(21:18:35) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: compiling data from her first set of simulations while the second, more advanced simulations are running ::
(21:19:46) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: on the Bridge, doing busy work at her chair while monitoring the various tasks officers have been assigned to ::
(21:19:59) CTO_Maj_Wolfe: :: is running simulations on the Tactical 1 console as he plans out the best course of attack. He hasn't told anyone, especially Blackthorne, that he's decided having the Sharks out there will definitely make life easier. You know, pride and all. ::
(21:21:01) NAV_Capt_Harper: :: at the helm, going through scenarios of how to use her still-depleted fighter wing to its maximum potential ::
(21:21:28) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: ::Has already managed to lose Randen on his shifty travels on Refuge, as he searches out the first system to repair.::
(21:22:31) SCI_Lt_TLira: :: has yet to find any previous record that may help in finding an alternative solution to the problem at hand ::
(21:24:04) VAdmBlackthorne: :: at the ready room desk, going over a few more things to potentially do about this situation ::
(21:26:09) CSO_LCdr_Wright: Self: Oh, this might actually work.
(21:26:28) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: @Self: Well now... ::Has found the exact thing he warned about before leaving.:: So they managed to repurpose the matter sequencer from a Starfleet replicator into a Heisenberg compensater for a transporter pad. Swimming!
(21:27:22) NAV_Capt_Harper: :: finishes one scenario and looks up to see everyone hard at work, then finds herself missing flitting about from station to station while she was CO and people were busy solving problems ::
(21:29:42) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: @Self: How can I fix that...? Well... it's not really broken is it, it works just fine. There's just a 1 in less than 2000 chance, that the subject will rematerialise into a blobfish.
(21:29:45) VAdmBlackthorne: :: returns to the bridge and plants himself in the center seat :: XO: Any updates, Captain?
(21:30:17) CTO_Maj_Wolfe: :: curses under his breath as a simulation runs very poorly. Against such a weak enemy, it's a true travesty. He removes a few variables, adds a few different variables and is very happy with the results. ::
(21:30:37) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: looks up at Blackthorne a moment, shaking her head :: CO: Not since you left.
(21:30:59) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: @::A trio of Nausicaans walk passed.:: Self: Hmmm... small improvement for some...
(21:31:33) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: looks up as Blackthorne enters and almost says something, but decides to wait until she can review her advanced simulations ::
(21:32:06) VAdmBlackthorne: :: notes how quiet the bridge is while everyone works :: XO: I must have come out too soon, then. :: chuckles ::
(21:33:43) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: looks up from her work, this time keeping her eyes on Ian :: CO: I don't think so.
(21:34:15) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: changes her mind :: CO, XO: Sirs, the preliminary results from my simulations of the modified tidal flexion dampeners look promising, but I'm still compiling data from the advanced simulations. It will require some assistance from Engineering in replicating, testing, and installing the hardware, however.
(21:35:30) VAdmBlackthorne: XO: You're right. CSO: I thought as much. They're at your disposal.
(21:35:54) NAV_Capt_Harper: :: peeks over at the sims on Lexy's console ::
(21:36:03) CSO_LCdr_Wright: CO: :: nods :: Thank you, Sir.
(21:36:07) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: listens to Wright attentively, then shares a look with Blackthorne, happy with her progress ::
(21:36:24) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: @::Simply leaves a notice for a whole new unit, recommending a Cardassian transporter and who to obtain it from.:: Self: Some things just can't be fixed. ::Plods in the direction of the next item on the list.:j
(21:36:42) CSO_LCdr_Wright: CO/XO: I'll keep you apprised of any new information.
(21:38:03) VAdmBlackthorne: CSO: Excellent, thank you.
(21:39:43) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: TAC: Come along Mr Randen.... ::Looks back and pauses.:: Oh yes, that's right.... I lost him. I'm sure he's doing fine. ::Hums to himself.::
(21:39:44) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: since Blackthorne's there, lets him do the talking, but is appreciative anyway ::
(21:46:10) CTO_Maj_Wolfe: :: fidgets around another moment before settling on a plan of attack he likes, and sends it to the XO data screen for approval ::
(21:47:35) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: looks over the compiled data with increasing satisfaction, then looks at the suggested locations for hardware installation ::
(21:48:33) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: sends the schematics for the modified dampeners down to engineering with a request to replicate and test four units ::
(21:48:43) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: notes Wolfe's transmission to her console and reviews it briefly before glancing at Wolfe, then looking to Blackthorne :: Major Wolfe has formulated a plan of attack. :: loads the data onto a PADD quickly and hands it to Blackthorne ::
(21:49:05) VAdmBlackthorne: :: takes the PADD and looks over the plan ::
(21:49:08) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: waits for the tactical discussion to be done before she jumps in ::
(21:49:52) VAdmBlackthorne: CTO: Decided to go with the Sharks after all, eh Major? :: signs off on it and hands it back ::
(21:50:16) NAV_Capt_Harper: :: turns to look back at the mention ::
(21:50:32) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: takes the PADD and reads it over again ::
(21:51:47) CTO_Maj_Wolfe: :: mumbles something incoherent ::
(21:53:00) NAV_Capt_Harper: CTO: It is alright. We will cover you.
