Venya Kashar 13-Oct-2021 21:32:48
+CO+ Oh, think nothing of it! We are the ones who should be thanking you, after all, as my beloved port would not longer exist without your help. :: she drops her usual saccharine air and looks directly at Harper :: Thank you, Captain. Truly.

Venya Kashar 13-Oct-2021 21:33:31

Hannah Ziredac 13-Oct-2021 21:39:25

CO Capt Harper 13-Oct-2021 21:39:49
+Venya+ We will return when we duty permits it, and I will certainly give your regards to Commander Wright.
CEO LtJG D’bryn 13-Oct-2021 21:39:58

:: no one cares or responds ::
CO Capt Harper 13-Oct-2021 21:42:24
:: smirks as she sits down :: CAG: I assume that means we have departure clearance. NAV: Take us out of the asteroid field, and then to warp speed upon clearing it.
CAG LCdr T’Lira 13-Oct-2021 21:42:35
CO: I believe so, yes, sir.
NAV Lt Navarro 13-Oct-2021 21:42:59

Destiny Salladay 13-Oct-2021 21:43:53
:: emerges from the backyard :: I can't understate how convenient it is that you two are in the same place. :: sees Hannah's state :: Did I catch you indisposed?

CO Capt Harper 13-Oct-2021 21:45:46
ACTION> As a few other ships leave Refuge for various destinations, Atlantis joins them, the great allied fleet going its separate ways.
Destiny Salladay 13-Oct-2021 21:45:59
:: furrows her brow dismissively :: Z/H: The rendezvous with the other Light-keepers. It's off.
NAV Lt Navarro 13-Oct-2021 21:46:10

CO: Warp one and standing by for slipstream, capitana.
CO Capt Harper 13-Oct-2021 21:46:44
XO: Make the ship ready for slipstream flight, Commander.
Hannah Ziredac 13-Oct-2021 21:46:47
:: snorts :: Destiny: 'Light-keepers'? What sorda Terry Goodkind-ass name izzat?
CEO LtJG D’bryn 13-Oct-2021 21:46:57
Destiny: Wait, why?
TAC 1Lt Ammora 13-Oct-2021 21:48:12
What to do, what to do?
:: checks to make sure all his duties are done ::
Yep, all aligned, completed, and nominal...
Destiny Salladay 13-Oct-2021 21:49:33
There's... Someone found out. A very dangerous someone. They've captured at least one of the other Light-keepers. Killed them, far's I can tell. They're able to track the others somehow. I'm doing what I can to counteract them, but for now, it's a dangerous idea for any Light-keeper to be exposed. I urge you both not to leave Atlantis. It's not impenetrable, but it's one of the best options you have.
CEO LtJG D’bryn 13-Oct-2021 21:50:16
Destiny: We'll let the Captain know. What can I tell her about this someone? Who is it?
CTO Cpt Grey 13-Oct-2021 21:50:51
Marine> :: appears in the doorway of the armory, giving Ammora a smile :: TAC: Captain Grey sent me to retrieve you for the release of new training protocols, by the Academy. Everyone's meeting in the main training room in five minutes.
TAC 1Lt Ammora 13-Oct-2021 21:51:29
Marine: Can't wait.
Destiny Salladay 13-Oct-2021 21:51:53
Z/H: I don't know his name. No one does. There are those in the deepest intelligence agencies who have referred to him as 'The Emissary'. But that information has long since scattered to the winds, and what little I've been able to find so far is encrypted to hell and back.
CMO LCdr Acacia 13-Oct-2021 21:52:12
:: uses her console to review reports from sickbay, interested in how the different perspectives meshed together ::
CTO Cpt Grey 13-Oct-2021 21:52:19
Marine> :: cackles at Ammora's deadpan response, bending over with laughter :: TAC: She doesn't look that enusthed either.
CAG LCdr T’Lira 13-Oct-2021 21:52:26
:: notes a blip on the sensors and checks the scans :: CO: Captain, sensors are detecting a spatial anomaly in a star system near our current course.
CO Capt Harper 13-Oct-2021 21:52:47
CAG: What sort of anomaly?
TAC 1Lt Ammora 13-Oct-2021 21:52:56
Marine: :: smirks :: I'm sure it'll be a riveting experience for all.
Hannah Ziredac 13-Oct-2021 21:52:58
Destiny: I'm... look, I'm thrilled about this exposition but this meeting could've been a subspace message.
TAC 1Lt Ammora 13-Oct-2021 21:53:54
:: does a final check and heads to the main training room ::
XO Cdr Kuari 13-Oct-2021 21:53:55
:: takes pity on the newbie at Tactical and hops off her seat, trotting over to the station and showing the ensign how it is done, configuring the shields ::
CAG LCdr T’Lira 13-Oct-2021 21:54:57
:: looks closer at the sensors :: CO: At this time, unknown. Sensors cannot properly identify the anomaly with current information and parameters.
TAC 1Lt Ammora 13-Oct-2021 21:55:30
:: hopes he gets to punch someone ::
Destiny Salladay 13-Oct-2021 21:55:35
Z/H: From what I've seen of The Emissary, security measures will only slow him down. But that's if you don't see him coming. The best measures on the scant few documents are not unlike fortifying against the Borg. This man—if that's what you can call him—possesses technology beyond anything I've seen.
XO Cdr Kuari 13-Oct-2021 21:55:45
:: nods to Harper :: CO: Atlantis is ready for slipstream, Captain.
CO Capt Harper 13-Oct-2021 21:55:46
XO: We are in no hurry. Shall we check it out?
CEO LtJG D’bryn 13-Oct-2021 21:56:38
Destiny: What if we just... :: shrugs :: just get rid of the Lights? Fling em into space, fire em into a star.
TAC 1Lt Ammora 13-Oct-2021 21:57:04
:: moves down the hallway into the main training room, finds a seat and sits ::
CMO LCdr Acacia 13-Oct-2021 21:57:49
:: lingers on a nurse’s report, frowning at her perspective of the care one patient was given ::
CO Capt Harper 13-Oct-2021 21:57:53
NAV: Alter course and increase speed to warp four. XO: Stand down slipstream preparations.
Destiny Salladay 13-Oct-2021 21:58:02
Zoë: We can't give up on them yet. There's still a lot of potential knowledge we can gain from them. I don't want to waste it just yet. And the method the Emissary is using to find them isn't efficient, whatever it is. If it were, he'd've gotten them already.
NAV Lt Navarro 13-Oct-2021 21:58:22
CO: Aye aye. :: changes course to intercept and throttles up ::
Hannah Ziredac 13-Oct-2021 21:58:39
Destiny: Whass 'e an Emissary of, anyway? Or did someone pick that name without knowin what it means?
CO Capt Harper 13-Oct-2021 21:59:53
:: settles back into her chair and waits for their arrival ::
Destiny Salladay 13-Oct-2021 22:00:20
Hannah: I don't know. But if he is an Emissary of something, I shudder to think of what it could be. Okay. Don't use your Lights, not consciously. Keep them secure. Talk to your captain about security, but only tell her what she needs to know. Good luck.
