Who: Crew of the S.S. Tourist + Visitors
Broadcast: N/A
Action: On the S.S. Tourist
When: Now, Drifting Week, through the month

[ Welcome, everyone, to the S.S. Tourist! Please enjoy your stay aboard out little ship - there's dinosaur meat courtesy of Allen and Sokka, at least four slugs (be careful, they're really Fenris' even if he won't say it), Winn's officially out of his comma, the coffee machine is behaving more or less (Kirk has poetry for you to sweet talk it if you need it). All aboard! ]

[ so many questions are pushing each other in and out of the spotlight. if it's not the atroma, who else had access to all their ships? how long have these devices been there? the last planet they were on was technologically primitive - or maybe that's just what they wanted them to think, so their guard would be down? he can't trace the cameras' signal back to its origin because he can't find the cameras, but can he trace this? the problem with that is to trace the signal he would have to leave it connected, and if jim's right then the moment the atroma see what he's up to they could pull the switch and leave them stranded. ]

If that's the objective, we need to check the shuttles, too. If this is meant to strand us, there'll be a kill switch on them too.

I think I can do that.

[And this is where Fenris' seniority helps a little. He's not used to being the one in the group to actually be able to offer helpful information. There's a first time for everything, he supposes. ]

There are others who have an interest in us. A group which have attacked the Fleet on two occasions now. The first they were fended off, with quite some damage to all the ships, how much depending on if they had shields, or the ability to fight back. The second time, they pushed us into a nebula, where we all lost power for a short time- which caused a few malfunctions to ships and augments for a while after that.

What is strange is when we were at our most helpless, they just...left. We have seen nothing of them since. It's been almost a year.

_{[ Kirk listened intently to Fenris and nodded quietly. Beverly had spoken of such attacks, but it was good to have another record of them from someone. He could practically hear the gears grinding in Winn's head and focused on that first and foremost. ]}

While Kara is locating it then, you and I will check the shuttles. Just in case.

Fenris, you know how to watch the monitors, right? All of this has me on edge, and I would prefer someone on the look out for something like that, no matter how remote the possibility of it happening. At least until we find the thing and shut it down.

Everyone clear on their roles?

[takingkarabusiness]

Got it.

[ and unless there's something else, she'll head out ]

[winn]

[ yeah those wheels are still turning because - how do they know those are other groups? how do they know that the atroma's weren't just trying to stir up whatever sick game they're playing by sending something after them? the fact that they backed off when they had their prey cornered just seems to prove that theory to him. the atroma want to mess with them, but not dispose of them.

not yet, anyway.

but he'll explore that problem later. right now, he's clear on his role. go check out the shuttles with jim.

nodding, he picks up his tools, and like kara unless there's something else - he'll head to check out the shuttles. ]

[It's okay, Winn, Fenris will answer all your questions succinctly and grouchily. For now, he inclines his head, showing he understands. Besides, being close to the screens means he'll be close to the ship's defence systems- should the worst happen. ]

I'll let you know if I see any changes.

_{[ Kirk nodded as Kara left and did the same to Fenris to show he was dismissed to attend his assigned duties. To Winn he said - ]}

Winn, dig up anything you can. We mostly have reports from other ships, so I'm not expecting much, but the more information the better. I'll do the same so we can tackle this thing quick when Kara finds it.

Everyone be prepared to convene on Kara's location when she locates it.
