Yep poor silly little me...  No idea what just happened...  Dams of earth do 
not boom when they let go...  they just sluff away.

"Woof! If you can hear me get the hell out of the valley, dam number one 
just let go and about ten billions litre's of water is taking the express 
route to the ocean.  If you can get a message out get those people out of 
the lowlands because we've got trouble, right here in river city."

Jezebel turns her horse about, "They've maybe got an hour before the water 
gets to the farmlands, maybe more, maybe less.  I'm going back to check the 
other dams."

With that she clicks the mike off and races back to the second dam.

"Jezebel!?  I got you, but you're thin and broken.  What happened?" Woof
calls.

"Kae Kahk Tsakha!  What of the other damns?" He shouts into the comm,
angling his horse towards higher ground if there is any around these

With that she clicks the mike off and races back to the second dam.

  "This is K'r'kaenrra, Emissary Lika.  The [name of river] is
flooding!  Someone damned the 3 @*#$& rivers above the 'gut' and the damns

Break the link and call the pack.  Basically say the same thing to whoever

Once I see what's going on here I'll try to reestablish contact with Woof.  
I doubt the damn dam is still standing but it's worth hoping...  If they 
don't all go at once maybe some of the water will have passed before the 
second wave hits.

Ricardo picks up. "Mae Lee, this is Captain O'Brien"

"Damn! Ok, we'll spread the alarm. I'll call you when I know more!"

Ricardo runs to the nearest terminal, puls up local Nav maps so he can 
give location data to the authorities. He dials the Starport security; 
they'll know who to call.

"Security, this is Captain O'brien of the Mae Lee.

I just recieved a distress call from one of my crew member at 
approximate location .

He has indicated that a dam of some sort has broken and a lot of water 
is headed towards 

He's from that area so he know's what he's talking about. You know who 
to call about this?"

He'll answer any questions.

Ricardo's flown to the ranch before...how far is it by the fastest route?

He hits the intercom. "All hands! All hands to the crew galley on the 
double!"

He heads there, if he's not already there.

Who shows up?

Shawn, wrapping up the dinner, is still in the galley kitchen.

He noted the urgency in Ricardo's voice and started shutting down the heat on
anything still cooking and storing things back away.

When Ricardo comes in, Shawn is busy putting things up in the galley.

"What's happening? We going to run somewhere or boost?"

"We're probably boosting in the Walk. Woof just called, some dams on the 
river above his folks place just burst. He and Jez are up there, Jez is 
trying to keep more from bursting.

"We may be pulling SAR duty at the very least, depending on how much

Mira's off in town somewhere."

He's at the terminal in there. "Jez pulled up some sursat shots of the

in to pull up the most recent sursat views of the area Woof and Jez are 
at. Real time would be REAL nice!

"I disagree. If SAR is in the coming, we need all the space we can get and that
means the /Mae Lee/ is a better choice. Lives will be in the balance so Mira
will need the sick bay. That and if we get shot at we can shoot back. It also
means that we have two vessels in the air when we get there. The ship can also
get there faster. Your call but if you choose just the Walk, we can't save as
many lives."

"You have more flair with the Walk so I submit that you are the best choice 
to fly her in an emergency."

Shawn hit his comm and called Mira.

When she answered, he will speak.

"Mira, we have a class one emergency breaking. We need you here asap and the
rest of the crew, if they are with you. The dam above the ranch has breached
and flooding is imminent. If you are not within a short distance, we will be
launching the Walk to pick you up priority."

Zeek walks in, "Did someone say burst?" Zeek gets some water and sits down.

works like a teleporter.  Yeah, thats the ticket.

OOG: No, not teleportation, precognition...in the player, not the PC.
How else could Erik have determined that Zeek would be back from the
park and walking into the galley when all this happened?

"What burst. Are we going to need to go out to dinner?" Cory asks. "Because I 
was thinking I've not tried those little sasuage shaped things with the 
creamy red sauce on them yet. Is Shawn going to be able to fix it?" he 
questions as he takes a seat.

"Does it require heavy lifting cause old Zeek here strikes me as very strong. 
Maybe he can do the lifting while I go pick up the food. That way when he and 
Shawn get this burst thing fixed we can have a good dinner all ready for them.

Looking at Shawn "Is there any caff left in that pot beside you?" he mouths 
quietly so as not to interrupt the phone call, pointing at the pot with his 
chin.

