Star Trek: Engage Transcript“CHILD'S PLAY”
Directed by: Aoibhe Ni
Starring:
James Greenman as CO Captain Rhodri Griffiths
CJ Short as ENG Ensign Ilia sh'Torar
Kyle Renaud as TAC Ensign Darloch
Shawna F as SCI Cadet Raqiin sh'Hruvek
Mission Summary:
With mircofractures appearing in several sections of the hull, Engineering
has its hands full with structural integrity tests and emergency repair work. In
the meantime, one of the few children on board has come to the Bridge crew's attention
after Cadet sh'Hruvek made unexpected telepathic contact with a possibly sentient
being.
While the threat of a Romulan incursion is still on everyone's minds, Ensign
Darloch has been ordered to give up on interrogating their prisoner, frustrated
with Relar's lack of co-operation.
We pick up just as Captain Griffiths and Cadet sh'Hruvek prepare to speak
to the little girl, Laney Moree.
<<<Resume Mission>>>
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
::quietly panics in Engineering, completely out of ideas::
<Relar>
ACTION: The ship rumbles sickeningly as an internal wall cracks down its
length, causing the ceiling to lurch downwards, revealing lots of internal wiring
and conduits.
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
*SCI*: sh'Tolar to sh'Hruvek.
<SCI_Cdt_shHruvek>
::tries to ignore the rumbling while spending a little quality time with
the computer, frantically researching:: *ENG*: Go ahead.
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
*SCI*: Have you got anything? 'Cause we're starting to come apart.
<SCI_Cdt_shHruvek>
*ENG*: Really, I hadn't noticed. Hold on. I'm trying to find anything to
help. ::finding references, yes, things to explain a few of her theories, but...::
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
::takes a look at a padd that's handed to her showing the areas od greatest
stress, and frowns::
<Relar>
ACTION: The ship rumbles again, the lights flickering ominously!
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
::slowly widens her eyes, and sprints towards tractor control::
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
*SCI*: I might have a temporary fix. Maybe. ::works furiously at the console,
trying to alter the tractor beam to affect things on a quantum level:: ENG: I need
everything we've got rerouted to tractor control!
<SCI_Cdt_shHruvek>
*ENG*: I might have a more permanent fix--do you think you can create a broad-spectrum
warp field? That might close the fissures, for good.
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
*SCI*: Uh... sure. That's probably better than my idea. ::sprints to a different
console, ignoring the confused looks of everyone else:: Engineering: New plan!
<SCI_Cdt_shHruvek>
*ENG*: Hey, if it doesn't work, we might not be here much longer for you
to blame me anyway.
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
*ENG*: That's... that's not comforting at all. ::programs a broad-spectrum
warp field, altering the geometry so as to prevent them from actually going anywhere::
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
*SCI*: Alright... ready to initialize. ::activates the warp field::
<Tac_ENS_Darloch>
Tac:im heading to bridge take over here please :: Heads to bridge::
<Relar>
ACTION: Engineering reports a reduction in the stress on the ship along the
fault lines.
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
*SCI*: It's helping... ::checks more reports::
<Tac_ENS_Darloch>
::Arives at Bridge: ENG: did i miss anything fun since i was in chatting
with Relar?
<SCI_Cdt_shHruvek>
::it's too hard to ignore the alien panic--she's on her way to see Laney
again, the only way to really know for sure:: *ENG*: Thankfully.
<MED_Lena_Moree>
::holds her daughter as Laney cries:: *SCI*: I don't know what's going on,
but Laney seems to think you're hurting her friend?
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
TAC: The ship was dying.
<Tac_ENS_Darloch>
Eng: Of course it was i happen to be away from my post on other duties and
you guys take the time to have all the fun. I hope you have things under control
or do you need me to jump in anywhere?
<SCI_Cdt_shHruvek>
*MED*: Is her friend still there? Are they still communicating?
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
TAC: Uh... You might wanna call down to the torpedo magazine, make sure those
are all intact. We'd be in bad shape if they were compromised.
<MED_Lena_Moree>
*SCI*: Yes.. ::sounds really worried, her words just audible over Laney's
crying:: *SCI*: She said he was shouting at her... saying something about her not...
::pauses as Laney cries harder:: *SCI*: ...not playing fair? Not sharing?
<Tac_ENS_Darloch>
Eng: understood *Main Armoury* Situation Report please what is the condition
of our torpedos?
<SCI_Cdt_shHruvek>
*MED*: Maybe because we're trying to cut off the way they're allowed to communicate...
::maybe the being just wanted to learn about them? maybe it caused the fissures
to begin with?::
<Armoury_Chief_Blast>
*TAC*: Stable for now, sir! But I recommend we shift them to an aft cargo
hold. They aren't far from the fissures where they are currently.
<MED_Lena_Moree>
*SCI*: No... I don't get that impression, ma'am... I just.. shhh, Laney,
it's OK... She said that he wasn't ready. I don't understand what she means... but,
maybe you do?
<Tac_ENS_Darloch>
*Chief Blast* understood make it so please put them in auxillary forciefields
upon arival just to be safe
<ENG_Ens_shTolar>
*SCI*: We're definitely intersected with some kind of object... Ovoid in
shape, possibly a ship?
<Armoury_Chief_Blast>
*TAC*: Yessir! On the double!
<SCI_Cdt_shHruvek>
*ENG*: Now that the ship's not falling to pieces around us, at least we can
focus on that.
