7:02:34 PM vadmblackthorne: Hiya folks.
7:03:16 PM misterboxingbear: (Sorry, multi-tasking again.)
7:03:20 PM vadmblackthorne: Hiya
7:04:24 PM vadmblackthorne: Well, this will be all we have
tonight. Kiley told me earlier that she can't make it.
7:04:32 PM misterboxingbear: Ah, too bad.
7:04:40 PM misterboxingbear: Nice log, by the way.
7:04:44 PM vadmblackthorne: Thank you.
7:04:50 PM lcdrtkirr: Ah okay, yeah, I agree. =P
7:04:59 PM vadmblackthorne: :D
7:06:05 PM misterboxingbear: It's good to have another member for the deadbeat dad club.
7:06:21 PM vadmblackthorne: Hey, he didn't know about his kid.
:)
7:06:50 PM lcdrtkirr: Testing...
7:06:58 PM cmdrshelev: yes
7:06:59 PM vadmblackthorne: El Paso
7:07:13 PM lcdrtkirr: My font was entirely too big. >_<
7:07:41 PM vadmblackthorne: Well then, shall we get started?

7:07:55 PM cmdrshelev: <-- lazy
7:07:58 PM lcdrtkirr: ::AA::
7:08:06 PM misterboxingbear: ::AA::
7:08:43 PM vadmblackthorne: Alright then. Tonight, we start
later that same night that the logs T'Kirr and I wrote were set in.
7:09:09 PM cmdrshelev: oh shit I don't
remember the details of those
7:09:19 PM vadmblackthorne: It's about 0130 when...

7:09:25 PM vadmblackthorne: BEGIN SIM

after the exhausting conversation with his ex-wife::

center seat, idly reading a PADD as nothing ever happens on this shift, since
they'd have to pay more actors::

7:12:29 PM misterboxingbear: ::McKnight was actually enjoying his first good night's sleep in
awhile, even in spite of the present situation. There was hope now that this mission could be accomplished
without any actions taken that would violate his principles

