ACTC 0501A - Neyounce

[blaster89]

Commander Rye Fitzpatrick walked quickly through the umbilical port from Starbase Conqueror, onto the USS Hope. He had taken a temporary re-assignment from his duties onboard the Tiger-Shark so that he could take additional training in the command field. Since his introduction into service, he had been an engineer, first serving under Commander Thrawn on the Hanson. He now enjoyed his post on the Tiger-Shark, where he met new challenges every mission, and had made very valuable friends. Rye’s current assignment was to act as the Hope’s First Officer, and then as her commanding officer during two missions. A team of instructors were going to be evaluating he, and a former colleague of his, Commander Tiffani Savali. Rye was looking forward to the mission, and to seeing his friend once again.

Commander Fitzpatrick entered his quarters on Deck 4, and quickly deposited his bags. He then went into the turbolift, and waited as the turbolift brought him to his destination onto the bridge. As the two turbolift doors opened, Rye saw the familiar Galaxy/Nebula bridge surrounding him. He saw several officers at their posts, including a young woman sitting at Ops. As he approached the center of the bridge, where he would sit down, and go over some mission briefing files, the woman rose, and walked over to the new FO.

“Commander Fitzpatrick. I am the Chief Operations Officer, Commander Joanne Merit. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Rye looked up at her for a short moment, and smiled. “Thank you very much, Commander. I look forward to working with you.”

As she sat back down, Rye turned his attention to a briefing PADD. Upon reading the information provided twice over, he got up from his seat, and walked into the briefing room directly off of the bridge.
(=/\=) “Fitzpatrick to Senior Officers and instructors, we will have a briefing on the mission at hand in the Observation Lounge in 10 minutes. Please be prompt.” (=/\=)
Rye went over to the replicator, and got himself a large glass of ice water. He sat back down, and awaited the instructors to enter the lounge.

About 7 minutes later, all of the instructors were accounted for and present in the meeting. Rye began his lecture. “Good morning, everyone, I am Commander Fitzpatrick, and I will be serving as Executive Officer on this first mission. I am anxiously awaiting a chance at meeting each of you, and developing a strong working relationship.” Rye paused for a moment, sipped his glass of water, and observed each officer’s faces. They all seemed fairly happy, and pleased as of yet. “Our mission is to deliver medical supplies, and make friendly contact with the people on the planet Neyounce. The planet is about 30 light-years away in the Argolis Cluster. We are going to be sending an away team down with the supplies, to help facilitate talks between the Federation, and the Neyouncians. We shall depart Conqueror at 0700 tomorrow, and we should arrive in about 6 days. We will get further details on Away Team personnel in a when we are closer to the destination. Any questions? No? Good. In the mean time, I’d like Lieutenant Commander Sh’riss to oversee a series of battle drills. Although we do not anticipate any trouble, I’d like to be fully prepared for any encounters. Dismissed.”

Rye watched as the instructors left the meeting, and returned to their duty stations. He then went to his quarters, so that he could get an early start to the next day.

So we'll be starting on this thread then?

By the way I ve been looking at some of the others bios on the site and wondered how I could make mine as appealing - is it okay to just make up stuff like service history.

[Deleted]

The Commander stated that it will be on this thread yes.

As for bios you should never make up service history = that is just plain dishonest and if anything in your bio is untrue I suggest you ammend it and apologise.

Kuragh entered the briefing room and sat down to hear what information about the mission command was going to release. AFter the briefing was over he went to the bridge and took his station.

"Kuragh ready and awaiting orders", he growled

Shris regarded his new CO and FO a moment and then grinned. This sounded like an interesting misison. He quickly went to the Tac station and ran full diagnostic. He followed that up with creating a completly new tactical manouver and programming the computer to do it.
Feeling the Hope was as ready as possible he went off to the holdeck. there he ordered the safeties to be taken off and ran a rigourous programme of workouts and combat exercises. The programme was set in the klingon high council and had 14 klingon warriors of the order of the battleth. He fought them hand to hand with an ancient andorian weapon. Afte ten minutes he had bested most of them and decied tomake it more interesting. He switched of the safeties and and finsihed off the remaining six without a scratch. Begin to tire he decided to retrun to his quarters and wait until the arrived.

