Session Start: Sat May 29 1999
* Meteor picks up Shadowstrike and hauls her back to medbay
<Artifice> What are we gonna do now Waitstate?
* Blacknife is still in stasis
<Artifice> Half the planet is well done
<Cirrus> I've never seen destruction like this... Why didn't we shoot the gun at a planet SOONER...
<Artifice> We gonna circle around or what?
<Waitstate> Cirrus!
<Artifice> What's wrong with Cirrus?
<Cirrus> Sorry... I lost myself for a moment...
<Waitstate> See that it doesn't happen again
<Cirrus> Yes sir...
<Artifice> Hey, here's a thought
<Waitstate> Tactical, can you give me a planetside damage report?
<Stardrive> I should have seen it sooner.
<Artifice> That Terra character is immune.  Why don't we just duplicate her and modify the superstructure?
* Diablo arrives on the bridge
<Artifice> Then we wouldn't have anything to worry about
<Stardrive> Uh... heavy, heavy damage... radiation is off the scale.
<Waitstate> I'm afraid we don't have time for that now
<Waitstate> Our time is... up
<Artifice> Oh, so that's it huh?
* Meteor returns from medbay
<Artifice> We're just gonna give up on this?
<Waitstate> no...
* Waitstate gets up and heads for the science station
<Artifice> Leaving us so soon?
<Waitstate> maybe there's something left down there that's usable
<Meteor> Some crew will be dead in under 7hrs.
<Artifice> There darn well better be
* Waitstate looks to Meteor gravely
<Meteor> The rest of us have a day, maybe two at the most
<Waitstate> Get as many as you can in stasis
<Stardrive> If there is, it must be in a neutronium container.
<Meteor> I have already, it's not helping anymore, Ayreon and Cyrstalline will be the first to go...
<Waitstate> damn...
* Waitstate turns back to the console
<Meteor> Finding a definite cure is all we have left now.
<Waitstate> initiating sub-surface survey. Maybe they had an underground facility.
<Stardrive> If it was far enough underground, it might have had a chance... 
<Stardrive> Small, but a chance.
<Waitstate> Stardrive, get Terrafirma up here. She has much more knowledge of this than any of us
<Meteor> We sedated her remember?
<Waitstate> right...
* Stardrive sighs.
<Waitstate> do you think she'd be dangerous if we woke her?
<Meteor> She could very well go on a rampage after ahem... 'we' toasted this place
<Artifice> Like you said
<Waitstate> noted
<Artifice> We have no time
<Waitstate> Stardrive, cancel that
<Artifice> I don't care if she slags us, we're gonna go anyways without her help
<Waitstate> Hmm... a few of the outlying structures seem to have survived the blast
<Artifice> Then what are we waiting for?
<Artifice> let's send some teams down there now
<Meteor> Even if there is an underground area, how do we get there? Drill Master has a hard enough time just turning his head let alone anything else
<Waitstate> right
<Waitstate> Meteor, am I still in good enough condition to travel?
<Waitstate> I mean, in comparison at least?
<Meteor> Not a chance, you shouldn't even be here.
<Waitstate> hmph
<Waitstate> who asked you?
<Meteor> I should have put you in stasis some time ago
<Waitstate> Anyone with me, I'm going down
<Artifice> You did you dolt
<Artifice> You can count on that
<Meteor> You did by putting me in charge of medical
* Waitstate heads to the door
<Diablo> I'll go down there too
<Meteor> Fine, I'm coming too
* Waitstate gets into the lift
<Waitstate> Launch bay
* Meteor gets into the lift
* The lift doors close around Wait and anyone else who follows him
* Diablo follows
* Waitstate exits the lift
<Waitstate> Ok everyone, grab a radiation shield
* Diablo also exits the lift
* Diablo takes a shield
* Waitstate pops open a panel and installs his
* Diablo does the same
<Waitstate> ok everyone... we don't have time to prep the big shuttle, so we're taking the skiff. Cram in people.
* Waitstate climbs in and takes the control seat
* Diablo crams in
* Stardrive runs into the Launch bay.
