=/\= Deck 12, section 4-A =/\= The conduit sparked defiantly as plasma flowed through it. Its gel packs glowed a deep amber, their internal circuitry shorted. A small quantum regulator lodged between two ailing gelpacks quivered as the energy ran back and forth through it in an eternal suicidal loop. A tricorder began to beep loudly as it picked up the scent of the damage. Cdt. Kryton motioned the rest of the group to his position, and pointed to the source of the disturbance. One of the officers carefully removed the conduit cover, jumping back as sparks flew out. The group looked at each other then the conduit, stunned and silent. Finally Dallas spoke, "Thats it? The whole damn ship was brought to its knees by a regulator?" Kryton frowned "It was sabatoge!" He kneeled down infront of it, and began to pull out his tools. "Stop, dont touch it" Xenai commanded, and Kryton froze. "Somebodies gotta fix it, and somebody better do it fast" he groaned, giving her a look that could melt flesh. "Hey, she's right" Ensign Dallas cut in, "We gotta get security up here, we gotta know who did this." Xenai nodded, and smiled at Kryton's annoyance. "Go put on some gloves, and go about it very carefully." She then turned to Dallas, "Call Security, and inform Idrani about what we found, tell him it should be fixed within the hour" Dallas nodded, and started to tap his combadge, then paused. "One thing i still dont understand though, Why didnt sensors pick it up?" Xenai thought for a moment, then looked down at the conduit. "Its all numb thats why!" Kryton announced. "They used a goddamn aneasthetic, a pretty standard one too," "I never did trust doctors" Dallas scowled, and the whole group laughed. "look up here" Kryton continued, pointing to the EPS grid sensors. "Somebody fused the relays, and rerouted the sensor recievers, the computer was completely oblivious to the whole thing" Xenai raised an eyebrow, "This was very well thought out" "That, or we're all pretty dim" Kryton chuckled. "We better get a move on it before security kicks us out, and the whole ship goes to hell" Dallas smiled, and punched Kryton lightly on the arm. "Get moving!" =/\= END LOG =/\= Ensign Xenai Alshain AEO USS Chimera & Ensign Carter Dallas AEO NPC USS Chimera
