"Azure-Te"

Conversation with #ussatlantis at Wed Mar 5 20:59:19 2014 on VAdmBlackthorne@packetstorm.va.us.darkmyst.org (irc)

(20:59:19) The topic for #USSAtlantis is: Well, jumping forward a little. As per checking with Jason, Admiral Blackthorne has agreed to try allaying some of the League of Xe concerns by simply releasing computer footage of the last mission, and letting them see it for themselves. The review is in progress.

(20:59:32) CdrTKirr: Greetings.
(20:59:40) VAdmBlackthorne: Hiya
(21:00:00) DoctorTav [Bryan@90-43-96-75.res.bhn.net] entered the room.
(21:00:15) DoctorTav: Klahowia.

(21:00:54) LtWright [LtWright@i-73-062-552-594.hsd7.wa.comcast.net] entered the room.
(21:01:06) VAdmBlackthorne: Hi Rite
(21:01:17) LtWright: mmhi
(21:01:47) CdrTKirr: Greetings.
(21:02:05) VAdmBlackthorne: I still want to see Lt. Rong.
(21:02:29) CdrTKirr: But that wouldn't be Rite!
(21:02:32) LtWright: It can happen
(21:02:35) VAdmBlackthorne: Rut-roh.
(21:04:21) LtWright: There's nothing wrong with Rong. You can't hate her just because she's not Wright.
(21:04:31) VAdmBlackthorne: Right.
(21:04:56) LtWright: No, I was talking about Rong.
(21:05:36) CdrTKirr: This is totally being logged.
(21:06:21) LtWright: That's alright. Nothing wrong with logging.
(21:10:11) ColDougMcKnight [Mibbit@h-73-130-535-634.hsd7.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(21:10:11) DoctorTav: Logging this would be so right... And... Rong. I really like the plan
(21:10:48) CdrTKirr: Greetings.
(21:10:55) ColDougMcKnight: Evening.
(21:11:14) LtWright: Well, I don't think Rong had anything to do with the plan.
(21:11:22) LtWright: Hoy, McKnight.
(21:11:23) VAdmBlackthorne: You're so rong.
(21:11:25) VAdmBlackthorne: Hiya Miek
(21:11:28) VAdmBlackthorne: Mike, even
(21:12:05) LtWright: O hai Miek
(21:12:20) ColDougMcKnight: Eh, it's cool. There's this one guy who will only spell it Maik.
(21:12:44) VAdmBlackthorne: Anime nut, I'd guess.
(21:13:06) LtWright: MAIKU
(21:13:09) ColDougMcKnight: Is there an anime Maik?
(21:13:30) VAdmBlackthorne: Nah, just reminds me of the attempts to japanify spelling
(21:13:47) CdrTKirr: lol
(21:14:13) ColDougMcKnight: Fair enough. So, how's things?
(21:15:09) VAdmBlackthorne: Finally getting all the wedding stuff in order
(21:15:33) LtWright: *applauds*
(21:15:58) ColDougMcKnight: Those things are a pain in the ass.
(21:16:06) VAdmBlackthorne: Mmmhmm
(21:17:20) ColDougMcKnight: How IS the future missus, otherwise?
(21:18:01) VAdmBlackthorne: Doing well!
(21:18:17) ColDougMcKnight: Excellent. Tell her I said hi.
(21:18:36) VAdmBlackthorne: She says hello!
(21:18:55) ColDougMcKnight: Anyway, was just finishing up my dinner, but now that it has been consumed, I suppose we can get this thing started when you're ready.

(21:21:13) ColDougMcKnight: Ah, there we go.
(21:21:32) LtWright: :: still AA ::
(21:21:32) ColDougMcKnight has changed the topic to: The topic is things are exploding! Go!
(21:21:37) ColDougMcKnight: Any questions?
(21:21:48) LtWright: Wait
(21:21:57) LtWright: I don't remember explosions happening yet
(21:23:05) LtWright: Are things actively exploding or is explosion merely imminent?
(21:23:18) CdrTKirr: There was lots of shaking.