<Waitstate> powering engines...
<Waitstate> Waitstate to bridge
<Stardrive> Aw... damn.
* Meteor transforms to space fighter mode and sits ready for launch by the skim
<Waitstate> Bridge!
<Trilana> [comm]  Bridge.
<Waitstate> Oh, good... override the preflight checks
<Waitstate> just get the atmosphere shields up and open the doors
<Trilana> Overrided.
<Stardrive> [comm] Stardrive to Waitstate.
<Waitstate> *mutter* overrided? gah...
<Waitstate> huh? Stardrive?
<Waitstate> [comm] uh, here Stardrive
<Stardrive> [comm] The radiation down there is going to make communications next to impossible.
<Stardrive> [comm] Unless you have a booster.
<Waitstate> [comm] Are you asking aboard? :P
* Stardrive is a booster. ;D
* Meteor watches the bay doors open
<Stardrive> [comm] What do I have to loose?
* Stardrive gets in.
<Waitstate> Good... close the door
<Waitstate> Strap in. Now
* Diablo lets spiderbot get off the skiff
<Waitstate> Engines on
* Diablo straps in
<Waitstate> Artificial gravity on
<Stardrive> Normally, this might not even work with the radiation levels... but with Tri... no problem.
* Meteor powers up
<Waitstate> ID field steady
<Waitstate> doors... locked
<Waitstate> Let's move
* Meteor takes off
* Waitstate punches the boosters
* Stardrive reconfigures his deflectors to compensate for the radiation.
* The skiff flies out of the bay, a tad too fast perhaps. All not strapped in are flung to the back 
* Meteor follows the skiff to the surface
<Waitstate> heat shield... good...
* The Skiff hits the atmosphere
<Waitstate> ung!
<Waitstate> sorry!
* Chameleon walks onto the bridge
<Waitstate> targeting landing site
<Stardrive> Trilana looks around at Cham.
<Waitstate> good...
<Artifice> What's taking this heap so long?
<Waitstate> beginning descent
* Chameleon is still appearing and disapearing from sight
<Waitstate> stupid safe landing procedures
<Waitstate> Hold on everyone!
* Stardrive holds on.
* Meteor follows the skiff to the surface
* Waitstate angles the skiff's thrust a bit... actually, a lot. The skiff heads straight DOWN 
<Stardrive> Why didn't I fly in on my own?
* Waitstate pulls up
<Stardrive> You need flying lessons.
<Waitstate> I'm in a damn hurry!
<Stardrive> I noticed.
<Waitstate> firing retros 
<Chameleon> Thats it, I'm fed up with this disappearing act of mine
<Stardrive> This is enough to make me afraid of hights.
* Somehow, the skiff slows to a halt, right side up, and begins hovering
<Trilana>  Maybe you could try card tricks instead.
* Artifice unstraps and gets up
* Stardrive chuckles.
* Waitstate eases the skiff down onto the slightly uneven landing site
* Thud
* Artifice falls down
* Meteor transforms to robot mode and lands
<Stardrive> Ungh!   
* Chameleon opens a panel on his arm, and pulls a wire
* Stardrive powers down his SI/IDF
<Waitstate> this was the only site that had low enough radiation for us to even enter. It's also one of the larger structures left standing
* Meteor opens the skiff door from the outside
<Meteor> I recommend haste
* Diablo unstraps and stands up
* Artifice gets out pushing Meteor to the side
* Waitstate powers up his shield, grabs some equipment, and exits
<Artifice> We do know what we're looking for right?
<Waitstate> Not a clue
* Stardrive activates his deflectors.
<Waitstate> fan out everyone!
<Artifice> Gladly
* Stardrive looks around.
* Stardrive exits the ship.
* Waitstate enters the structure
* Meteor goes with Waitstate. "I want you to know, the second I have to I'm taking you back the ship. no arguments."
* Stardrive looks around again... couln't see much from the door.
* Diablo powers up his shield and exits the skiff
<Waitstate> Probably a good idea
<Waitstate> Any ideas what this place actually was?
