SNIP

Jack had stayed behind the group in standard formation, keeping to the rear in case there was an emergency. He entered the room with the others and scanned the room both visually and with his medical tricorder.

Dr. Grey - CMO

With the rest of the away team piling into the room she clicked on her weapon’s white light, widening the beam. The extra lumens would help, then chewed her lower lip for a second. “Lights? Illumination?” It seemed some of the systems were still working, so lights should still be working. If they could get those up it would help.

Nudging her WTR-600, she set it to switch scan modes, giving her an identification overlay, showing what it could determine was in each of the crates in her line of sight, pointing to each one with a small line if it was too tiny, with a word or list overlay. Or if the object was larger, it highlighted the outline and listed it’s contents.

It even showed the various panel and consoles and their purposes as well, highlighting the light on the one that was active.

((Sam, please provide ident where possible according to what is bolded. <3 ))

The crates were a mix of everything. Ration packs, power cells, the basics needed to run a base. The consoles served in general suggested that this was a communications and sensors building. Though most of the consoles were in low power mode. The primary communications console was active and performing one function. Blocking an outgoing communication.

((Awesome, thank you. ^_^))

Frowning when the lights didn’t come on to voice command, Maria fumbled around for where there should have been emergency hand lights, and popped one out. Immediately she clicked it on, spilling more pure white light into the area. Twisting a portion of it, the light went from a cone beam to spilling light in all directions like a lantern, giving them more light to see and work by.

“Seems there’s a fusion reactor still operational or this is off of batteries,” she remarked. “I’ll see if I can get the ODN relays to do anything more than burp at us,” she said. While their chief engineer was on hand, Maria had grown up on a family owned and operated freighter. She was used to pitching in and fixing stuff, and crawling around in the innards and maintenance access points of just about anything. If she hadn’t gone into security and later intelligence work, she would have been a bang-on engineer, and she kept up on her certifications as well. Especially if she might need them as a cover, or to keep her sharp on how best to sabotage an enemy’s equipment.

The technology here was not so far back as to be duotronic, but certainly wasn’t up to present standards. The family freighter had been older, so this was somewhere in the middle and, like most Starfleet designs, easy to work on.

—Contingencies—

((Anybody is welcome to get lights/power back up or at least semi-operational before the LT does. I believe Harmon has a background in operations/engineering as well, doesn’t he?))

Lt Beckett, CoS

Dani frowned as she wiped her arm across the top of the console to clear the dust. “Sir,” she called over her shoulder to the XO. “This console seems to be jamming an outgoing transmission. I’m gonna see if I can play it. May help make sense of what happened here.”

Setting her light down to shine across the surface of the console, she started glancing around and pulling up various systems to see if they would work…

Lights
Communications
Logs

If she could, she was gonna see what the computer would play of the outgoing message. If she couldn’t manage it, then she would see about the AI on the Memorial tapping in to help.

CE/AI Spec

Watching the CE start tinkering with the communications console, Aidan figured it was up to the rest of them to get the lights back on instead, as that was apparently not a priority for the Lieutenant. Seeing Beckett digging into an open ODN access point, Aidan moved over towards her. As he did, he safed his riffle and slung it across his back.

“I think there is an easier way Lieutenant. There is obviously an issue with the control net as the emergency lighting should at least still be running in here. I suggest we bypass the ODN network completely, and tie the lights directly into the power grid. We won’t have much control over them, but it should get us lights without having to figure out what is corrupting the controls.

“I should be able to bypass the controls over by the main entrance, if you wanted to help Lieutenant. Or we could always divide and conquer to see who might be able to get the lights on the fastest.”

Ens Harmon - Sec

The CE’s inspection would yield little new information. Flipping one switch did light up a different panel, faded with age. On the screen were the words “SOS. The king is lost. SOS.”

Ensign Harmon, poking around the main entrance would find a loose panel, behind which hid wires. Some of them looked purposely disconnected.

-GM

Jack stepped into the room and examined it, he turned sharply at the nearby light source and cocked his head, walking towards the CE “The king is lost” He read “Interesting SOS”

Dr. Grey - CMO

The words, scrolled across the screen, made Dani frown. “XO, Sir… we have an SOS that was typed in at the end, or near enough, to the last entries. It stated “The King is Lost” then repeats the SOS.” She glanced towards JT and frowned. “Should we see if the AI has any knowledge of the King referenced here?” She wasn’t sure the ship records would help, but they weren’t sure here.

Glancing back down at the console while awaiting his response, she tried to get more of the logs to come up. She did glance sideways a moment to the others working on the lights. It dawned on her, then, she probably should have checked that first.

That was not something that would be referenced. “Who’s the King referring to. That’s not traditional federation lingo.”

Janzen

Dani shook her head, still thinking. “Not a lingo thing. I’m guessing a nickname or a Code Name. I have sent the files to the Memorial and I am hoping AIMe (1) will be able to figure out the context. But that fact that something ‘fell’ and the base is now abandoned does not bode well.” She hoped in the files that AIMe, and now she, herself, were going through, one of them would figure out where THE KING would have been mentioned.