Ricardo nods. "You have a point. We'll need to coordinate with local
authorities anyway, so I'll ask them."

Ricardo overhears that. "If they're in town, they may well do better
getting here or contacting civil authority in this regard...landing 
areas for the 'Walk' are probably in short supply."

OOC> I have to keep reminding myself: Per Eris' description, the Walk is
a flying 2 bedroom ranch house, not a flying Chevy Suburban.

The Walk, a flying 2-bedroom ranch house, fits with ease in a small part
of the Mae Lee, which is a flying four story office building. Per the 
deckplans it is 48 meters long, and 18 meters wide. At 3.5 meters 
between decks, she is 14 meters high. 157 by 60 by 46 feet.

"Good plan. I'll get the ship ready to boost. File an emergency flight
plan."

If Kelly is there, Shawn spoke directly to him. If not, it is over the
speakers.

"Kelly, I need the Lee ready to boost in record time. We need to get
Mira and go save some lives. How long to prep her and can you prep the
Walk in flight?"

"Right. Ricardo just reminded me that landing spaces may be at a
premium. You need to break all speed records getting back here or find
us a clear landing zone with permission to get there."

"For space or atmospheric flight?" Kelly asks, "The Walk can go
anytime, but I'll need 30 minutes for the lady. It'll take that long
to unplug her from the Port services and fire up the fusion engines."

"I warn you, we're going to be sluggish as hell, Shawn." Kelly tells
you, "The tanks are filled with water that I've just started cracking,
and there's a hell of a lot more mass in H20 than in H2."

Shawn thought about the distances and times for each and answered with
the fastest.

OOC: Eris, I need to know about relative speeds to the area. The Walk,
the Lee loaded with water and the Lee with no water. Shawn would know.

OOC2: If it made more sense, he will recommend Ricardo boost with the
Walk now. If the ship would beat them there anyway, he will not. 

> "I warn you, we're going to be sluggish as hell, Shawn." Kelly tells
> you, "The tanks are filled with water that I've just started cracking,

"Break all speed records in getting off port services with Anspor. We
will dump the H2O as soon as we boost."

Shawn raced to the bridge and started bringing the ship's systems to
flight readiness.

OOC: It's going to take the Walk 30 to 40 minutes at best speed
regardless of whether it stays in the atmosphere or not.  Once the
/Mae Lee/ is ready to lift it's going to take another 30 to 40 minutes
for the ship. It's too close for boosting to orbit and then deorbiting
to help any over just going straight over in the atmosphere.

Arvitis is already on the bridge seated at the Sensor's Console,
"There's a *really* big storm northeast of us. It's going over the
mountain range up there and dumping a lot of rain. I'm seeing wind
sheer and tornadic activity."

"That's where we're going, right?" he says glancing over at Shawn.

"Right. A dam burst and is dumping a tidal wave right at a city and
Woof's folk's ranch."

He hit the comm. 

"/Mae Lee/ to port control. We just received word that a dam has burst
upland and we wish to boost our ships boat with the doctor asap and the
/Mae Lee/ herself as soon as we get our engines up for search and
rescue. Please advise."

Shawn belted into the pilot's seat and started bring systems from
standby to ready.

Maybe everyone is yelling through the intercom. Cory knows no one is making 
caff though so it could be just the echo caused from the empty pot

Mira is grateful she doesn't have the regn started yet.

ooc: can she delay without harming Bettik?

She grabs the comm and hollers to Ricardo, "I need Bettik's mother or a 
reasonable substitute if I'm leaving. I'm supposed to be doing his next 
round of regen *now*."

OOC: Yes, she can delay the second treatment for a day or two without
much difficulty. Bettik's leg could completely heal without further
treatment now. He still has scaring, especially on his face that needs
treatment, but that is *mostly* cosmetic.

IAC, I wanted to get the Ukanav post and Ricardo's answer before

"Roger that. We will advise you before we are ready to boost again.
Thanks."

He hit com to the /Walk/.

"Ricardo. The port has given us a go to boost. Make sure to contact them
before departure and they warn us that there is a huge storm with
cyclone activity directly there and advise we take steps to miss the
worst of it."

He also kept watch on the removal from port services.

He hit the com to engineering.

"I show full power, Kelly. Do you confirm?"

Shawn will step his way down the checklist and make sure that we are
ready to boost.

He hit the com to Anspor.

"Anspor, what is your status?"

Once all is disconnected and all are back aboard.

