Mort exclaims to all present in Ops, especially Julath and Taj: "Intruder alert! Unidentified biosignatures near the docking ports! And they're on the move!"
Perhaps he is overreacting a bit.
Or perhaps not...

Mort exclaims to all present in Ops, especially Julath and Taj: "Intruder alert! Unidentified biosignatures near the docking ports! And they're on the move!"
Perhaps he is overreacting a bit.
Or perhaps not...
Shocked, Julath half-runs over to the sensors console and looks at the readings. Then, turning to Taj, she says, "Lieutenant, assemble security teams. Intercept the intruders at as many possible points, and try to keep them away from the central habitation areas." Taj nods, and heads off, motioning for several personnel to follow.
Ooookay...Quote:

IC: Upon hearing the intruder alert, Gir sprints over to one of the weapons closets and draws a sidearm. As he moves back to his station, he shouts, "Secure the doors! Everyone gets a sidearm!"
Once back at his station (system status), he flips the comm switch. "Laran to Ops. Engineering secured and locked down; standing by."
While he waits, he checks system status.
OOC: Since Gir only has Systems Engineering as a skill (he's a specialist, after all), I figured his station would be to manage power distribution, repair, and upkeep of all non-propulsion, non-power systems on the base (i.e., comms, sensors, life support, weapons, etc.). (That's a fairly wide range of responsibilities, so I would expect it would naturally fall to a higher-ranking officer than a normal substation would.) :)
Mort will look to the Commander for further instruction. Unless told otherwise, he will continue his sensor scans. What more can he learn about the intruders? He will attempt (manuever roll?) to determine more details about their biosigns... Are they humanoid? Microscopic or macroscopic? Carbon based? Are they carrying anything non-organic, such as weapons or equipment? How fast are they moving? Any pertinent information will be relayed to Taj and her security team to aid their efforts in confronting the mysterious presence. Mort is glad at this moment that he is in the relative safety of Ops and not in Taj's shoes! However, he will gladly pick up a phaser and charge into the fray if so ordered by his Commander.
As for the energy signatures, Mort will ask Lt. Solek for his opinion: "What could it have been? Any ideas on how to find any traces of it?" He will also consult the sensor logs to refer to the initial reading taken while he was at dinner. (OOC: Perhaps the investigation of the energy signatures would be best reserved for later, after the crisis resolution, but it is an investigation Mort would eventually like to pursue with Solek's assistance -- or more likely, assist Solek.)
OOC : Has every station been notified of the intruder alert ?
And are there some medical sensors in sickbay (I know we never saw that on screen, but it would seem logical that sickbay had a way to control the health of the people inside the station) ?
Every station has been notified of the alert... I believe that's standard Starfleet procedure. And if it isn't... well, it is now. :DQuote:

OOC : Thanks for the precision. :)
And how about the medical sensors in sickbay ?
If by "medical sensors" you mean readout/scanning instruments, the answer is yes.Quote:

Solek scans the area where the anomalous life form readings seem to have origionated from with a broadband sensor sweep on both EM and Subspace Frequencies. He will also try a Tachyon Scan to try and detect any cloaked vessles. these scans will be cross-refeanced with the sensor logs of the energy readings, with Mort's assistance of course.Quote:

If possible, Solek would also like to try and assertain what species the life form readings are.
Scanning for the species:Quote:

Systems Operation Rank 7 + (2d6=10) = 17, success.
Despite success on your roll, there seems to be no record of these species in any of the station's databases. However, the computer records the file into the database for further reference.
Detecting cloaked ships:
Systems operation Rank 7 + (2d6=7) = 14, result hidden*
There doesn't seem to be any sign of cloaked vessels in the area. You think something might have passed through the sensor grid for a split-second, but it may be a glitch. If the vessels were cloaked, they may have left the area.
* - If I say a result is 'hidden' it means it is a roll where degree of success or faliure determines the results of, say, a sensor scan, and I don't WANT you to know how well you did... you'll have to figure that out on your own. I have now made my first EVIL GM DECISION of the game
:D
Selim connects to the sensors in sickbay and try to scan for these lifeforms. He'll concentrate on wich category they may belong to - carbon, silicon, protoplasm or energy based, humanoid or not, cold or hot blooded, etc.
Of course, if some medical emergency occurs, he'll leave the scanning at once for concentrating on his medical duties.
OK, Re-play the sensor logs at that time period to pinpoint the anomoly and attempt to analyze it.Quote:

