<Katrina`> Session 55: Katrina - While You Were Sleeping
<Katrina`> Time Chart: July 10th, 2222 (5 days since Shiva's Session 53)
<Katrina`> Location: Aquarius, Deep Space
* Katrina` is still in Med Bay, with no change in her condition.
* Thedda sits in her chair on the bridge, smoking a cigarette.
<Katrina`> GM: *The bridge is a mess with Ensign 1 taking the science station and the others doing their jobs. With the Captain not around, still taking her week long nap, chaos has broken out, with only Thedda in charge*
<Thedda> NRP: awww crap. :P
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Commander, it seems the cafeteria has run out of meat again. They're wanting to know when the next food supply ship is coming in
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: Commander, the controls feel sluggish. What should we do?
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: I'm picking up lifesigns!
<Katrina`> Ensign 5: Commander, the weapons console is making weird sounds
* Shiva` sits down in the Hanger Bay like usual
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: Nevermind, it's us I'm detecting.
* Thedda rubs her forehead and she looks at all the chaos.. "I can't bloody understand how everything falls apart after -- ... the food supply? Next week.. The controls? I dunno, Lifesigns? Check them out. Weird noises? Put on music.
<Katrina`> Ensign 6: The engineers are wanting more money for their job, Commander.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: They say they want meat now, Commander.
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: The controls!
<Katrina`> Ensign 6: Music?
<Thedda> ... OH MY GOD EVERYBODY SHUT UP!
<Katrina`> GM: *everyoen shuts up immediately and they look at Thedda with wide eyes*
*** Sherinmir is now known as Sherin-Gone
<Katrina`> GM: *Ensign 1's console beeps in protest. He slaps it*
<Thedda> ... I don't do payroll 6, I can't control the meat shipments 3, we'll get food as soon as we can. Get Shiva up here for those controls then, and might as well bright Shiva up here for the weird noises too.
<Sherin-Gone> <Cardinal> *sleeps on*
<Katrina`> Skippy: I'll page Shiva. *alerts Shiva through the nearest terminal that Commander Thedda requests her presence*
* Shiva` is awoken by her the page
<Shiva`> ....Huh?
<Thedda> Thank you Skippy.
<Katrina`> Skippy: Just don't hurt me!
* Thedda stands up and paces back and forth, wondering to herself how Captain can do this everyday.
<Thedda> I won't Skippy.
<Thedda> NRP: BRB!
<Shiva`> Skippy what do you want?
<Katrina`> Ensign 6: I guess it would be a bad time to mention a fire broke out near Med Bay...
<Katrina`> Skippy: Commander Thedda wants you on the bridge.
<Thedda> NRP: Back!
<Thedda> ...Yes 6, you're right.
<Katrina`> Ensign 6: Okay, then I won't mention the fire that's currently burning.
<Shiva`> *stands up and starts wakling towards teh elevator*
<Thedda> Hey Shiva.. I was wondering if you could check out the controls for them.. Since i know little about how this machine works.
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: Damn these lifesign readings.
<Katrina`> NRP: Shiva's not on the bridge yet. :P
<Thedda> NRP: Whoops, sorry. =P
<Thedda> NRP: cut that then. :P lol
<Katrina`> Ensign 6: *watches his monitors, showing the fire spreading*
* Shiva` steps onto the elevator and makes her way upto the bridge
<Thedda> Skippy, do you want to get some people up to the Medbay to clear that fire?
<Thedda> ..... *pauses* KAT!
<Katrina`> Skippy: Do *I* want to? You have a communicator...and --- and what about Kat?
<Thedda> She's in the MedBay isn't she??
<Katrina`> Skippy: Well, yes.
<Thedda> And the fire's near the medbay right?
<Katrina`> Cipher: *chews on the Captain's chair*
<Katrina`> Skippy: Yees---oh, wait, I see what you mean.
* Thedda springs towards the elevator.
<Katrina`> Skippy: You might want to look out for Shi---*Watches the two collide on his computer sensors*
* Shiva` crash's into her and stumbles back
<Shiva`> .....
* Thedda stumbles backwards
<Katrina`> Skippy: The life of a computer...*sigh
<Thedda> Fire near the MedBay, and Kat there. *jumps into the Elevator*
<Shiva`> .....
<Shiva`> *turns and steps back onto the elevator*
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: Hey, Shiva, can you fix my controls?
<Shiva`> .....*looks at Thedda*
* Thedda zooms to the MedBay.
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: ... *eyes the elevator leaving* Fine!
<Thedda> ... Yes, I give you full rights to bitch me out about this later.