(21:23:19) ColDougMcKnight: Multiple explosions have occurred. That was the cause of the loss of the balloons maintaining the station's altitude. Incendiary explosive devices placed near the supports.
(21:23:31) LtWright: Okay.
(21:23:38) CdrTKirr: Okay yeah, those splodies.
(21:23:52) LtKuari [TKirr@90-43-96-75.res.bhn.net] entered the room.
(21:24:24) CdrTKirr: Can Kuari be done getting our people transported home?
(21:25:05) ColDougMcKnight: Honestly, I cannot remember where we were on that. Up to you.
(21:25:14) CdrTKirr: I had nothing more to RP there.
(21:26:24) ColDougMcKnight: Then I guess she's done.
(21:27:07) VAdmBlackthorne: Ready to fire?
(21:27:24) ColDougMcKnight: Looks like.

(21:27:31) VAdmBlackthorne: BEGIN SIM
(21:27:32) VAdmBlackthorne: BEGIN SIM
(21:28:24) LtWright: Admiral, Commander, unless we get assistance from one or more of the other vessels, I think our only option may be to evacuate the station before it reaches crush depth. I don't think it's possible for Atlantis alone to save it. I'm not even sure how much longer we can keep it above crush depth.
(21:28:31) LtWright: :: clearly making her worried face ::
(21:28:35) CdrHarper: :: watching the engine readouts with a frown as Atlantis strains to keep the station from sinking :: She can not keep this up for much longer.
(21:29:13) CdrTKirr: :: gets the latest report in :: All crew members aboard, Admiral.
(21:29:43) LtKuari: :: materializes in TR2, now safely aboard Atlantis with her team, the last to beam back ::
(21:29:49) VAdmBlackthorne: Except Colonel McKnight. :: also frowns :: Lt. Wright, send out a call asking for anyone that has a tractor beam to help slow the station's descent.
(21:31:48) LtWright: Aye, sir. :: Opens all communications channels and sends and urgent message to all vessels within range to be of assistance ::
(21:32:35) CdrHarper: We must shut down again soon!
(21:33:54) CdrTKirr: ((I can't remember what McKnight's doing on the station =( ))
(21:33:58) ColDougMcKnight: :: Speaking of McKnight...:: +Bridge+ Atlantis, be advised, I've managed to slow the detonation of this device, but my patch job doesn't look like it's going to hold. I hate to say it, but if you don't disengage that tractor, you may have some pretty severe hull stress coming your way.
(21:34:09) LtWright: Cut the engines, we've reached neutral rate of descent
(21:34:09) CdrTKirr: ((Right. That.))
(21:34:22) VAdmBlackthorne: +McKnight+ We're going to have to anyway, the engines just can't take it.
(21:34:35) VAdmBlackthorne: +McKnight+ Get your ass back over here, Colonel.
(21:34:58) CdrHarper: :: cuts the engines ::
(21:35:14) CdrHarper: :: watches the readings start to sink back toward happiness ::
(21:35:26) ColDougMcKnight: ACTION> The good news is that the responses to Atlantis' call are prompt. Past that, the news is not so good. The Jarfa ship was badly shaken up breaking away, and is trying to effect emegency repairs. The Xe have a ship with suitable capabilities in higher orbit, but it's not rated to descend even this low. They're scrambling some smaller ships.
(21:36:24) LtWright: :: watches the station's rate of descent start to creep back toward sadness ::
(21:36:32) CdrTKirr: (( Not float, but sink? ))
(21:38:05) VAdmBlackthorne: As soon as we can take it again re-engage.
(21:38:22) LtWright: :: looks at Harper for signal ::
(21:39:12) CdrHarper: Not yet. It will take another couple of minutes at least.
(21:40:04) LtWright: :: starts :: A couple of MINUTES? It.... ...may be irretrievable in a couple of minutes.
(21:40:06) ColDougMcKnight: ::Frowns, deciding he REALLY doesn't like the high pitched whine the device is making, and takes off at a sprint down the corridor:: +Transporter Room 1+ McKnight here. Beamout would be good. Now would be fantastic.
(21:40:39) CdrHarper: If we abuse the engines much more, we may be irretrievable as well.
