Hello Everyone,

I think we’re almost done with the sim, but I get the sense that we might be a little bit confused about where we are or what we could be doing, and that might be holding us back a bit. Avik, Drake, and Abrams are on the Away Team on the planet surface. Everyone else is on the ship, but I don’t know that we know where everyone else is or what they’re doing.

Dvorak is on the Bridge with a pile of dying NEs that seems likely to get larger. We could probably use some other people here, as the situation seems to be getting worse rather than better. Maybe we could have Marsh, Zorell, Nox, and Mike’s night doctor Lazarus show up here? As far as I see it, we need one scientist to man the sensors (because we don’t have contact with the Away Team and a space battle could start at any moment), and then at least one other scientist to help look for the intruder who disappeared into thin air. If there’s going to be any useful application of telepathy on the ship, it’ll probably be on the Bridge, and someone needs to start cleaning up the pile of dead and wounded people.

Sullivan was dealing with the coolant problem, which now seems to be dealt with in its own way. She might have more to do there given that the whole thing has been beamed out into space. Or… not. I dunno. Chris can clarify that, I imagine.

But, that should give everyone something to do in the Main Sim. Let’s try to wrap this thing up, since we seem to be close.

You have communications with the away team, just can’t transport them....yet. There are ways to get around the transport block, but I’ll let you figure that out.

There is an intruder on the ship who has disappeared into thin air. How and where did he go has yet to be figured out. Maybe science and engineering can get together to solve that problem. Besides, now that he has outed himself, he may try and cause more problems.

There are two seriously wounded NE’s on the bridge who need attending too. As well as damage to various consoles.

The away team has found the human, but he is badly wounded and needs immediate medical attention, or he will die. But who killed him and why. What does it have to do with the graveyard and the camping area with the traps around it?

It’s all coming together now.

As far as I know, there has been no yellow or red alert. No one has called on Siennadye so she is in her office? I am open to options.

You need to read the main sim more closely then; I explicitly declared a Red Alert a few weeks ago because I am assuming we’re about to be attacked at any moment.

Weapons fire on the bridge would initiate an automatic red alert, wouldn’t it? Either way, I’ll have Vora hop in there too since she’s on the same deck.

The communication with the away team (which was not evident initially) was never carried over to the bridge once it was confirmed it was going through, so the bridge never heard that the away team was checking in. I think that is where that part of the confusion is right now.

Yes, it was unclear from the scenario description if we had communications or not; Janice asked me whether or not we did, and I believed that the answer was “No” but I didn’t know, so I told her to ask Christopher about it. I was under the impression that Janice and Christopher discussed this on one level or another; correct me if I am wrong, but she didn’t cross-post because she didn’t know if he was going to interfere or not. Because there has been no cross post, I have been assuming that whatever NE answered the call in the Away Team thread is not actually a character on the Bridge, because

1. The description of the NE who answered doesn’t match any character previously described on the Bridge.
2. The NE who answered hasn’t done any thing on the Bridge thread.
3. There’s no cross post for my character to respond to.

… so I am playing things as if there is no communication with the Away Team at all. If that’s completely incorrect, then that needs to be rectified with clearer writing in character.
