[USS Chimera] Re: LOA

As of now I am on LOA.
I have asked Rojac to give me a month.
I'm sorry if it disrupts anything but the plot is almost
ended. Bren has said he will try to log a science log so
that might well bring a solution to the demins.

I think its only fair to explain my reason which has nothing
to do with RL.

I no longer have the desire to log on Unity / Chimera and
will not visit the channel.
I am also asking for LOA from ISD even though I know that
will cause problems in Mumas absence.
For various reasons that I will not go into now, I feel a
huge sense of being let down and also of being out of step
with the rest of the world.
Rojac knows the background to this and I give my permission
for him to tell anyone who wants to know with references to
convos too if he wants.

1. Commanding Officer's Message:

Greetings Chimerans,

Good week crew. You all make your Captain proud.

Excellent week guys! I was worried about this plot not taking off as I'd planned, but you all came to my rescue this week. Let's keep this momentum going and ride the wave home. A lot has happened this week plot-wise; which makes me sorry for whoever has to do the summary.

I have closed the questionnaire and have published the results. If you did not have a chance to fill it out please remember that you do not need a form to fill out to tell us what you think. Ixus and I can both be reached by e-mail 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We'll get back with answers within 24 hours guaranteed. If you would like to see the results, they can be viewed here.

Summaries

by Ixus

This week on the Chimera...

Unity's senior staff come up with an initial plan of action for dealing with the outbreak on Aeren III and potentially for Unity too.  Cortez heads planetside and meets a civilian Doctor and one of the stationed marines when the missing medics are located.  Upon arriving at the location Cortez finds the marine patrol butchered and is attacked by an infected.  Trent brings his retained aide up to speed.  After racing back to the hospital Cortez obtains a blood sample from an infected and seizes the research files of the civilian Doctor, he returns to Unity to be greeted by a wall of marines in CBRN Gear.  Reese rescues Dior from the rubble in the bombed facility but all is not well.  Trent and Chisulo order Unity's Valkyries onto Alert and order patrols to ensure the quarantine of Aeren III with the heavy backup of the USS Magellan, USS Quasar and USS Qashqai.  Rangi visits Cortez in Quarantine and after a squabble he confides about the blood sample hidden in his confiscated clothing.  Chisulo's staff detect a possible blockade runner ship from Aeren III and an intercept is ordered.  Cortez tests negative but outbreaks are spreading on Unity,  the culprit is discovered not as a virus but as the sinister Wire Demons.  The Secretary of Defence arrives at Cheyenne mountain to be greeted by MGen. Jack O'Neill...sadly Samantha Carter is nowhere to be seen.  Dior takes a turn for the worse during treatment and almost bleeds out.  The Federation Council is in the middle of a vote on TechEx as they are evacuated under Op Tandra but continue the vote upon arrival at the evac site...the ayes look like they have it!  Reese, Kroitzer and Castillo prepare to look for a rumoured second device although Castillo requires a little gentle encouragement.  Rojac and Walters take the fight to the Transit Station Bombers as they fight their way onto the ship but reinforcements are inbound in the shape of the USS Beijing.  Sharpe gets hands on with the relief efforts on Earth jumping into an unstable location.  The Magellan and 1 of Unity's Valkyrie Squadrons are guided in on the fleeing shuttle by Chisulo and they disable it's impulse engines.  Prior to this there is a training exercise for Chimera's stay at home Ops team.  And finally Reaper Wing opens hostilities with a deadly Puppetmaster controlled strike and a switcheroo.

Quotable Quotes

by Rangi

Psychic powers?............

He was immediately greeted by Marine Captain Remington and a civilian doctor who introduced himself as Robert Beaumont.

"We've been expecting you", Remington spoke after exchanging greetings.

"Good", Cortez responded, "Then you know why I'm here", he asked.

 "Yes", Beaumont spoke up, "but I'm afraid you wont find what your looking for".

 "And what am I looking for Doctor?".

Remington shot a sideways glance at the doctor.

Actions speaking louder than words?.......

"Is that...", the young marine said stepping towards a decapitated head, "Oh shit, that's Rico...that's Rico...GAME OVER MAN...I'm getting out of here". he began to scream hysterically.

"Shut him up", Remington shouted just before Richards fist slammed into the side of the marines jaw. Before he could react, Cortez then grabbed him from behind and held his hand
over his mouth, "Calm Down", he whispered. After several long tense seconds he finally relaxed and Richard let him go and handed him back his rifle.

How to ruin a good impression...............

"I wasn't just deceptive. I flat out lied."

"Even so, I'd be lost around here without you," Trent said.

She stared at him for a moment.

"I'm ... I'm touched," and she felt it, too.

"Besides, I'd hate to go though another job search. And Starfleet would likely assign me an idiot. So ..."

