax it'll
be ok".

 When she got their Sorala found ,with at least a little poking around, that
the replicator was
not recieving the order because of a problem in the voice recognition
subroutines. "That should do the trick!" ,Sorala said, "One um.. Vulcan
spice Tea." The tea materialized in a cup in front of her. Sora took a sip
of the tea , paused, and then said "Yep, its working now, sure enough". The
vulcan spice tea gave off a rich and yet bland smell that contredicted
itself, it was Relaxing and she felt as if her synesis had been opened as
she drank. "thank you she said".

 Sorala then reported back to engeniering, where she was told to finish the
day "at least for now". So she wen't to the holodeck. She steped inside.
"Computer , program a gymnasium, 60square feet. Now program a balance board,
width 2 feet, length .. 15 feet.Add a punching bag, hanging from the cieling
by an iron chain and filled with sand. Ok now a cycling machine
specially for someone who is 1.77 meters tall. Save program as Sorala
Gymnasium."

 She began her normal fitness routine for times when she had to get rid of
excess energy,
She did pressups until her arms began to hurt, and then sit-ups until her
stomach hurt. After this she proceded to Run 50 laps of the gymnasium.
Although not an incredibly demandy work out it helps her to relax.

 She headed back to her quarters at around 21 hundred hours and sat down at
a chair.
"Computer, is Beethovens 5th synphony stored in data banks?" "Yes" Replied
the computer.
"Computer , Play that file." Sorala sank back into her chair and listened to
the music. She could feel her muscles relaxing and she was filled with a
warm , joyus feeling and she slowly ambled over to he storage compartment
and took out her pyjamas.  "Computer , one glass of water ." The water
formed and Sorala took it and put it by her bed. "Dim lights." the lighting
level droped and Sorala Changed into her pyjamas. "Computer wake me up at 05
hundred hours". She took a gulp of water and turned so she was facing her
left side. She lisened to the
Soft Humming noise of the ship and reflected back on her day. "Today was
enjoyable, im looking forward to tommorow , i think that ill be able to feel
at home here, and im looking forward to getting to know the crew better".
Then her eyes closed and she drifed into a deep sleep.

Captain's Address:

New CSec -- check! New Engineer -- check!! Things are looking up and the
logs are moving along quite nicely again. :) Keep up the great work and 
think good thoughts for Mike ((Saladin)) as he's had a tough week with some
flooding in his home then a car accident. 

 ~~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!

XO's rant:

So we're starting to run out of time. Radiation is rising, and people are
dying, and yet still don't seem to want to leave. Haven't had any good news
from Nix other than she hasn't been hurt. Hopefully she finds something
soon.

Toby/Vanyel

2O's Two Cents Worth:

Things are really picking up planetside now and the logs are moving right
along. Remember, your EVA suit is your friend. :D

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. Let's
see some direction logs for those working under you to get orders.

If any department heads notice simmers in their departments are not
logging part of having a department head role is to assist them and give
orders - I'll be watching for this as it's part of the responsibility of
the department head and something to be taken into consideration with
awards and promotions in the possible future.

OVERALL: ... anybody speculate just what's up?

Helm (NPC): Fly us steady
Security: Prepare for anything on or off vessel, work with Nix. Be on alert
to go planetside
Engineering: Get our shuttles ready and be on alert to go planet side
Medical/Councelling: Work with Nix and general day to day and prep for a
venture off vessel/inoculations. Work out the Wilkinson issue.
Science/Ops: Continue your research/prepare to go planetside.

DuMont -- get to know the new security officer. :)
Fen -- your department head is on the planet's surface so let us know if you
think you can handle a spot on the bridge or if you want to ease in there
a bit more slowly? :)

*Crew will be counted in crew numbers after their initial log.
**New crew members, unless leave is approved by Command, must log an initial
log within 2 weeks or will be removed from the roster.**

Legend:

Active = A
Excused = E
Resigned = R
Unexcused = U
Leave = L
Review = RV
Transfer = T
Katan'ka = K
Non Player Character = NPC^

*At the Captain's discretion a player may get logging credit by playing an
NPC if it is beneficial to a plot or if for example a player is in
non-responsive in sickbay so they play an NPC character pivotal to the plot.