<Artifice> Like it matters
* Chameleon notices that it's stopped but he's stuck in invisible mode
<Stardrive> Looks like rubble to me.
<Meteor> from the data I veiwed we're on the outskirts of a rather advanced, albeit now destroyed city
* Waitstate pushes open the partly fused, partly crumbled door
* Diablo follows the others
* Waitstate shines a high-power light beam inside
* Waitstate looks to Meteor
* Meteor enters and notices the extensive damage
<Waitstate> Residential you think?
<Meteor> Possibly 
* Artifice punches Waitstate
* Waitstate reels
<Artifice> Why the hell does that even matter?
* Waitstate slams into some furniture
<Artifice> You faulty leadership has screwed this whole crew over
<Meteor> It matters because depending on what this place it determines what information we get!
<Waitstate> Artifice! What the slag are you DOING?
<Stardrive> So we just blew up some town housing?
<Artifice> If it wasn't for you we wouldn't even have this slagging plague
* Stardrive looks at the disturbance.
* Waitstate gets up, falls again, the gets up all the way
* Diablo activates his headlights and powers up his cannons
<Stardrive> Will you knock it off.
* Meteor takes out a sedative while Artifice is distracted
<Stardrive> We have more important things to do than place blame!
<Waitstate> Diablo! Don't start!
<Stardrive> We need a cure!
<Artifice> You go with your precious Meteor and talk us all to death
* Stardrive speaks with the wisdom of his age.
<Diablo> just a precaution
<Meteor> Sorry Artifice, but whether you believe this or not, this is for your own good
<Artifice> I'm going to effect a more efficiant plan
* Meteor sedates Artifice
* Artifice falls
<Waitstate> *sigh*
* Stardrive sighs.
* Waitstate picks up the scanner he dropped
* Diablo powers down his cannons
* Stardrive pulls out his own scanner.
<Waitstate> Meteor... this planet was teeming with the virus, right?
<Meteor> Damn this plague, I'll take mr macho back to the skiff. He'll be out for hours.
<Waitstate> Meteor... this planet was teeming with the virus, right?
<Meteor> Yeah, but surely it must have gone into serious redundancy by now. And after the blast..
* Stardrive scans the area...
<Waitstate> not just that...
<Waitstate> Not a single active trace of it in this entire area
* Meteor shrugs.
<Diablo> Maybe the blast affected it somehow?
<Meteor> Let's just hope it didn't mutate it
<Stardrive> I suppose this much radiation could have killed it...
<Stardrive> Or mutated into something we no longer recognise.
<Waitstate> I'd say so... the only remains I can detect in this room are already breaking down into their componant elements
<Meteor> And even if it did....radiation of this level isn't a viable cure :\
* Waitstate scans the others
<Meteor> But yeah, I'd say this was probably some sort of apartment building. 
<Diablo> then lets look at a more radiated area
<Waitstate> we're all in protective shielding...
<Stardrive> Oh no... I've heard about stuff like that... viruses that can be broken down by heavy energy bombardment... so the conquerers can use the planet afterward. I hope this isn't one.
<Waitstate> Check for yourself. We were all infested BEFORE we left
* Stardrive scans himself.
<Diablo> just wondering but are any of the natives alive, 'cos I'm betting they'd want our heads if they saw us
<Meteor> no, this planet has been void of life, excluding the virus, for thousands of years apparently
<Diablo> what about underground?
<Meteor> I doubt they had anything to shield them, the virus could have gotten to them there
<Meteor> they would have been carrying the virus before long before they went underground to escape it
<Meteor> and even after the blast... I doubt they'd want to surface for awhile even if they were alive
<Meteor> you should keep moving, I'll get Artifice back to the skiff and catch up
<Waitstate> alright...
* Meteor grabs Artifice and returns to the skiff
* Waitstate continues more indepth scans of the room and himself
* Stardrive hits his scanner on its side.
<Stardrive> I think the radiation is messing up my equipment.