(21:42:32) ColDougMcKnight: ACTION> As a group of new contacts appear on sensors, seemingly the limited help promised, cue a cinematic shimmering transporter effect taking hold as the wave of plasma washes down the station's corridor.
(21:42:37) VAdmBlackthorne: ("Scotty, now would be a good time...")
(21:44:26) VAdmBlackthorne: :: with the explosion visble on the viewer :: Re-engage, she can take a bit more! Tell me we got McKnight out of there.
(21:45:22) CdrTKirr: :: her eyes still fastened to her reports :: We have him.
(21:45:36) VAdmBlackthorne: :: sits down heavily :: Engage tractor, now/
(21:46:17) LtWright: (( how many lifeforms still aboard the station? ))
(21:46:33) LtWright: :: grim :: engaging tractor.
(21:46:59) CdrHarper: :: spins up the engines as Wright fires the tractor, and Atlantis almost groans in response ::
(21:47:20) ColDougMcKnight: ACTION> As the balloon comes away, taking the latest installment of what now amounts to about 30 percent of its total altitude support with it, it looks almost tranquil as it floats off to who knows where. Which is more than one can say for Atlantis as the tractor engages. There is an immediate whine of protest from the engines, and a science console at
(21:47:34) ColDougMcKnight: the bridge dutifully explodes for no apparent reason.
(21:47:46) VAdmBlackthorne: (We really need to do something about those )
(21:48:09) ColDougMcKnight: (The contractors just love their plastique panels.)
(21:48:13) CdrTKirr: (( lol ))
(21:49:16) ColDougMcKnight: (Life form count? It had a pretty big temporary population. Say...57 still cut off from means of escape.)
(21:49:34) LtWright: :: raises her arm to shield herself from the shower of sparks from her left and nods an Operations ensign into firefighting duty ::
(21:49:58) CdrHarper: :: looks behind her for a split second to make sure Wright was not just blown up ::
(21:50:16) VAdmBlackthorne: :: is rather oblivious to exploding science consoles, that's just what they do ::
(21:50:30) ColDougMcKnight: ACTION> And inevitably, the station begins to sink out of sight, not exactly at breakneck speed, given it still has a fair few balloons slowing it down, but its downward motion well and truly inexorable at this point.
(21:50:42) CdrHarper: We must break off, engines are critical!
(21:51:21) ColDougMcKnight: ACTION> Also, steam from a broken pipe!
(21:51:54) LtWright: Admiral, we're going to lose this station. I'm still showing... 57 lifeforms aboard. :: absently patting embers out on her uniform ::
(21:51:56) VAdmBlackthorne: :: gets up and looks at the helm console's readouts over Kate's shoulder, then looks at her with a solemn face :: Cut engines and tractor.
(21:52:15) VAdmBlackthorne: :: turns to Wright : Can we transport them?
(21:52:26) LtWright: :: winces and cuts the tractor ::
(21:52:51) CdrHarper: :: brings impulse engines back to stable flight mode from ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH mode ::
(21:53:06) CdrHarper: :: readouts start to return to happiness ::
(21:53:37) LtWright: Maybe. I'll put out the call for help and do what we can. :: fingers already flying across her console ::
(21:54:52) CdrHarper: Engines returning to normal, although somewhat slowly.
(21:54:53) LtWright: :: Urgent communique to all vessels in vicinity to cease attempts to save station and focus on retrieving lifeforms while we still can ::
(21:56:32) LtWright: +TR3+ Transporter 3, prepare for guests and let me know if they arrive safely! :: after configuring transporters to alien lifeforms on moving and accelerating target, attempts a beamout ::
(21:56:49) VAdmBlackthorne: :: watching the station sink, turns sharply to T'Kirr :: Find out from Engineering if we can reinforce the shields to descend deeper, and if so, what that limit would be.
(21:57:04) LtKuari: :: had heard the ship straining around her, but now it seems to be all right again ::
(21:57:39) CdrTKirr: :: quickly :: Aye. :: rings up Engineering ::
(21:58:14) LtWright: +Sickbay+ Wright to Sickbay, please send medic teams to Transporter rooms 3 and 4, we are attempting evac of remaining lifeforms on the station
(21:58:55) ColDougMcKnight: Quinn> +T'Kirr+ Please tell me you're not calling to ask if we can do that again.