** Absences **

Excused absences must be cleared through your command staff(
vimyridge-command at 14th.org )

ie: Just email us and tell us you can't log :)

If we do not hear from you after 3 weeks within 5, your character may be
moved to an NPC status and then dropped from the roster. *Remember, a U
above removes eligibility for awards or promotion until we no longer see the
U on the MR.*

I got a U? I had been trying to get someone to do a log with me during that
time but everyone I spoke too seemed busy, inactive, or unresponsive.

	Blake, Blake, Lox, Saladin, Wilkinson, NPC Bridge Crew
Message-ID: <a5f38da01001190656i667d2ff4ua4b7249b2f42ac2d@mail.gmail.com>

[Vimy]

"I see, what we really need to know is the situation down there? Has anyone
been able to convince the locals to be transported off the planet to safety?
Saladin mentioned they weren't wanting to be moved." Toby sighed, and pushed
down the less than polite or kind thought he had about Cait trying to save
the life of someone who may not really want saving.

[shuttle]

"No idea Commander." Justin looked over at Cait "Doc?  Do you have an
answer?"

"I hadn't heard anything new." Cait replied as she worked on the woman. "But
something seemed...odd. When I was taken over to those who were ill, Xoron,
who appeared to be one of the leaders, told me that the first person who had
taken sick, was better. In actuallity, she was nearly dead." Cait rechecked
the scans and sighed, motioning for the tech to stop. "There's complete
organ failure. Its like she's dissolving from the inside. There's nothing we
can do except make her comfortable." The Doc's voice sounded weary and
depressed.


[Vimy]

"Try not to take it personal Doc, it isn't your fault that she was shown to
you too late. If the innoculations are done, try to see if you can get any
of them to agree to being evacuated, if not, it just might be time to come
home." He worked very hard to keep his voice firm, with just enough
compassion to show he wasn't unfeeling of what they were going through down
there, but time for the team was starting to run out if Nix didn't find an
external cause to the flares soon, they'd have to abandon them to their
fate.

"I know its not my fault and we can't save everyone. It frustrates me
because I
just can't figure out why she didn't get any care. There are things any
doctor
could do to slow things down and there had to be doctors here." Cait ran her
fingers through her short hair.

"Captain," said a blueshirt at the science console, "Sensors have picked up
seismic activity about one hundred kilometres south west but I was not
able to determine the severity."

Vilqa's brow furrowed, "Lox did you pick that up? Seismic activity has been
picked up. The cave structures; do you see weaknesses? And confirm if you
pick up the activity at your location."

[Surface]

"Detected activity, it is really deep.  By the time it reached the surface
it was a minor tremor.  For the moment, not something to worry about.. by
itself." Lox replied.  "The caves are showing no signs of weakness.. they
are volcanic though.  If there is a magma pool under that mountain
still... it could start to get really hot in there if it decided to start
making its way to the surface."

[Vimy]

"Lox," Vilqa had no qualms, "Monitor the situation however the moment you
detect possible danger to the team recall everybody and take them out. We
have no room for heroism." The part klingon knew she had the majority of
her senior team members on the surface and the Ridge could not afford to
lose her whole senior staff team. She hoped Cait heard her words as well.

After a look at the Captain Toby spoke, "Commanders, we really need to know
what is going on with the locals, and get you people out of there before its
no longer safe to do so. Please return to the others and let us know as soon
as possible what is going on."


[Shuttle]

Lox nodded, though nobody could hear him do so, "Understood Captain,
Commander.  I request that you have engineering prep a seismic probe and
fire it into the valley on the far side of the mountains from where we are
located.  It will assist in the detection, without causing additional risk
to those in the caves from it's impact.  I will also relay to Commander
Saladin that we need to get those people off the planet right away, and
that their alternative is death here from the radiation."  He turned and
did a quick scan of Cait's suit, and the suit of the Med tech that came
back with her.


[Vimy Ridge]

"Understood Commander," then Vilqa warned, "However we cannot force anybody
off the planet against their will."

Toby shook his head and sighed, glancing at the captain, then rolled his
eyes.

[Shuttle]

Justin then reset his comm. to change contactees "Lox to Salidan, I need to
speak with you privately if possible."  He frowned as the readings showed up
from his scans.

