OOC: With permission from Jake I am moving us along in the shuttle. So anything we think we need, just say so, or grab it while we were still in sickbay. We have permission to make it to the Einstein with no major problems. Insert whatever you need/want in between my ramblings. LOL Jake, I hope this is what you meant.
IC:
Casela arrived in the shuttle bay to find Fenrir waiting. She pulled out the isochip she’d downloaded Einstein’s schematics onto. “Hopefully this will help you find your way, Fenrir.” She knelt down and inserted the chip into his data port for upload. While it did she spoke softly to him. “Thank you for being kind to Gen. I think she likes you.” And then she grabbed the pattern enhancers/confinement beam/signal boosters and attached them to Fenrir. “We need you to identify what signal, wave length, whatever it is that Sandman is using to put the crew the sleep. But first we need you to find his prison in the science lab so we can trap him. If you can get it, bring it back to us, if not I need you to make sure the way is clear so the team can reach it. You’ve been running training with the Black Devils, so you are familiar with them. Niven is leading.”

Bog was dressed in his work attire , a heavy machinists apron and toll belt loaded with assorted tools, there was a moments tension when he appropriated the chocks and Tie downs from the deck crew. But his his reputation proceeded him and the crew boss backed down with no more than the Tellarite looking up at him with a raised eyebrow and hands on his hips.

She finished updating Fenrir on what was going on. She had the communicator so she could give further direction if necessary. She moved to the Krakin and opened the shuttle. “Let’s load up and get our people.” She stepped into the shuttle and to the pilots seat and began her pre-flight check as GLaDOS, Bog, Fenrir and the RTF team got on board. Once all the equipment was stowed she closed and locked the door. “Mr. Bog will you take the operations console so that Lt. Cmdr. GLaDOS can prepare whatever she needs while we are in flight?”

With out comment Bog took the opps console and beta in imputing code. Matching the shield frequencies as best he could, and establishing a tight beam com link to the nearest of the two probes.
As they approached the shield boundary Bog initiated a graviton pulse threw the tractor Emitters that momentarily matched the phase to that of the shuttle.

Once everyone was settled she opened a channel to the CIC, “Leviathan this is Shuttle Krakin, we’re ready to depart.” Once getting clearance the shuttle bay doors opened, Casela engaged the maneuvering thrusters and took the shuttle out of the shuttle bay. She maneuvered the shuttle to keep the Leviathan between them and the incoming Ferengi ships. Once reaching the Einstein she cut the power and allowed the ship to drift through the shields. As Bog had said, the shields kept out fast moving objects not inert or slow moving ones. Once through the shields, Casela used the maneuvering thrusters to position the shuttle over the secondary communication array that Bog had chosen for his access attempt. With practiced care she moved the shuttle around and gently set it down, without the slightest bump, on to the hull of Einstein. She keyed up a link to Fenrir so she could see what he sees once he’s in the ship.

With the shuttle parked in proximity to the array, Bog attempted to establish a link, that would negate him from having to do so manually.

Casela would have preferred a coded message with the Ferengi out there, but with interference from the nebula she just wanted it to go through and make sure Leviathan knew they had arrived. =^=Leviathan, this is shuttle Krakin. We’ve arrived. We are attempting to boost signal from Einstein. Uj’aw and I are preparing for EVA to deploy the AARM.=^= Casela’s voice came across the comm.

She turned to Uj’aw. “Let’s get suited up. Lehiw take the pilot seat till I get back.” Casela paused, she was used to just getting things done. She wasn’t in charge though. She turned to Lt Cmdr GLaDOS, who was in charge. “Lehiw is an excellent pilot and the only other person, other than myself, with extensive piloting hours put in. With your permission Lt. Cmdr. I’d like to get Uj’aw and I suited up for EVA so we can get Fenrir inside Einstein and find out what’s going on before we decide if we need to go in or not.” While she spoke she was still getting her suit on, she HATED space walking, but she wouldn’t leave without GLaDOS’s approval, or acknowledgement. It didn’t look good to the RTF team for her to ignore the officer in charge. But time was precious and she couldn’t just sit and wait, so she sited up while she did.

Whet ever had jammed the comes was still plying havoc with Bog’s attempt the remote access’s the com array, so he was suiting up himself, “ Hell’s have it, I new I was going to have to do this, why didn’t you just suit up from the get go, you old fool.” He struggled a few moment getting the compression body glove over his rotund figure.

Once that was done and he mounted the EVA frame he retrieved an extra tricorder and secured it in his pouch.

With once more check to assure he was kitted our properly, “Don’t forget the crank, if the hatch won’t open to your command codes, you have to perform a manual override and hand crank the door.I assume you two remember how to do that?” The distinct clunk-click of his mag boots engaging and disengaging clear in the small compartment.

Bog

Casela gave him a scathing look. “Of course I do, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t know how to do that. Lefty tighty, righty loosey, right?” Casela had such a bad sense of humor. Uj’aw, used to her humor from training laughed until his wife, Niven gave him a look to shut him up. “Jokes are illogical at this time, Lt.” Niven interjected.

Casela shook her head, “As you say, Niven, as you say.”

GLaDOS nodded slightly. “As mentioned in Sickbay, I defer to your judgement. I won’t have this team paralyzed for choices just because they are waiting for my approval. My job here is to keep you awake, not to command you. Please, take charge of your team, Lieutenant.”

