Navorn

Navorn floated through the doors to main engineering and after going through the diagnostics started muttering under hir breath as shi immediately started trying to recalibrate the cores, and shi knew that is the secondary core needed to get recalibrated Eclipse would leave it as the main priority would be to get the main triple cores up and going first. Though Navorn couldn't help but smirk as shi started the recalibrating as shi knew there where very few people that could know a ships systems aswell as shi did with only 11 years of experience with any kind of advanced technology. Shi also opened a comm channel to Eclipse to let hir know what was going on.

"Eclipse it seems that all we need to do is recalibrate the cores for this universe which I'm in the process of doing right now and should take about 10 minutes."


Sebastian

Sebastian was fiddling with the sensors trying to overcome the effects of the dark matter and also logging any sensor info collected on the rupture as shi knew figured hir sire could compare them to the reading a global sensor system had logged when hir mother had first appeared on Earth 11 years ago, But the moment the sensors detected a vessel approaching Shi immediately opened an internal channel to hir father, Eclipse.

"We have an unknown vessel approaching us, and it's not of any design we've seen before, correction make that two unknown vessels though one does seem like it might have some slight design similarities to Star corp or Starfleet."


Dot

Dot was the first to get back to the bridge from checking over hir assigned sections of the ship and shi immediately went to the comms station and hearing Sebastian say there was an unknown vessel approaching immediately strapped hirself in.


Eclipse

Eclipse had still been trying to get to the secondary core when Navorn informaed hir of what shi had found with the primary cores and Eclipse decided to head back to the bridge and was halfway back when shi got the message from Sebastion and tried to move faster and just as shi got to the bridge Dot announced that they where receiving a signal of some kind and shi immediately started trying to recalibrate comms to try and get the message.

((OOC: You should have made a roll for it...))


Having already established that this was a different universe, although apparently a similar one, it didn't take long to reset the quantum signature of the comm system and eventually the ship... if you can't find a way back.

The problem with resetting the comm is that it might not work with the rest of the ship.

Once reset, the comm is making more sense of the transmission. It sounds like Klingon, but more like Klingon gibberish.

[Language unknown: =/\=Sathe lo noai Ticncerat arlaev Airese! Atiastlatund a se wi o entastterfor!=/\=]

((OOC: Sorry we never did set up skills or anything for Eclipse or hir family so I wasn't sure.))



Eclipse listened as Dot got the coms working and frowned at what shi heard as it was like no language shi had ever heard.

"Dot open a channel so we can respond and put us at yellow alert so your sibling know to either get here to the bridge or to the ships inner structure where they'll be better protected incase things go south, and try to see if you can't clean that up."


"Unknown vessel, I'm Commander Eclipse of the Stellar Federation, we are experiencing some problems with some of our equipment due to the nature of our unanticipated arrival here, and your last message we received seemed broken and incomplete."

Eclipse then indicated to Dot to cut the channel so shi could speak freely and once Dot confirmed the channel was closed Eclipse opened an internal channel to Navorn.

"Navorn Once you can get the cores fired up keep them at minimum levels until or unless we need more power, also just as an emergency precaution get armed, I'm unlocking the weapons locker here on the bridge and the others for the other kids to arms themselves in worst case."







21:52, Today: Eclipse rolled 7 using 1d20 with rolls of 7.  warp core recalibration.

21:47, Today: Eclipse rolled 18 using 1d20 with rolls of 18.  coms recalibrate continuing.

The warp core recalibration is done quickly. The communications is a bit trickier.

Another message comes from the other ship. It sounds almost the same as the previous one, but there is a tone of frustration and anger in it. You definitely get the impression that your own comm message was received but with as little comprehension as you had of theirs.


You detect another ship approaching fast. It, too, sends out a comm message. It has a vague hint of Federation common, but, again, may be getting distorted by the different universal wave length.


The first ship apparently decides not to wait for the other ship and opens fire on the Ancestor. It may be that the second ship is an enemy of the first ship or it may be that the first doesn't want to share in any bounty from defeating the Ancestor.

It also isn't clear if the first ship is firing a warning shot or if it is making a full attack.

Eclipse waits for a response to hir message when the rest of the children get back to the bridge and take their respectful places just as another message is received from both the first ship and a second ship before the first vessel fired on the Ancestor.

"Dot open a channel again but to both vessels."

then first in the Caitains language called Katang low tongue and that in the Raskani language shi spoke.

"hold your fire, we are not here to fight, are comms are not understanding your language and we have children aboard."



