TSO 2: Reclaiming the Odyssey

Waiting out the salvage ships and moving to a good orbit takes over half an hour so Adonis accompanies Alandra to the cargo bay. Looking around they see no one in the large room but both recall that there are also 2 smaller storage rooms for food and ship supplies towards the back of the ship. See map on ship sheet

Alandra makes her way to the storage rooms and soon finds Krom.

As Adonis and Alandra greet their new / old crewmate Sam starts preparing to finish clearing the major ship systems of the computer virus and security lock-outs as Stinger finishes positioning the ship into a stable orbit with a good safety margin while the engines will be offline.

Helping the large Tyranax to the medbay Alandra performs a preliminary scan reveals that they have suffered near fatal wounds as well as the same infection that afflicts the rest of the crew. Once in the medbay and into the treatment tank Krom quickly falls back to sleep and a deeper scan reveals multiple trauma, including dehydration and near starvation, that will require hours of treatment to fully recover.

Under Sam's directions several of you work to finish purging the computer virus from all systems while others scour the ship from prow to stern. Working for a bit over 2 hours you settle back now with a clean and factory default ship save a few problems. Gathering together with the now much recovered Krom in the recreation room you take stock.

Only the recreation, which is completely isolated form the rest of the ship systems, still holds the virus room which is now acting as archive and investigation center for the last 6 weeks. Other than that you find you are unable to access the captains and officers quarters. Both the starboard cargo bay doors and air locks have been patched to cover forced entry breaches and will requires extensive metal work, mechanical repair, and electronic replacements before either will work. The shuttlebay is empty and shows signs of some tampering on the doors and egress, which you figure was used to access the area then leave the ship without the captains permission.

Though the ship has no real internal sensors save the cameras, microphones, and motion, and other basic sensors in the public areas and at key point, Alandra is now able to tie those in with the life support sensors and has been able to determine that the only other life sign is actually coming from the captains room. The life signs are odd and is is suspected that the captain is in a personal stasis chamber similar to the emergency capsules several of you were in.

Most of the time is spent working on repairing systems but you have a few minutes between tasks to set up a basic diagnostics and repair routine on the recreation room system and it chugs away while you work.A couple other personal logs, still somewhat scrambled, reveal the initial days of ship life seemed normal enough

Now that all the systems have been cleared and reset Stinger sets a simple autopilot program. Adonis configures a stealth profile and enables multiple basic sensor alerts to sound ship wide. Let me know if you want to activate the holo emitters as well and if you have any specific profiles you want the scanners to alert you on. Alandra starts a full internal medical scan. Note that while the automated systems are fairly reliably, they are not infallible. Ex: any station not manned can be overcome by a standard NPC Test Krom explains to the other how to set a few basic weapons profiles and performs a basic targeting diagnostic to ensure the weapons system in fully integrated with ship sensors properly.

Sam is able to firewall but not clean the recreation rooms' entertainment system. Once the EWIS ai finished it's analysis of the virus you can scan the infected records. In the meantime with the firewall in place you it should be good enough to let Alandra shift through the jumble of logs manually or use a search algorithm to try and start sifting the records.

Heading to the captains quarters Sam is slightly surprised to find after factory security measures installed on both doors to the captain's suite. The only way in is physically breaching the doors. The tools in engineering will allow this. With Stingers help you fetch the tools and dig into the walls to force the doors open. Sam is confident she can get the doors open but is not fully aware as the captain's suites security measures are not on her own or the ship records so does not know how they system might react. It is obvious however that the rooms have their own life support and while they draw power from the ship they also have their own power reserves. The doors are not yet open as Alandra and Adonis halt the work before Sam finishes their attempts to force entry
