OOC: Okay I think this is a good spot to fast forward a little to see if we can revitalize this sim a bit. I am taking into account the engine/system repairs, the successful creation of an aerosol to treat the entire crew and re-ventilation of the entire ship to rid it of the radiation.

IC:

It took a little over 48 hours for the final repairs of the ship to take place, during that time science and medical were successful in both getting rid of the radiation and treating the entire crew with the aerosol medication. It took another 6 hours to clear the nebula. As the Saracen cleared the nebula the communications panel pinged signalling an incoming emergency call.

GM Nosferatu

With the Captain and XO both retired to their quarters and most of the senior staff busy with other duties, command of the bridge fell on to Master Chief Gordon. The old Master Chief, who had spent most of his time with Security, was the only enlisted person on the ship who had taken and passed the bridge duty officer test. He sat in the command chair, reading up on the latest security report when a young NE at communication spoke.

“Master Chief, I am picking up a distress call.” She said quickly, her voice showing elevated concern.

“Let’s hear it,” Gordon stated, setting down his report.

-CMDCM

The communication opened up but it was very apparent that it was patchy due to some form of interference and was only voice.
=^=This is ....Commander Andrew Jones ....Aberdeen shipyards ....Alderbaran III…any Starfleet ship in the area....experiencing system failures…unknown radiation....explosions. Please respond.=^=

GM Nosferatu

=^=Commander Jones, This is the Saracen. We are enroute to your position now. Are there any ships in your area?=^= Gordon replied, nodding to the helmsmen as he did.

=^=Bridge to Commander Threwn, please report to the bridge.=^=

=^=On my way,=^= came the XO reply, it sounded like he was working out.

-CMDCM/XO

The only response was a burst of static from the comms, the signal was lost.

GM Nosferatu

Teller slid over to his station. He started scanning but there was little chance of him picking up something at this range.

A few moments later Threwn entered the bridge. He walked up to the Master Chief. “Report Master Chief” He asked.

“Sir, we have received a distress call from the Aberdeen shipyards. They state that they are experiencing systems failures, are suffering explosions and have a radiation problem. We are en route now. I tried to follow up but we lost the signal.” The Master Chief reported.

“At Warp 7, what’s our ETA ensign?” He asked the Helmsmen.

-XO

Before the Helm could answer the turbolift opened once more, Dante walking out and buttoning up his tunic. His timing was impeccable it seemed, either he had a sixth sense that something was going on, or he was already awake for some reason. A short yawn that he covered with the back of his hand revealed the likely cause being the newborn baby that was dominating the Knight castle every evening.

“Good morning people,” Dante said as he walked around to the command chairs. How are we all today?”

Captain Knight, CO

“Any radiation that would effect the ship yards would effect us. I should be able to pick it up at a safe range… just like a light, you can see it from further away than it can illuminate, but we might just be rushing into something we can’t handle either.”

Graham CSO

“More radiation? That sounds ominous,” Dante said, coming suddenly awake fully. “What are we rushing into today?”

OOC: My apologies, on top of running my business at home I now have a house guest of my granddaughter for a few weeks so am trying to figure out a new schedule:P

OOC: No apologies needed, we all get busy with real life, take your time.

IC:

Navigation once they were out of the nebula would be able to be much faster so Warp 7 was certainly doable. It would still take 3 days to get to Aldebaran at Warp 7 if they bumped it up to Warp 9 it would take a day and a half.

GM Nosferatu

“Three days at Warp 7 to Aldebaran, Sir. We are clear of the nebula and can go to Warp when you wish.” The Helm reported to Commander Threwn’s question.

“We have something going on with radiation at Aldebaran then?” Dante asked, “I better hear the report.”

Captain Knight, CO

Gordon chimed in, as he had been the Duty officer. “Sir, a few moments ago we recieved a distress call from the Aldebaran Shipyards. They reported Radiation, System failures and explosions before we lost the comlink.”

-CMDCM

Dante grunted in surprise, they had passed the planet not many days ago. “I see, in that case our next stop is Aldebaran III, people. Lieutenant Graham have your department monitor for that radiation they reported, hopefully like you suggested it won’t be too much for us either. Once we detect it, see if it bears any resemblance to the strange radiation the probe came with.”

“Helm, set course for Aldebaran III, take us to warp 9.3 and drop us out of warp at the edge of the system. I don’t want to run into anything before we get a chance to take a look at what is happening there.”

Sitting in his chair, Dante opened the comm line to all departments and set their daily orders to match the message he was sending all Department Heads and senior Department staff.

=/\= This is the Captain, we are enroute to Aldebaran III at maximum sustainable Warp responding to a distress signal. They have reported radiation, explosions and system failures before we lost contact. Aldebaran III is a large Federation colony with billions of inhabitants and significant orbital shipyards, we will lend whatever assistance we can. Our estimated time of arrival is 30 hours, I expect we will need Science investigating the radiation, Engineering working on restoring their systems and Medical to stand by to treat wounded and support their local hospitals. I want Security to stand by in case we discover malicious intent and to help evacuate those in need. All departments are to begin preparations for supporting Aldebaran III. =/\=

Captain Knight, CO

Graham spun from his station looking at the Captain. “They didn’t report what the radiation was, beyond the fact it was unknown.” Which actually conveniently eliminated several hundred possibilities, but with the elimination, it also eliminated known solutions. “It might not even be radiation.. if people don’t know what it is… they always say radiation.”

“The overwhelming number of radiations’ move at the speed of light.. or around that speed. Our FTL scanning might give us information, but I assume we’ll have to be much closer to get anything to work off of.” Despite this he continued to scan in that direction hoping to pick up something useful.

While the Captain spoke, helm acknowledged his orders and the ship shot to Warp 9.3, heading for Aldebaran III.

GM Nosferatu

OOC: Small edit, Warp was 9.3

IC: “Well, it looks like our day has started early,” Dante smiled at Master Chief Gordon. “I have the Bridge, Mr Gordon. I’m not going to get any sleep now, who wants coffee? I feel like I am going to need coffee.” Dante opened the message panel to check for reports and any other messages. The team in the hangar bay was still working on the probe information, he expected that would not be far away now.

Captain Knight, CO

The turbolift doors opened with a swoosh of air. Sorra stepped out onto the bridge and took a quick look around. He saw the Captain was in the center seat looking through his reports. He walked around the aft standing consoles and came to stand to the side of the Captain’s Chair. “Ensign Narssu reporting with the data we’ve collected from the probe.” He held out the PaDD. “I can answer any questions you have about it.” He chirruped deep in his throat, a sort of Saurian ‘At your service.’

-Ens. Narssu, Engineering
