The Counselor could only stand to the side and let the others around him work. The entire situation seemed weird, especially since there wasn’t a struggle on the ship and no sign of the crew.

CNS

Kolar waved his tricorder in that direction. “It looks good from here. But the engineering systems would have a finer eye than my tricorder.”

CSO

“Do you think some of us should get to the bridge before we try to turn this ship back on?” Jason asked, “or are we comfortable operating the Dragoon’s sensors from here? When we restore power, we don’t know how the planet’s defenses are going to react. They should be inoperative, but still…” He let his words hang in the air to make his point.

Michael finished hotwiring a console with his tricorder. The sole screen came alive. “This, my friends, is why we’re here. We could have a log from any terminal. Or, a log, and real time feedback on every move we make restarting the ship. No one ever wants to go to engineering. There’s more information here than anywhere else.” He brought up the most recent available status updates on the warp core. He thought that knowing what happened as power failed might show why power failed. Especially to an engineer’s eye.

Jason snorted in laughter. Gould was perfectly correct of course, but the controls here weren’t exactly user friendly and often multiple engineers were needed to do something that one person on the bridge could do by himself. “Tell us what to do, Mister Gould, we’re at your disposal.”

Jason Harn, XO

Ch’zaolrirh remained towards the back of the group. There were no immediate safety concerns for him to address other than the decreasing oxygen levels. He still wished to view the bridge and the ship’s armory before they left the Dragoon, but remained ready to assist with the restart for now.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

OOC: Very very sorry! I did not have time to post an emergency LOA. I am back now.

IC:

From the logs from that console, the Dragoon had detected the faint microwave emissions from the planet. However, when they got to orbit, the emissions had strengthened and flooded the ship. There was no warning and the Dragoon neither had its shields up nor prepared a counter for the microwave flooding. Then, the engineers systematically shut down the systems to the ship. At the same time, the crew were being transported to the surface of the planet. There was a program to shut down power and life support the moment the last transport was complete. The last transport was that of the senior staff officers.

GM

OOC: Who was transporting the crew to the planet. Was it an attempt to abandon ship, or were they being stolen away by the natives?

Luke

The transports were worked by the crew of the Dragoon.

GM

“Good news folks,” Michael said without looking up. “everything was turned off manually by the crew. Which means it’s all intact and ready to go. The crew was beamed off by onboard command and life support was set to shut down once everyone was off the ship. Good thing is, if they just turned systems off, we can turn it all back on. Start the ship up like she’s brand new. There should be an emergency power system. We could probably get that going, I can do a cold restart of the warp core and restore main power. Our only concern is the microwaves. I don’t know what they do, but the crew panicked and shut down. We’re going to use that backup power to get life support, computer, and shields working. In that order.” He finally looked up. “Sound good?”

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

“Make it so Mister Gould,” Jason shrugged, quoting his old CO from the Galaxy. His smile vanished as a disquieting thought occurred to him. “If there was nothing wrong with the ship, why would they all beam down?” he asked out loud.

Jason Harn, XO

The commander read the COS’s mind. He wondered why the Dragoon wouldn’t have simply pulled out of the microwave’s range.

“Caution, Commander, Were it I who powered down a star ship I would put a whole mess of booby traps so that only the right people could turn on a ship capable of wiping out an entire civilization.” Kolar waved his tricorder in a couple directions trying to collect information on odd wiring, or auto run programs. He also called up the prefix code and he bios of all the command crew of the Dragoon… better safe than sorry.

Kolar

The Andorian tugged on his cold suit as his eyes followed Kolar’s tricorder. At this point, he suspected that there would be minimal additional clues on the bridge or within the Dragoon’s security office. He called over to the chief engineer, “Mr. Gould, can we bring up the last log from the ship’s COS? In addition to booby traps, someone in his position might have attempted to leave a cryptic message for us to find.”

COS Chzaolrirh

“We can certainly try.” Michael tapped away at the console feeding through logs. If he couldn’t find the CoS’ log, he had a backup plan to search for system updates made by the security department.

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

He was able to assess the logs of the COS, CMO and the COO. The strange thing about the logs was that they all seem to end to abruptly. There were not entries that indicated that there were booby traps or extra security precautions implemented.

GM

That’s weird. Nothing in any officer’s log about extra security. Weird thing is, they all look cut off. Well. Either the entries just suddenly ended, or something is missing. Let’s get started on bringing on backup power. Let’s see…” He looked around the engine room. “this is Pendragon Class? Should be a manual override for emergency backup power somewhere.” He closed his eyes to recall exactly where and how it would work.

-Lt Michael Gould, CE