Sebastian

The moment the ship had gone to yellow alert shi had stopped hir inspections and had gone to the nearest arms locker and pulled out a phaser and holster before heading to the bridge and once there shi quickly took hir spot at the helm, but as the one vessel opened fire shi was glad that the Ancestors emergency power was enough for some limited evasive action using the thrusters and did what shi could to try to minimize damage until the main cores where brought online.


Dot

Dot continued to try and find some way of getting the Ancestors coms to understand these aliens even trying to run what they did have through the Miraki translator, but didn't have much hope in that despite it's near miraculous capabilities for language it still usually needed some kind of reference to start a translation.


Cali

Cali had also armed hirself on hir way to the bridge and took hir spot at weapons and when the alien vessel opened fire immediately set the ship from yellow to red alert and for the Ancestor there was only one stage left which was Battle alert but that was saved for when there was a high possibility of boarding as the entire ship except for the bridge and some of the crew quarters where vented to space and all artificial gravity was shut off.


Navorn

The moment the recalibration was done Navorn tried to fire up the cores, hoping that they would fire up quickly as shi didn't want to have to try any tricks to get them up to full power until more was known about what was going one, but shi did send the calibration to the systems for the secondary emergency core.

19:37, Today: Eclipse rolled 17 using 1d20 with rolls of 17.  coms calibtration continued.

19:24, Today: Eclipse rolled 18 using 1d20 with rolls of 18.  evasive maneuvers.

19:23, Today: Eclipse rolled 9 using 1d20 with rolls of 9.  firing up the triple cores.

19:22, Today: Eclipse rolled 1 using 1d20 with rolls of 1.  miraki universel translator.

((OOC: So, the Federation ship will be able to understand hir Caitian. Just give the other players a chance to respond before I post your message in the main thread.))

((OOC: Bleh week. What can the Mongoose sensors tell about the Ancestor? Will they be able to get an accurate reading of the number of life signs on board?))


It quickly became apparent that the ship's quantum signature could not be changed to match the quantum signature of this universe. There was no known way of doing that.

At the same time, there was also no way to recalibrate every system on the ship at the same time. Each system would have to be adjusted individually.

Comms were the first, but there was a problem still. It couldn't quite make sense of the language. The translator would find a single word, but couldn't make sense out of the structure.

It was only when the sensors were recalibrated that you were able to determine that you were in an area of space filled with dark energy. Once you recalibrated for the dark energy, things started making sense.

You detected that the second ship had fired on the first ship.

At the same time, you picked up the Klingon ship transporting something over to the Ancestor.

((OOC: The Ancestor is supposed to have a sensor reflective hull, but for now I'll say that they can detect life signs but not how many or exactly where their located but an estimate between 3 to 10 due to interference from the Ancestors hull. If allowed to successfully go through with the full battle alert, the other ships would be able to see the Ancestors atmosphere being vented to space and maybe even that the ship was no longer producing internal gravity
In the CU moving and doing things in Zero gravity for starwalkers is like walking and running for us, completely natural.))


Sebastian

Sebastian had finally managed to get the sensors working properly again and was slightly relieved when the second incoming vessel opened fire on the first one but that relief disappeared when shi saw that the first vessel was transporting something aboard.


"Captain first unknown has transported something aboard, trying to get internal sensors to get a reading on what it was. Also we seem to be in some kind of dark energy cloud."


Sebastian muttered under hir breath as the internal sensors initially gave wonky readings and immediately started trying to get them recalibrated like shi had the external sensors.

Eclipse

The moment Sebastion told hir that something had been beamed aboard shi called out to Cali.

"Go to Battle Alert, and make sure the others know we might have uninvited guests."


Eclipse hoped that the battle alert would at least respond like it should and vent most of the ship except for the bridge and certain airlocked chambers on the ship to space, while at the same time shutting down the ships entire artificial gravity system, which would give Navorn and the children the advantage with their Starwalker freedom and skill in Zero gravity, as even back home, a veteran space walker of twenty years had a hard time keeping up with a 1 year old Starwalker kit, and Navorn and the kids had 11 years experience aboard the Ancestor.


Yoda, Marble

Yoda and Marble had met up with each other at an arms locker and had kitted themselves out with both phasers and oxygen tanks and where on their way to engineering to meet up with Navorn when the ship went into Battle alert and they immediately ducked to one side of the corridor but continued their journey to engineering but in a much stealthier and cautious manner, they also closed their third eyelid giving them the appearance of having solid gold eye's but the eyelid would seal and protect their eye's from vacuum and the rest would happen automatically if they encountered vacuum.





21:41, Today: Eclipse rolled 13 using 1d20 with rolls of 13.  internal sensor recalibration.

21:27, Today: Eclipse rolled 1 using 1d20 with rolls of 1.  internal sensors.