Shawn will call out on the all hands.

"All hands, this is the pilot. Please give me a head count of everyone
aboard."

He will see who, if anyone is missing.

If we are missing anyone that should be there he will com them and see
they get aboard if close by and inform them of the ship boost if not.
Seal the ship.

Once all is ready, he will contact port control and boost on their mark,
setting course for the city and once high enough, call Kelly.

"Dump the H2O, Kelly. We need the speed."

"Arvitis, keep an eye ahead and lets plot a good course to miss the most
dangerous parts of that storm."

OOC: I need a list of who's going with Ricardo.

Ricardo hops aboard the /Random Walk/ and starts powering up the
fusion plant. As the engines come up he is already running through the
pre-flight checklist.

Ukanav taps Ricardo on his shoulder and hands him his comm, "I think
they understand at Mutha now. 

Ukanav continues as he looks in the supply locker, "I told them it was
like a u'ka'raf, only it was coming down the river valley at the city.
At least, that got the gar'filka's attention."

"Hey! Captain, there's not much in here." Ukanav glances over at
Ricardo, "A box of instaheats and something called rescue balls..are
those rubber rafts?"

"We need rope and grapples and..." Ukanav is peering into the locker
then looks over at Ricardo again, "...and rifles, I think."

OOC: Yes, the rescue ball is airtight and has it's own air supply, so
it would work quite well as a, short term, lifeboat.

OOC: Yeah, Cory and Ukanav, but Ukanav got onto the comm and seems to
have *not* gone for ropes, et al. Cory, OTOH, sought out Zeek and
started talking about explosives. Mira is between the Galley and
Sickbay with an 8 year old in tow...ya'll have to resolve how you deal
with Bettik, Mira might not want to go with you and leave Bettik
unattended. IOW's it appears that Ricardo is trying to herd cats here.

The Navy hasn't told you to keep out of the way...you haven't actually
called them yet. Remember I said I wanted to delay that pending
whether you gave Ukanav the comm or not...you did, so he made his
call, and you never did.

In that case Ricardo says, instead. "In a pinch they will do. I'd feel 
better if we had some PJ's with us. I really hope we're not having to 
rescue lots of people out of the water. "

Sounds like a job for EDS....;-) I must remember to buy a whip. That 
will work.

Ok, lets rewind the tape here a bit...we're juggling about 72 scene 
fragments here and some of them are on fire.

After Ukanav is done talking to the Mutha police or whoever it was he 
was talking to, I take the comm back from him and say "Go to engineering 
and some rope, enough to use a cargo net as a drop load on the Walk. Do 
this now. If you see Cory on the way take him with you to help."

Then he calls the Navy...

OOC> Sheesh!

Afterwards he thinks to ask Mira if she gave Kilten a phone. If Mira 
isn't around, he'll call her on the comm.

"Mira, One. did Kilten take a fone with her? We'll need to find her. She 
wil freak out if she comes back, finds out about the flooding and then 
fionds out the ship, and her pup are gone.

OOC> The following depends on what the Navy says...

"Two. Are you coming with us in the Walk or staying with the Mae Lee? 
I'm boosting in the Walk as soon as we've got some stuff loaded on 
board. I'm at least taking Ukanav, Cory and Zeek."

Kilten'll be freaking...to put it mildly. I do *not* want to be around a 
Vargr mom freaking out. They have teeth. Jac! Jac can wait for her! He's 
got diplo training.

If Mira says Yes, Ricardo comms Jac. "Jac, please contact Kilten at 
######' Tell her to get back to the ship asap, that we're boosting in 30 
minutes."

OOC> Great, now Ricardo's running around with a cell fone glued to his ear.

Final OOC> Did you all catch the latest Free Fall 
http://www.purrsia.com/freefall/ ? I want to translate that into dog and 
show it to our puppy. That's pretty much how I get woken up these days...;-)

"Aye, aye, Captain!" Ukanav hustles off. He finds Cory asking Zeek
about explosives.

"Captain says for us to go to Engineering and get rope and a cargo
net." Ukanav says.

>Then he calls the Navy...

"Mark Navy Base, CPO Cortman speaking. How can I help you?"

To make the long conversation short, COP Cortman knows all about
floods coming from a river valley on Mark, so he puts you through to
the Base Commander, Captain McLeash. McLeash says he'll get Mark
assets to work on it, and will provide *you* with any assistance he
can. It's clear he is assuming you are going to help even before you