* Diablo looks around the room
* Meteor returns a short time later
<Waitstate> Did you run a check on what I said?
<Meteor> yeah, and you're right. but come out here and check this out... there seems to be some power supply left in another building
* Meteor heads for the roof
* Waitstate follows
* Stardrive fiddles with his Verellian scanner.
* Diablo follows Wait and Meteor
* Meteor points to the north, to a tower like structure several miles away. the center of the tower seems to glow
<Meteor> take a look at that
<Meteor> now I bet that isn't an apartment block
<Waitstate> are the radiation levels safe to enter?
<Diablo> what could be causing that?
<Meteor> yep, weaker than what it is here
<Meteor> only one way to find out....
* Waitstate follows
* Meteor transforms and heads for the tower
* Diablo follows behind
* Stardrive transforms and follows.
* Meteor lands by the base of the tower and transforms
* Meteor fails to see a enrtance
* Stardrive flies around the tower.
¤ Stardrive transforms and lands on top of the tower.
* Waitstate slumps against a wall and waits, abuptly very tired
* Meteor walks up to the structure and a segment of wall slides open
<Stardrive> You find an enterance?
<Meteor> the power is still on in there
<Meteor> *to SD* seemingly so...
* Waitstate notes that an entrace has opened, but can't seem to summon the power to get up and join them
<Stardrive> Good. I don't see any up here.
* Stardrive gets lowered inside as a portal opens under him.
<Stardrive> HEY!
<Meteor> uh oh
* Meteor walks inside the structure and looks around
* Waitstate slowly loses consciousness, entering an unanticipated rest cycle
* Diablo follows Meteor
* Meteor scans the room
<Meteor> some very clean readings....
<Diablo> anything good yet?
<Meteor> nothing I think we can use
<Meteor> [comm] Stardrive?
<Stardrive> [comm] Yeah?
<Meteor> [comm] just making sure you weren't eaten or something, find anything interesting where ever you are?
* Waitstate shifts position as his self-repair systems come online
<Stardrive> Not really. Apparently some didn't care for the front door.
* Waitstate is jarred awake by an internal alarm
<Stardrive> I'm in a vertical hallway, still.
<Meteor> go for a wander Diablo, see if you can find anything, I'll stay here to check these computers and keep an eye on Waitstate
<Stardrive> [comm] I'm being lowered down... don't know how far.
<Stardrive> Not very fast, though.
<Waitstate> *Wait's internal computer* Power levels restored.
* Waitstate works a stiff joint
<Waitstate> I needed that... slag! Meteor? Stardrive?
* Diablo sees some stairs and begins climbing
<Meteor> *yells* In here!
* Waitstate gets up
* Waitstate runs over
* Waitstate pokes his head in to the entrance
<Waitstate> Where are you?
<Meteor> just in here
* Waitstate looks toward the direction of the sound, then follows it inside
* Diablo stops on the next floor of the tower and looks around
<Meteor> this place seems to be fully functional. Stardrive is in some lift and diablo has gone to look about elsewhere. are you ok?
<Waitstate> Yeah... great in fact
* Stardrive bangs on the side of the reasonably transparent tube he is in when he sees the others walking by.
<Waitstate> I must have not been watching my power levels
<Waitstate> I'm back to full charge, and I think my repair systems made some headway
<computer> do you wish to stop at this level?
<Stardrive> Um... yeah.
* Stardrive waits a few more seconds as the platform levels with the floor.
<Waitstate> So... what's going on?
* The tube opens 
* Stardrive exits.
* Stardrive flies after the others and lands nearby them.
<Stardrive> Any mail while I was gone?
<Stardrive> Apparently, not everyone cared for the front door. 
* Diablo finds a console
<Waitstate> any ideas what THIS place is?
<Meteor> not one
* Stardrive shrugs.
* Diablo tries to activate it, but it doesn't respond
<Waitstate> hmph
* Waitstate notes Diablo's activities
<Waitstate> dead, eh?
<Stardrive> Well... the lift computer was still working...
* Waitstate tries a different console
<Meteor> some things appear to be working perfectly, but they aren't....others are.
