No major injuries at all, just seems to be out. As you handle him he starts to wake up.

Nothing to be found and none of it is working.

Note: Try not to post in past tense, since everyone else does present or future. Past seems rather final to me.

"Good to see you recovering, Commander. We appear to be trapped in a cargo unit somewhere down 'B' Corridor. The comm unit and door activator are both without power or have been disabled by outside parties. Life support may be shut down, or has been altered to best suit a different species. I was preparing to bypass the door mechanism manually, although it will be difficult without tools."

OCC: Duly noted.

Kuhns grabs his head as he begins to sit up. He opens his eyes to find that another officer is kneeling above him.

He begins to speak in the brash manner that often accompanied him when he had a headache.

"What the hell happened? Oh yes, well I suppose we will have to find a way out of here. What's in this storage unit? Anything that we can use to force the doors open?"

Kuhns gets to his knees and looks(or feels) for something that can pry the doors open. He realizes the warm temperature and decides to take off the outer jacket.(assuming there is a colored shirt underneath)

Investigate: 5+4+2-2=9

"Several ships of unknown configuration warped into station space, attempted to jam our communications, then deployed some form of energy field which knocked out station systems and, presumably, us as well. I was able to send out a distress signal before everything went down, however. The cargo unit is empty save for us, unfortunately. I searched it earlier. Our uniform insignia could serve as crude screwdrivers, but I have found no other potentially useful items. If the door proves impossible to open, there are always the ventilation ducts."

OOC: Cancel the investigation test.

"Well I suggest you and I start getting through the ventilation ducts. I suppose you should go first since you know your way around here better than I do. We need to get power offline at the station. I see it being way too difficult to fight these people with internal sensors. at their disposal or we need to lockout Ops and route command functions somewhere that would be low priority to the invaders."

"Always best to go into this kind of situation with a plan. Our first objective is to escape. Our second is to access the station computer so we can restore power, life support, communications and command functions or at least determine where both the enemy and any remaining crew are located. Failing that, a tricorder will allow to locate either but at shorter range. Our third objective should be to secure the release of the crew, if any can be found. We're more likely to succeed the more hands we can put to the task. Our fourth objective should be securing arms for whatever crew we can liberate, in the event the station must be retaken by force. Do you agree, sir?"

OOG: This thread is where those who are on DS6 right now (and eventually maybe all of you ;) ) will post, so to keep things seperate. The Bannonckburn posts can remain on the In Game thread for now, but eventuall everything will harmonize down to one thread (I hope). :D

Matt and Raconteur please move your role-playing to...

Thanks :)

"Yes I agree. We need to get moving though before our captors get any ideas about interrogation. "

"Let's try bypassing the door circuit first."

Let me know whether I finish sometime within the above cycle of rounds or whether the test requires more time.

You manage to get the door open. As it slides (with some effort from the both of you) you can see that the station is on minimal power.

Lights flicker and spark as you look down the corridors.

From the left you can hear nothing but the hum of the station, from the right you hear the same.

The turbolift is to the right. The emergency ladders are to the left.

Which way do you go?

"The turbolift may not be functioning with the station on minimal power. Also, an enemy in control of Operations could re-route any turbolift to whatever destination they chose and potentially trap us. The emergency ladders are the better option, as they should allow us to move about with less chance of detection. I suggest we make our way to Security first, so we can determine where any enemy or crew may be located and arm ourselves if necessary. From there, we can attempt to liberate any crew we find or move directly to Operations. If nothing else, we can try to bypass Operations entirely and work from the computer core."

"I agree, proceed wit hthe emergency ladders. We'll go with your plan for now."

Deke nods and pauses to scrutinize the corridor one last time. Old habits kick in, and he finds himself calculating the distance to the ladders, the time needed to cross the intervening space, and noting points along the way which could provide cover or conceal hidden foes.