<Katrina`> GM: *the floor of the Med Bay looks calm --- except for the people screaming and running away from further down the hall*
<Shiva`> Skippy...Can you access the Emergency Fire Safety's?
<Shiva`> *looks at her* It's a shame you think I'd do that.
<Katrina`> Skippy: There's hoses on the wall. It has to be done by humans.
<Thedda> You know you will.. *sprints down the hall looking for said hoses*
* Thedda also looks for this fire, she has yet to see
<Katrina`> GM: *Thedda almost runs right into a blazing fire. The hoses are just a little ways into the fire, being blocked off. The Med Bay, so far, is safe*
<Shiva`> .....*ignores her and springs twoards teh fire*
<Thedda> ....!!! *haults and falls back a few steps.* Hrmm... *she pulls out her whip and attempts to have her whip wrap around the hose and pull it back*
<Katrina`> GM: *Thedda succeeds*
* Shiva` 's hands glow blue as she sends an Ice Blast directly by Thedda and into the fire, aiming at the floor infront of it and working her way back*
* Thedda grasps the house. She now realizes she has to turn it on.
<Katrina`> GM: *the on switch is back by the wall where the hose comes from*
* Thedda whips at the switch to flick it up.
<Katrina`> GM: *she succeeds. Water gushes out of the hose*
* Thedda holds it as tight as she can, and aim at the center of the fire.
<Thedda> *aims
* Shiva` advances forward as she continues to send freezing ice along the walls and the floor
<Katrina`> GM: *With the ice blasts from Shiva and the water from Thedda, the fire begins to die and lose ground*
* Thedda walks forward slowly. She feels the sweat begin to flow down her face.
<Katrina`> GM: *The fire is defeated. But it will have it's revenge, one day*
<Shiva`> Skippy, is the fire out?
<Thedda> NRP: *lol*
<Katrina`> GM: *the hallway is now blackened*
<Katrina`> Skippy: Yes, ma'am.
<Thedda> .. Dear god... *sighs heavily*
<Thedda> I'm going to have to find out how THAT started...
<Shiva`> Skippy, any idea how the fire started?
<Katrina`> Skippy: I'll have Scrap's security team look into it for you two, as soon as they finish training --- oh dear.
<Thedda> ... What Skippy?
<Katrina`> Skippy: A bar fight has broken out in the bar. It seems to be pretty bad.
<Shiva`> ....
* Thedda licks her lips.. ".... " She looks at Shiva.
<Thedda> Guess that's our cue.
<Shiva`> ....Spose..
<Katrina`> zzzz
* Thedda turns around and races to the door.
*** Thedda has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Katrina`> NRP: Wrong door, I guess.
<Katrina`> GM: *Thedda and Shiva get on the elevator and head to the floor with the bar. They get off the elevator and the sounds of fighting become apparant immediately*
<Shiva`> ....Cute
<Katrina`> GM: *someone flies out of the bar and slams against the wall. He slides down, unconscious*
* Shiva` watches, her face not changing expressions
*** Thedda has joined #taw
<Katrina`> GM: *sounds of bottles smashing and chairs hitting walls continue inside the bar. Though the two cannot see it from their position in the hallway*
* Shiva` begins walking towards the Bar
<Thedda> .. Lets hope we don't get hit. *walks beside Shiva*
<Shiva`> I'm hoping to get hit....
<Thedda> .... *raises an eyebrow at Shiva's comment, but doesn't say anything*
* Shiva` walks inside the bar and looks around
<Katrina`> GM: *inside the bar 40 people are fighting. All of them seem to be intent on beating the hell out of the other, using various weapons such as broken bottles, chairs, tables, the bartender, and unconscious bodies - whatever will work in knocking the shit out of each other.*
* Thedda looks about the Bar.. "What the hell is going on here??"
<Katrina`> GM: *no one answers. They just keep beating the hell out of each other. Someone gets thrown up into the air and lands on a table, shattering it*
<Shiva`> ....*cross's her arms*
* Thedda slaps her forehead, and goes in to attempt to stop it
<Katrina`> GM: *the second Thedda walks in too far, she gets swept up in the mess. People begin to throw her around*
<Thedda> AAACK!!!!
* Thedda is thrown around!!
<Katrina`> GM: *someone swings Thedda into their opponent. Of course, no one cares that her clothes get all banged up in the scuffle*
<Thedda> PUT ME THE FUCK DOWN NOW!!!
<Katrina`> GM: *no one listens. She gets tackled, hard, onto the floor by a few people falling*]
<Shiva`> Skippy, any idea on how to stop this fight?
