CSO_Danann says:
@ ::flicks around with her tricorder, opening and closing it without realising what she's doing::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::sighs angrily, looking at the painfully slim sensor focus the Scimitar manages::

CIV_Benson says:
*Dref*  Cmdr, this is Ens. Benson in TIC

TO_DuPont says:
@::hands the phasers and tricorders over to the CSO::  CSO: Please hand these out, the phasers are set on stun! ::Sits down at the flight console and plots a course to the Miz'nareal::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::shoots an irritated look at Naimh::

EO_Leasha says:
@::hunts through her tool box realising she left her lucky spanner back on the ship:: Self: Typical

MO_Hixxan says:
::enters Sickbay and goes to sort out a cabinet::

Taq`Fan says:
::turns to the SO on his way out::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::doesn't notice, is staring blankly at the opposite wall::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Sits in front of the conn, he checks the shuttle monitors for brief moments before changing to the flight plan screen:: All: Do you all remember your duties for this assignment, or do I have to repeat them?

Taq`Fan says:
SO: Certainly... report to my quarters in about an hour.

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan:  yes sir

Taq`Fan says:
::wriggles ridges and exits in the TL::

CMO_Varesh says:
@CSO: Something on your mind?

SO_K`Nargh says:
::walks onto the bridge and looks for the CTO::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Sighs as he hears the communication, he shakes his head and glances up:: *CIV*: What is it now?

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: I think so ::smiles:: well I get to shut something down Sir

CMO_Varesh says:
@Dref: Commander, what is my reason for being here. As far as I remember, there is nothing medical related on this mission.

CIV_Benson says:
*Dref*: Make sure you all have a continuous datastream straight to TIC for  processing and study

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::looking between the tactical and science sensors, frown deepening:: Self: Damned Starfleet junk.

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::looks up and stops fiddling with the tricorder:: CMO: Hmmm?

XO_Black says:
::glancing at the viewscreen again, noticing the size of the vessel::  Self: I sure hope I send enough people to do the job....

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Need help sir?

TO_DuPont says:
@::activates the shuttles tactical systems and scans the Miz'nareal looking for any lifesign's or any power signatures::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@CMO: You can ask your XO after we'll finish the assignment, now, do you have a check list ready for me to review?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*CIV*: Understood, AT out.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: Gets up from his desk and enters the bridge ::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::carefully removes the tricorder from her hands:: CSO: You're fiddling with that instrument is driving me insane.

ENV_Heaton says:
::moves to another console to check some things out::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::flashes a hard gaze at the Klingon, then nods curtly:: SO: I could, yes. I don't know how they expect me to work in this soup. Can't see anything out there.

EO_Leasha says:
@::leans back on her chair and hums quietly to herself::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: well I have been assigned to help you figure out how to detect the ships in this "soup"

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Sighs, he raises his voice:: All: I asked, do you all know what our orders are?

XO_Black says:
::sees the Captain enter the bridge and moves to his own seat::  CO: The away team's shuttle is just underway Sir.. all things appear to be ok...

CMO_Varesh says:
@::looks at Dref:: Dref: Commander, I was told to be on the away team, but not why, so I can't have a checklist for you. I'm guessing I'm here to make sure all of you don't die or something.

CIV_Benson says:
::looks over at the TAC officer::  ENS:  get all the information you can about this system and this nebula

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Sir I answered you

MO_Hixxan says:
::goes over to Cortical Simulator to make sure it is working properly.. laughs quietly to himself as he thinks that just last week he presumed he was finished with level 5 diagnostics::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::REB slightly:: SO: I see. ::steps back a little from his console:: Help away.

ENV_Heaton says:
::looks at sensors::  Self: strange........

TO_DuPont says:
@Dref: Sensors detect no life signs what so ever, the ship is barely functioning on minimum power

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Very well... :: sits :: How is there progress?

EO_Leasha says:
@::hears the TO and hopes that means things will be easily shutdown::

XO_Black says:
*CIV*: Mr Benson, what's the ETA of the shuttle...?

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::leans over and has a look at her sensor console:: Dref: Commander, I’ve rescanned the vessel... we have breathable air...but not control over the temperature, and.. ::looks again:: I’m detecting quite a lot of micro fractures on the exterior and interior...

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Thank you sir.....