(21:55:49) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: @::Has a sudden turn as he walks; the tremor returning to his hand and the world spinning around him. He rubs his temple as he props himself onto his tapping cane. Manages to look up, only to see a familiar cloaked figure staring at him, before darting off.:: Self: You, I know you! Come back here! ::Follows as fast as he can, the figure gaining distance on him.::
(21:57:44) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: wonders if the conversation is over now :: CO/XO: Er... I have a report on my findings, if this is a good time?
(21:58:41) VAdmBlackthorne: CSO: Certainly, go ahead.
(21:58:45) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: gives Wright her attention ::
(21:59:03) NAV_Capt_Harper: :: smirks and turns back forward ::
(22:01:02) CSO_LCdr_Wright: CO/XO: The simulations all seem to agree that the modified tidal dampeners should work fairly well. I modeled out installed four of them, and we can give them the schematics to create more if necessary. Engineering is working on fabrication and testing, but... one of the dampeners will need to be installed in Refuge itself. I'm not sure how Ms. Kashar will feel about that.
(22:03:07) VAdmBlackthorne: CSO: I'm certain she'll be amenable if it solves the problem, and it's not like they don't already have a ton of our tech down there as it is.
(22:04:14) CSO_LCdr_Wright: CO: Well, from the limited information we ave about Refuge, it looks like the location may be in a sensitive area, but I'm not sure.
(22:04:45) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: perks an eyebrow at Wright ::
(22:06:09) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: ::Pushes passed people in the corridors, the figure turning off, around various corners, until it comes to a dead end.:: Self: You, you were on Vinland and Risa... then I saw you on Earth... why are you following me? ::The figure simply put it's finger to where it's lips would be under the hood, gently shushing Ilaihr, then looking to one side. Ilaihr followed where the figure was looking, only for them to be
(22:06:39) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: sends the location data to their consoles :: CO/XO: Perhaps you can advise?
(22:07:54) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: looks to her console, studying the file ::
(22:07:55) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: ...only for them to be gone when he turned back. Ilaihr also found himself at the next system on his list.:: Self: Fascinating...
(22:08:08) VAdmBlackthorne: CSO: Where is it, her bathroom? :: looks at the plans ::
(22:10:08) VAdmBlackthorne: CSO: Ha, close enough! Her office. She'll just love that.
(22:12:52) CSO_LCdr_Wright: CO: Yes... I'm afraid our personnel will have to enter to perform the installation.
(22:14:04) VAdmBlackthorne: CSO: I still think she'll go for it, but send the plans down to be sure.
(22:14:25) CSO_LCdr_Wright: CO: Aye, Captain.
(22:16:38) CSO_LCdr_Wright: :: sends down the location data for the four hardware installations for approval ::
(22:17:03) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: @::Shrugs off the experience, and begins removing a panel at the end of the corridor. Inside, is contained a Starfleet atmospheric purification unit, only it's been integrated and hybridised with Ferengi and possibly Gorn systems.:: Self: If this is programmed like the originator technologies... no wonder it doesn't work. You cant have a moist humid and dry arid atmosphere in the same place.
(22:26:47) VAdmBlackthorne: ACTION> A few minutes later, a terse reply comes back. "Approved."
(22:27:19) CSO_LCdr_Wright: CO: The installation plans seem to have been approved, Admiral. :: forwards to reply to his console ::
(22:27:49) XO_Capt_TKirr: :: thinks to herself, 'that was easy' ::
(22:29:38) VAdmBlackthorne: :: chuckles as he sees the one word reply :: I think we likely weren't privy to some annoyance.
(22:30:27) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: @::Is quick to fix the atmospheric unit, all it take is some tweeking of it's programming.::
(22:31:46) CSO_LCdr_Wright: CO: Engineering reports that they have fabricated and tested one unit successfully, and all the hardware should be ready for installation within the hour.
(22:34:35) VAdmBlackthorne: CSO: Excellent. Have them loaded on a shuttle when ready.
(22:38:51) CSO_LCdr_Wright: CO: Aye, Sir.
(22:39:45) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: @::Replaces the panel and turns around. The figure standing right before him, it's face in his. Feels the breath on his skin; it's icy cold, smells like sulphur and apricots. Ilaihr simply stands there, unintimidated.:: Self: With your chosen garb... one would think his time has come...
(22:45:19) ENG_Lt_Ilaihr: @Self: At first I thought you were a symptom of my declining health... but I have this strange feeling that you are very real. Unlike many manifestations, you only appear when company is absent. But you are clearly not here either... ::The figure screeches, and shoots off, backwards, and through the bulkhead behind it.::
