“Counselor.” She nodded her head, still looking pleasant even as she spoke. “It seems that you have caught us at a rather bad time. Our station is being held hostage and there are severe technical difficulties. I advise patience as we get this figured out.”

As the Captain had the comm line with the unknown figures on mute, Aaron still had the trace running back to try and figure out there current location. He hoped that they didn’t cut the comm line to soon. But with the Liberty here now, perhaps they could run out to the location once determined to help narrow down the freighters location.

Seeing the chaos on the Ops bridge, Chandel stood quietly off to the side as she waited. Her quick, dark eyes watched the movements and orders spread among the crew. It would appear she mused to herself that the station was under some state of unrest.

Counselor Chandel

=/\=Odraavi to Operations, is there any inkling of what’s going on? We still don’t have heating in the halls, and the sickbay is a real swamp right now.=/\=

Dr. Odraavi
CMO

=^= We are still trying to figure it out Doctor. It looks like we’ve got some sort of computer virus, with some pirates claiming that they have taken over control of the Starbase. Do what you can Doc, we’ll let you know as soon as we have some more information. =^=

Aaron turned to look over at the Counselor. “Counselor. I know you just arrived, but perhaps you can head down to sickbay and help keep everyone calm? The last thing we need right now is more people panicking.”

LtCmdr Foley - XO

Chandel nodded curtly. She had carefully listened to the status report so she now had somewhat of an idea of what was going on. “Aye, Commander.” Quickly she strode over to the open lift and ordered it to the Promenade deck.

Counselor Chandel

IC: The two shadowy figures on hold kind of swayed as they watched the muted picture, almost as if humming their own version of on hold music.

GM Wombat

Still with the falsely pleasant expression, Briony looked over at her XO. “Excellent use of the Counselor. I think she will be of great use down in Medical. How goes the trace Lt. Commander Foley? I doubt those two stupid men will continue being pleasant forever. I have a mind to have you take the Trinidad to meet these two on a more personal level. Let me know when you have a location.”

Briony, CO

“Yes Captain. We are still waiting to get a read on their position. But if they see the Trinidad launch, they might spook.”

Tapping a few keys, Aaron looked to see if they had luck narrowing down their position.

LtCmdr Foley - XO

“I don’t want the Trinidad to launch until we get their location.”

The COO’s voice sounded=/\=Rebooting in 30 seconds. Just a warning that there could be a brief fluctuation in our already fluctuating environmental controls and lighting may revert to emergency lights during the reboot.=/\=
OOC: you said I could! lol

Lt. (j.g) Rendana, COO

The scanners have been working as fast as they can to find the shadowy figure’s location but the signal seemed to be bounced around all over the system. They were close though, the signal of the call wasn’t strong enough to be outside of the system.

GM Wombat

OOC: I’d like to have an order of operations here. I know that the trace was called first, but if Avalise does the reboot before the scan has finished, they will cut the search off short. If she waits it will be a couple more minutes.

Hearing Avalise confirming when the reboot was going to happen, she sighed. “I had been hoping we would get their location before the reboot, but that just isn’t going to happen. We will have to wait. If the reboot works, then it is likely finding them will be much faster anyway. When the reboot happens, if lights and such cut out, I want everyone to act surprised and confused. We are going to continue bluffing these idiots until we can’t anymore. Let’s buy some time.”

Briony, CO

After the thirty second count down, the system restarted itself as predicted. Much like in Jurassic Park, the systems all went down then slowly came back up in the order prescribed by the technical manual. The whole reboot process took maybe a minute as each system and subsystem cycled on and off, including communications and long range scanning which broke the trace and the communications link.

GM Wombat

“Comm link and trace interrupted,” Aaron said as the comm channel cut off from the shut down and reboot. As soon as the internal communications reset, he reached up and tapped his commbadge.

=^= Foley to Rendana. How did the reboot go? =^=

LtCmdr Foley XO

=/\=Looking good, Commander. We’re fully switched over to the Secondary Core and I’m just disconnecting the Primary Core. Once we’ve isolated the issues in the Primary, we can switch back, but for now we’re safe to handle essential operations on the Secondary. I would caution you to restrict non-essential systems like holodeck and what not for now though.=/\=

Lt. (j.g) Rendana, COO

Briony felt satisfied that her confidence in Lt. Rendana was rewarded. Systems came up easily on the secondary core. “Don’t engage shields or weapons just yet. I don’t want to spook them. With all systems now online, lets redo the trace and hopefully we will get it much faster. As soon as they are found, let me know.”

Briony, CO

“Yes Captain.”

=^= Keep us informed Lieutenant. We’ll keep the non-essential systems powered down for now, and we are going to keep the weapons and shields powered down for now. =^=

With in a couple of minutes the sinister duo “called back”, the blinking light on coms having been activated once more.

GM Wombat

“Captain, they are hailing us. I’m starting the trace, do you want to continue your discussions? Keeping them on the line will speed up triangulating their location.”

LtCmdr Foley - XO