Jonathon sat nervously in the briefing trying to take it all in. He listened to the XO and made the occasional notes on his PaDD.
"Where are the medical supplies sir? I really should check them over"

And Im sorry about the bio thing I havent lied in my bio I m new to this and wasnt sure. I just saw in some peoples they had put about being on ships before they joined. I didnt want to do anything wrong.

Klingon warriors are not beaten that easily. Remove that part of your post - it is absurd and insulting.

*Tiffani sit at the head of the long table that had room for four officers on either side and one at each end if need be, she was honored to be taking the Advanced Command Training course and knew that this mission would be most interesting, she had detoured from the victory before their current mission long enough to take the training she needed to do her job effectively, she observed the Acting First officer as he commenced the meeting, he was certainly effective, but being an old crewmate of his, she was surpised he was able to give out orders so easily as though he belonged in the Captain's seat, she listened as he begin telling them about the mission, waiting for an opening to speak*

*finnally her time came and before everyone left she addressed them* I just want to let you all know i know you have it in you to do well on this mission. This is a new species we are meeting. So make the Federation proud and show them that the Uss Hope can deal with new species better then anyone. Dismissed *she smiled and leaned back in the chair as they all started departing, wanting to sit and think a little on the mission before she took to the Captain's chair*

Jonathon moved to the new election Microscopp ad loaded a new slide fo tissue samples.
He stared down at the mass of cels whilst he waited for the inventory of supplies and what was wrong with het
Neyouncians.
Then he realied he ought to do medicals on thestaff
"Williams to all staff please repott for physicals when availnle. Williams out"

[Deleted]

Getting bored of waiting Shris returned to the holodeck and fought another 20 klingons on a medium difficulty setting. Getting bored of killing them so easily he had a thought about the mission and went to the bridge.
"Captain" he annouced as he entered
Capatin Rylka turned round,
"Yes Shris?"
"I was hoping you could tell me more about the planet we are going - is there any chance they could be hostile?"

Kuragh sat at the conn. He pressed the controls to pull the Hope out of Warp.
"We have arrived." he announced to the bridge crew.

Joanne spent a little time in her quarters before receiving the message from the doctor. She rose and put aside her book, "The Taming of teh Shrew" by Shakespeare. She pulled onher tunic and left her quarters.

Sickbay was unusally busy for this time of day, many of the crew seem to have decided to have their physicals all at the same time. Nursing staff dashed between them, checking people and taking samples,
"Ah hello" Dr Williams greeted timidly,
"Doctor" she acknowdeged with a curt nod, "I understand you want to do a physical."
"yes as a new CMO I thought it best. Please take a seat."
"Thankyou."
"So are you in good health?"
"yes I think so"
"any problems" Jonathon asked running a tricorder over her, "This is my first posting you know"
"I do yes. You ll soon get in to the swing of things. If not you ll soon be kicked off."
"Kicked off!"
"I wouldnt worry, do your job well and you ll be fine."
"I ll try."
"As someone great once said there is no try only do."
"I see." Jonathon replied nerously and decided to change the subject, "Do you know anything more about this mission?"
"Not really, it should just be a milk run. How hard can it be to deliver some medical supplies."
"I hope I m up to it"
"So do I"
"Right... well you seem fine. I ll need to see you again in 6 months."
"Very well Doctor and pleased to meet you" She replied and left.
Deciding it best she did some research on the planet she went to the bridge.

<TAG bridge crew.>

[tiffani]

"I was hoping you could tell me more about the planet we are going - is there any chance they could be hostile?"

*Tiffani turned to face Zaksh when he asked her a question* It's possible yes *she nodded* we don't know
much about the planet. As far as i'm aware they aren't even a member of the federation Alliance, we are merely
helping them out in hopes of getting them to join *she said with a smile*

<tag Zaksh'riszehn>

*Tiffani nodded to Commander Joanne as she entered the bridge turning her head back to the center
area of the bridge as kuragh informed them of arrival*

"we have arrived" replied kuragh

Very good, *commented Tiffani* Please Contact Neyounce communication control and inform
them of are arrival and request transport designations.