<Stardrive> Could be a seperate unit, but... if the main computer still is... Maybe we could ask?
<Waitstate> couldn't hurt...
* Diablo looks around the room again
<Waitstate> *louder, to the ceiling* Computer, are you on-line?
* Waitstate waits for any response...
<Meteor> wait a second..... *fiddles with a console*
<Meteor> try again....
<Waitstate> alright...
<Waitstate> *louder, to the ceiling* Hey Computer! Are you on-line?
<computer> affirmative.
<Waitstate> ah, good
<Waitstate> What is this place?
<computer> user unknown, initiating scan.
<Stardrive> Must be seperate units.. the lift had a better personality.
<Meteor> I hope there isn't any defense systems....
* Waitstate waits
<computer> scan complete, unidentified energy signature. signal to security command sent.
* Diablo goes back down the stairs to where Wait and Meteor are
<computer> security command, not found.
<Diablo> hey, you got it working
* Waitstate scans the protocols in use
<Meteor> Yeah... sort of,
<Meteor> this is old tech, you could probably hack into the main frame relatively easily
<Waitstate> hmm... I think I can manage this...
<Diablo> I found another console upstairs but it wasn't responding
* Waitstate opens a port
<Waitstate> ok... unloading security modual...
<Waitstate> alright then... Computer, directive override. Create new user Waitstate.
<computer> voice verification, 'Waitstate', accepted. Command?
<Stardrive> Can I have a account too?
* Waitstate glares at Stardrive
* Meteor chuckles
<Waitstate> Directive: what is the current loation?
<computer> Science Tower 55-7H, low level class.
<Waitstate> State mission directives
<computer> Current objective, research and developement. Subject: specimen TR-77-S
<computer> Goal: neutralising agent. Status: incomplete.
<Waitstate> Boot display console. 
<computer> affirmative.
<Waitstate> display data on specimen TR-77-S on active console
<Meteor> ah, that's better
<computer> Data upload complete
* Meteor looks at the data
<Diablo> now we're getting somewhere
<Meteor> whoa, Restore could have a field day on this stuff
* Stardrive switches his scanner on 'record'.
<Waitstate> Looks like they were trying to combat the virus with some sort of projected energy field
<Meteor> looks like they've made some serious headway, but didn't get the chance to finish it
<Meteor> we *might* be able to complete the project... but not in time to save all our crew
<Waitstate> That would explain the tower, and the nearby residential complex
<Meteor> I think we'll need Terrafirma after all
<Waitstate> Computer, is the neutralization field prototype currently active?
<Meteor> my guess is they released everything they had in their dying moments.
<computer> Negative.
<computer> Power core depleted, and minor structural damage detected
<Waitstate> Query: could the recent blast on the surface have caused a surge through the field generators, momentarily activating them at high power?
<computer> Affirmative. Large energy readings were detected in orbit before all systems crashed.
<Waitstate> Scan local area: have the field generators been active?
* Stardrive talks to himself.
<computer> scanning. confirmed readings.
<Waitstate> Query: Did the recent blast alter the residual field effects?
<computer> Negative. New readings are consistant with those previously recorded
<Waitstate> hmm... alright
<Waitstate> I'm about out of ideas... Computer, Scan local area for presence of specimen TR-77-S
<Meteor> I've brought up the prototype's specs in their current form
<computer> Specimen is detected in this room, however, traces are diminishing.
<Waitstate> Are long-range scanners functional?
<computer> Negative, minor circuit damage detected
<Meteor> I can fix that
<Waitstate> do it
<Meteor> Computer, location of damages circuits?
<computer> console B-15
* Meteor spots the console and moves over to it.
* Meteor opens the console up and fiddles with some internal stuff  
<computer> Long range scanners online
<Waitstate> good
<Waitstate> Scan wide area for signs of altered field generator emissions
<computer> Sectors 5 through 78.
<Diablo> so far I take it things are looking good, right?
