((Guest Rooms, Deck 47, Indulgence of Chocolate-Coated Jama’haron))
Zerva: ::to Richard:: If your Tricorder is working, see if you can modify it to open the door using the scanner to locate the locking mechanism. ::to Ras:: See that computer terminal on the wall? I’ll need you to use that as the bridge between us. We’ll tri-coordinate, using the terminal to help override the doors locks, while the Tricorder locates the problem. I’m monitoring from here. ::adds the computer terminal to the same link as the PADD and Tricorder:: Cross your fingers this will work.
Matthews: All brilliant plans of action you beautiful spotted man you. Which I would have done without bugging you and Ras if I had power. Right now I could open the doors to the rooms on either side of me. Which would be a fun way to prank a neighbor if I knew them. :: Richard paused and then laughed :: Too bad we’re on a space ship or I could, like, climb out over a balcony and come in through another person’s room.
Ras shook his head in the affirmative.
El’Heem: That’s…not actually a b- nevermind. So what? Is the door hermetically sealed?
Zerva: ::eyes rolling:: Yes I know you told us there isn’t any power to the locks, which is why I’m hoping our link can give your Tricorder a boost so we can locate it and override it without any power. Think of it like a manual overdrive, that doesn’t require power on the part of the lock itself, but power from another source.
Matthews: Since the system is down, there’s no way to link up to the locks. My room is dead for all intents and purposes. If there was power we could connect to the locks and open them. Then in theory, Ras our resident he-man could get the doors open, I’d swoon a little, we’d go get ice cream. :: More to himself Richard muttered :: I’d camp out on the main cruise deck by the pool and never risk getting stuck in one of these little rooms again.
oO I like Ice Cream. Oo
Quentil: Maybe if you had a Tricorder on this end, you’d have better results?
Zevra: ::beat to Quentil:: I’m a security officer, not an engineer or a scientist. If you think you can do better good sir, be my guest. ::steps back:: Maybe your PADD can help us? Hang in there Richard! We’re moving as fast as we can.
Matthews: Ezra, buddy, can you phaser the door open? I’ll swoon for you instead of Ras. :: Richard knocked on the door with his knuckle ::
Phasers were absolutely off the table! There was no way that was happening.
Zerva: Are you double dipping your swooning on us both? Really Richard? I don’t realize how much of a Riker you were.
El’Heem: No need to swoon for either of us. We’re doing this because we have to, not because we want to.
Matthews: Aww Ras don’t be like that, you’re still pretty.
Ezra tired not to snicker.
Matthews: Okay, I’m going to . . . respectfully request that we speed up the rescue attempt. Someone give my guy a phaser so Ezra can cut me out of here. Now.
Richard had been asking them to hurry ever since they got here. They had been trying their best. Richard was getting worse by the minute on his panic mode.
El’Heem: No phasers. ::to Ezra and Quentil:: so we cant manually open it and we can’t even get into the system to access the door. Next plan.
Zerva: ::rolling his eyes:: Is that all you see me as Richard? The phaser guy? I do a lot more than just shoot things you know? You’re getting more hysterical by the minute.
Matthews: I’m not hysterical, you guys just arn’t . . . sterical enough. Ugh prophets help me. Okay, okay, Hey! Quentil was it? Is there a vent I can crawl out of?
oO Sterical enough? Is that even a word? Oo
Quentil: :: Look at his padd then up in worry at the door :: I . . . no. The vents are not actually big enough for people to crawl around in. This isn’t a holovid.
Matthews: Any hole is big enough to crawl around in if you’re brave enough.
Zerva: Do you really want to know how a replicated TV dinner feels like?
oO Come to the Indulgence, we’ll get together and have a few laughs. Oo
Quintal: That doesn’t even make any sense. Look just hold on. Engineering will be here in a moment. You and your friend can hold on a little longer in there yeah?
Matthews: :: After a long pause :: Sorry come again?