Saladin was with Wilkinson, about to help the medical officers with some of
the extra work when Justin's comm came in. He nodded to Wilkinson and
stepped aside, "Saladin here. I hear you." He paused, "I'll make my way back
to the caves entrance, should be maybe five minutes or so. That quick
enough?" If he only went half way back the caves might echo his words and
others might overhear.

"Fair enough." Lox replied. He tapped him comm to close the connection and
wait.

"Doctor Blake, I recommend full EVA suits, at all time if we are here for
much longer.  Radiation levels are increasing faster than anticipated.
The metaphasic shields are holding, but the ground is still soaking up
Mega-rads of of radiation, and conveying that into the caves via the air
and water, and along mineral veins.  I suspect they were giving that woman
water that was heavily contaminated. " Lox said while he waited for
Saladin to contact him back.

[Caves]

Kat looked over as she'd overheard Saladin's com. And then grew concerned
as she saw him step away. She paused her work in dealing with the group of
people next to her  and turned to scan the area around them. The tricorder
revealed slight increases in the radiation. She swallowed hard as she
looked again hoping she was just seeing things. She tapped her com trying
not to add panic to her voice though any empath around would sense her
worry. "Wilkinson to Doctor Blake" she said. She'd felt slight vibrations
under her feet and thought nothing  of it though now it was a different
matter.

"Blake here. How are things progressing with the inoculations?" Cait replied
back.

"Things are pretty well wrapped up as far as the inoculations go." she told
her.
Kat's voice seemed to quiver a bit as worry or was it fatigue that was
catching
up with her. "I've run across a few severe cases of radiation poisoning, I
gave
them enough meds to keep them comfortable." she told her. "I'm not sure how
much
more we can do for these people if they're determined to remain in these
caves."
she added with a frown. It would be evident that the doctor was growing
weary of
being in the caves. "I've made a few scans of the caves and the results have
me
a little worried , is there anything new I should be aware of?" she asked.

"Radiation levels are increasing. The rest I'd rather tell you in person. We
have to find some way of getting through to these people or they're all
going to be dead....and in a most unpleasant way. I'm bringing the scans of
the woman we brought to the shuttle. I also want everyone back in full EVA.
Helmets and all." Cait sounded as weary as Kat.


Kat sighed heavily as she adjusted her helmet making her rounds with the
team running a quick scan over the suits to ensure they were holding up.
"The only way I can think of to reason with them at this point
.....is...........I suppose we just need to be blunt and tell them  how
important it is that they evacuate with us now." she said as she had stepped
a few feet away from the people so as not to cause alarm just yet. "other
than that I'm open to suggestions Cait." she added.

Message-ID: <a5f38da01001190700h625dd20bp74cbb10a149a5916@mail.gmail.com>

Marcus made his way through the tight caverns, they didn't seem quite as
narrow as when they had entered, but that, he reflected, might be because
he didn't have the head section of his EVA on fully. Speaking of which, he
should decidedly correct that now. The closer he was to the entrance, the
more chance of contamination.  He wondered what Lox might need to speak to
him about privately. Caitlin had just returned to the shuttle with one of
their injured, might there be something medically wrong that they had
overlooked?

Eventually he reached the entrance and quickly ran the short space towards
the shuttle. There was something about being in the open on a planet full
of radiation that unnerved him. The shields and suits did nothing to
alleviate that worry. "Commander." He smiled grimly as the shuttle doors
opened and he walked inside.

"Commander.  You didn't have to come all the way back, but since you are
here... Let me show you as well as tell you." Lox said "Inside the shuttle
you can remove your helmet.. " He pulled up the radiation levels, the
sismic scans, and the like "We have less than 48 hours before this get to
the point of no return.  We need to get these people off the planet.
That's Captain's order as well.  We have to convince them that it is
necessary. "

Marcus blinked and fell quiet a moment, his eyes scanning and rescanning
the data that Lox had just shown him. He bit back a remark and thought
back to what the inhabitants had said to him upon first contact. "That is
not going to be easy."

"If they don't wish to go, we can't force them.  We have to convince them,
that's the only tool we have.  Next, sismic readings are picking up.  If
this continues, the caves could become unstable, however, unless something
changes, everyone will already be dead from radiation exposure before that
happens.  I just wanted you to be aware of it.  You are inside a volcano,
and things could change at a moment's notice."  Lox continued.

This time Saladin scratched the side of his face in quiet contemplation.