<Waitstate> Give me a map of the area, hilighting those sectors
* images appears on the console 
<Waitstate> overlay with orbital image... hold for image data
<Waitstate> Stardrive, can you get me an orbital pic of this area?
* images appears on the console 
* Stardrive stops talking...
<Stardrive> Yep.
* Stardrive talks a little more.
<Waitstate> Stream the data to my comm
* Stardrive looks at Wait for a moment.
<Stardrive> Ok.
<Waitstate> Got it... Computer, data upload
<computer> uploading
* Waitstate watches the map overlay
<computer> Complete. Displaying
<Waitstate> there's the Skiff... that must be the structure...
<Waitstate> The residential one I mean
<Waitstate> both are in sector 17
<Waitstate> well inside the specified zone
* Stardrive talks a bit more.
* Stardrive stops talking.
<Waitstate> Computer, scan for specimen TR-77-S in sector 17
<computer> minute traces, diminishing rapidly
<Stardrive> It's not looking good up there. Cham disappeared a while ago and no one has seen him since.
<Meteor> Probably permanently invisible
<Meteor> which will make it hard to find him should he collapse from this virus
<Meteor> unless he's tripped over
<Stardrive> Heh... 
<Waitstate> Computer, scan energy readings in sector 17 and compare them to the neutralization project's objective goal
<computer> results match that of intended goal.
<Waitstate> Can the generators here be modified to generate a matching energy field?
<computer> Negative, current technological standards are incapable.
<Waitstate> Alright... transfer all data, including operating system to this terminal. Installing fast transfer protocols now.
<computer> affirmative, protocols accepted. tranfer beginning
* Waitstate installs the needed software, then opens a port for download into his local database
<Waitstate> Stardrive, tell Junky to get ready to start assembly of a field generator in medbay. I'll have the specs for him soon.
<Waitstate> Meteor, ETA to our first fatality?
* Stardrive tells Tri to tell Junky_LaFord.
<Meteor> If Junky_LaFord is still online...
<Meteor> about 5hrs
<Waitstate> slag
<Meteor> and last I knew, Junky wasn't feeling too good :\
<Waitstate> not much time
<Stardrive> She said, as soon as he's done reassembling himself, he'll get to work.
<Stardrive> Well... that's the translation, of course?
<Waitstate> Good
<Waitstate> You three get in the Skiff and go into a self-repair cycle. It should be effective finally.
<Meteor> What about you?
<Waitstate> I already got some repair in. I have to finish the transfer
* Meteor heads back the skiff
* Diablo follows Meteor back
* Stardrive looks up toward the distant ceiling.
<computer> Transfer complete
* Stardrive goes back to the skiff.
<Waitstate> Thank you for your assistance Computer. Now then...
* Waitstate turns and heads for the exit
* Waitstate head to the Skiff
* Waitstate notes everyone is offline... and strapped in this time
<Waitstate> Computer, activate systems
<computer> *beep*
<Waitstate> good... all systems online
<Waitstate> *sits in command chair* 
* Spiderbot appears on the bridge and bumps into the invisible Cham 
<Waitstate> *Checks again to see if all are unconscious* 
<Waitstate> Good... They won't mind if I do this
* Waitstate throttles the ventral thrusters to full power
<Waitstate> SIF to maximum power, heat shield on!
* Waitstate breaks the atmosphere, cuts the thrust, does a 180, then fires the ventrals again to stop the Skiff
<Waitstate> ok... Skiff to Freedom, ready the launch bay. We're coming in
<Trilana> [comm] Acknowledged... welcome back.
* Waitstate fires manuvering thrusters to align with the ship
* Meteor wakes up
* Stardrive awakens.
<Stardrive> Oh no... I'm in here again...
* Waitstate eases the skiff into the bay, and lands smoothly
<Waitstate> Everyone out... we have a generator to build!
* Diablo reactivates
* Diablo exits the skiff
* Stardrive exits.
* Waitstate rushes to medbay
* Stardrive rushes to Engineering.
* Waitstate exits the lift he took, then bolts down the hall toward medbay
* Meteor arrives at medbay with wait
* Stardrive enters engineering.