(21:59:11) LtKuari: :: helps move people from a TR pad ::
(21:59:29) LtWright: TR3> +Wright+ They're a bit shaken but okay. Pad is clear.
(21:59:52) CdrTKirr: +Quinn+ We need reinforcements to the shields to withstand greater pressure. Can we do it?
(21:59:54) LtWright: +TR4+ Transporter 4, prepare for guests
(22:01:09) LtWright: :: continues to perform beamouts as fast as the pads can be cleared, only managing a few at a time and gritting her teeth as it takes longer and longer to complete transport with each passing moment ::
(22:02:34) VAdmBlackthorne: Lt. Wright. Given the station's current level of bouyancy, what is the approximate level of this atmosphere that it will be neutrally bouyant, and is that below its estimated crush depth?
(22:02:51) VAdmBlackthorne: (and if a train leaves from Boston at 60 mph going west...)
(22:02:55) ColDougMcKnight: Quinn> Uh...maybe? We're running some tests on the EPS grid. That last strain may have caused some overloads.
(22:03:27) ColDougMcKnight: Quinn> At the risk of overstepping myself, may I ask what purpose that's going to serve?
(22:04:41) CdrTKirr: +Quinn+ :: calmly :: We're attempting to rescue people from a sinking station that will soon be crushed. Time is of the essence.
(22:04:51) LtWright: Stand by. :: starts running calculations on a side panel while simultaneously continuing evac operations ::
(22:06:43) ColDougMcKnight: +T'Kirr+ Then I'm sorry to say, you're going to need another option. We'll definitely need shields to follow that station down, and that will rule out transporters as well as the tractor beam. And we don't have anything else onboard that will survive if launched.
(22:06:52) ColDougMcKnight: (^Quinn)
(22:07:41) CdrTKirr: +Quinn+ Thank you. :: looks up to Blackthorne to see if he copied the transmission ::
(22:08:26) VAdmBlackthorne: :: nods ::
(22:08:37) VAdmBlackthorne: )
(22:09:32) CdrHarper: :: spins around :: Admiral. The miners use ships built to withstand the pressure down there. They refer to them as crush cans. If one of those has a transporter aboard, perhaps it could go down and rescue more people.
(22:09:56) ColDougMcKnight: ACTION> On screen, the station finally sinks out of sight, and out of transporter range. Sadly, 22 of the 57 remain unaccounted for.
(22:10:09) LtWright: Admiral, I believe the station will achieve neutral buoyancy prior to reaching crush depth, but my calculations indicate that the remaining balloons will be compromised by the pressure. So it will be neutrally buoyant and not crushed, but... I don't know for how long.
(22:10:37) LtWright: And I've lost transporter range. We were unable to complete evac.
(22:10:52) VAdmBlackthorne: So they may have more time after all, but we can't go down there. Wright, put out a call suggesting the use of the crush cans for further rescue efforts.
(22:12:18) LtWright: :: alerts nearby vessels that we are unable to maintain descent and have lost transporter range, that there are still 22 lifeforms aboard the station, and inquires as to potential use of "Crush Cans" for further rescue operations ::
(22:12:19) LtKuari: :: sits back on her haunches facing the transporter pad, then looks to the tech when nothing happens :: Well? Where are the rest?
(22:13:17) LtKuari: TransTech> They're out of range. :: shakes his head ::
(22:14:25) CdrHarper: :: keeps Atlantis in a holding pattern, engines having finally returned to normal ::
(22:15:09) LtWright: :: hands clenched into fists of white-knuckled frustration ::
(22:15:45) ColDougMcKnight: ACTION> After a few moments, Wright gets a response on her hail, emanating from one of the crush cans in question.
(22:15:48) VAdmBlackthorne: :: looks at the swirling clouds on the viewer as they wait for an answer ::
(22:15:59) LtWright: We have a response, Sir.
(22:16:28) LtWright: :: ready to press the "on screen" button ::
(22:16:36) VAdmBlackthorne: Go.
