::Cmdr Mitchell had just informed the Bridge of an unauthorized shuttle | |||
launch.:: | |||
BLUEHEART: =/\= What the frak?!! =/\= ::to Cogud, voice alarmed:: Unauthorized | |||
shuttle launch!! Tractor beam!! Now!! | |||
COGUD: ::snapping to attention:: Aye sir | |||
BLUEHEART: I want to know who's on that shuttle!! | |||
JAMES: Aye, Sir! ::after some time scanning his console:: Hnaev! Some wort must | |||
have re-programmed the sensors, I'm not reading anything unusual down there! I | |||
recommend engineering run a Level 3 diagnostic, at least Level 4 although | |||
if the sabotage is as sophisticated as I suspect Level 4 won't cover it... Sir. | |||
COGUD: James is right sir, I cannot find any evidence of a shuttle, wait | |||
::Cogud looked at the sensors.:: I am picking up a faint energy signature | |||
off our port bow, locking on. | |||
JAMES: Boosting power now. Mr. Cogud, you should have increased | |||
resolution... now. | |||
BLUEHEART: Wait, wait! Sabotage?! What are you talking about?! Get Engineering | |||
then. But more importantly, do we have the shuttle in our grasp? | |||
0o Damn, did I say that out loud... 0o | |||
COGUD: I have it sir. | |||
BLUEHEART: Good! | |||
WESTERBRIDGE: Sir, I have dispatched a small security team to secure the | |||
unauthorized shuttle and take the neutralize the pilot. This person possibly | |||
can be Hawke, but I don't know at this point. | |||
BLUEHEART: ::frowning:: Neutralize? First of all, good thinking, Ensign. | |||
That was swift thinking on your part. It could be Hawke in that shuttle | |||
or it couldn't be… Any way we can determine that? Bioscans? Shuttle bay | |||
access logs? | |||
WESTERBRIDGE: response | |||
BLUEHEART: Do what you can, Ensign. I need to know who the pilot is! | |||
WESTERBRIDGE: response | |||
JAMES: With your permission, sir, I would like to run some tests to find | |||
out how useful our sensors are. | |||
BLUEHEART: Right now? | |||
JAMES: I would just be requesting non-essential personnel to move around | |||
the ship, at their connivance, and track them on the console. I suspect the | |||
saboteur has either created some kind of sensor loop or has wiped his or | |||
her pattern from the sensors. If the first is true, the subject will not | |||
have moved and if the second is true, there will be a slight delay. This | |||
will also let me see which decks are affected. | |||
BLUEHEART: As long as it involves non-essential personnel. But I'd like to | |||
remind you that we are still at red alert. How long will this take? | |||
JAMES: Hopefully, no more than 10 minutes, at most 20. | |||
BLUEHEART: You got 5. ::narrowing his eyes suspiciously:: And what's this | |||
about sabotage and saboteurs? ::mildly annoyed:: Where did this hypothesis | |||
come from? Do you have any evidence of a sabotage? | |||
JAMES: The sensors have multiple redundancy’s. The chance that they all | |||
would have failed is 12^69594453 in one against. It is logical to assume | |||
sabotage. 0o Calm down, James... 0o | |||
VALDIVIA: If we wait any longer, we will lose the Achilles whole crew to | |||
the storm. I know Hawke and Zero are free, but it has to be now. | |||
BLUEHEART: ::firmly:: Do it. | |||
VALDIVIA: Thanks. | |||
:: James blots out the world around him. On one side of his panel is a | |||
list of personnel, and on the other a live map of each deck. One by one, | |||
he selected the best candidates from the list and politely contacted them, | |||
asking them to move into into another section or deck. Occasionally, | |||
he brought up people who where too busy but, most of the time, he avoided | |||
essential personnel. The results he got where quite... fascinating. :: | |||
VALDIVIA: Congratulations. We just saved a lot of lives. ::checking the | |||
chronometer:: With no time to spare. | |||