Ezra and Ras’s eyes snapped up and over at Quentin. Did they hear that correctly?
Quentil: I’m sorry I didn’t mean to sound rude. But you and the other person in there can hold on a little longer right?
Matthews: :: Looking around the room :: I’m the only one in here.
Quentil: I’m showing two occupants in the room right now. And the room is registered to a Richard Matthews and Rindar Maryu. I’m assuming Mr. Maryu is with you right now.
El’Heem: Aww come on Richard. Maryu? He’s far too smart for you. And when were you going to tell us about this little ::beat:: fling?
Zerva: ::hurt tone:: Are you cheating on me with one of my own security guys Richard? Really?
Matthews: Ras, Ezra, Please, not even joking. Get me out now some how.
Zerva: ::firmly:: We’ve been trying. ::taking a breath:: You know we will get you out. I promise.
El’Heem: Alright so you got a room with a big handsome security officer. Big whoop. We’ll get you out. Quentil, what are our options because your engineering crew is taking too long and this is becoming a matter of Starfleet business. Doubtful you want your name on the report when Starfleet submits a formal complaint on how you treat your guests.
Quentil: :: Looking between the door and the other officers :: Okay, please don’t panic, there are escape options in the event of system failure. If passengers are unable to get to the decks with the escape pods there are EV suits. But I’m sure it’ll be okay to wait. If no one is in there with you. It’s most likely a malfunction for my system.
El’Heem: Right. We’ll take it from here, you’re dismissed. Okay Richard, hope you don’t mind a serene little space walk. I need you to find the EV suit for decompression. Think I saw it in the coat closet when I was looking through my room. Ezra, pick one of these rooms on either side and see if we can get whoever is staying there to cooperate. If not, Richard’s gonna have a much longer walk.
Zerva: Ras you better hope the room on my right is not a Ferengi Dominatrix in the middle of… well you know. I’m not here to judge anyone. Just saying.
Matthews: Response
Quentil: Please! I can’t allow you to manually trigger decompression. It’s against policy!
El’Heem: Oh really? What are you going to do? Call security? Maybe they’ll get here faster than engineering.
Zerva: ::waves:: Hi! Security Officer here! See? ::walks around Quentil:: I got here quicker. ::snicker::
Matthews: Response
Quentil: Okay! But at least don’t disturb the other guests! This is outrageous.
El’Heem: Where’s the nearest airlock then? Do something useful for once, please. Richard, you got the suit on?
Matthews: Response
Zerva: ::to Quentil:: I’ve got Zero G EV suit Operation training. I’ll accept any risk. If something bad happens it’s on me and I’ll take the heat for it. You can even call my Captain. Got it?
Quentil: Okay! ::nervous:: I just hope I don’t lose my job over this.
Zerva: ::beat:: If you do, there’s always Starfleet. It’s not just a job, it’s an adventure! You’ll get to do all kinds of cool stuff after you graduate from the Academy. Like how to not open a cruise line guest room door!
Quentil: ::rolls his eyes:: Sounds like loads of fun.
El’Heem / Matthews: Response
Zerva: ::beat:: We’re a swell bunch! ::smiles:: Okay Richard, once you’ve got your suit fully sealed we’ll take it from here. Because the powers out, you’ll have to force open your window manually and then use it to get out. There should be an override in there somewhere right?
El’Heem / Matthews: Response
Zerva: ::to Quentil:: Now about that airlock?
Quentil: Nearest airlock? Oh right, there’s one three floors down. They don’t want any guest accidentally using one. It’s at the security checkpoint emergency access hatch next to the ships laundry room. ::eyes the door to Richard’s room:: Guys I really think there has to be a better way to do this?
El’Heem / Matthews: Response
Zerva: ::beat:: Good news Quen! You’ll be the example in their updated rulebook on what not to do in the event this ever happens again. You might even get an award for helping to save Richard’s life. It’s worth ::quick thinking:: At least two ice cream cones right Richard?
El’Heem / Matthews: Response
