Soon Jason and the others were standing on the transporter pads, the slimmer members of the away team sharing a pad. =^=Harn, to bridge. We’re beaming over to the Dragoon.=^=

Jason Harn, XO

OOC: Remember there is a message from the surface of the planet that the CAG received from a SF combadge asking for immediate help and that someone was about to find them. Now I am not 100% sure but I cannot find where the pilots passed that on to us. So I am going to look into that as it will clearly alter some of your actions.

Sidney

OOC: We haven’t been informed about the message from the surface of the planet. It’s a good thing that Harn called the bridge before the team beamed off the ship so Sidney can update him. This is why you always tell your captain where you’re going before you leave the ship. ;)

Jason Harn, XO

OOC: Now that Terry is back, that thread should get active again.

Kenson

COS Ch’zaolrirh

OOC: I was intending for the skipper to call the transporter room and instruct us to investigate the voice calling for help from the planet’s surface BEFORE we beamed over to the Dragoon, but Sidney seems to be checking in late. Oh well, there’s no reason why we can’t have a quick look around the derelict starship and verify that it is indeed abandoned before beaming down to the planet. Who knows? We may even get a chance to play a chilling “Final log” where we watch an image of the Dragoon’s CO facing his own real life Koboyashi Maru situation.

Jason Harn, XO

=^=Harn I’m clear your beaming over to the ship. We just received an update from Ric. They are close enough to receive a weak com badge call from help. The signal is weak but we have the coordinates. Apparently a crew member is hiding from unknown subjects but fears discovery at any minute. Check the Dragoon or split your team. We need to check on that person. Rics squad is flying to that location now to get in closer.=^=

Came the Captains voice over the Xo’s com

Parker CO

=^=Aye-aye sir. We’re beaming over to the Dragoon now.=^= he glanced over to the chief petty officer manning the transporter console. “Energize Mister O’Connell.”
The transporter room vanished in a shower of sparks to be replaced by the transporter room aboard the USS Dragoon.

Kolar withdrew his tricorder with the speed of master quick draw. He began scanning as he started materializing. “Scanning.” He reported without being requested.

Balfor CSO

Jason glanced around the old fashioned way as he stepped off the transporter pad and walked over to the unmanned console to check to see if there was any power. “It looks like Ric is going to be handling the extraction, but does anybody think we should put boots on the ground first? We don’t know how long it will take his pilots to find a landing site.”

OOC: Sidney’s instructions sounded like we’re going to be checking out the Dragoon while Ric and Ael land on the planet. Does anybody want to go back them up?

It took only a second before they realised how cold it was and how hard it was to breathe. Harn could not turn on the console: either power reached total depletion state, or the ship’s power went offline. Tricorders showed that there was no one in the immediate vicinity. Neither were there corpses. There was no evidence of weapons being discharged. what was very clear in the scans was that the ship was hit with microwaves. Their shields would have been down when it happened.

They were on Deck 10, one deck above main engineering.

GM
“We’re clear.” Kolar said with a cough. “No bio signs living or dead within range. Residual radiation suggests that the ship was hit at least once by the mircowave weapon with her shields down.”

“It appears that Engineering is a deck below us, Commander.” The Counselor stated. Trevor holstered his tricorder and rubbed his hands together in order to feel warm. “Did the crew just give up without a fight?” The Lieutenant asked, thinking out loud.

CNS

“It also appears that life support has been deactivated a long time,” Jason grimaced. =^=Harn to Olinski: the away team is going to need a set of oxygen masks and some cold weather clothing if we’re expected to function here. It looks like the ship has almost no power at all on this deck.=^=

Jason Harn, XO

The Andorian thought the temperature was actually quite comfortable, although the air was a little too thin for his liking. He tried to steady his breathing as his antannae listened in for the usual vibrations he picked up aboard a starship. As suspected, things were too quiet.

He added to the conversation: “Commander, I think we should check the security logs and the armory. I’d like to know if anyone left this ship armed.”

COS Ch’zaolrirh

About then the requested items from the Olinksi were beamed over to their coordinates.

Sidney

“I’d like to go to the bridge to check the senors and the captain logs.” Kolar suggested unhelpfully, lets all separate, it will be much easier to over-power us.

Balfor Kolar CSO

“I think that the first thing we sh-should do is find a way to restore power,” Jason shivered testily as he put an oxygen mask over his face and unfolded a set cold weather clothing. “I don’t think the sensors or the logs will tell us ANYTHING before we do.” The lightweight, adjustable bodysuit came with a hood, goggles, and a lower face cover. Each suit came with a power cell smaller than a human fingernail that powered the heating elements that could maintain a stable body temperature down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit (or -29 degrees Celsius). He sat down on the step to the transporter and removed his shoes before standing up and climbing into the cold weather suit. “Mister Gould, feel free to call the shots until we get life support back on. Where do we go from here?”

Jason Harn, XO, giving someone else on the team a chance to lead for once

Michael thought for a moment. “We go down to engineering and turn on main power. From the looks of things, there wasn’t a struggle. Everything looks intact. So it must be possible to reboot all the systems.” He led the way to a jeffries tube. “It looks like either a total systems shutdown or a complete power failure. I’m guessing option A. I can’t imagine a way a blunt force hit with microwaves-” He started trying to force open the door. “-could be targeted enough to specifically hit one system. Upside is: either way, all we have to do is get the power back on.” He finally lifted the door. “Less than glamorous way to get around. But it doesn’t require any power. Follow me.” He climbed in. He felt like an Ensign again, climbing through the jeffries tubes to get around.

When they were finally a deck below, he pushed through into Main Engineering. He made a beeline for the warp core. He had to get the reactor started. He went over to a console and looked for some way to make his tricorder into a short term battery for one console.
