T20: High Law and Low Justice (IC Thread 2)

[Maerdwyn]

Forzh answers Ruzz'koff quickly: "There'd be a recond in the computer - but it'd behind the firewall with all the oter security data - that's a helluva hack from anywhere on this ship except the bridge. 'Course, the seals themselves are manual - they might have left them open if they went in."

OOC: Those who went on the engineering tour have all seen the design before, and tere is one such shaft leading out from the crew quarters (which are outside the crew lounge to fore and starboard) down to the life boat bay. It's a strictly low-tech solution, and intentionally so. Metal cylinder, large enough around for an Ursa to squeeze through, with difficulty. Each end has a hinged hatch (metal, with a glassteel window and air pressure guage incorporated into it) which is mechanically, rather than electronically, opened and closed by turning a wheel. The shaft is outfitted with metal rungs, in case the ship's gravdisks malfunction.

 

[Wilphe]

"Where's the nearest entry?"

 

[Maerdwyn]

"There's one in each of the crew quarters - this deck's is right out that door [he points to the foreward door] and through the door to starboard. There's also a shaft connecting the bridge and sub-bridge to the life boats bay."

 

[Wilphe]

"If they have come down they'll probably have used the bridge one. Still, lets go to the hearest. Unless somone wants to volunteer to take the lift and check?"

 

[Douane]

The agent, too, looks at the door, and a little of the fight goes out of him. He still struggles some, but says, "No. We were just guarding her - in case the former captain tried anything stupid."

"This ... better be the truth. You wouldn't like the consequences if you lied to us." Zaed replies.

"Oh, just in case you didn't notice: The captain isn't as former as you might have thought. In fact, she looks pretty much current to me."

...

"Well. Can anyone ... ah, better forget it!" With a quick look at the people gathered around or near him, Zaedhrarrg swallows his intended request to have someone else guard the agent with a sigh, figuring himself to be the best present choice for this.

Till Ktarle arrives Zaed regularly sneaks a look at the cabin and poor Vyrkris, his mounting concern and anxiety plainly written onto his face.

 

[Watus]

"No choice but to head down and check it out. I'll go first."

Quinn fastens the laser pistol's powerpack to his belt and starts toward the door.

"Stick close behind me. But not too close."

OOC: Does the communicator Quinn lifted off of Vsili have a mute button or a "listen only" function?

OOC: Does the communicator Quinn lifted off of Vsili have a mute button or a "listen only" function?

OOC: Yes. Three modes: 1)Incoming (default) - Incoming channels are opened automatically, outgoing channels are not, and must be actively opened. 2) Bi-Directional. Incoming channels open automatically, as do outgoing channels, allowing instant two-way communication. 3) Privacy. Both incoming and outgoing channels must be actively authorized.

The mode of the comm (1, 2, or 3) is reported on the comm which tries to contact it.

Trelene Scrautigue : Luriani Navy 2/Prof 7 : Retired Makhidkarum Vice President

Forzh answers Ruzz'koff quickly: "There'd be a recond in the computer - but it'd behind the firewall with all the oter security data - that's a helluva hack from anywhere on this ship except the bridge. 'Course, the seals themselves are manual - they might have left them open if they went in."[/color]

Trelene turns to the captain.

"I'll see if I can hack into the main ship's system and find out what's happening on the bridge and the rest of the ship."

Trelene heads to the nearest computer terminal and gets to work. [Skills: T/Computer +18, T/Electronics +18; Feats: Hacker, Jury Rig, Miracle Worker, Gearhead, Override Ship Security]

OOC: Yes. Three modes:...

If it has an earbud or something similar, Quinn will keep it with him, inserting the bud in his ear, hoping it might give him a heads-up on the HiranuuCop's movements. Otherwise he'll give it to the captain before he heads for the shaft.

Ruzz'koff looks at Quinn, "If you're going down I'll secure here, we don't know where they are, but they do know where corp boy was," he pauses, "unless you want me to come with you, but then anyone here is left unprotected," To those assembing in general, "Come on people, time is pushing. Where the hell's the Captain?"