<Waitstate> Junky?
* Diablo transforms and drives to medbay
* Stardrive hauls some equipment to medbay with Junky.
* Diablo arrives in medbay and transforms
* Waitstate uploads the computer system data onto the local net for easier access
* Stardrive and Junky enter medbay... where a pile of parts already sits.
<Waitstate> ah, good
* Waitstate keys up the generator's schematics
<Waitstate> This is what we need built
* Meteor checks on the bots in stasis throughout medbay
* Waitstate keys up the modified energy field readout
<Waitstate> And THIS is what we need to modify it to do
<Waitstate> and you have less than 4 hours to do it in
<Junky_LaFord>  Little bit of this, little bit of that, Just Do it.
* Diablo checks on the bits of his friend in the box
<Waitstate> I'll assume that means "I'll have it finished in 2".
<Junky_LaFord> It'll take at least 14 hours, Captain!
<Junky_LaFord> I canna' change the laws of physics.
<Meteor> we've got far less than that before crew start dying
* Junky_LaFord starts working.
<Waitstate> It may help to know that you can scale it down. We don't need the whole tower. Just a generator
* 3 and a half hours later
<Junky_LaFord> [comm] Captain! There be a generator here!
* Spiderbot visits medbay 
* Waitstate looks up from his prone position in the bridge command chair
<Waitstate> [comm] You'd better not be kidding me
<Junky_LaFord> [comm] Just call me a miracle worker!
* Chameleon still lies on the bridge floor, still invisible 
<Waitstate> [comm] I'll call you whatever you want if that thing works!
* Waitstate exits the bridge for the medbay
<Stardrive> *to Wait* I adjusted Junky's translator a bit... It relies heavily on Star Trek... which seems fitting... though the wrong character for his look... hehe.
<Meteor> Ayreon and Cyrstalline's vitals are almost finished. I'd give them maybe two hours at most
* Waitstate enters Medbay
* Junky_LaFord activates the generator
<Waitstate> Deactivate Ayr and Crystalline's stasis chaimbers
* a puff of smoke eminates from the generator
<Junky_LaFord> Blasted thing...
* Junky_LaFord opens the lid, makes an adjustment and closes it
* The generator humms happily
* Meteor hesitantly opens the chambers
<Meteor> I'd rather get Restore active before anyone else.....
<Stardrive> See? I told ye.
<Waitstate> Might as well... it should have a blanket effect anyway
<Waitstate> Get the repair systems online though. They likely all have severe systemic damage. 
<Meteor> alright, whenever you're ready Junky....
<Junky_LaFord> Aye Laddie.
* Cham awakens and slowly gets up and moves for medbay 
* Meteor scans the bots.
* Junky_LaFord pushes a button and it humms louder.
<Junky_LaFord> We have full power.
<Meteor> the plague has begun to receed, slowly, it should pick up pace over the next 30mins. their self repair systems are active. we should find the other crew on the ship and get them in the same way
* Cham arrives in medbay 
<Waitstate> how large of an area does the field cover?
<Meteor> if Junky can set up a booster pack... it could cover the whole ship...
<Chameleon> I hope you found the cure for this thing, cos being stuck like this is getting to me.
* Waitstate jumps at the sudden voice
* Meteor looks around at....nothing...
* Junky_LaFord_ gets to work.
* Blacknife dreams a little dream
* Spiderbot moves over to where the voice was 
<Chameleon> over here, I'm stuck like this
* Junky_LaFord finishes...
<Junky_LaFord> There... put this on the bridge and we should have the ship covered from stem ta' stern.
* Junky_LaFord hands a portable generator to Wait.
<Waitstate> uh, thanks..
* Junky_LaFord tends to the damaged.
* The camera pans out, staying focused on the crew repairing their compatriots in medbay. The screen fades to black.
* Next time, on LONAC: Though a cure has been found and has been sent to all who could recieve it, billions are still dead. In the aftermath of the largest plague ever to hit known space, how will LONAC survive? 
* The End