(22:16:52) LtWright: :: opens channel ::
(22:17:46) ColDougMcKnight: ACTION> The image of a rather cramped cockpit fills the screen, and sitting at the controls is an Ahn Sa'ti that Wright or Harper might remember from the station, squinting at the screen.
(22:18:05) ColDougMcKnight: Senchal> Oh, that's a dimly lit control center. Thank the spirits.
(22:18:39) LtWright: :: blinks in surprise and recognition ::
(22:19:51) CdrHarper: :: looks up at the voice :: Senchal.
(22:19:52) LtKuari: :: stares at the empty transporter pad, hoping the Bridge Crew can work magic ::
(22:20:36) LtWright: :: turns back to The Chair :: Commander Harper and I know this individual, Sir.
(22:21:10) ColDougMcKnight: Senchal> ::Grimaces and makes a "lower volume" motion with his hand.:: Sorry. I'll be honest. I really shouldn't even be flying this thing right now. I have no idea how I managed to stumble my way out of that place.
(22:21:48) CdrHarper: :: half-smirks ::
(22:22:00) LtWright: :: attempts to look innocent ::
(22:23:32) LtWright: :: looks askance at the Admiral and Commander, waiting for one of them to initiate discussion ::
(22:24:28) CdrHarper: Are you alright?
(22:24:45) CdrHarper: :: quick glance at the Admiral to be sure she is not overstepping ::
(22:25:48) ColDougMcKnight: Senchal> As much as I ever am after payday. Look, I got your message. Not sure what to tell you. Yes, we can definitely follow that station down to its crush depth and beyond. But I have no idea what we'd do when we got there.
(22:26:56) LtWright: :: glances to make sure she's not overstepping :: It appears that the vessel can only accomodate one at a time? Is that the case?
(22:28:05) ColDougMcKnight: Senchal> No, there's some space beyond this room, but not much. But the vast bulk of this thing is the H3 holding tank. And we have emergency transporters, but its range down there would barely get me from one end of that room to the other. It's just designed to evacuate from one crush can to another, if they're just about kissing first.
(22:28:38) VAdmBlackthorne: Could we boost the range?
(22:30:19) LtWright: (( who are you asking? ))
(22:31:31) CdrTKirr: (( Senchal I think? ))
(22:31:36) VAdmBlackthorne: (Anyone, really, but mainly Senchal)
(22:32:10) ColDougMcKnight: (Sorry, had to answer a side thing really quick.)
(22:33:32) ColDougMcKnight: Senchal> ::Shrugs:: I'm a pilot first and a mechanic a distant second, but I doubt it. But...wow, we'd have to work pretty fast, but we might be able to pull of something a little less high tech.
(22:34:10) LtWright: Such as?
(22:34:33) CdrTKirr: :: looks up to the viewscreen from her scanner ::
(22:36:30) VAdmBlackthorne: :: what she said ::
(22:37:30) ColDougMcKnight: Senchal> Well, the ship and the holding tank are technically two separate components. I wouldn't exactly call it seamless, but the tank can technically be removed for replacement. Normally, it's done in a specialized facility we don't have on hand, but if you can clear the space for us to park these things, and throw everyone who knows how to hold a hammer
(22:38:07) ColDougMcKnight: at it...to be honest, I have no idea if we could do that fast enough. But I don't have anything else for you.
(22:38:35) LtWright: To what end?
(22:38:38) VAdmBlackthorne: It's better than giving up. We can certainly clear a shuttlebay. How many crush cans are available?
(22:40:12) VAdmBlackthorne: :: to Wright :: Removing the large H3 tank would give the transporters more range, since it could get closer to the station's hull.
(22:41:07) ColDougMcKnight: Senchal> That, and we'd actually have somewhere to put anyone we got out.
(22:41:12) LtWright: :: blushes with embarassment :: Aye.
(22:41:50) LtWright: Shall I have shuttle bay 2 prepped?
(22:42:17) VAdmBlackthorne: Yes, have the shuttles moved to other bays.
(22:42:28) VAdmBlackthorne: I'm still unsure how many guest ships to expect.