Recalibration went more quickly and more smoothly now that the dual problem was identified. Even the internal sensors had to deal with the dark energy. The Ancestor's hull didn't stop it from permeating the entire ship.

Normally, it wouldn't interfere with organic lifeforms... didn't affect health, vision, brain activity, etc. Oddly, this dark energy seemed to have a different quantum signature as well! So it was causing a slight problem with vision. Intermittent double vision, shadows where none should be.

It seemed to be a function of time--the longer you were in the dark energy, the worse it seemed to get, though you couldn't be sure if there was an upper end.

Internal sensor registered 12 intruders. Klingons.

Just then, Communications was finished being recalibrated.

Navorn

Navorn was still trying to get the main triple core system to fire up when the Battle alert tone sounded off and shi quickly sealed engineering and locked down the doors before making sure the room would stay pressurized while also making sure that the corridors outside where all vacuum still. this way if anyone tried to force their way in the explosive decompression would hurl everything out into the corridor instead of into engineering. Shi also double checked the hir phaser.


Yoda & Marble

As the continued on they felt the increasing vacuum as the atmosphere was vented and where thankful that they both had the Starwalker ability to survive in vacuum but they also reached out with their empathy to try and detect any intruders before they ended up getting within sight.


Sebastian

Sebastian finally got the internal sensors recalibrated and frowned.

"We have 12 intruders of an unknown race that were beamed aboard."

Sebastian quickly tried to get more indepth scans of the intruders but kept rapidly blinking and shaking hir head as hir vision seems to go odd now and then.


Eclipse

Eclipse frowned before quickly looking between Sebastian, Cali, and Dot.

"If you can, start recalibrating weapons, shields, and engines, but be ready incase they get to the bridge, I'm going to go find your other two siblings and then try to get these intruder off my ship."

with that Eclipse suddenly disappeared from the bridge only to reappear moments later in the Ancestors main armory were hir combat armor was and quickly engaging the manual override for the power system shi gets the armor on and also grabs a set of swords that shi attaches the hir lower body for ease of access before making sure the armors basic life support was on and stepping first into the airlock between the armory and the corridor and then into the corridor once the airlock had done it's job and shi quickly moved into an alcove in the corridor before reaching out empathicly to try and pinpoint not only the intruders but also Marble and Yoda.



Cali, Dot

The moment Eclipse had gone Cali started bring up the shield system at hir console and started working on recalibrating it. While Dot brought up the weapons system at hirs and started trying to get it recalibrated leaving the engines themselves to Sebastian.





Eclipse rolled 12 using 2d20 with rolls of 2,10.  engines recalibrate.

Eclipse rolled 26 using 2d20 with rolls of 20,6.  weapons recalibrate.

Eclipse rolled 25 using 2d20 with rolls of 7,18.  shield recalibrate.

Eclipse rolled 38 using 3d20 with rolls of 11,13,14.  empathy.

Eclipse rolled 6 using 2d20 with rolls of 2,4.  determination, teleport talent.

Eclipse rolled 38 using 2d20 with rolls of 19,19.  teleport.

The recalibrated communications pick up a transmission from the second ship. It's in Caitian but clearly was being translated by a computer.

=/\="This is Captain Anther th'Valla of the United Federation Starship Mongoose. You were attacked by a species known as the Klingons. We've detected that they sent a boarding team onto your ship. Our sensors indicate that your power is down and you are venting atmosphere."

"We are sending a team over to assist you to repel the boarders and to assist in repairing your systems."=/\=

Sebastian

Sebastian listened to the incoming message and frowned, but shi knew they had no real choice right now and opened a channel to respond.

"Captain Anther th'Valla, I'm Chakat Sebastian daughter of Navorn and Eclipse. We appreciate the help, and I'm sure Commander Eclipse would aswell. If Shi was still on the bridge, but shi has left to deal with the intruders you identify as Klingons. Our venting atmosphere is intentional and part of a security protocol and only effects certain parts of the ship, I will endeavor to inform Commander Eclipse of your teams arrival but if shi is in hir battle armor shi may not be able to receive me, please inform your team of this potential problem."

the moment shi closed the channel shi immediately tried to send a message to Eclipse to inform hir of their incoming new guests.

"Dad we have more company coming from the second ship but their coming to assist us."

========== For Eclipse and her crew ==========

Not knowing if the Klingons in this universe are like the Klingons in hirs, or possibly worse, having assistance from someone in this universe who should know what they are like is probably a good thing.

For that matter, shi doesn't really know what this Federation is like. So far, though, the indications are positive. Although, they could have fired on the Klingon ship to drive away a potential claimant to this ship. Ditto for their boarding part.