* Thedda as she is landed on she can feel her knifes on her belt being pushed into her stomach.
<Katrina`> Skippy: Uh...none!
<Shiva`> Sprinkler system?
<Katrina`> Skippy: ...Maybe a gun shot would work.
<Katrina`> GM: *someone cops a feel on Thedda before going back to beating up the nearest drunk*
* Thedda grabs the guys hand and twists it.
<Katrina`> Drunk: AAIEEE
* Shiva` holds her hand into the air and fires an ice blast into the crowd, spreading it out in an attempt to cool down the entire room
<Thedda> TOUCH YOUR COMMANDOR LIKE THAT AGAIN AND ILL DO MORE THEN JUST SPRAIN YOUR WRIST
<Katrina`> GM: *they keep fighting --- and fighting...and..they kinda shiver, but still fight...getting really kinda cold now...but they keep--punching...now they're holding each other for warmth*
* Shiva` looks tired
* Shiva` stops firing the ice blast
* Thedda stumbles to her feet and begins to walk over to Shiva.
<Katrina`> GM: *everyone rolls up in little balls and goes to sleep, like good drunks*
* Thedda rubs her forehead and looks at the sleeping drunks. "Well, we might as well wait for the next event."
<Shiva`> Anything else?
<Katrina`> Skippy: Uh, Commander, we have a situation up here on the bridge.
<Thedda> What is it now Skippy?
<Katrina`> Skippy: We've just come in contact with an unknown alien spaceship. It's approaching us.
<Thedda> Alright, I'll be up in a second.
* Thedda walks out of the bar and towards the elevator. "Well, lets hope this doesn't get too out of hand..."
<Shiva`> ...*follows behind*
* Thedda steps onto the elevator, waiting for Shiva.
<Thedda> *and waits*
<TAW> GM: *Shiva steps on*
* Thedda zooms up to the Bridge and walks off. "What's up?"
<Katrina`> GM: *the scene on the bridge is Chaos. Ensign 2 is complaining about his controls being sluggish, Ensign 5 complains about the fact they need to warm their weapons, Ensign 1 curses Kat for picking today to be asleep since he doesn't understand this damn science station, Ensign 3 is muttering about communication having a buzz in it, and Ensign 6 stands there, looking worried*
<Katrina`> (arm)
<Katrina`> GM: *on the viewscreen, a greenish grip, about half the size of the Aquarius, but a bit wider, approaches them*
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: They're scanning us, Commander.
<Katrina`> Ensign 5: And their gun ports are opened.
<Thedda> Connect with them.... See if they'll respond.
* Shiva` looks around
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Our communications are buzzing bad, Commander.
* Thedda sighs. "Shiva, can you take a look at those for them please?"
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: They're getting closer, Commander. They are in firing range, if that's their intent.
<Katrina`> Ensign 5: Well, their gun ports ARE open.
<Thedda> Get our weapons ready then, just in case.
<Katrina`> Ensign 5: Going into red alert. Weapons armed and shields are up.
<Shiva`> .....*shaeks her head and walks over to the comm station, typing on it"*
<Shiva`> Yellow Alert...
<Shiva`> In my opinion. They might take this as an act of aggression
<Thedda> Shiva, do you want to take over the science station please?
<Katrina`> Ensign 5: We won't have weapons in yellow alert, though.
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: Shiva's not qualified to take over the science station!
<Thedda> And thanks for your input. Okay, go into yellow alert, it's not like it will take us forever to get into red alert if we need it.
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: They're coming to a halt a 1000 meters away.
<Thedda> And she will probably do a better job then you... At least she's calm.
<Katrina`> Ensign 5: ... *brings them down to yellow alert* Shields on, weapons off.
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: Okay, "Commander", you don't put an inexperienced person on a console when they have NO training for it.
* Shiva` tries to get the Comm station back online
<Katrina`> GM: *the comm station boots up*
* Thedda eyes Ensign 1, but quickly puts her focus back on the ship. "I don't recognize the ship... The station up yet?"
<Shiva`> Comm's online.
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: It's of unknown origins. Our scans aren't picking up too much. They seem to be less advanced than us, though.
<Shiva`> Doesn't mean they're weapons aren't. Try to scan for any wierd type of energy signals.
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: Aye. *begins to type*
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Shall I hail them, Commander?
<Thedda> Yes please, Ensign 3.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Hailing now...
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: ... why are they just sitting there with their gunports open?
