TRAITS​	Cardassian Ship – Durable, uncomfortable, close, cramped and cheap. Thinks creature comforts are for other people and technical sophistication is for people who haven't spent decades starving to death. The fact that the starving could have been avoided if the government were less...you know, monstrous doesn't seem to have occurred to that many of them. Okampan Crew – the crew are bright, perky, cheerful, and incredibly psychically powerful. Individually, they're all better than Vulcans, and as a gestalt? Who knows!

[X] Try to shield the Val Jean and ourselves, projecting a shield bubble through the main deflector, reinforced by aligning our shield harmonics to resonant frequencies.

 

[DracoDracul]

[X] Head into the shockwave at maximum warp, counting on the spatial deformation to carry you through and deflect the blast.

 

[DragonCobolt]

It's coming at us at what speed?

Because if the shockwave is moving at warp 4, my vote will be different than if it's moving warp 9.9

Click to shrink...

It's going at "very fast" speeds that will be determined by rolling dice if you try to evade!

Like, spoilers, all options are "roll dice to see what happens", it just adjusts the possible downsides or upsides based off good rolls, and which precise numbers are roll!

All right! That's gonna be a 3d20, with the last d20 being Structure+Security (which is the "shields fuckery" combo!)

 

[samdamandias]

Anyone else think that there's some cryptic and hidden message undecipherable by mortal minds here?

Click to shrink...

Nah.

No hidden messages there( youdidthisyoudidthisyoudidthisyoudidthisyoudidthis)

also rolling!

HOT DAMN

samdamandias threw 3 20-faced dice. Total: 4

 

[bigking321]

We roll those right?

Here goes.

Edit: Ah well. Almost in time.

Edit 2: Low is good right? Holy crap nice rolls.

 

[DragonCobolt]

That's 6 successes! GJ!

 

[Burnsworthy]

QUEUEUEUEUEUEUE! (Or is it 'QQQQQQQ!'?)

He had better not take credit for this.

 

[Skippy]

Our mastery of Treknobabble saves the day!

(Hopefully. 😅)

Tuvok reacted immediately. "Project our shield ahead of us through the deflector dish, using harmonic frequencies matched to-"

"Done!" Amy said, her fingers flying along her console. "Punch it, C'nola!"

C'nola thumbed down a few buttons and the entirety of Voyager shuddered faintly. The Val Jean slowed and banked to float before them as a glittering triangle of white energy appeared before the ship, a shockwave that met the incoming curve of the concussion rushing towards them. The two met and there was an audible crackling buzz - and then the wave broke, sweeping past both ships harmlessly. The wave kept going, past them, and they were left unharmed.

Tuvok arched an eyebrow. "Excellent work, Lt. Strong, Lt. C'nola."

"I don't actually have a rank," C'nola said, leaning back. "I'm not even wearing a uniform."

Tuvok took a second look and while she was wearing a red jacket, it wasn't actually a Starfleet uniform.

He frowned. "I see."

***
​

The world was dead. A grayish pallor, the result of what seemed to be planet consuming firestorms that had been extinguished only recently, shrouded the whole planet, and thick particulates saturated the lower atmosphere. What little could be seen through the layers was ruined wilderness and the occasional slagged city. Buildings melted. There was a thin and growing ring of ejecta that glowed in orbit, blown out of a chunk of the planet that had been forced into space by the strength of the detonation.

Tom whistled, softly, while Janeway - who had come to the bridge as soon as they had tracked down the source of the explosion - shook her head.

"Any lifesigns?" She asked.

"Microbes, and even they're on their way out," Tom said, softly.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"My readings say that that shockwave was primarily made of tachyons," Amy said. "This kind of detonation is analogous with a massive warp drive failure, or an antimatter containment system going...bad." She frowned. "But we had detected no subspace traffic around this planet."

"Species do sometimes make unexpected and intuitive leaps. Technology is not a straight line, Lieutenant," Tuvok said.

"So, they built something big and complicated and blew themselves up," C'nola said. "...that sucks, we move on?"

"Not quite yet," Janeway said. "This species was wiped out...I don't want them to be forgotten. Starfleet has prevented extinction time and again - every time we fail, we owe it to the people we couldn't help to not forget them. I want an away mission prepped and ready to be sent down there. We're looking for cultural artifacts, maybe survivors our sensors can't find, and, finally, any resources that we can use. If the could do this, they may have dilithium crystals we can use."

Everyone nodded.

"Wacoche," Janeway said, tapping her combadge. "Take the high station, cloak. ANd keep an eye open for any vultures."

"Aye aye, Captain."

C'nola looked a bit subdued - as if she was realizing just how grim and gallows her words had been. She put her feet down and started to work with Tom to pierce through the cloud layers, looking for an area to land the away mission.

Well, Paris, you wanted to see if a date would work out...why not mix business with pleasure?

 

[CyberFemme]

Can we repeat our trick where we FTL away from the planet to outrun light then scan it to look at what happened immediately prior to the blast?

Probably a bad idea, due to the shockwave itself

[DragonCobolt]

Click to shrink...

Yes, but any answers to questions will be vague due to the fuzziness and range - it's not like you're as temporally close as you were to the Val Jean, you'll have to travel a few light days away to peer at this place, which means you will only get crude information.

(I.E, you will ask and I will tell you truthful but vague stuff!)

Probably a bad idea, due to the shockwave itself

Click to shrink...

Fortunately, the wave is going FTL, so it's not going to be an issue!

 

[Aura]

Also as far as voting goes I'd like Janeway to have a turn off the ship. But it is critical that tuvok personally proposes, entirely dispassionately, plan double date

 

[samdamandias]

Harry Kim

Click to shrink...

You're letting Harry Kim off the ship?

Do you want everyone to die and/or this turn out to be a stable time loop?

This is also really neat!

I like the idea of making use of the fact that we have more than one ship.