"And last, but most important... everyone will need to wear their EVA
suits, sans helmet for now, and with helmet starting in about 8 hours or
they will risk radiation levels that will four them out of starfleet." Lox
did not look happy.

Marcus stood stunned a moment longer, then training and protocol kicked
in. "There's been no news from the asteroids? Nothing that might prevent
this radiation overload? And the seismic activity you have indicated, is
it local or world wide?"

Justin shook his head. "So far as I can tell.. world wide.  I'm not the
one tracking it all, just keeping the readings I can get and relaying them
to the ship, as well as watchign them for the team's safety.  I've not
heard anything from the ship about the away team inthe asteroid field.  I
am hoping they can find a reason for the flares so we can stop them.  I
have several theories, but unless we can get proof that one of they is the
right one, I cannot risk even suggesting we try any of them.  If I am
wrong, the cure for most of them will destroy both planets, and possibly
the ship if we cant get to warp 9 in time."

"You offer a pretty bleak view of things commander." He let out a sigh,
"Well, I
suppose I should head back and try and work with the doctors to knock some
sense
into these people. I understand honor and dying with your planet, but there
has
to be a better way." He placed a hand on the console in front of him."I know
the
true seismic shocks are not set to hit us until after death by radiation."
He
gave a bitter sardonic smile, " But what dangers does it offer us until that
point?"

Cait had been listening to the conversation. "One thing we could try is to
show
them the 3D scans of the woman I brought back. Its not a pleasent death and
even
the children would be facing it. Need to point out as well that their food
and
water is now contaminated.I also reccommend we go to full EVA with the
helmets
from the start. We have no idea if the radiation will increase faster than
current scans indicate."

"At the moment the shocks are too deep to be an issue, other the shake
things a
bit, but if they start to surface, you are in the historical path of a known
magma eruption.  If they start getting worse.. I'll try to warn you before
they
can start damaging the magma tube you are all hiding in, which makes it VERY
stable vs. an earthquake. " lox replied "I agree with Dr. Blake. Full time
suits
should scare them without panicking them."

[Vimy]

Looking into the mirror she adjusted her twin pigtails and smoothed down her
uniform as she looked around, noting she still needs to unpack as three
small boxes sat in the corner of her bare quarters. Walking over to her bed
she put her hand on her Aldean music instrument and closed her eyes letting
her body play a soft pained melody before turning and sticking her phaser in
her belt to slip out to the main corridor. Walking with her back straight
and a intimidating look on her tiny form she mustered the courage and
entered the turbolift to go to the security chiefs office. Moving to the
door she hit the call button and said, "Sir, Ensign Marie Lyndosee reporting
in."

When he left, the security chief left a setting on the door. "Security Chief
DuMont is on the bridge" the computer rang out

"Damn it", Marie though and turned quickly and walked down the corridor and
to the turbolift. "Computer Main Bridge please". The turbolift lifted up and
stopped at the bridge and she stepped out. The small four foot girl looking
almost like a child in a halloween costume with her hair in two pigtails as
she walked up and stood in attention and saluted the security chief. "Ensign
Marie Lyndosee, at your service Sir!"


As the turbo lift doors opened, Toby turned to see who was arriving, not
seeing anyone at first he stood up and looked. One blond brow climbed
towards his hairline as he saw a woman in starfleet uniform shorter than his
wife. He watched her ignore the fact that the captain and executive officer
were both present to go to the tactical station, salute and address the
security chief. He lowered his gaze to the captain and shrugged, before he
looked back at the short ensign. "Ensign is there a problem?"

were both present to go to the tactical station, salute and address the
security chief. He lowered his gaze to the captain and shrugged, before he
looked back at the short ensign. "Ensign is there a problem?"

She stands straight quickly and whispers, "No sir, nothing wrong. Protocol
requires

I report to my direct superior as soon as I am checked by medical and
approved for active duty. As soon as I have followed protocol I will be
ready to do any tasks you have." Noting the chief of security is busy she
stands in attention off to the side until ordered by any superior to do
otherwise.


- Hide quoted text -
"And just when did you plan on reporting to either the captain or myself
Ensign..." He paused so she could provide her name and realize the error in
not reporting to command with her orders.