coffee::
7:12:55 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> ::wakes up a bit, curiosity in his voice:: Um,
Commander. Shuttle Bay One's doors
have opened.
7:13:11 PM misterboxingbear: , and for the first time, he might just have the power to ensure
that...once he'd gotten a good 6 hours, of course.::
7:13:21 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Any scheduled
departures?
7:13:33 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> No, I just checked.
7:13:47 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Override them and close
them.
7:14:15 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> ::tapping on his console:: Yes, Commander.
7:14:42 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> Um, they're closed, but something's escaped through,
and... disappeared.
7:14:56 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Something? You can't
identify what?
7:15:22 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> ::swallows and looks up at LCdr Harper in confusion::
It's the Machen Bren stealth ship.
7:15:39 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Yellow alert, shields
up!
7:15:52 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> +Blackthorne+ Harper to
Blackthorne!
7:16:04 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> ::flips the switch::
7:16:43 PM vadmblackthorne: ::opens his eyes:: What.
7:17:27 PM vadmblackthorne: ::taps his commbadge:: +Harper+
Blackthorne here, go ahead. ::his voice gravelly::
7:18:19 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Admiral, someone has
stolen the Machen Bren stealth ship we had in shuttlebay one. We're trying to
track it with sensors, but it was out before we could respond. ::gestures
sharply to Logan::
7:18:39 PM vadmblackthorne: ::opens his eyes wide:: +H+ I'll be
right up, Blackthorne out.
7:19:04 PM vadmblackthorne: ::rolls out of bed:: Bloody hell
now what. ::goes to the closet and pulls on a uniform::
7:19:17 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> ::swallows again, scanning in vain for the getaway
craft::
7:19:33 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Get something for him by
the time he gets up here.
7:19:49 PM vadmblackthorne: +McKnight+ Blackthorne to McKnight.
7:20:00 PM cmdrshelev: ::Falls out of
bed after being gently coaxed into conciousness by A FUCKING KLAXON::
7:20:01 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> Yes, sir.
I'm sure trying.
7:20:19 PM vadmblackthorne: ::BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNN!
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNN!::
7:20:44 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Capture all passive
sensor logs of the ten minutes preceding the event as well.
7:20:49 PM cmdrshelev: ::Finds a
uniform and orders something strong from the replicator.::
7:21:11 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> Aye, sir.
Retaining sensor data.
7:21:20 PM misterboxingbear: ::Alas, no good mood was ever meant to last. Having already snapped awake at the
alert, McKnight was able to answer promptly, albeit in a somewhat less than
normally composed fashion::
+Blackthorne+ McKnight here.;
7:21:37 PM vadmblackthorne: ::gets his uniform on and runs out into the hallway,
thanking whoever will listen than that the ship's lighting corresponds to a
day/night cycle::
7:21:56 PM lcdrtkirr: <<I like imagining an Andorian literally falling out of
bed>>
7:21:58 PM vadmblackthorne: +McKnight+ Major, there's been a
security breach. The Machen Bren stealth craft we had in shuttlebay one has
been stolen.
7:22:38 PM cmdrshelev: ::Exits into
the hallway with a rumpled uniform, carrying a hot mug of some purple beverage::
7:22:47 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> ::chews on her lip
waiting for the Admiral::
7:23:04 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> Commander, I'm picking up something faint... I think
it's the steath vessel's warp trail.
7:23:25 PM cmdrshelev: ::Makes
executive decision to check the 'diplomat's' suite and takes a TL down there::
7:24:13 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Get a good bead on it.
7:24:22 PM vadmblackthorne: ::makes his way to the TL:: Bridge.
7:24:49 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> ::nods:: It's definitely the warp trail. Sending to helm.
7:25:46 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Excellent.
7:25:53 PM vadmblackthorne: ::enters the bridge:: Report,
Commander.
7:26:04 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Admiral, we have locked
in on a warp trail.
7:26:51 PM cmdrshelev: ::Pulls out
into the guest quarters section and goes down the rooms, checking the logs on
the doorways - they haven't been opened for two hours.::
7:27:01 PM misterboxingbear: ::Has already feverishly thrown on a uniform, and is on his way
to the bridge even now.::
7:27:24 PM vadmblackthorne: Helm, stand by to pursue. Any idea
who stole it?
7:27:38 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Not yet, Admiral.
7:27:53 PM vadmblackthorne: I have the bridge.
7:28:01 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Aye sir. ::figured as
much::