Shi also didn't know how many were being transported over (or, for that matter, if they were being transported over) or how they were armed or armored.



========== For the Mongoose Away Team ==========

There are only six of you, since you are expecting help from the crew of this ship. If it gets down to bat'leth combat, you might be in trouble, but in a firefight, the captain has confidence that you'll prevail.

Zaxim Asida, Dieter Lumper, Dypec, Jillian Svensson and two other Security Officers.

sparkle effect :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

You materialize in a corridor. Hopefully, you aren't too far away from the Klingons, but the beaming couldn't be very accurate because of this ship's hull.

Another communication from the second ship comes in:

=/\="Acknowledged, Chakat Sebastian. I will attempt to inform my away team of the situation."=/\=


========== For Away Team Two ==========

=/\="Captain th'Valla to Away Team Two. If you can read me, there may be a heavily armored ally attempting to deal with the Klingons. Repeat: armored ally."=/\=

Now that everyone is compensating for quantum difference, Away Team Two can receive the message.

============= For Mongoose away team ==============

The corridor the away team finds themselves in looks more like a hallway in an old house, with wood paneling on the walls, those that know about house interiors might recognize it as knotty pine boards, a tasteful carpet covering the deck, and what appeared to be a plastered ceiling, and the doors along the hall while obviously meant to slide into the walls where also designed to appear to be wooden doors rather then conventional ship doors.

Shortly after the team arrives there movement at one end of the corridor which turns out to be what almost appears to be a mechanical feline taur form followed by a smaller feline taur form that seems to be living but with the corridor fully vacuum the smaller taur form has only a shirt on hir upper torso, but shi also has solid gold eye's



Super

Super had gotten hir phaser from hir quarters and had just left it and was heading for the bridge when shi saw hir mother going the opposite direction and followed hir, hir phaser on one of it's higher settings. Though all shi was wearing was hir uniform top. Super stops as they come around a corner to see a group and people and starts bringing hir phaser up but stops when shi notices that hir mother has not aimed yet.



Eclipse

Eclipse was glad to have Super with hir as shi continued to head for the Klingons but stopped when shi suddenly felt another group and hopping that these where allies moved to them and rounded a corner and saw the group and cautiously approached with hir rifle held at the ready but not aimed.

Zaxim had his phaser at the ready; he was nervous to go against the Klingons, but at the same time the team seemed to consist of the best Star Fleet had to offer. Speaking in hush tones, "I hope that these were the ones the Captain spoke about."

Being both Bolian and just the way Zaxim was; he stepped forward from the group slightly. "Hello, I am Zaxim Adisa of the USS Mongoose. I think we have the same goal of handling the Klingon borders. And, you are?"

Zaxim could not help but to smile at the two feline humanoids.

"They do not look like Klingons," Dypec replies to Zaxim over the radio since they are in survival suits and there is no atmosphere.

"Logically, they must be the crew of this ship."

He waits to see if these quadruped being respond to Zaxim's broadcast.

Eclipse looked at the new arrivals before hir armors com unit received a message from one of them that had stepped forward and shi replies so that they could all hear.


"I'm Commander Chakat Eclipse daughter of Goldmane and Starstreak of house blackpaw, also Captain of the Ancestor, I assume from your nonhostile emotions and behavior that your from the other vessel that did not attack us. Also this is one of my children Super, there are two more of my children behind the Klingons as you call them, once they get to Navorn they will all suit up and come up from behind the Klingons as long as we can hold them to one location, preferably this corridor, as while it is closer to the bridge then I would like a hostile force to ever be, once in this corridor we can trap them with us in front and Navorn, Yoda, and Marble from behind."

"It seems like a solid plan to me, but I am not the boss. But, a question why did they attack your ship, and I hope the answer is more than because they are Klingons." Zaxim should let the ranking officer lead, but his Bolian nature to talk was hard to suppress. Captain Lincoln had been working with him before he retires.

The Klingon's split up into two groups. One heads for engineering and the other heads for the bridge.

The are in survival suits and armed with disruptors as well as carrying bat'leths on their backs.

Jillian's first instinct upon materializing was to lift her tricorder from her hip and begin taking scans of the ship, understanding its atmosphere, the location of life forms, power systems, potential threats.

Petty Officer Starbird visually scans the room they are in and attempts to identify any immediate threats.

Jillian can get a reading from the creatures in front of her, even through the armor, but she's not picking up anything else throughout the ship. Either the material of the ship is blocking her tricorder or the fact that the ship has a different universal constant is making the tricorder unable to register it.


Just then, half a dozen of the Klingons round a corner. As soon as they spot anyone, they start firing their disruptors.
