Rivendell Mss. 5: The Disappearance of Cpt. Taurik

[Peter Svensson]

OFF: I'm here http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

*Svensson hears the incoming transmission from the Evolution, and pushes a button.*
"Rivendell to Evolution. This is Svensson. There appears to be a malfunctioning program taking over the ship. I've been able to halt it for the moment, but we haven't resolved the whole issue yet. I can't promise what the ship will do, as we haven't been able to regain control over it yet. I suggest to withdraw the Evolution to a safe distance, for the moment, until we have the situation under control again."

[Taurik]

A ripple is felt throughout the Gallifreyan consciousness. The Na'jigat were resurfacing.

[KHa Var]

~^~KHa'Var to Lt. Commander Freeman~^~
Thank you for your assistance, Lt. Commander Freeman.  I will be sure to send your crewmen back when we repairs are sufficiant for returning to Avalon Station.
~^~KHa'Var out~^~

[Morgan Freeman]

"Captain we are going to preform a full system restart including shutting down life support.   However I will have enough oxegin to preform the restart.  Plus I have this. "  

Freeman pulls an oxegin mask from a cuboard.

[Baphomet]

OOC: Sorry Kassie, if I wasn't dead, with my Katra in Freeman I would come to your rescue. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[Morgan Freeman]

Its always good to be firmilar with ones ship.  Please let me know if a Bable on about random facts.  

I am not really sure how much information you have on Prometheus class starships but:

As you can see from the schematic on the situation table the Rivendell normally has 3 distinct parts that can seperate in case of an emergency.    At the moment we only have 2 sections, the bottom was destroyed when devending Avalon Station and we are awaiting some new parts to rebuild it.  

Also you may notice over here *Morgan points to the warp core* that our current warp configuration doesn't match the Specs you were ingrossed in on your way in.   Thats because the core was ejected to stop us from finding Captain Taurik.

Also, We have fully bio-neural circuitry installing in the ship plus I have made a few inhancements to its turn over time increasing there effiency.
Also, I understand from your file that you specialize in computers.  I think you will be interested to know we have 3 computer cores.  When the ship is in 1 piece only the core in the 3rd section remains active, the other 2 cores remained powered enough to live copy any file updates processed in the main computer core.  At the time of a seperation, *Morgan brings up an animation of the ship seperating,*  the remaining computers power up and assume control of each section seperatly."

After giving Kassie a few seconds to process all those fun tech facts "So, do you have any questions?"

[Taurik]

(OFF: The Romulans are crippled and defeated...)

"Thank you, Captain. I can send a repair team, if you  require the assistance?"

[Morgan Freeman]

=A= Engineering to Bridge =A=
 Repair crews on rout to deck nine shuttle bay to make repairs on the bay door.   I am on my way to the bridge
=A= Engineering out =A=

-- A moment later the engineering team arrives in the bay.  

=A= Ensign Rolins to Commander Freeman.  =A=
We have  arrived a the bay and it appears this damage was done by a type 8 shuttles weapons fire.     The inventory computer logs that the shuttle Gandoulf was checked out by Captain Taurik.   Repairs should be done to the bay within 5 minutes.
=A= Rolins out =A=

-- Freeman arrives on the bridge --
"All hands yellow alert.  Miss Baphomet Scan for a warp engine ionization frequency of 1.725 with a 1/3 degree verience and feed the location of the trail to the helm.  
Mr Walker lay in a course to folow the trail at maximum warp, as soon as the shuttlebay is secure engage.
Stand by with tractors and transporters."

=A= Bridge to sickbay =A=
 Doctor, the captain took a shuttle a blasted a hole through shuttle bay 2.  We are on our way after him.   Start working on a way to restore the captain to normal.  I don't really think that he would do something like this on his own.  
=A= Bridge out. =A=

-- Turns his attention back to the bridge crew.  
"We will get the captain back, I promise you."

=A= Rolins to freeman =A=
  We have pached up the bay door and we are good for warp flight.  
=A= Rolins out. =A=

"Mr Walker engage."

[Kassie]

Understood sir........

*Kassie then heads out and finds a computer console and gets right to work*

*Kassie tries to get into the secondary main computer but keeps getting a restricted beep......*

"Hmmmmm.......*taps her combadge*

Freeman the secondary computer wont allow me access.........I think I may need your authorization to get into the computer so I can complete the task......could ya help me out here ?

[Peter Svensson]

*Svensson smiles.*
"Be my guest and contact the president himself. I doubt he will have much ears for your lament."
*Then he turns to a control panel, and touches some buttons.*
"Besides, the program was not intended to cause harm to you, your ship or her crew. What happened here, was something that seriously went out of hand."
*While he talks, he touches some buttons. He checks if the safe copy of the S31 file is still safely in place, and well hidden. He notices that it is, and touches another button to activate it silently. No sensors detect the activation of this file, and then he inputs a command to erase all possible tracks to the reactivation of the backup file. No trace to the file - and its new backup that was made simultaneously - remains in the computer. Then he shuts down the panel again.*
"It seems we're gaining control over all systems again. I suggest we take the ship back into standard orbit, before it suffers any more damage?"

