Lissi frowned. “Four secret stashes of Romulan technology and apparently not well guarded.” The Chief Engineer frowned a moment. “Well, if we can figure out the tech specific to each Romulan style vessel, maybe we can figure out the location of salvage. This will give us a line of travel and maybe help us also figure out where they came from and why they are here.” She was frowning over the various things they had already discovered. Wiz had done amazing with what little he had managed to adapt for the city to use. What would that kid be able to do with real parts and not salvage?

And who had taught him? Was that the person responsible for what was happening? Too many questions and not enough answers. And all she could see was more reasons for the away team to be cautious.

Turning to the Captain as the comm came in, she added before he could respond. “They should be careful, Sir. If the insides were cloaked before they started losing power, we could end up double edged in helping them restore it. It wouldn’t take but the flick of a button to once more hide the occupants and we could lose our people over there.” The idea of losing her best friend, Kate, didn’t sit well with her so she quickly shoved it to the back of her mind. Kate was more than capable of taking care of herself and anyone else over there. Lissi just had to keep that in mind.

OOC: Sorry to burst your bubble. I did mention that the crew were made up of young people who were cast out of their systems. Young people who are far more advanced than the society that they live in usually are seen as a threat to said society. Unless the society is progressive, progressive young people do not usually fit in. Usually these progressive young people are geniuses …

GM

“They hid their systems with the cloak before, but we had contact with our people before the cloak went down. As it is only working inside the ship itself, it begs to suggest it works a bit different than a regular cloaking field that is on the outside of a ship. It does though ponder some dangers… what are our locks on the team? If we had to do emergency beam outs could we?” Calin asked to anyone who felt they could give him the answer first.

Calin, CO

“The away team can be beamed out immediately if required,” replied Solark. “My reading is that the artificial singularity is being contained by power from backup batteries. The containment is sustained by their fusion engines. They seem to have run out of deuterium. I suspect that they moved because they were desperate to get deuterium from the deuterium collectors that are found on their dorsal fore hull.”

Solark

Veyn breathed a sigh of relief with the report that the away team could be beamed out instantly if needed. He supposed he had never had any reason to believe otherwise, but something about this situation felt tense, and he was more nervous that usual that something, anything would go wrong. For now, he continued to monitor the sensors and hold his breath.

“May I suggest that we provide them some deuterium to keep their life support up, at least,” said Solark

Solark

“How much can we spare? I don’t want them escaping but… we need to stabilize them as well. Suggested load for their needs?” Rivar asked to whomever felt they had the answer in the room.

Calin, CO

“300 Megagrams would keep their life support going for the next hour. Another 500 to keep the artificial singularity stable for the same time,” replied Solark.

Solark

Lissi did a quick check and nodded. “That would be sufficient for now. And wouldn’t leave us too short should something come up on our end.” She looked from the CO to Solark. “The last option may be to put as many as we can on the Odin and shut down non essential sections of their ship while we help repair it. Harder, but manageable if we can’t get things going faster the first way.”

She didn’t like the idea of them being on the ship, but she hated the idea of them dieing, or using up the Odin’s store, even more.

“May I suggest that Lt. Ka’Lissi oversee the transfer?” asked Solark.

Solark

Veyn was relieved that the conversation had turned toward extending an olive branch. His earlier suggestion of basic rations hadn’t been deemed necessary but… well, oxygen was certainly important. He set the Odin’s sensors to monitor the oxygen level of the other ship and give an alert if it reached a critically low point.

(Lt. J.g. Veyn, Science)

The oxygen levels were not at critical point yet but it would get there if nothing was done. On their sensors, there was only the movement on the bridge and the team at Engineering. All seemed at alert green.

“Please report,” said Solark to Veyn, “if you see anything suspicious.”

Solark

OOC: Due to the RL situation concerning our CO, may I suggest that Solark take charge of the situation, since XO has boarded the pirate ship?

Kenson

((forgive me if I cross the line, but I am making an exit to our CO so he is not simply ‘dropped’ from the Sim… GM, XO, feel free to override, erase or change if necessary))

Lissi looked up as Solark recommended she take over the transfer. “Of the material to them or them to the Odin, Sir?”

She glanced from Solark to the CO and back, wondering which had been decided since the question she had posed was a ‘one or the other’ type of query.

“Solark, see to it.” The CO nodded to the man and turned for his Ready Room. “I will be in my Ready Room. Let me know how the exchange goes. I am going to reach out through other channels and see if we can figure out where this may have originated.” He then stepped out as the door whooshed shut behind him.

Lissi felt the edges of her lips curl up as she watched him depart. “Leave it to him to have higher powers to go to in a pinch.” She shook her head in awe, a twinge of jealousy at his connections pulling on the edges of her mind. Turing back to the COO, she gave him a half shrug. “Well, Sir. Would you rather have them here on the Odin while we repair the ship, or give them the additional power and let them help us with repairs over there?” She was already rising in preparations to depart the bridge as she asked.