Looking confused she tensed and whispered, "I was told to report first to
the security chief after the medical examination and then to speak to the
executive staff as the security chief would have further orders for me for
when I speak to executive staff." her face obviously confused do to being
told to speak to the security chief first when given her orders but starting
to feel she got confused or mislead or someone forgot to give her the proper
instruction. "As the security chief is busy I assume protocol will allow me
to bypass him and report to you and the captain first or would that cause
trouble do to chain of command?"


Vilqa only just now focused her gaze on Lyndosee, "Now is not the most
appropriate time to be on the bridge Ensign." It was the calm, strained
voice that many who had served with her over the years knew meant to not
push the next button.

"Captain. We have received a message from Smith. Their shuttle is about to
dock." Attention turned away from Lyndosee, "Very good. Inform Nix to report
to the bridge with her findings," ordered the Captain to which she got a
quick nod and could hear the officer forwarding her orders.

Dark sapphire eyes once more were on Lyndosee, "Name Ensign. I need your
name and where are your orders?" Her hand outstretched waiting for the PADD.


[Shuttle]
"I should get back. I'll leave Mary there to monitor the patient." Cait
turned to get ready when the alarms went off in the medbay again. Gritting
her teeth, Cait hurried back to check on things, quickly turning off alarms
and not making a move to try and resucitate the patient. "Record, time of
death....15:26." Mary quietly covered the body as Cait recorded her final
notes and pulled up the 3D display. Turning back to the other two, her face
was tight. "That's what's going to happen to the others if they don't
evacuate. Its a horribly painful way to die too." Teeth grinding, the doc
got her helmet on and stalked for the door.


Marcus looked after Cait, "They should leave, it's illogical to say." Then
he turned to Lox, "I'll just take a moment to do as you suggested and store
the informational pictures of how she died. They can't ignore that." He
shook his head and moved to the console to do just that. "You should stay
here and keep monitoring the planets condition. Give us as much warning as
you can if anything changes." Another look at Cait, "Commander, with your
permission I'll catch up with you as soon as I can."

"Can't argue its illogical, Marcus, but getting them to agree to move is
another thing entirely..and sure, catch up when you can." Cait replied.

[Vimy}
"Doctor," Vilqa waited, "Lox is Blake still within comm range? If not I need
you to get me an assessment of approximately how many survivors we are
looking to evacuate. USS Mistral is on standby 500 kilometres away and USS
Lapin is at our disposal should we require her."


"She is still here Captain." Justin reported.  "Doctor Blake?"  He looked
over to her.

"There's several hundred natives in that cave, so yes, we're going to need
the help of those other vessels if we convince them to evacuate, Captain."
Cait said.

[Bridge]

"Very well." Vilqa nodded, not that Cait could see.


[Shuttle Bay]
Kylee quickly gathered up all the data she had collected from the shuttle
trip on to her PADDs and rose. Moving for the door as it opened, she slipped
out, first removing the EVA suit, glad to be rid of the annoying thing. She
handed it off to one of the ensigns to be cleared for reuse and quickly made
her way out of the bay. She heard the call for her to report to the bridge
and broke in to a jog, already planning to head there before the call.
"Captain, on my way with some disturbing data.. and a possible way to
alleviate conditions, but it will be only temporary relief."



[Vimy]

"I will wait for you to arrive on the Bridge to explain Nix. I want the feed
broadcast to Lox as well." Vilqa said before turning her attention back to
the Ensign.

Taking out her PADD she stood on tip toes to hand it up to her and stood
again at attention with her hands behind her back. Her eyes lowering as she
whispers, "I thought I was to contact my direct superior first then he would
introduce me to the executive staff." She looks with worry up to the captain
as she moves foot to foot looking to the chief of security and back to the
captain, her hands gripping and tensing as she waits quietly

Vilqa reached for the PADD and scanned it over and nodded, "Computer update
security clearance to Level 4 for Ensign Lyndosee serial number
6H1-MLHUM-225T VilqaBravoDelta41Echo." A moment passed when the female voice
replied, "Level update confirmed." K`y pressed her thumb to the PADD
confirming the order then handed it back to the woman. "Now if you would
please... get out of the way." Vilqa was clearly not in a socializing mood
and questioned whether the Ensign should remain on the bridge, "DuMont
please find something for the Ensign to do."

