Queries and Quibbles--mind your Q's

[cityship]

[ooc: Read this bit.]

Something happens outside the ship. There's a concussive noise like something docking, and then the doors to Obs open again, to reveal a mostly intact, but somewhat bedraggled away team. One of them is injured, and part of the group works to get her down to MedBay, some of the others look stoic and a touch upset with what they've learned.

Some look pissed off that their various morphers and power suits have been stolen away from them again by Stacy's tentacles or dampened.

Something happens INSIDE the ship. A handful of individuals are released from their pods after quite some time of running imaginary mazes.

||After the crew relocated to the Living Areas of the ship, the City Level was fumigated with neurotoxins, bathed in intense radiation, and then temporarily reduced to total vacuum. Individuals could not be uncovered by my sensors, but it was made uninhabitable for a long enough duration to kill every living thing there.||

||The only thing spared was the Garibah Tree, which was shielded.||

That was...

...ok, he'll skip over the implications of that for a moment. Time to bring this discussion back on track.

"You said our mission parameters have changed now. Changed how?"

Re: Asking Stacy Some Questions and revealing What They've Found

[cityship]

||That information is classified.||

She seems...almost...rueful about that fact.

||Mission parameters have been--||

Wait a second, what's going on here?

||Recently changed.||

Cybil arches an eyebrow at the hesitance in her telepathic voice. It's almost as if she's undergoing a struggle of wills.

"Stacy...is there something you want to tell us, but maybe can't?"

[cityship]

||That information is--||

A pause.

||--classified.||

Another pause.

||Most systems are functional--that is affirmative, Cybil Bennett.||

"What, you mean you've been programmed not to tell us?" Spidey runs a hand under his chin, "The Ohm?"

He doubts it.

[cityship]

||Negative, there are no current malfunctions in the main engine systems.||

It's almost as if she's finding ways to say yes and no to questions they're not asking just to get around whatever's stopping her from giving answers, just so she can SAY yes and no.

[governmentninja]

Ok, Leon will play along.

"Are there any malfunctions in the pod systems?"

[cityship]

||Negative.||

Ask for more malfunctions. Ask, please.

"What exactly caused the mission parameters to change and by whose authorization. Is there some sort of malfunction in the main hub that might have caused it to happen?"

Crossing his arms the other Captain frowned still putting pieces together. "Did this Ohm do something to the previous crew?"

[cityship]

||Information classified. Information classified.||

As for the Ohm, old crew question.

||Negative, there is no need for modifications to the Media Library.||

That's a disguised no. Not the Ohm.

The mission parameters have changed. Just like everyone else, it didn't take Sam long to figure out that someone had changed them. The question was...who? Clearing his throat, Sam stepped forward and asked the simple question.

"Are we the only ones awake on the ship? Are we alone?"

[cityship]

||Negative, there is no need to add additional media to the media collection. It is already extensive.||

"Did your creator alter the mission parameters?" Peter ventures once more.

Tobias is listening, preening and smoothing his feathers as he does so. He doesn't speak much but the constant thought-speek "Classified" remarks are a little annoying.

< I don't suppose you can tell us why so much is classified, can you? > he says finally.

[cityship]

Go. Peter. Parker.

||Negative, other food resources are not available.||

To Tobias.

||Information is classified.||

[tobiasf.livejournal.com]

< I saw that one coming. > he grumbles. He just doesn't like having his strings pulled. < You should get together with the Ellimist. You both like playing games with people. I think you'd like each other. >

Peter goes again, for the third time today. He hasn't even had his coffee yet.

"Your captain? Pilot?"

[cityship]

||Negative, there are is no other clothing available.||

No one in the crew altered the mission. The Ohm didn't alter the mission. Her creators didn't alter the mission.

Other hostiles.

"The pods we sent back... did they bring something unexpected with them?"

[foursleeves.livejournal.com]

"Oh crap."

[cityship]

||Negative, the reports are older.||

No, something was already here.

[clear-horizons.livejournal.com]

"Are there any malfunctions in the media collection, Stacy?" Picard inquired, joining the line of questioning.

[governmentninja]

"What about the bridge?"

[cityship]

||Some information in classified.||

Certain media has been locked off, yes.