<tag Kuragh>

*Tiffani tapped her comm badge" =/\= Bridge to sickback, We have just arrived at neyounce, please
meet us in transporter room 3 in 10 minutes for transport, bridge out=/\=

<tag Sickbay>


*Tiffani then turned to Commander Fitzpatrick* Gather an away team to assist the
the medical staff with the transfer, if at all possible also gather as much information about
the planet as you can. so atleast we have something to tell starfleet*

<tag Fitzpatrick*

I'll be in my ready room if you need me You have the bridge *she replied to Fitzpatrick as she turned and headed
to her ready room to review over some information*

[Deleted]

Jonathon heard the call and quickly grabbed a medical tricorder. Gathering a couple of nurses he sent them to teh cargo bay to prepare the supplies for transport whilst he himslef made his way to Transporter Room 3. He was nervous this was his first away mission what was he to expect at least it seemed routine - just deliver the supplies and leave.
He arrived at the Transporter to find he was the first there and so began to chat with the transporter operator whilst he waited.

[Deleted]

“It's possible yes,” she nodded, “we don't know much about the planet. As far as I'm aware they aren't even a member of the Federation, we are merely helping them out in hopes of getting them to join.” Captain Rylka commented, with a smile at the andorian tactical officer.

Zaksh'riszehn nodded at her. “I will prepare the ship for any possible hostilities.” As the Captain turned to acknowledge other member’s of the bridge crew, the andorian muttered quietly. “Not that we should be helping these worthless people anyway.”

When they arrived at the planet, Fitzpatrick wisely chose Zaksh'riszehn as part of the away team, and the andorian armed himself up. On his belt he wore a holstered type II phaser, a set of knives, both throwing and fighting. Over his shoulder was hoisted a phaser rifle, and he had another pair of knives on the side of his left boot. He grabbed a set of emergency transport devices in case they found themselves in trouble. Feeling prepared, he then met up with the rest of the away team. He was somewhat sickened to notice that none of the medical staff were armed at all, and the first officer had only seen fit to take a type I phaser with him. He shook his head, words were obviously needed with the command pair in future.

As they had all been waiting for Zaksh'riszehn, on his arrival they finished any small talk, and moved to the transporter pads. Zaksh'riszehn positioned himself on one, as part of the initial team beaming down, in case of any trouble. He found himself next to the Chief Medical Officer, a man that Zaksh'riszehn had never really spoken to, but someone who seemed slightly, well, poncy to the andorian. He gave the human a small sneer, and then focused his gaze ahead, waiting for the planet to replace the transporter room in his view.

In a haze of trapsorter beam the away team appeared in a large concourse. People were busying around all about them.
Some looked ill and others not so. Jonathin quiklcy pulled out his tricorder and began scanning.
"A lot of these people have a high fever and are very malnuousihed."
"I see" Commander Fitzpatrick, "Lets find our contact" he stped a man wlaking bye. "Where is Medical Dircorer Constance."
"That way" the man pointed,
the awya team follwod the directions to a round desk.
"Ah gentlebeings you must be from the federation, things are hectic they may retunr any moment. Dr Constance is up stairs, please go right up."

[Deleted]

Before anyone else could attempt to climb the stairs, Zaksh' riszehn put a hand out.

"I had better lead. Who knows what kind of trap this could be."

Their host fired him a hostile look, but nobody said anything, and they let the large andorian lead the way. He noticed that behind him, Williams was looking somewhat scared. 'Let him, it might do him some good.' Zaksh' riszehn thought with a small mental laugh.

However, they climbed the stairs and met Dr Constance without incident. Somewhat disappointed, Zaksh' riszehn stood to one side and let the away team through to speak with him. However, he didn't let his guard down. Constantly, his gaze was sweeping the room, and his finger remained alert and ready on the trigger.