[Hallway]

"Will be there in a few minutes," Kylee said, tapping her comm badge to
close the communication. Gripping her PADD in hand, she increases her pace,
breathing slowly and remaining calm even with the situation growing ever
worse.

[Bridge]


Ensign Marie took the PADD and stepped back with a soft whisper, her
demeanor turning pale and shaky as her straight back tensed and her eyes
moved to her feet as if a trained reaction to someone who is her superior
snapping on her for wrong doings, "Yes Mistress". She then obediently moved
to a small distance from the chief of security and stood quietly until
needed.


Toby had been uncertain what to make of what he was picking up off the new
ensign, her refering to K`y as Mistress however caused both brows to vanish
into his hair and to try to get the captain to not blow her stack, he leaned
in and whispered in her ear, "Gently Captain, something is terribly wrong
here, I don't think this young woman should have ever graduated or been
cleared for duty. She needs serious help."



Vilqa grit her teeth as she heard the hushed tone from Toby to herself alone
and his soft words for her ears only calmed her somewhat; "You will address
me as Captain, Ma'am or Sir." Her eyes shot to DuMont to get a handle on the
situation; this was not the time for this. Not when people were dying and
her crew were in a perilous situation. "Find something for the ensign to
do," and she thought but did not say, 'preferably off the bridge.'


The doors to the bridge opened yet again, Vilqa spun to see if it was Nix or
someone else.

Marie gulped but tapped her fingers on the back of her neck and centered
herself, her demeanor changing and she again looked stoic and confident as
she stood at attention waiting until needed and to await her orders. Her
eyes move to the door and look as they open.

"Reporting for duty Captain" said Ensign Fen, feeling a sudden jolt in her
stomach.

K`ylana nodded, "To your station Ensign. Lieutenant Sulp you are relieved
for now." The two engineers exchanged positions and the Captain once more
waited for Nix.

Kylee reached the bridge a short time later and stepped out of the
turbolift, only slightly out of breath from her jog. Her eyes sought out the
captain, making her way over to the woman, eyes glancing about to see who
else was there as well. "Captain, I believe I have determined the cause
behind the sun's solar flares, and perhaps a way to slow the effects until
able to determine a permanent solution."
- Hide quoted text -


The crystal blue eyes of the executive officer looked over and took in
Ensgin Fen. Years of practice kept the thought in his head from finding it's
way to his mouth, ~Another one? When it rains it pours.~ Though he knew of
the new crew coming in, he didn't quite expect them to show up on the
bridge, with one of them being the equivalent of a psychological shuttle
wreck, and the other well time would tell. He just hoped she didn't put the
captain in a worse mood. The mission was enough.

Ensign Marie saw the engineer enter and move to the captain then to her
station and stood out of the way to stand guard until her commanding officer
ordered different, her eyes scanning the bridge trying to feel everything
out and put it to memory, her mind going over the fact she has upset the
captain her face a look of worry but trying to hide it behind a mask of
confidence as she stood straight and waited for further orders.

Jason turned to his subordinate, disappointed. He spoke to her in a quiet
tone. "When I am on the bridge, that does not mean its time to 'check in'.
For now, go to security and begin weapons maintenance. And for future
refernce, report to the captain and executive officer before reporting to
me. Understood?"

"Yes Sir", Ensign Marie said and turned a bit pale while lowering her eyes
at another scolding as she obediently bowed her head and moved to the
turbolift and pressed the button to go down, the sound of the doors closing
hushing the whimper she lets out as she goes down to the task at hand.

As she left, Jason turned around to face the captain and exec. "I apologize.
It wont happen again"

The Captain nodded slowly, "Thank you DuMont." She then took a moment
to calm herself before continuing to DuMont, "Contact the USS Mistral and
request their assistance to aid in evacuation for those who are willing to
leave."

Jason nodded. "Aye Captain" he said, typing a message, which read: "USS
Mistral, this is the USS Vimyridge, requiring assistance in the evacuation
of
civilians planetside. Please respond"

Subject: [Vimyridge] 950124.23 JL Pt 17 (Vilqa, T. Blake, C. Blake, Saladin,
	Lox, Nix, Fen, Xoron and Balkion (NPCs))
Message-ID: <1F7B923FB79C425B9316F558E811CE0B@Firebird>

"Lox," the part klingon's focus shifted for the umpteenth time in the past
couple of minutes, "We have Ensign Fen from engineering on the bridge should
you require anything from your department."