She shook her head.

"Oh, yeah. I'm so touched," she said, this time with sarcasm.

"Glad to hear it."

====================================
 So the deed is done.......................

"The vote is three for and three against. Vulcan, what ..."

"I don't think this is the time for this!" Meeker said. "We have no idea what is going on out there."

"This is exactly the time for this," Turan said. "Whatever is going on out there is of no concern to us at the moment. We can't alter what is happening somewhere else. But this
vote is of utmost importance."

Meeker just leaned back in his chair.

"Vulcan, how do you vote?" Turan asked.

Everyone's attention was on the Vulcan representative.

"Vulcan votes ... Aye."

Councilman Turan So (npc by Rick) Federation Council Chairman Head of Security and Special Operations Committee
=========================
How to make friends and influence people?....................................

When this didnt work despite repeated tries, Tessa knew there was big trouble lying on the bed in front of her. "Doctor ! " she called although it was more of a yell really but it stopped the person in their tracks. " I need assistance..." she said and stepped aside as the tall slim
man joined her.

...she grabbed his uniform collar and slammed him into the console that Jones was working on.

 "Listen to me one more smart ass comment like that I'll make sure you'll never see the outside world again." Jade said pinning him on the console.

Charly fell back onto the equipment, he was caught off guard and was afraid to actually say anything. The look on her face told him she meant what she said, and as the embarrassment of allowing himself to be gotten the better of by a woman again wore off, he finally uttered, "OK", and hoped she would let him go.

OOC>> Takes place shortly after meeting between Cortez,
Guzman, Rangi and Trent.
 
***1st Task Force CO offices ***

Pakossi, ever polite, stood from his seat as Rangi and Trent
left Shanes office. He watched them leave his outer office
wondering silently and without sign of doing so, at their
serious expressions.

Once outside, they began to walk along the corridor side by
side. Rangi glanced at her companion and asked:

"That's it then. What do you propose to do?"

Trent stopped for a moment to consider the question.

"I don't know," Trent said honestly before turning to face
Rangi. "In your professional opinion with everything that
you know so far, how serious do you think this could get?"

"Bad." she answered simply. " At this moment, we have not
even a glimmer of a solution."

"What is the worse case scenerio?" Trent asked.

She looked past him along the length of the corridor then
remet his eyes as she answered.

"That the whole base is infected...every deck and
department over run."

It was a chilling thought but was a possibility that was
fast turning into a probablilty.

"This is why being a security officer is much easier than
being in a position of command," he muttered to himself,
not even realizing he was speaking outloud.

He noticed Rangi staring at him.

"I have no problem in firing on an unruly mob if it becomes
necessary. Actually, I do, but that's neither here to there.
I'm hoping we can avoid that."

Rangi nodded. It did not sit any more easily with her than
with Trent and she knew too that Shane had not given the
order lightly.

If infected persons could not be contained by other means,
then they were to fired upon as a last resort.
This encompassed everyone from the most senior officer to
the youngest civilian.
 
"I'm still hoping that you can find some sort of cure to this
before it gets to that point," Trent said. "Or is that wishful
thinking on my part?"

"Its just time." Rangi replied. "...and i can't help but think
we're running out of it."
 
"Yeah, we always seem to run out of time, don't we?" Trent
said more as a thought spoken out loud than anything else.
"Keep working on it. And if you need anything, let me know."

= Bridge, USS Chimera =

"Your sure that's what the message said?" Livia (NPC) asked looking at the Private who brought it to her.

"Yes ma'am Major Cortez said that SB UNITY and the Chimera plus Aeran III are quarantined." The Private said looking nervous.

"Okay thank you Private go back to your position." Livia said walking over to the Ops control and tapping her badge, "Melonni to Cmdr Vaughn." She said knowing that she needed more experience then she had on the bridge.

"What is it Lt?" Ian (NPC) said looking up from what he was doing with only a skeleton crew aboard the Chimera this gave Ian time to go over a lot of the paper work that needed to be done and he knew Jade hated doing it so he decided to get it done.

"Sir the station, planet and Chimera have all been quarantined." She said transferring the message down to Ops."Right now you and Major Cortez are the highest ranking officers." She added looking around the bridge there was just her someone at Tactical and Science.

"What do you mean quarantined?" Ian asked knowing what it meant but not understanding why.

"I guess there's been a outbreak and they want to contain it as much as possible." Livia said accessing the stations logs trying to figure out what's going on.

"Alright I'll be at the bridge in 2." Ian said dropping what he was doing and heading out of the ODCC and to the nearest turbolift he also knew that he would need to get in touch with the Major. 

Livia continued skimming the logs trying to figure out what was going on and to also see what she could to do help but her area of expertise was training and dealing damage control and neither of those things seemed like they would help at the moment.
