[The voice sounds slightly echoy, like he's inside a small area - it's probably because he is, rooting through the vents and whatnot.]

Hey crew, this is Clarke.

If you haven't seen any of the Engineering crew in the last couple days, it's because we're still rooting around trying to solve the current problem. We're working on isolating the cause still - there's a lot to go through - but we're starting to miss some equipment too. I'm counting at least one hand-saw, a few sets of cutting pliers, two impact tools, and a couple of welding tools. You see anyone with those, security, let me know - it might be a scavenger's paradise down here, but we need to keep the tools in one place.

That said, I'd like to remind everyone while we're in emergency power not to panic. We're not going to die, the ship has a lot of reserve power that give us more than enough time to isolate the issue. It may be fairly chilly, but everything's stabilized and it's just a matter of finding the issue so we can get everything back online.

That said keep an eye out, seems like things are getting a little odd around here again. Stick to groups or pairs, and keep an eye on the vents.

Clarke out.

[ you know who else is in a vent? sulu. and if he looked any less impressed something might catch fire. ]

They're missing equipment down in shuttle bay too. If someone's hitting departments we need to get the Security team on it.

[HE KNOWS THAT FEEL BRO, he definitely does not like ventwork. But it's a job needing done.]

While it's certainly the least of our worries right now, it's something we should get a hold of before it gets worse. I don't know what they need with those tools, but I know from experience that Engineering tools aren't hard to turn into something worse.

Great.

[ more good news. ]

We missing anything crucial?

Nothing that we don't have spares of, but the fact it's missing is troubling all the same, I feel.

Just keep an eye out, the next time you're outside the vents. There technically shouldn't be any non-Engineering crew in the bay right now, but you can never be too sure.

No evidence of a hull breach, so there's that at least.

[but this stuff going missing? put two and two together and that isn't looking like a happy coincidence.]

You guys want an extra set of hands? I'm not getting anywhere with the cabins from the passenger quarters. [maybe he'll have better luck down there.]

Edited 2012-10-28 17:30 (UTC)

Small blessings, Kirk. [AT THIS POINT HE'S EXPECTING ONE.]

We can use all the help we can get, right now. You're technically on the Gunnery crew, right? You should be able to get in here reasonably, provided you don't bump into Resnik.

She's... not happy, to say the least. [But when is she ever is the unasked question.]

Have you seen her down there?

Fuck.

[ tell us how you really feel carolyn ]

Yeah, fuck about sums up the current status report.

[Really that's what he wanted to say. Just come on, say "fuck, tools are missing", and cut out. But someone has to be the Engineer team's face.]

I didn't miss this bullshit.

[ She knows the feeling, Isaac. ]

Anything missing that could patch up some space suits?

A hand saw and cutting pliers?

They didn't take anything they couldn't wield, so yeah, a hand saw's gone missing.

Edited 2012-10-30 02:21 (UTC)

Not that I'm an expert or anything but that pretty much sounds like the exact opposite of promising.

That's just petty, stealin' stuff like that during an emergency.

If we run short, I've got some spares in my tool box.

Petty's one word for it.

I don't think we'll run short anytime soon - at least on the tools front. Hands on deck... might be a bigger issue.

Nothin' we can do about that, except double-down with the folks we have. Nobody's slacking, anyway.

We'll figure this out. Missing tools or no.

Strange things to take. However, I'll be certain to keep an eye out for the missing items.

[She's really not bothered by the state of emergency, or by the drop of temperature. Feels normal, actually.]

Thanks. I know the shuttle bay's missing some gear too. Might be some sort of correlation - might not. Something to consider.

Would be a terrible coincidence if they weren't related. The way this place works, I wouldn't put it past that.

A-a-are you sure it's enough power? What if the main engines are broken for good?!

According to our Chief Engineer, we've got enough power for a full... whatever counts for Earth here cycle. A full year's worth, in other words. I imagine if worse comes to worse and we can't get the engines to start up in a couple of weeks, we'll probably be pulling hands to work on a jury-rigged system to get non-essential systems back online or cycle them out depending on what we need.

Hopefully it won't come to that, however.

Oh man...first we're on a spaceship, and now we're on a spaceship with broken engines...

Why the vents? What would we be watching out for?

Anything. Vents are damn scary things. If something knew how to travel by the vent system, you never know where it could strike.

[Isaac does not like vents.]

[ Isaac is starting to not like them now, too. ]

Do you think something's gone airborne?