"Understood Captain. I need a class 1 subsurface probe launched to
coordinates 120 by 74, depth of 100 kilometers. There is indication that
there is a weak spot in the continental plates in that area." Justin
replied. "Standard seismic payload for the probe."

Vilqa glanced back to as inconspicuously as possible monitor the new ensign,
Fen, and how she reacted to the orders from Lox.

Sorala glanced up at the view-screen for a second and the after a short
pause looked down and began to key in the co-ordinates. 'OK, you know how to
do this' she thought. Her expression briefly changed to one of panic and
then she seemed to compose herself. "ready for launch Captain" she said.

"You are free to launch Ensign." The captain sat heavily in her chair as she
rubbed her left temple, "Lox standby for the probe's arrival. DuMont have
you received confirmation from the Mistral?"

Jason nodded. "The Mistral has responded. They are en route. ETA, 1.5 hours"

[Shuttle]

Saladin finished collecting the data he needed, he could hear the captains
word to Lox over the intercom and he grabbed one of the holographic storage
devices before heading to the shuttles doors. "Wish us well." And then he
was out, in full E.V.A. suit, heading back to the caves and praying against
any tremors.

[Ridge]

Vilqa's lip twitch slightly hearing Marcus so that she nearly smiled knowing
he was well, "Nix what can you tell us. Lox I need you to listen in."

Toby turned his attention to Nix, to hear what she had to say. Kylee took a
deep breath, looking between the captain and the commander.

"The data I discovered has shown that this is being caused intentionally.
Someone, for some reason, is throwing the asteroids at the sun. However.. We
may be able to use the asteroids to our advantage, as a shield against any
more attacks."

"How so?" Toby asked, quietly.

Kylee turned andmoved over to a free console, pulling up the image of the
sun and planet. "The asteroid protecting the shuttle during that flare gave
me an idea. This area in between the sun and planet is far enough that it
would allow us to position several of the larger asteroids in to a location
to act almost like a shield," she stated, pointing to a certain area between
the two. "Right here, if positioned, would protect the planet, and allow for
us to watch for any large debris that might break off and head for the
planet. It will also be far enough away to prevent any gravitational
effects. So, while the planet is protected, we can investigate the readings
of the ship that was launching the asteroids."

"In our present location, with the radiation interference can we accurately
use our tractor breams?" Vilqa asked in general to the bridge.

Toby looked to see if anyone could answer the Captain's question. The answer
came from someone listening from the planet.

"In theory, if you modulate the tractor beam, like we do the phasers during
a borg encounter, you should be able to maintain about 80% tractor beam
effectivness." Justin repsonded. "It would take a partial reconfiguration of
the emitter array."

Kylee furrowed her brow as she listened to Justin's response, pulling up the
specs on the tractor beams, as well as estimates of what would be necessary
to act as a proper "shield". "If needed, do we have access to any small
rockets we could attach to the asteroid, to help guide it and hold in
place?" she asked, trying to think of the best way to protect the planet. "I
could assist with this, or could work on finding out who was behind this.."

"Class one probes would work for that if we don't have any chemical rockets
in storage." Justin replied over the comm. "We need to get this done
quickly, we are fast approaching the point of no return down here for
radiation exposure to those in the caves."

Kylee nodded, looking back to the captain. "With your permission, I would
like to begin moving this asteroid in to position," she said, pointing to
one of the larger asteroids in the field. "If we get it moved in to location
within the next hour, that will prevent any more damage to the planet, and
only cause a diminishing of the sunlight, much like a solar eclipse."

"Might I suggest using the ships shields to bump the asteroids away from
their intended trajectories. You will need full shields for the large
asteroids, but only the navigational shields for the smaller ones." Justin
added. Jason looked up from his console. "USS Mistral has arrived. They are
standing by"

[Caves]

Cait was only a short way into the tunnels when Marcus caught up with her.
She seemed to be standing there either thinking or staring at the walls.

Xoron was waiting, and watching for Cait's return, when she returned alone,
his stoic demanor became stoney and he made his way over towards Cait,
easily seen approaching through the crowds due to his height.

