“The sensors picked up the crew’s combadges on the surface?” Jason repeated incredulously. “Ensign Duffy full stop.”

“Yes sir,” Ensign Shannon Duffy repeated as her chubby childlike fingers danced across her console. “Full stop.”

“That means we have a chance to rescue them,” Jason declared. “Toro hail the Olinski. I want to run this by the captain before we try anything risky.”

Jason Harn, XO

Toro did as ordered =^=Dragoon to the Olinski.=^= She commed over “Comm channel is open Commander.” She said as she moved her hands across the panel in front of her.

CIO

=^=Dragoon to Olinski,=^=Jason reported. =^=Power has been restored and we’ve raised the shields to protect ourselves from Antioch’s microwave weapon,=^= he added as he realized what a colossal mistake he almost made. It wouldn’t do to raise the shields and move towards the Olinski without establishing communication. Not when the planet below had a MIND CONTROL weapon. Talk about a blunder. =^=Toro reports that our sensors are picking up the combadges of the Dragoon’s officers and crew down on the surface. I’m thinking that if we had some more medical and security personnel beamed over here we could start trying to recover our people. We wouldn’t beam them all up at once of course, we’d beam them up in groups to make it easier to process them.=^=

Jason Harn, XO

=^= Parker to Harn. Lets not beam anyone over yet. Com badges do not equal crew. Just combadges. Lets get a report from the Away Team first and then in small groups as you suggest,=^= Parker replied.

=^= Roger that sir. USS Dragoon standing by. Harn out.=^= He glanced over to the tactical station. “Toro send the coordinates of those combadges down to the away team on the planet. And to the fighters while your at it,” he added in an afterthought. “That should speed up the search and hopefully let us recover the
Dragoon’s crew before the bad guys make their next move.”

OOC: In the Star Trek: The Starfleet Survival Guide by David Mack (published by Pocket Books in 2002) I discovered that tricorders have subspace transceivers, allowing communication AKA file transfers between the starship and an away team. How about that?

Jason Harn, XO finally learning the value of communication

|OOC: Awesome research. So texting is possible.
Sidney

OOC: Is it an improvement from the technology we have today? :)

Kenson

Toro nodded as she sent the known coordinates to the away team and the fighters “Messages are with the various teams.” She said “With the weapon that they have on the surface do you think that the crew of the Dragoon would have taken off their badges and just left them lying around?” She asked knowing full well that this was not something that a crew would not do without something happening.

CIO

“It depends on how familiar our mind controllers are with Starfleet,” Jason shrugged. “Rather than setting the Dragoon for self destruct they just left it floating in a wide orbit of the planet. I’m getting the impression that there’s a supercomputer that’s using the mind control weapon as a security system or something. There’s a good chance that finding the combadges will help us find our people.”

Jason Harn, XO and a glass half full kind of guy

Toro nodded “Would you like me to scan the surface to see if there is an unusual power source that might indicate a large computer or other system that would require the amount of power required to use this weapon?” Toro asked as she continued to scan for additional comm badges on the surface and was sending information to the away team that was on the surface.

CIO

“That’s a good idea,” Jason nodded while mentally kicking himself for not thinking of it himself. “I assumed that just because they’ve got some kind of technology that overrides our will that they’re highly advanced in other areas including hiding their energy signatures, but that’s just an assumption. For all we know they just figured out a clever way to utilize technology that we no longer use in a way we never thought of. Maybe we need a fresh set of eyes on this.” He tapped his combage. =^=Mister Gould to the bridge.=^=

Jason had been letting his mind control phobia blind him, but he wasn’t the only officer on board. There were two department heads aboard the Dragoon with him and together they could brainstorm ideas on how to make the away team’s job easier.

OOC: Ever since I saw Geordi LaForge say “Transferring engineering functions to the bridge,” I realized that there’s no excuse to leave the chief engineer in main engineering. Come to think of it, Kirk’s Enterprise had two engineering substations on the bridge too.

Jason Harn, XO, finally giving Sam Pennington a chance to post something

=/\=On my way sir.=/\= Within moments, Michael appeared. “You rang? I had Shaw transfer engineering controls to this console, we should be good to go. What can I do for you Commander?” He appeared to be in better spirits now that the ship was at least at basic function.

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

“I just thought it would be a good time for the officers aboard this ship to put their heads together and brainstorm for a bit,” Jason shrugged. “Let’s figure out what we know and see if we can find out more. Maybe we can find a way to help the away team down there. So… what do we know? What have we observed?”

Jason Harn, XO

Toro could locate the commbadges at various places on the planet: some had people nearby them, others did not. Just then a comms station showed that there was a commbadge to commbadge message on the planet. The commbadge of the one sending belonged to the XO of the Dragoon, Lieutenant Commander Conan Hartwell. He was attempting to communicate with the Dragoon’s CO.

OOC: I don’t remember giving names for the crew of the Dragoon. If I had, please point to the post. I have been searching and came up empty. :(

GM (who has gaps in his memory)

OOC: Don’t worry I don’t recall any names being given out either.

R Smith, AKA Jason Harn

OOC: The only names I can recall were the names of the child’s parents. Lt. Paul Reiser (eng) and Ens. Judith Reiser (Stellar cart) –Terry

Toro looked over at Harn “It looks like the first officer is trying to contact the CO. So that could negate the theory that they have taken off their comm badges.” She said as she continued to scan for additional comm signs “Or does he think the Captain is still aboard the Dragoon?”

While she was running the searches, she began pulling up the crew manifest to learn more about the crew that might be useful to the teams on the ground.