BLUEHEART: Well done, John! Well done, everyone! | |||
VALDIVIA: We should send the medical team. | |||
::Blueheart nodded approval.:: | |||
ANYONE: response | |||
BLUEHEART: ::to Westerbridge:: Any luck in determining if it's Hawke? | |||
WESTERBRIDGE: response | |||
BLUEHEART: ::to James:: It's been 5 minutes. Report. | |||
JAMES: The internal sensor readings on the 'less popular' decks, such as Deck | |||
21 appearer to be in a feedback loop while decks like Deck 7 appearer to have | |||
no such loop, however there is a slight delay that would be consistent with | |||
a pattern erasing program. The only unaffected decks are Decks 1 through | |||
5. I have compiled a full report on each deck on this PADD, although it is | |||
a very rough copy. | |||
:: Hands Blueheart a PADD :: | |||
BLUEHEART: And this.. sabotage? Explain. | |||
JAMES: As I previously pointed out it is virtually impossible for any one one | |||
of the sensors to give false information, baring accidental damage. However, | |||
accidental damage would not cause a pattern like this. This suggests | |||
deliberate intent. Baring in mind, we currently have a officer implicated | |||
in a large plot, it is not a remote possibility that he had sabotaged the | |||
sensors, in order to cover his escape. I don't know exactly how he did it, it | |||
I would hazard a guess that he installed some kind of device in the computer | |||
core. As you can imagine, this would not only mean that we can not trust the | |||
internal sensors, but that every other ship system, which is not mechanical | |||
or biological in nature, is also thrown into doubt. I will however, state | |||
that this this is a hypothesis, however all of the evidence appearers to be | |||
pointing to it. | |||
((OCC: I have no idea where this fits in, so I'm sticking it at the end of | |||
this SIM. I will backsim anything else)) | |||
((Bridge, USS Discovery-C)) | |||
::Cogud had caught the shuttle no sooner than Valdiva made the announcement, | |||
the Achilles was being rescued:: | |||
VALDIVIA: If we wait any longer, we will lose the Achilles whole crew to | |||
the storm. I know Hawke and Zero are free, but it has to be now. | |||
BLUEHEART: response | |||
VALDIVIA: Thanks. | |||
:: He ran to his station. :: | |||
VALDIVIA: Ok, get ready. | |||
:: He controlled the probes and hooked their tractor beams to Achilles. :: | |||
VALDIVIA: =/\= Achilles, this is Discovery. We are about to get | |||
you out. As soon as you have cleared the surface, activate impulse | |||
engines. Engaging... now. =/\= | |||
:: He checked the sensors. The ship was moving. :: | |||
VALDIVIA: Vedra, engage the Bussard Collectors. Give them a tunnel to get | |||
through. | |||
VEDRA: response | |||
VALDIVIA: =/\= Achilles, follow the reduced pressure tunnel. =/\= ::then | |||
to the bridge. :: James, contact the Valiant and have them ready to follow | |||
us. Cogud, initiate approach. Do not enter the surface. | |||
COGUD: Aye sir, bringing us in ::Cogud steadily brought the Discovery close | |||
enough to grab the Achilles:: | |||
JAMES: Engaging tractor beam, now. | |||
VALDIVIA: Ok, we are ready. She is about to enter tractor beam | |||
range... now. Engaging tractor beam. Move us away so we can pull her. | |||
COGUD: Aye sir, full reverse ::Cogud initiated full reverse gently pulling | |||
out the Achilles, she was free:: | |||
VALDIVIA: =/\= Discovery to Achilles, you are out. Stabilize your orbit so | |||
we can disengage tractor beams. We have a medical team ready to beam. =/\= | |||
:: Valdivia took a really deep breath, and looked at the bridge crew. :: | |||
VALDIVIA: Congratulations. We just saved a lot of lives. ::The clock showed | |||
1:47. :: With no time to spare. | |||
BLUEHEART/ANYONE: response | |||
VALDIVIA: We should send the medical team. | |||