As Marcus reached her he spied Xoron and spoke quickly under his breath to
his commanding officer. "We need to take him aside, and show him this." He
briefly held out the holographic data recording. "It's eveyrthing that
happened to your patient." Then he fell silent, making sure nobody else
could overhear what he had said..

Cait sighed softly and whispered back. "I'm not holding out much hope of
that." She seemed to brace herself for whatever Xoron was going to do or
say.

Xoron stopped in front of the two, and looked from one to the other quietly.


"I'm sorry, but she didn't make it. Xoron, she wasn't getting better when
you brought her to my attention. She was nearly dead." Cait said
regretfully.

{Caves}

Kat went back to treating the people and doing her best to convince them
that they needed to seriously consider leaving the planet. She knelt down by
another group and scanned them checking their vitals. "I know you like it
here but this place has become far too dangerous to stay here. " she said
calmly. A young man looked up at her. "but this is all we know.....and where
will we go?" he asked. Kat thought for a moment "I'm sure there's a much
safer place possibly another planet perhaps or maybe a federation colony out
post..but I suppose that bit remains to be determined." she told him as she
made her scans though they revealed what she'd been seeing for quite some
time, increased levels of radiation.

"I see." Was all Xoron said. "You are suited up, are you leaving?"

Marcus shook his head, "Not immediately, but radiation levels are rising
again Xoron. We don't think we can stop them, everyone's going to get a lot
sicker, quicker." He looked at Cat briefly, "Can we chat to you privately
for a few minutes?"

Xoron looked about then bellowed, and the man could bellow he was the kind
who'd make generations of drill sergeants envious. "Balkion! Feddies need ta
talk!" Then he looked back at Marcus and Cait, "This as private it gets, you
talk to Balkion too. Others will stay back."

The rotund male huffed as he less than elegantly jogged toward Xoron, "You
need to talk?" he was a wee bit out of breath, "Then do so." Rough hands
adjusted the rainbow coloured tunic he wore.

Marcus looked briefly at Cait, then turned to acknowledge Balkion and Xoron.
"We are facing two problems right now. The first, is the radiation." He
looked at the many injured and sick that lay within the caverns, his arms
fulfilling an all encompassing gesture, "The radiation has been causing your
peoples sickness. The radiation is what means our Federation officers must
wear these suits. It prevents the radiation from contaminating us for a
certain period of time." He handed the holographic imager to Cait, "If you
want to see what happened to your friend when Commander Blake went to treat
her then the commander here can fill you in." 

Cait brought the scans up. "As you can see, there's organ degredation all
through out the body. In layman's terms, she was dissolving from the inside.
This is what's going to happen to all your people if the radiation levels
continue to rise. The radiation in the caves is rapidly heading towards
dangerous levels and your food and water is already compromised."

As Cait finished her brief talk Saladin spoke up again. "Even if we were
able to prevent the radiation we have just become aware of a second issue."
He paused and took a deep breath, "Your planet is tearing its self apart.
Large seismic activity will soon destroy what is left. There is no easy to
way say this. We are out of options for saving your planet."

Xoron shook his head sadly, sadly because the Feddies didn't understand.
They knew about the radiation, it was why they had retreated to the caves,
and if the sun's tears wanted to kill them, then they had obviously errored
somewhere and upset the sun. It was a matter of belief and religion and
faith. Something that made Xoron sad, because obviously the Feddies had none
of it. He left the talking, however, to Balkion. He was better at it.

Cait picked up a sense of what Xoron was getting at. "Let me ask you
something. What if solar flares have been caused by someone else?"

"Is that, not why you are here? To help? If they are being caused, should
you not stop it? All we had who could... Already left." Cowards in Xoron's
mind, but he would not speak them.

"That's what we're trying to find out and stop, but it might not happen in
time. Would you agree to at least getting off the planet and somewhere safe
until we do?" Cait asked.

"I speak only for self when say no. Leave planet, then I not be me." Xoron
crossed his arms and lifted his head.

"Look Xoron, Balkion, this is not happening because the planet or sun is
angry at you. This is happening for other reasons that may still be
impossible to stop. If you leave here you will be able to continue your way
of life, and your beliefs on another planet, if not then everything about
you dies here, a long, slow painful death." Marcus was becoming frustrated. 

Balkion tipped his head to the side, "I live and breathe for my planet.
Would you abandon yours to demise?"