* Shiva` begins running a self diagnostic scan on all it's systems
<Shiva`> Maybe they don't close.
* Thedda nods. " I'm not sure Ensign 2.. "
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: I'm detecting no weapons being charged.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: I've got a link established, but ... I cannot understand a word they're saying.
<Thedda> Alright, thank you Ensign 1.
<Thedda> Hrmmm... That's no good... I don't speak anything but English unfortunately.
<Thedda> You speak any other languages Shiva?
* Shiva` tries to cross-reference their language with all known languages on the Alliance Database
<Shiva`> Hold on...
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Well, the language doesn't match any the Aquarius is programmed with...
<Thedda> Hrmm.. Odd.
<Shiva`> Send them a message Commander.
<Thedda> Was just thinking that Shiva.
*** Garland has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Garland
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: ... I'm detecting ... I don't know, some sort of energy surge nearby.
<Thedda> Ensign 1, can you set up a video transfer please?
<Shiva`> Pinpoint it Ensign 1.
<Thedda> .... Energy Surge?
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: *begins to jotdown words he's hearing, one of them being "Motenk"*
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: Trying to find it. It could be another ship.
<Shiva`> We don't want any surprises......
<Thedda> Lets hope it's not another one of these.
* Shiva` looks at the shuttle
* Shiva` looks over at Ensign 3
<Shiva`> ......What's that? *points at the word Motenk*
<Katrina`> GM: *suddenly a beam shoots out of of the darkness of space and hits the unknown vessel. Moments later, it explodes before them*
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: They said Mote---*glances at horror at the viewscreen*
<Thedda> !!!!
<Thedda> What the FUCK was that?!
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: I-I don't know! The energy surge is gone now, too!
<Thedda> I want you to find out what that was 1...
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: Hoooooly.
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: Nothing, there's nothing out there!
<Shiva`> *looks up* What in the....Red Alert commander.
<Thedda> .....Sweet jesus... Go into Red Alert.
<Katrina`> Ensign 5: *brings them into red alert.*
<Thedda> .... Heh, beat me to the punch Shiva.
<Shiva`> *quickly begins trying to triangulate the point of origin where the blast came from
<Katrina`> GM: *it was from 700 meters from the Aquarius. Any ship that close, should have been detected, though*
<Thedda> .... Find out where it came from?
<Katrina`> GM: *except for the red alert alarm going off, all if quiet*
<Shiva`> Begin scanning at that location...
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: I've scanned it. There's nothing there.
<Shiva`> What kind of energy blast was that?
<Katrina`> Ensign 1: Unknown.
* Thedda shakes her head.
<Thedda> This is a bit nerve rackign.
<Thedda> *racking
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: ... wonder how we report this one to Command.
<Shiva`> Ensign 3, replay the message that ship sent us.
<Thedda> I don't even want to think about that.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Outloud?
<Thedda> How else would you play it?
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: ... to me ONLY.
* Thedda rolls her eyes.
<Thedda> Just play it.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: *hits the play button. The alien's voice comes over the speakers. It's all weird word and gibberish that cannot be understood.*
<Shiva`> Rewind it...
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: *plays it back*
* Thedda listens to it closely.
<Thedda> Can you slow it down?
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: *slows it down. It's still weird words and gibberish.*
<Thedda> ...Can you play it backwards?
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: *does so. Now it's really weird*
<Shiva`> Did you hear them say Motenks?
<Thedda> ... *ponders*
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Yes, the word Motenks was in there. So?
*** Garland has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Shiva`> ....Uh...don't worry about it.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: What shall I tell Command about this, Commander?
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: I'd pretend it never happened.
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: The Captain would chew us out.
<Thedda> ... Look, I'll tell her.
* Shiva` seems to draw into herself, zoning out from everyoen else
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: We cannot just not tell Command about this! They'll scan the Aquarius' logs!
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: Erase them!
<Thedda> I'm telling her!!!
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Who?
* Thedda rubs her face. "Sorry... Don't mind me, nevermind."
<Katrina`> Skippy: I think she meant the Captain, doofus.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Er...I knew that. Really...
<Katrina`> Ensign 5: Shall I take us out of red alert?
* Thedda ponders.
<Thedda> Yeah, whatever it was, isn't coming back it seems
<Thedda> Hopefully, anyway.
<Katrina`> Ensign 5: *Brings them back to green alert. The alarms finally stop*
<Katrina`> Skippy: It's a miracle the Captain can sleep through that.
<Thedda> Really though
<Katrina`> Ensign 6: Oh, yeah, Commander? The cafeteria is demanding that meat again...