(22:42:31) LtWright: :: starts issuing orders ::
(22:42:43) LtWright: :: to operations crew, as is her wont ::
(22:43:11) LtWright: Senchal, how many crush cans can we expect?
(22:43:37) ColDougMcKnight: Senchal> Clear out all the space you've got. I'll put the word out.
(22:44:48) VAdmBlackthorne: Clear two bays.
(22:45:45) VAdmBlackthorne: (Never mind, we don't have the extra)
(22:46:07) LtWright: I'll have the maintenance bays cleared. How about the fighter bay?
(22:46:29) CdrTKirr: ((Was gonna say))
(22:46:43) LtWright: (( just looked up the ship specs and saw we don't have a shuttle bay 2, oops ))
(22:47:19) CdrHarper: We can store some shuttles there, but the Mustangs and Peregrines must stay due to their support equipment.
(22:47:40) LtWright: We can launch the shuttles.
(22:47:49) LtWright: Just to get them out of the way.
(22:48:11) CdrTKirr: Why don't we just launch the shuttles until we've completed our rescue?
(22:48:17) CdrTKirr: ((Oh you beat me ))
(22:48:50) VAdmBlackthorne: If we have the pilots to spare. Sharks exempt from that, I want them here if needed.
(22:49:10) CdrHarper: Aye sir.
(22:49:35) LtWright: Commander Harper, are there pilots available to tak the shuttles out for a spin?
(22:50:36) LtWright: +Quinn+ Wright to Engineering.
(22:50:38) ColDougMcKnight: :: Conveniently stepping off the turbolift just then. :: My certifications are still up to date, sir.
(22:50:41) CdrHarper: Negative, Admirals orders for no Sharks to be used.
(22:50:55) VAdmBlackthorne: Then you're on, Colonel. Glad to see you intact.
(22:51:18) LtWright: I meant, any other licensed pilots who are not Sharks.
(22:51:28) ColDougMcKnight: Thank you, sir. Just wish I had more success than that to report.
(22:52:11) CdrTKirr: (( I was under the impression a shuttle could easily be manned by a crewman and flown by the computer, especially if just standing by and not doing anything special ))
(22:52:11) CdrHarper: I have a few names then, that I had on the list for potential training.
(22:52:48) LtWright: (( me too, but the Admiral said pilots and I fear his wrath ))
(22:53:21) VAdmBlackthorne: (( As well you should. Muahahahaha!!!!)
(22:53:35) LtWright: (( :: cowers dutifully :: ))
(22:53:41) VAdmBlackthorne: (And at least from what I've seen, flying a shuttle requires certification)
(22:55:21) CdrHarper: To that end, we could launch the Sharks as well and clear the assault bay.
(22:55:26) VAdmBlackthorne: (Five minutes!)
(22:56:17) LtWright: +Quinn+ Repeat, Wright to Engineering, I promise I'm not going to ask about tractor beams if that helps...
(22:57:32) VAdmBlackthorne: We'll keep that in mind, if we need the extra room.
(22:58:41) LtWright: (( Admiral, Engineering has mutinied. ))
(22:58:53) ColDougMcKnight: (Ugh, sorry. Had to break out some cat food.)
(22:59:39) ColDougMcKnight: Quinn>+Wright+ Sorry, go ahead.
(23:00:20) VAdmBlackthorne: (Atlantis gains sentience, says "Fuck this, I'm out. PEACE")
(23:00:55) VAdmBlackthorne: Annnnnnnnnnnndddddd......... PAUSE SIM
(23:00:57) VAdmBlackthorne: PAUSE SIM
(23:00:59) VAdmBlackthorne: PAUSE SIM
(23:01:00) CdrTKirr: :: pauses ::
(23:01:04) DoctorTav: :: pauses ::
(23:01:06) LtKuari left the room.
(23:01:21) LtWright: +Quinn+ FYI - we have multiple crush cans incoming from which we will be attempting to remove the H3 tank as quickly as possible without compromising the hull integrity of the crush can. We have been asked to enlist, and I quote, "everyone who knows how to hold a hammer". Shuttle bay and maintenance bays are being cleared.