OOC: will invoke Deke's Reconnaissance professional ability. Observe test to assess the corridor "terrain" = 5 roll + 2 roll + 5 skill + 2 specialty + 1 INT + 2 edge + 3 affinities = 20 (vs. TN 10).

It is a clear run down the hall and around the corner to the ladders. The halls are wide and empty.

The flashing lights gives a very disturbing feeling, causing you to jump at shadows every now and then.

You both make it to the ladders unscathed.

Deke checks the deck and section numbers by the ladder to determine his precise location within Deep Star 6, then proceeds toward Security using the best combination of speed and stealth. He pauses every now and again to reconfirm his location and assess the path ahead. Upon reaching Security, or should he find a maintenance alcove with an operational computer console along the route, Deke attempts to tap into the station computer covertly, using his security codes to avoid alerting anyone who might be monitoring the system.

OOC: Computer Use test, if needed = 6 roll + 5 roll + 4 skill + 2 specialty + 1 INT + 2 edge = 20

If successful, Deke will access the passive visual sensors (i.e., the surveillance cameras) to scan vital areas of the station such as Operations and Engineering for hostiles. Should he find any, he activates security overrides to lock out attempts to access all station functions without the proper codes (this includes opening doors). He also attempts to locate any crew in or near those areas.

OOC: System Operation test, if needed = 6 roll + 2 roll + 5 skill + 2 specialty + 1 INT + 2 edge +1 affinity = 19

Slow down.

I haven't even had a chance to reply to you yet and already you are making dice rolls.

Give me a chance man :)

Comes of long PBEM experience. I'm just being prepared, anticipating the logical tests you might assign, and making rolls in the interest of faster turnaround. And I wasn't even a Boy Scout in my youth... :)

Okay from what you can gain from the primitive computers on boards, there are no lifeforms onboard, aside from you two.

But there is another disturbing aspect as well. The station is begining to show the effects of interphase. Either on purpose or by accident, the station is being phased into transphasic space.

And needless to say the effects of interphase on sentients is madness...

Deke's features tighten as the gravity of the situation becomes apparent. "We do not have much time, sir." He shows Kuhnes what he has discovered. "It's possible, if they were unable to escape Deep Star 6 before it was captured, that everyone else aboard the station has already succumb to interphase madness. Our unconsciousness may have protected us, but I'd surmise that we have at best a temporary reprieve."

He commences a search of the computer system for information on interphase. "There may be a means of combatting the effects, but the civilian archive is incomplete. The full Starfleet databank was coming in with Commander Rostoff and Lieutenant McKeown. We need to contact Bannockburn or Monitor, if either is within range, before the effects of interphase render us insane. I suggest make our way to Operations, re-establish full power, and pump as much as feasible through the communications array in order to penetrate any jamming or interphase distortion."

OOC: Computer Use test, if needed = 6 roll + 4 roll + 4 skill + 1 INT + 2 edge = 17

"Is there anyway to shield the inside of the station from the madness?"

OOC- Do our characters know whats going on outside?

"That I know of, sir, no. All I recall is that the phenomenon appears to be subspace-related and is highly unstable."

Deke confirms the current computer time index in an effort to determine how much time has passed since they were knocked out.

OOC: I assume this is not much of a problem, given Deke's Eidetic Memory, but here is a Computer Use test regardless. 3 roll + 2 roll + 4 skill + 1 INT + 2 edge = 12

1 - The computer time index is wonky at best and constantly changing times, it is impossible to tell how long.

2 - There is no way to shield the station from Transphasic radiation.

3 - The computers are so very limited and not in touch with Memory Alpha, that there is nothing beyond a definition of Transphasic radiation.

Deke tries to restore power to the turbolifts, enough to open up a route from here to Operations. "We do not have much time, sir, hours at best. Communication with Bannockburn or Monitor is essential to our survival. We must get to Operations, by the swiftest means possible."

OOC: Computer Use test = 5 roll + 3 roll + 4 skill + 1 Int + 2 edge = 15
