Time passed in a little storage room on the ship, its surprise occupant unaware how long it had been. So much so that when 1600 hours rolled around, there was no Dira strolling across the bridge to Taylor’s ready room for their scheduled meeting. Nor at 1605 or 1610.Commander Myqian, XO
Willow had briefly glanced up at 1605 and not thought much of the time as she returned to her administration duties. Come 1610 her brow had furrowed but dutifully she continued, frowning all the while. By 1620 the frown was in danger is becoming permanently etched into her face. By 1625 she was worried.
=^= Taylor to Myqian, did you sleep in this time?=^= she asked. Half a shared joke, half a hope because the Al tentative was either something had happened to her XO or something was going on elsewhere on the ship. She brought up GALEN’s internal display and did a quick systems check to make sure there wasn’t a fire or something somewhere of the detectable variety.
Willow Taylor
COThere were no emergency situations on the ship and more notable, perhaps, there was no answer from Myqian.
Commander Myqian, XO
Willow frowned and hit her badge again. =^= Taylor to Myqian, Dira please respond.=^= she said and waited another moment.
There was no response.
=^= GALEN what is the location of Commander Myqian? =^=
Willow Taylor
CO=/\=Commander Myqian is not aboard the Ogawa.=/\=
Commander Myqian, XO
((OOC: Dun Dun DUUUUNNNNNN!!!))
Willow stared at the bulkhead a moment. =^= Clarify that, Commander Myqian is no where on board the ship at this time?=^=
=/\=Correct, Captain. There is no one On the Ogawa matching her Biosignature.=/\=
She waited for the reply then immediately opened her comment again. =^= Taylor to Security. I am unable to locate Commander Myqian.=^=
Willow Taylor
COCommander Myqian, XO
OOC: You can trick the badge trackers, but you can’t fool GALEN! Huzzah!
- Nick
Zoi looked up sharply as she received the call from the Bridge and Captain Taylor. What did she mean she was unable to locate Dira? She tapped her comm badge and responded with a confused look on her face and in her voice. =/\=What do you mean you are unable to locate Commander Myqian?=/\=
Haven, CoS
=^= I mean she’s not being recognised as being on the ship. She’s late for her shift, I want…=^= but what Willow wanted wasn’t going to be said because at that point…
At that exact moment, the Ready Room door opened and GALEN protested, =/\= Warning, Unranked Crew Member Sir Mister Sir - unauthorized access to Captain’s Ready Room via manual controls will be logged and Security will be alerted to your presence. Remain where you are and await detainment. =/\=
“Yes, GALEN, I’ll do that. Maybe I can learn to make tapioca pudding while I wait!” said the figure who had just stalked through the door, and it was clear that it was Oscar Cascarrabias. “Boss, I’m sure you noticed - for whatever reason, GALEN has decided that I am nobody, at least according to my biometric scans, and when I tried to look for myself, GALEN reported that I wasn’t on the ship. I would have normally asked the XO about this, but GALEN says she’s not aboard, so I’m asking you instead, since you’re the only person with the authority to fix it besides me - and the computer doesn’t think I have that authority.”
“What?” She said looking confused at the irate CE. “That’s…not possible, you were registered…”
Oscar was fuming, so he didn’t notice that the CO was already busy.
Oscar Cascarrabias
CEUpon hearing the unmistakable voice of the CE barging in on their conversation over the comm system. Zoi turned immediately to her console and worked to locate the person currently using Oscar Cascarrabias’s biometric readings.
Haven, CoS
Holding a hand up in a ‘wait a second’ gesture she turned her attention back to the comm. =^= Zoi…we may have an intruder somewhere masking themselves as Oscar.=^=
She moved around her desk towards the door. “Chief, come with me. Now.” She said and headed to meet Zoi on the bridge.
Willow Taylor
COOscar, realizing that he had happened upon something very strange going on, albeit inadvertently, sighed and did as ordered.
“On your aft, Captain.”
- Oscar Cascarrabias, CE
Zoi came onto the Bridge and immediately transferred her PaDD to the security station. “Captain, Commander Myqian is alive but is in some distress. I don’t think she is physically harmed, but she is very upset and scared. Security Team B, is checking internal transporter logs. The person may decide to use the transporter to get off the ship. Security Team C, is physically locking down all shuttles and shuttle bays.”
Relief swept through her, like a freezing bucket of water over a burning gnawing she felt in her chest.
“Where is she?” She asked as she approached the station.
“Perhaps GALEN can help to locate the person masquerading as an officer. We found that person. It was NE Schultz who I know is a crewmate. It seems like the intruder did some switching of identities.”
Haven, CoS
“Some switching? I got practically erased!” Oscar growled, albeit his isolation suit artificially lowered his volume from the bellow that he actually used to just an elevated volume. “You had better hope you find whoever did this first, because if I find him first, I’m going to take this off and lick him. Literally, not the figurative beating that the term apparently implies in certain circles.”
- Oscar “The Grouch” Cascarrabias, CE
Bump for captain
“Perhaps in the system but never in person Chief, I’m sure licking him won’t be necessary but let’s not rule it out.” She scowled slightly as if she might well let him carry out his threat.
“If he’s in the system as the chief, can we isolate that bio signature and see if it comes up?”
Willow Taylor
CO
“Thats the problem. Its a series of switches we are still running down. It shouldn’t be too much longer before we find out who it is and isolate his bio signature and hers. We just haven’t gotten there yet.”
=/\= Commander Haven. This is Security Team C. We have locked down the shuttle bay doors and are about to inspect the shuttles for occupants and extraneous supplies.=/\=
=/\= Proceed Lieutenant. Be careful as our XO might be a hostage and we do not want to cause her harm or spook the person responsible.=/\= Zoi responded. She wished she could be everywhere right now, leading the charge to find her partner. She had shoved her fear deep down inside her though. Being the Chief of Security was the most important part of her life right now, not the worried girlfriend.
=/\= Chief! One of the s…=/\= BOOM!!!
The ship shook as the voice cut out.
Haven, CoS