Sensor data from the initial scan reveals that the intruders are warm-blooded, humanoid lifeforms, carbon-based, like most species encountered in the galaxy. Further data will require a tricorder scan at closer range...Quote:

As for Solek's work with the sensors:
You replay the sensor data as per request.
Sensors 7 + (2d6=6) = 14, success.
The anomaly replays on the screen. The anomaly was definitely a tachyon emission, most likely from a cloaked vessel.
Gir continues to stand by in engineering, monitoring his systems engineering console as one hand checks to ensure his sidearm is still at his hip. The Cardassian decides to attempt to bring up internal sensor imagery around engineering.
OOC: Sys Ops check. :)

Solek alerts the CO to this fact while continuing to scan for the vessel.
OOC: If I remember correctly, Cloaking fields also react to anti-proton radiation.....
IC perform a broadband scan of the area, Anti-proton, Tetryon, Alpha, beta, gamma, delta radiation, chronotons, Ect....
Systems Operation 4 + (2d6 = 8) = 12, success.Quote:

You realize in alarm that the intruders are almost right outside the engineering section of the station, and making their way towards main engineering. The rest of the engineering personnel, on realizing this, grab sidearms as well and prepare for conflict.
Suddenly there is a noise at the door, which has been reinforced and sealed as per standard Starfleet procedure in an intruder alert situation. You hear a loud banging against the door, hurried and frustrated voices outside the door, and then silence.
The computer suddenly pipes up, "Warning: Security encryption codes compromised. Warning: secuirty encryption codes-" it continues to repeat its message. The intruders are attempting to open the doors to engineering.
Karg's request...
Systems: Sensors 7 + (2d6 = 8) = 14, success.
There appears to be a large concentration of antiprotons, another sign of cloaked vessels, at three separate points surrounding the station... they could possibly be the locations of cloaked vessels.

Alert the CO!!!!
OOC: Does Gir see what the intruders look like? Can he determine what they are?Quote:

Gir curses under his breath and locks out his station. "Lock out your consoles and take defensive positions!" he orders to the rest of the engineering crew, then taps his communicator. "Laran to Ops. We have intruders outside main engineering; they have compromised our security encryption codes and are attempting to gain entrance. I need help down here, quick!"
Gir moves behind the cover of his console, and positions himself for a clear shot to the door...
<< Habitat Ring >>
Taj answered the call from Ops for security near Engineering. She directed the team to follow her and they headed for Engineering...
<< Engineering >>
The door suddenly opened- the intruders have successfully broken the encyption codes. The engineering personnel peer through the darkened corridor for sign of the intruders, and several humanoid figures step through the corridor into engineering, weapons drawn. They're still too obscured to get a good look... but they have begun firing their energy weapons.
I've decided to run this combat by groups rather than having each individual character roll for initiative... so the order of action is:
Gir = 15
Aliens = 11
Engineers = 8
Gir, step up to the plate. Your combat actions are?
"Intruder alert; main engineering," the Cardassian announces as he applies a quick tap to his communicator before taking aim and firing at the nearest invader.Quote:

OOC: Energy Weapons +3. All skill, no talent. :)
OOC: Sitting back and watching while while action goes on in Engineering:D (Not complaning and actually a good thing with what's going on in my life [see general chat area])
Just a note that we WILL have a new player soon, Chris Landmark. He's already got a character concept in mind and will be sending me stats soon. His character will be the second officer, so it's likely that he will make his first appearance in Ops- it will be assumed that his character "tagged along" when everyone moved from the Promenade to Ops.
So once again, welcome to him.
OOC: Apologies to all, especially Evan, for my delay in introducing my character, Lt. Cmdr. Meredith Davies. Between running the showcase LARP at a convention two weeks ago, the increased workload which accompanies a promotion and a bout of severe pain-induced insomnia, I have had little time to actually finish my character. I should be joining the fray shortly, as things have quieted down for the moment.