[Ferando ONeil]

After working on the task for about an hour it turn to the commander and say Sir Captain Taurik I think sir that he if trained by whoever took him he could become very powerful Telekenitic or maybe able to send thought to people over very long distances. Maybe even do what has been done to him sir.

[Orpheus]

Yay he's gone, although I did manage to gain access to quiet a few files http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Morgan Freeman]

"Yes sir, I am going to check up on my engineering.   Call me when you are ready to discuss."

With that Morgan walks out of the transporter room hurrying off to engineering.   After checking on the status of the temp core Morgan starts running through a list of operational activities since the team left the ship.

[HK47]

*while connected to Orpheus still but still able to hear the conversations of the capt...and everyone else HK continues to talk to Orpheus*

I was built as a defense droid........So my programming is in those fields but the Delta alliance sent me to protect the Evolution and from then on was put in the Delta alliance/Starfleet Ambassadorial Program for the 2 people........My programming doesnt conflict most of the time.........I am given an order.....then I carry it out unless something more important comes up........If something more important Comes up then I will carry out my orders to the best of my ability in the way I see fit.....in all respects and in some ways I am a human but I have programs instead of thoughts.......But like a human I learn from Experience.........

For Example........I was ordered bye Peter to stay and protect the Evolution.........then Rasmain woke up and told me to remain and watch a weapons smuggler we picked up.......Then the Rivendell came over the communications network to tell the evolution to leave or be destroyed........I could have stayed but the threat to the Evolution over Seeded the orders from Peter and Rasmain.....So I went down to the planet and told them because they should have been made aware of the situation and here I am now talking to you........in some respects I have programms that span across many feilds......From Soldier.....to medic......to a small Fighter ship.......to a Engineer.......I have many programms and some of them conflict and others dont.......Some programs I must decide weather to obey or disobey......it all depends on the situation....Depending on the situation I will decide what course of action to take.......

I am a Droid........yes......But I have many Programmings that allows me to make Cohesive Descisions like a sentient race.......So I will do what I must to do what my programming requires.........I dont find it a hindrance...............Instead it makes me in some ways Just like a Human.......But im made of Steel rather then Flesh and bone.....which is an advantage........

But in a way im Sympathetic towards all Mechanical Devices.......Specially towards you.....From what I have gathered from the Evolutions database your programming allows you to remain in the ships system but doesnt allow you to walk around.........

Why do they not allow you to have a body and walk around.........??

Hope I answered your question ?.........But You also have more questions ? if so ask ?

OOC**I got an Idea forming http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.........and Ill get the Yes or no From David http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>...........If he says yes your gonna have fun Orpheus http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I think i might have fudged on what I was trying to say to answer your question Orphues if I did fudge please clarify what your asking http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>........I get easily confused over the simplest of things at times http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[Baphomet]

Baphomet's head began to ache...she could sense something akin to danger but could not put her finger on it, except for an un-Vulcan like erge to rip everyones heads off.

=A=Commander Baphomet to Commander Freeman=A=
"Commander I know you do not trust me at the moment, but I will input the counteraction code if I may speak with you privately sir, infact the whole Command staff.
This is going against the Captain's orders but I am not entirely convinced, now, that he is acting by his own accord."
=A= Out =A=

With that said and smoke almost coming out of Commander Travis's ears, a Command staff meeting was held in the Observation room.

"I apologise for my actions, but I was acting on direct orders from the Captain, of which I am now going to betray.
Firstly my present actions were of my own volition and not with the coertion of any alien entity.
Secondly we are one System away from Gallifrey and certain death of the crew from the extremely xenophobic inhabitants.
Thirdly the Captain is fine and is being trained to use and amplify his natural psionic abilities for the final war with the Na'Jigat, who have returned"

Baphomet looked at her fellow crew mates, with an almost pleading look on her usually stoic face.

"I will deactivate the lock-down if I can be assured that you will not attempt to rescue th Captain in anyway, because believe me when I say, any attempt to rescue the Captain or enter the Gallifreyan system without permission will result in immediate anihilation and destroy any hope of for the future."

"computer, voice recognition, T'Krell, sub-commander, of the V'Shar/Section 31, override code: Achilles"

-Voice recogntion verified, override code Achilles confirmed, lock-down disabled-

All Command and Control systems flickered back to life and all systems returned to full power.
Barring, of course, one brand new Warp-9.6, 72 Cochrane, Antimatter/Matter reactor core.
