Jason already had all the badges from the people around and he offered them to Jackie with a smile back. "Hi, here's the ones from this level." He was use to Jackie calling him 'sir' but he had teased her just as much as he had anyone he had gotten to know. Turning to Tekar, "Sir would you like me to get the rest of the team to go around the ship and get the tricorders, badges and other portables and bring them to a centralized location like the Armory or the office? Donno 'bout you, but seems its 'bout to get a mite bit busy here inna few."

"Make it so Specialist Walker." Tekar says with a nod as he goes to help in collecting any tricorders or wireless devices on this level to get to work on. "The armory will work for storing items until we get to them."

In reply to Tekar Visroy Davis (msg # 82):

"Actually," Cat called to Jason and the others as she passed on her way to MedBay to meet Alex, "it'll be simpler to just replicate new equipment once the system is back up.  Still we can't risk infected items reinfecting us, so gather it up regardless.  If something is needed before we have the replicators working, we can manually re-image."

She couldn't help but give Jackie a look of disapproval, "You should know that, Crewman."

Jackie hung her head, "Yes, ma'am."

Location: Deck whatever, Engineering. Exiting to Armory, eventually.

He glanced to the side at Jackie then back at Tekar before shrugging slightly. "We'll be-," he cut off as Cat spoke and glanced back and forth a moment between her and Jackie. "Yes sir. Ma'am," he said to Tekar and Catrina.

"I'll meet you in the Armory after I get the guys and gals to hit the decks," he said to Jackie, bit sympathetic to the rebuke. Then he headed out to find the few security personnel still on whatever deck he's on.

In reply to Thani sh'Elliaph (msg # 74):

Though not cleared to resume command, Farah still wanted to be of help.  She trusted her team to handle the critical systems, but Cat had put a lower priority on Science and that seemed a good place.  "Lt. Cmdr sh'Elliaph," she called to catch up with Thani.  "Mind if I lend a hand?"

Naoko hurried to the bridge, eager, if not desperate, to put things right.  Cat had shown her a sign of report, but she knew once this was over she had to face the Captain.  Perhaps it would not have been so bad had no one been hurt, but someone had and Naoko had to face the consequences.  But that had to come later.  For now, she had a job to do and honor demanded she completed her task to the best of her ability.

"Commander Malko?" she called to the Trill sitting in the chair. "I'm Lt. Kusaragi.  Chief Matheson sent me here to get the operations systems restored."

Glancing at the badges in his hand, she continued. "If I may ask, sir, what are you doing with those?"

In reply to Tekar Visroy Davis (msg # 82):

"Should I help in gathering items, sir?" Jackie asked Tekar, unsure what her next move should be, but wanting to be useful, especially in light of her screw up.

Once arriving in the warp core room, for some reason being one of the few assigned to handle the room seemed a bit daunting at first. She stepped in and so few people were there... for once, for some reason, she felt the void and emptiness of people. It was a strange feeling that she quickly decided she didnt like.
Thankfully, it was more an edging, a peripheral sense, then an overwhelming one.

as if the machines called out to her, the void and silence of their operations spoke to her, telling her to make them work. She quickly moved over to a console to interface with it. Her fingers sliding across its interface panel with almost an intimate sense of mastery to it. Her face slowly brightening as she worked, her eyes rapidly scanning the screen's feedback as she worked to clear and reset its system.

Location: Deck 3?, Science


Thani looked to the Captain, a faint smile given. Seeing the captain and the others down in the medbay had been surreal to her. She was genuinely relieved to see both Catrina and Farah up and about. Giving a nod, "Glad to see you up and about captain. Can you prep for the wipe of the system?"

As she pulls out a backup device to back up data, "While I back up the theory data for the photon torpedo testing."

She was surprised nobody had commented on her night apparel while working though. Duty came first, and that meant being in her PJs, then so be it. At least it was the correct color for her department.

In reply to Thani sh'Elliaph (msg # 89):


Nodding to the lt., “Lt. Blatt, it looks as though the comm replacement is being taken care of, please start getting subsystems prepared to be brought online when the time comes.”

He slid down the ladder to the warp core, noticing it was empty except for the betazoid.  “Commander, Im here to assist as best I can.  I may not know engineering, but I can handle a computer fairly good and I can monitor the systems with the best of them.  How can I help?”

Tekar smiled at Jackie before replying, "So long as it doesn't interfere with your other responsibilities it'd be a great help if you could Crewmen."

In reply to Thani sh'Elliaph (msg # 89):

Location: Deck 3, Science Lab


"I was going to ask tomorrow, but how are your test plans progressing for the new quantum torpedo?" Farah asked Thani as she began the systems for the wipe and restore.  "If you're still doing analysis, I understand."