7:29:53 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> ::glances up at Blackthorne a moment:: I'm following
the decay as it forms... although there's no way to tell how far ahead of us it
is.
7:30:16 PM vadmblackthorne: We can outrun them. I'd like to
know who we're chasing first.
7:30:33 PM vadmblackthorne: Computer, location of Jacob Morris?
7:31:32 PM misterboxingbear: ::Rushing onto the bridge, McKnight quickly takes up tactical,
from there coordinating with security::
7:32:22 PM cmdrshelev: Computer>>
Jacob Morris is in assigned quarters.
7:32:32 PM cmdrshelev: ::Takes the TL
up to the bridge::
7:33:09 PM vadmblackthorne: Verify that with an internal scan.
7:33:17 PM misterboxingbear: Computer, locate Lieutenant Commander T'Kirr.
7:33:53 PM lcdrtkirr: Computer> Lieutenant Commander T'Kirr is in her quarters.
7:34:15 PM cmdrshelev: ::Exits onto
the TL:: To answer your second question, our guests are all in their quarters;
doors haven't been opened since 1130 hours
7:34:26 PM cmdrshelev: ((2330 dammit))
7:34:47 PM vadmblackthorne: ::looks directly at Shelev while he
says:: Computer, locate Dugahn.
7:35:06 PM misterboxingbear: +Security+ O'Grady, dispatch a security team to Commander
T'Kirr's quarters. Either
someone's been fooling with out internal sensors, or we may have a wounded
crewman.
7:35:35 PM lcdrtkirr: Computer> Dugahn is not on board.
7:35:51 PM vadmblackthorne: That green blooded son of a bitch.,
7:35:59 PM vadmblackthorne: Helm, lay in a pursuit course.
7:36:37 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> ::feeds Helm coordiantes as they update on his scan
readout::
7:36:44 PM misterboxingbear: Confirmed. We just
got security camera footage.
7:36:48 PM vadmblackthorne: Warp Nine, execute.
7:36:55 PM cmdrshelev: For the record,
I didn't like him either.
7:37:08 PM vadmblackthorne: Name three Vulcans that you do
like.
7:37:32 PM vadmblackthorne: ACTION> Atlantis screams off as
loudly as a ship can scream off into space which is still perfectly quiet.
7:37:44 PM lcdrtkirr: <<lol>>
7:38:01 PM cmdrshelev: ::Pauses. Gives
up. Goes to The Other Chair.::
7:38:37 PM lcdrtkirr: ::lies unconscious in bed, waiting for security to find her::
7:38:44 PM vadmblackthorne: Now how did he know about that
ship?
7:38:52 PM vadmblackthorne: That shuttlebay was secured.
7:39:35 PM cmdrshelev: Hell, *I*
forgot about that ship. And no one can read Orion so how could he fly the damn
thing.
7:39:53 PM vadmblackthorne: Major, you'll have some questions
to answer.
7:40:03 PM cmdrshelev: ((fired))
7:41:03 PM misterboxingbear: (And as soon as I know how to answer then, I'll get right on
that.)
7:42:10 PM vadmblackthorne: Launch your customary full
investigation and have a report for me by 0800.
7:42:16 PM lcdrtkirr: (sorry, can't do much but play dead)
7:43:24 PM misterboxingbear: Yes, sir.
7:43:31 PM vadmblackthorne: And what was that about Commander
T'Kirr?
7:45:12 PM misterboxingbear: The computer logged her access codes used to enter shuttlebay one
just shortly before the bay doors opened.
How anyone but T'Kirr has those codes, I don't yet know. But I will.
7:45:31 PM misterboxingbear: ::Considers for a moment::
And to be honest, I suppose I can guess.
7:45:46 PM vadmblackthorne: Dugahn had her access codes and
she's still in her quarters, not having responded to a yellow alert?
7:46:05 PM vadmblackthorne: She would have responded if she
were capable. Get a medical team down there, she's hurt.
7:48:51 PM misterboxingbear: ::And at this point, just so we can shift the focus from McKnight
looking stupid, the security team had arrived. The lock on her door was quickly neutralized with a security
over-ride, allowing two armed security goons to begin
7:49:27 PM misterboxingbear: seeking out the uncharacteristically elusive science officer::
7:49:41 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> ::answers call to play medic and rushes in behind
security detail::
7:50:27 PM lcdrtkirr: ::quietly lying in bed::
7:51:16 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> ::spots T'Kirr beyond 'goons' and moves around them
to scan 'n stuff::
7:52:20 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> +Blackthorne+ Doctor Nolan to Admiral
Blackthorne. We've found T'Kirr in
her quarters. She's
unconscious. I'm transporting her
to Sickbay.
7:52:24 PM misterboxingbear: ::Said nameless goons conduct an obligatory search for any sign
of her attacker, well aware he's likely long gone::
7:52:26 PM vadmblackthorne: ::finally sits down in the center
seat, fuming::
7:52:38 PM vadmblackthorne: +Nolan+ Acknowledged, keep me
updated on her condition.
7:52:46 PM vadmblackthorne: I can imagine how he got her access
codes.
7:53:05 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> ::not-so-magically transports T'Kirr to Sickbay and
begins further examination::
7:53:33 PM vadmblackthorne: Shelev, get down to Dugahn's
quarters and see if he left anything behind.
7:53:43 PM cmdrshelev: Aye.
7:53:58 PM cmdrshelev: ::Goes to the
TL:: Guest quarters.
7:54:06 PM lcdrtkirr: MBStealthShip> ::speeds along somewhere ahead of Atlantis,
unseen::
7:54:07 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> ::still on the bridge,
