[Vimyridge] SD091001.10 - Meeting of Minds Fin - Vilqa, Saladin, Lox, Nix, Reed, Garret

[Kylana ~]

Marcus frowned, they were all on age and the long years of tiredness from
the
war was undoubtedly a stress factor as well. He fell silent and tapped the
side
of his cheek, deep in thought.

She looked down to her PADD, pulling up that information to examine, her
eyes
widening. "That can't be right.." she said softly, moving quickly over to
her
computer and pulling up the flare on the screen. "The flares have just
increased
in size and strength.. That last one was nearly double the size of the
others.."
she said. "And now.. it's occurred in a different location.. either
deliberately
to hide something.. or the effects are getting worse on their own.."

"So what you are telling me, " Vilqa looked toward Nix as if the previous
questioning just never took place; her mind on the present, "is the probe's
locale was never an issue before now?"


Justin looked over his PADD again, re-checking all the data from the now
destroyed probe.

"The probe was originally scanning the sun.. It wasn't move to the asteroid
field until recently.. which is a lot farther away then its original
location.."
she said, showing the two sets of coordinates on the screen. "This was a
very
strong flare.. and since it's the only one.. I'm thinking perhaps it was
unnaturally caused..meaning we.." she paused, looking to Justin. "Look back
on
the data from the probe and see if there was any unusual asteroid movement."

"Already checking... so far nothing... but there is a lot of data." Justin
replied as he worked though several million kiloquads of data.

"My only concern is the ship and the crew..." Nick said, "Ma'am I recommend
that we maintain a safe distance until we find a pattern, so we can avoid
the
flares altogether, there has to be a way to know where another flare will
be..." he said, looking to the captain.  With Yim'Bar on the surface right
now, that made him her security advisor, along with Saladin and the XO.
So he that was all it was.  Advice.  Still, if they went in, he'd be
ready...
"Sensor show... showed something impacting the star just before the flare,
The
probes were too far away to detect what it was.  One of the other probes saw
the
hit, and 15 minutes later the probe I was watching was engulfed with a
coronal
discharge." Justin replied.  "I'm checking the probes we have monitoring the
star to see if I can get a trajectory on the object that hit the star."

Kylee furrowed her brow as she began to sort through the information on the
impact to the sun. "If it's what I think it is, we will be looking for a
fairly large asteroid moving towards the sun. Search the data on the probes
in the asteroid field for any movement, we should also look over the data
that the ship itself might have gathered through scanning," she said,
arching her brow slightly at Nick's words. "A solar flare is only detectable
about a second before it begins.."

"Nix,..." Vilqa looked toward the female who had the most hands on focus on
the flares, "Based on your research," she was agreeing with Reed to adjust
the Vimy Ridge's location from their current safe harbour, "What coordinates
do you believe is the safest locale for the Vimy Ridge or are we in it
now?"

Kylee chewed on her lower lip for a moment, her brow furrowing in thought as
she looked at the image of the area around the sun. "If you want somewhere
safe, where we can be shielded, we can rest the ship behind either
planet..The atmosphere would block the effects.." she stated, pointing to
two separate coordinates.

Vilqa inched forward to look at the two locations Nix was pointing out, "We
need to get the vessel into place for our safety." K`ylana sighed a moment,
"Reed when was your last communication with Cho'lu.? We need to attempt to
contact him."

"About forty five minutes ago, ma'am," Nick said, "I advised him to stay in
contact with me, to play it safe," he told the Captain.  "He'll contact us
every hour, baring any unforseen issues on the surface,"

K`ylana nodded, brow furrowing, "Vilqa to the Ensign Garret.." she paused
waiting for his reply.

Matthew heard the captains voice. "Garret here. Go ahead"


"Ensign I need you to take the ridge out at a slow pace. We want to find
shelter under thesouth pole of the planet. Solar flares are becoming less
predictable so I need you to take the journey with great caution to not get
caught up."

"Aknowledged. Im on my way. Garret out" Matthew said as he left his quarters

"Very good." Vilqa acknowledge Garret before the comms was cut off
prematurely. She shrugged slightly toward Toby then looked to the officers,
"Seems we all just got a bit busier and Commander Blake and I are not
helping standing on your toes. Reed I need you to contact Doctor Blake and
see what she requires of security both on the vessel with the cargo bays and
once she heads planet-side with her medical team. Nix," Vilqa finally
responded to an earlier request, "You will go down to the surface with the
doctor and her team should you want to continue your studies there."

"Aye ma'am..." Nick said, heading for the door, already tapping his
commbadge.
Marcus nodded as the orders were given out, waiting to see if there were any
new for him but knowing that his department had their hands full working
with security on evacuation possibilities, and security and medical with
regards to extra sick bay space, and ensuring all departments were sharing
information quickly and efficiently.

((And now onto your own logs based on orders/goings on... And the rest of
you not in this JL I am still hoping to see some of the temporary red alert
reactions :)  ))