Joanne remained at Ops whilst the away team departed. She monitored sensors carefully and ran scans of the system regularly.
She was just preparing a diagnostic of the ventral sensor pallet when something caught her eye.
She quickly amplified the signals and peered closer.
"Captain. I am picking up multiple warp signatures."
Tiffani rose and walked over,
"Identity?"
"Unknown"
"Course?"
"Directly here. Theres at least 4 ships roughly the same size as us."

TAG anyone

[tiffani]

*Tiffani frowned slightly*

*then turned to security* move us to yellow alert and be prepared for anything. we don't know whatsheaded this way

<Tag security and anyone else who has input*

[Deleted]

Joanne watched as the ships exited warp and surrounded the Hope.
"We are recieving a hail Captain"
"On screen"
"This is Dominar Talka leave this planet now. It is in our Dominion. None may services its people but us."
"We are on a mission on mercy to deliver medical supplies."
"That is not allowed. Stand down and leave. They are being punished the medical supllies are not needed."
"We have people down there. We need to retrieve them"
"Negative - they will now be contaminated. Leave now"
The screen blinked out.
"Contact the away team" Rylka ordered "Tell them to prepare to..."
She was interrupted as the ship was rocked by a huge blast and then another.
"Damage to decks 1, 2 and 3, Transporters are off line." Joanne reported "And they are coming around for abother pass. Captain what do we do?"

[tiffani]

Red alert *replied tiffani*arm phasers and have Torpedos on standby

fire a warning shot within close proximity to the main ship *she bellowed*and attempt to contact the away team and let them know were under attack and will be back for them. *she ordered*

<Tag ops>

*she turned to the navigations officer* move us away enough to where we aren't within range of their territor as soon as the warning shot is fired, will fall back and regroup their.

<tag navigations officer>

Rye sat in the First Officer’s seat and watched the ship drop out of warp into the Neyounce system. Rye felt a slight stutter as the ship slowed to impulse, and checked the inertial damping system, and recalibrated the dampers. He watched as Captain Rylka commanded the helm to slowly move into orbit around the planet Neyounce.
“Gather an away team to assist the medical staff with the transfer, if at all possible also gather as much information about the planet as you can, so at least we have something to tell Starfleet.”
“Aye, mamn.”
Rye stood up, and looked around.
“Williams, Shris, and Kuragh, come with me down to the planet.”
Rye stepped into the turbolift with Jon and Sh’ris, and headed towards the transporter room. As they heard the turbolift begin to move, Rye realized he’d better change into his dress uniform, so he called for the turbolift to adjust its destination to Deck 4. He notified the others of his idea, and they agreed to do the same.
(=/\=) “Fitzpatrick to Kuragh. The three of us are going to put on our dress uniforms for the occasion. I suggest that you do the same. We will meet in the Transporter Room in 5 minutes. Fitzpatrick out.” (=/\=)
Rye got off on his deck, and ran into his quarters. He undressed, and put on his white dress uniform, then he rushed out of his quarters, and went into the turbolift to the Transporter Room. Rye arrived into the transporter room, and saw Jon standing there having a chat with the transporter chief. Rye quietly walked onto the transporter pad as the two others stepped into room. The four of them assembled in the transporter chamber, and the chief beamed them down to the planet. The officers materialized down on the planet, and saw a large number of people moving about. It appeared to be a marketplace of some sort. The population appeared to be ill, and malnourished, as another officer stated.

OFF – I shall finish this post tomorrow.

I m confused arent we already on the planet?

OC: Its called backposting dolt. And when speaking out of character in a sim it is courtesy to put OC or OOC before it.

IC:

Joanne serveyed the damage and watched as the Tac officer fired the warning shots. The Shots seemed to be ignored as another wave of blasts shook the hope.
"Shields are down to 20%" she reported,
"pull us away." Rylka ordered,
"What about the away team"
"We wont be able to rescue them if we are scattered all of the system wee nedd to think about this. Signal the lead ship that we are withdrawing.
Helm take us out of the system and then hold position."
Kuragh nodded.
Joanne looked at the Captain and nodded, whilst she might not agree with abandoning the away team it was the most sensible course of action.
"I ll take a look at the damage" she suggested.