feeling rather useless::
7:55:21 PM cmdrshelev: ::Busts into
Dughan's quarters with overrides for the door, it's dark as hell like all
vulcan rooms.::
7:55:41 PM cmdrshelev: Lights up.
7:56:11 PM cmdrshelev: ::The room is
back to "fresh hotel room status"::
7:56:13 PM vadmblackthorne: ::sees Harper loitering:: You're
dismissed, Commander.
7:56:14 PM cmdrshelev: Aw shit.
7:56:40 PM vadmblackthorne: Harper> Yessir. ::enters the TL
and disappears back to bit-part land::
7:57:05 PM cmdrshelev: ::Starts going
through drawers, footlockers, desks..::
7:57:35 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> +Blackthorne+ Doctor Nolan, here. Admiral, if you're not too busy up
there, you might want to come down to Sickbay.
7:57:44 PM vadmblackthorne: +Nolan+ What's going on?
7:58:07 PM lcdrtkirr: +Blackthorne+ ::sighs:: I've tried reviving Commander T'Kirr, but
it's having no effect. I believe
she's suffered neurological damage.
7:59:04 PM vadmblackthorne: ::was afraid of that:: +Nolan+ I'll
be down soon.
8:00:22 PM misterboxingbear: Well, there is ONE bit of good news.
8:00:27 PM vadmblackthorne: ::Stands:: Yes?
8:02:07 PM misterboxingbear: Dughan may know how to work the controls on that ship, but he
obviously hasn't had the training that its former pilots had. He just keeps speeding along. No drops in and out of impulse,
nothing. We have a steady warp
trail, and
8:02:27 PM misterboxingbear: THAT we can track.
What's more, at warp 5, he won't be able to stay ahead of us long.
8:02:45 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> ::shuffles around his patient, looking from one
panel to another, shaking his head::
8:03:33 PM vadmblackthorne: Excellent. You have the bridge.
Keep on his trail and capture him alive, if possible.
8:04:30 PM vadmblackthorne: ::enters the TL:: Sickbay.
8:04:35 PM misterboxingbear: Oh, there'd be no fun in dead.
8:05:08 PM lcdrtkirr: EnsLogan> ::after Blackthorne disappears:: But Major, we have
no way of seeing through its stealth once we're on top of it. It would be impossible to get a weapons
lock.
8:06:47 PM vadmblackthorne: ::enters sickbay and looks for
Nolan::
8:07:02 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> ::looks up at Blackthorne's entrance, waving him
over::
8:07:52 PM vadmblackthorne: ::walks over, looking at T'Kirr and
frowning::
8:07:59 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> I've stabilized her temporarily, but I'm not sure
what else I can do for her.
::looks over his shoulder:: She's comatose.
8:08:43 PM vadmblackthorne: ::quietly:: Bloody hell. What did
he do?
8:09:08 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> I'm not sure how much longer I can keep her this
way. Her neural pathways are
slowly decaying. ::eyes narrow::
What who did?
8:09:43 PM misterboxingbear: The stealth is good, Ensign, but there's no such thing as
perfect. It's designed to perform
recon without the enemy knowing it's there. Once you have enough ships specifically looking for it, they
need to monitor their engine
8:10:27 PM vadmblackthorne: I believe her the victim of a
telepathic assault, doctor. If my belief is correct, information was forcefully
extracted from her mind via mindmeld.
8:11:30 PM misterboxingbear: emissions carefully, and in the meantime, we can flush him out
with specialized torpedo volleys.
Rig them with gravometric charges, and the resulting disturbance gave us
readings we can use last time.
That leaves the problem of
8:11:34 PM misterboxingbear: knocking him out of warp.
8:11:50 PM cmdrshelev: +Blackthorne+
Shelev to Blackthorne
8:12:28 PM cmdrshelev: ((well she WAS
dead))
8:12:40 PM vadmblackthorne: +Shelev+ Go ahed, Commander.
8:13:06 PM cmdrshelev: +Blackthorne+
There is absolutely nothing I can find in Dughan's quarters. It's like a hotel
room he never moved into.
8:13:26 PM vadmblackthorne: +Shelev+ Understood. Get back to
the bridge and oversee the pursuit until I return.
8:13:36 PM cmdrshelev: +Blackthorne+
Aye.
8:13:46 PM cmdrshelev: ::Returns to
bridge via TL yadda yadda::
8:16:30 PM misterboxingbear: (WB)
8:16:48 PM lcdrtkirr: (Get kicked out from writing too long of a msg, and it won't let
me back in...)
8:17:49 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> ::looks down in thought, nodding:: Mm... I'd say it's good that we got her
here when we did, but I'm not sure what else we can do.
8:19:37 PM misterboxingbear: ::His face takes on a look of intense concentration, as he begins
carefully preparing a firing solution.::
It's a small ship. The
detonation of enough torpedoes at sufficiently close range may be enough to
destabilize his warp
8:19:45 PM vadmblackthorne: She needs a telepathic Healer from
Betazed.
8:20:10 PM misterboxingbear: field without actually destroying the ship itself.
8:20:37 PM vadmblackthorne: Or the Vulcan equivalent.
8:21:19 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> ::sighs:: I don't know if she'll last that long. If she hadn't been found so early in
the night... well, she would've been dead by morning.
8:21:46 PM lcdrtkirr: LtJGNolan> I'm only buying her a few hours.

secessionists were my idea and Dugahn was hers, and we made them work. Someone
else can do the same. :)