Deck 3, Security Complex

Though she no real authority, Jackie conscripted two others to help her locate and gather any portable devices that might have interfaced with the main computer.  It was unglamorous work to be sure and it would be simpler to replicate new ones, but they couldn't take the chance of something that the virus had infected reconnecting to the main computer.  Along the way, she made sure to power down smaller systems that couldn't be carried.

"I think that's everything, sirs," she said to both Tekar and Jason.

In reply to Jackie Rosebrooke (msg # 93):

Deck 3, Security Complex

Jason had done what he could with a few of the other security personnel standing around not sure what to do. Them having something to do got a reaction and when they brought back all they had collected to Security. He was doing what he could to deactivate things he really didn't pay much attention to, a serious frown of concentration on his face, when Jackie entered.

"Thanks, Rosebrooke," he said, still distracted by the tricorder. Even calling him 'sir' didn't really catch his attention at that moment as he turned the tricorder over and over before opening it and pressing a button.

Instead of powering down, it made a loud noise that had him almost throw it in surprise and he started juggling it till he caught it and set it down firmly. Gaze flickered around the room and he then looked down and snatched up one of the badges, disabling it. Such a fascinating thing, the badge.

"Specialist Walker, is there a problem with the equipment?" Tekar asks as he enters nodding to Jackie as he delivers his own fair share to gear to the armoury for reprocessing.

Jess almost didn't hear decker enter, she gave him a quick glance as he did before going back to her screen "I don't mind the assistance, its a big room." In truth she did, her teeth gritted a little at the loss of solitude with her work but she pressed herself into a more positive demeanor. She wasn't some low ranking officer anymore, she literally just led all of engineering... the gravity of her position was cycling through her. While she hadn't yet settled on how she felt about it Jessica at least knew there was a strong sense of seriousness expected of her now.

"The process is simple really, just run a reformatting of the local systems and later, when we get the main computer reset, it will make sure everything initiated and set to the appropriate defaults. We need to clear caches, driver's, registries, everything... basically, if you can do something on it then it needs to be formated again."

In reply to Farah Greene (msg # 92):


Thani looked up.  Processing a couple of thoughts, smiled at the captain, "I made great progress. Dr. Dupont and I worked together and he had some thoughts on how to reduce the variables and noise. I'm actually excited to see the results of these tests. I always love a good explosion.

Not wanting to keep all focus on herself, she quickly changes the subject. "How are you finding the ship and the crew?"

In reply to Thani sh'Elliaph (msg # 97):


"It's still early to tell how well the crew will work together," Farah admitted.  Plans and reality had a way of disagreeing.  She had already dismissed one from the team after her behavior at the dinner party and wasn't afraid to do it again.  The mission came first.  Always.  "But the ship..." She sighed.  "Cat and I worked together to make her how I want..."

A distinct tone of displeasure filled her voice. "Didn't know I'd have a Jonah aboard."

In reply to Farah Greene (msg # 98):


That last catches her off-guard, "I'm sorry, a what?" Clearly confused at what must an Earth-based slang term as she doesn't recall any crew member with a name of Jonah.

In reply to Thani sh'Elliaph (msg # 99):

"A Jonah is an old Earth sailing term for someone who's bad luck aboard a ship," Farah said as she completed her part of the work. "Then again, women and redhead's are considered bad luck too, but I just hope not making it a day out of dock before something goes sideways isn't an ill omen."

Thani finished her backups and turned back to Farah, a concerned and puzzled frown on her face, "I see. And what does one do when a Jonah is found?"


Verifying all the data was backed up, she then looked back to Farah, "I'm good for shut down and wipe."

Vanna glances at Naoko from her position at Operations. "Apparently we're wiping them, although I don't know all the details on exactly, whats going on.  We're supposed to begin wiping this console, all i know is security took all our comm badges and tricorders."

In reply to Tekar Visroy Davis (msg # 95):

"No sir," he said, ear tips getting red.

In reply to Thani sh'Elliaph (msg # 101):


With a final command, Farah nodded.  "Initiating wipe process.  It'll take a bit, but while you have my undivided attention, is there anything you need?"

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 103):

Watching Jason, Jackie had burst into laughter.  He had claimed to be technically incompetent, but she had no idea it was that bad.  "Awww..." she cooed, not at Jason, but the tricorder now on the floor.  She bent down and picked it up.   "Did the bad man scare you?"

Then Tekar spoke and like a door slamming shut, the smile and demeanor disappeared from Jackie.  "N-No sir.  A tricorder just fell."