GLaDOS, not trying to be in charge like everyone seems to think she is

Casela nodded in acknowledgement. She wouldn’t ask again. This was her area of expertise, as it were. She stepped over to GLaDOS, “Alright Cmdr. Whatever you’ve got to give me. I’m not planning on going inside that ship, but let’s make sure if we end up in there we aren’t going to fall asleep. Everyone else too,” she looked at the RTF team and Bog.

She looked at Derrick. “Mr. Trainer. If you would suit up as well, I’d like you to take aim at anything that might try to come through the hatch. Hopefully there is nothing, but no need to be careless.” Casela waited, and once everyone was suited up she engaged the force field, leaving GLaDOS, Lehiw, and Niven on the safe side of the shuttle. Casela walked over to the hatch, “Mag boots on, EVA’s locked and on?” Getting a positive from everyone, she checked to make sure Fenrir had engaged his own mag-locks. Seeing that he had, she opened the hatch to the shuttle. Casela kept her eyes on the hull of the Einstein. She didn’t want to throw up in the EVA suit again. She stepped out and headed towards the access hatch, Uj’aw, Derrick, and Fenrir following. “Mr. Bog,” she said through the comm link of the suits, “As soon as we get Fenrir inside, I’ll come help you.”

Derrick simply nodded and checked his weapons. No other response was needed.

They reached the hatch and Casela knelt down and opened the access panel for the controls to the hatch. Setting the force field could notify whoever was inside of what they were doing. Not engaging it could harm anyone that was near by and would register as a containment breach. Either way someone was going to know. Unless she could trick the computer. Casela accessed the panel and instead of turning the force field on in one go, she slowly turned it on hoping the slow rise to full power would be less likely to be noticed. Once the force field was in place she put in the command code to unlock the hatch and nodded to Derrick and Uj’aw. Uj’aw nodded and began to lift the hatch.

Bog made his way to the array, using his tricorder to check for any unpleasant surprises. Once certain their were no traps, he began removing the armored cover so he could access the communication array’s network hub. Cation being important, as Bog would have ‘booby trapped’ this access. Tho it’s not Star Fleet policy.

Once the hub was accessed, Bog plugged the second tricorder he carried for this mission into the the system. Leaning back he checks to see that he has access to the ship’s primary network.

Quickly closing the cover, the Tellarite made his way back to the shuttle to begin infaltrating the network and main frame.

Uj’aw lifted the cover and with nothing having jumped out at them, Fenrir moved inside Einstein. Uj’aw closed the panel and Casela set the lock and then disengaged the force field. “Let’s get back to the shuttle.” She moved back with Trainor and Uj’aw. Once back inside she closed the rear access door to the shuttle and turned off the forcefield. She took off the helmet and gloves, but left the rest of the suit on just in case. “Alright Mr. Bog, let’s see what you can do.” Casela moved over to a computer screen and pulled up a link with Fenrir. It was grainy and weak, but she could see what he was seeing as he moved around the ship. She turned to GLaDOS, “Did the doc give you anything for vertigo? I could use it right about now. Always get it when I space walk.”

Using the installed tricorder to directly link the ships network to his tricorder and a pad, Bog uploaded the command codes needed to access the Einstien. First accessing lo priority, thus low security systems to gain a solid beachhead he activated the dry dock maintenance protocols and began switching command from the CO and XO to Starfleet maintenance command. Once recognized as the authorized administrator he inserted a string of code to prevent the system from reinitializing without his or Captain Cobb’s codes. The signal was glitchy, with fandom images and haunted sounds but the data stream was secure. Activating the ships internal com relays he attempted the raise the drone. =^= Bog to Ferris, Com check. Over=^=.

The maintenance command codes allowed Bog into the ships maintenance systems and engineering. He could even lower shields at this point, but navigation, security protocols, and weapons would need command access codes. The phantom images and hunted sounds became clearer and more pronounced on the screen. The same insubstantial face flickered over and over across the feeds.

=^=I am here Bog. I am searching for life signs. I detect 9 and there should be 10. I am attempting to locate them. I will begin at the bridge where they were last known to be.=^= Fenrir’s still slightly computerized voice came over the comm.

With the system now open to him The Tellarite installed a series of viruses to secure control of the major ships systems. He would have limited control from the tricorder but it would suffice for his needs.

Bog

“Can we patch our feed back to Leviathan now, Mr. Bog? I’m sure the Cpt and Cmdr would like another update, if there is one to be had.” From the pilots seat Lehiw informed the away team, “Two Ferengi ships have just dropped out of warp and are hailing the Leviathan.” Casela raised her brows. “We’re sitting ducks here if Sandman decides to take control of the shields are weapons again. Mr. Bog we need full control of that ship.”

Lt. Synthi-er, RTF

‘’I have engineering control, but the archived cam and codes have been changed. I am attempting to access the root directory and install you and I as the administrators.” Stubby fingers flying over the interface as he wrestle with what seemed to be a coherent and oily feeling opponent. “ the entity has some presence in the system, but it’s more organic feeling so not insurmountable. Honestly lieutenant, I am reticent to link the shuttle to the Einstein’s systems just yet, as I am transporting the away team back to the ship.”

‘’I would really like Fido to get the frequency from the containment module as I am into coms and can use the internal PA.’’