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: "I need to shut something" is not proper answer. Now, do you know what is it that you need to power down? ::Nods at the TO::

CIV_Benson says:
*XO*: 5 minutes sir

SO_K`Nargh says:
::steps up to the console::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::looks up at CMO:: CMO: Oh...sorry... ::rather quietly::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::shifts to the side and uses a display to monitor the LIDAR readings in the meantime, opening a channel:: *CIV*: Tactical to TIC.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::taps a command into his EVA suit and links all the others into a datastream back to the ship and a readout on the PADD on his suit's arm::

XO_Black says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged..   CO: They're 5 minutes out.... I'm sure Commander Dref is adequately prepared...

ENV_Heaton says:
CIV: Sir, sensors show some strange readings on the Miz'nareal, there is Life support, but no control of heat......

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref:: yes Sir propulsion ect. transfer any info over if I can break into their systems .. or someone else .... ::smiles:: And have a good look around I hope as well Sir

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: how do they expect us to find anything in this?

CIV_Benson says:
::goes over the program for the data transmission from the away team::  *XO*: And we are ready down here to process the data from the away team

XO_Black says:
*CIV*: Nicely done Ensign, keep us informed.....

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::smiles a little:: SO: I've been saying that all morning. This is *not* a good place to conduct an operation like this.

MO_Hixxan says:
::does a series of checks on the cortical stimulator, and then checks it off on the duty PADD...    Varesh wasn't around very long, so Jau find himself really "winging" what to do.::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Does another tactical scan of the surrounding area, knowing its properly futile because of the nebula::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Well....we have to figure something out

EO_Leasha says:
@::wonders when they will get there as she itching to get on this ship::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::keeps scanning the ship and the space around it, biting her lip, trying to remember not to fiddle::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Scan comes back with negative results, leans back and drums his fingers on the console::

SO_K`Nargh says:
self: This is going to be impossible

CMO_Varesh says:
@::leans back in the chair and waits for the shuttle to dock with the alien ship::

CIV_Benson says:
:the TAC officer gives his report to Ens. Benson that everything is pretty much standard with the star system::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::looks over at the TO and smiles, hoping he's as nervous as she is about this...but decides he's probably never been nervous in his life::

XO_Black says:
::glances at the SO and CTO working and turns back to the viewscreen::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Nods at the EO:: All: This is how we're going to do things. ::Turns to the TO:: TO: Retrieve all weapons and relevant technology. ::Turns to the CMO:: CMO: You'll retrieve logs and computer systems, you may use the EO if you require any help. ::Turns to the EO:: Assist the CMO, in addition disable propulsion systems, ship weapons systems, tactical systems, and computer systems ::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: And lastly, you'll be shutting down life support, lock down all systems for future retrieval.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::looks over at the Klingon::  SO: What exactly is it about this area that's limiting our sensors? Would sensor relay buoys help?

ENV_Heaton says:
CIV: Sir?

CIV_Benson says:
TTO: Ok but keep scanners listing out there,  you never know when something will try to sneak in

Cmdr_Dref says:
@All: Do we all understand our roles?

CMO_Varesh says:
@::nods:: Dref: Aye, sir.

CIV_Benson says:
ENV: Yes  ::looking over at ENV::

ENV_Heaton says:
CIV: Sir, sensors show some strange readings on the Miz'nareal, there is Life support, but no control of heat......

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: I'm not quite sir, but we can try the relay buoys to see if it helps

TO_DuPont says:
@Dref: Aye Sir

XO_Black says:
::glances at the CO::  CO: Captain, with the size of that vessel I hope they can do the job correctly... especially with the few people assigned to the away team..  ::looks slightly concerned::

EO_Leasha says:
@Cmdr Dref: not a problem Sir

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::nods crisply, wondering where her tricorder went::

CIV_Benson says:
EVN: What did you mean no control over the heat

CIV_Benson says:
EVN: What’s the temp over there

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Can you give me a second? I need a word with the XO

CMO_Varesh says:
@::hands Naimh her tricorder::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::thinks about it, debating whether it would be good to add more invisible dangers to this place:: SO: Take as long as you like. I'll configure the buoys.

TO_DuPont says:
@::Stands up, opens the shuttle armoury and hands out phasers to the away team, ensuring that they are all set on stun::

SO_K`Nargh says:
XO: sir, can I have a private word please?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@All: Okay. Understand one thing people, this AT is considered nothing more then the first team. We can't complete everything on the first go, so don't even think we'll be alone on this. In addition, I'll be assisting the EO. If you require any help contact me. Good luck, people.

ENV_Heaton says:
CIV: The temp seems to be normal but sometimes it seems to fluctuate

EO_Leasha says:
@::takes a phaser wondering if she would in fact hit anything as she wasn't the best shot:: TO: Thank you

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::gets her phaser and checks it again, just to annoy the TO a bit, more of a nervous tick, though...::

XO_Black says:
::turns to the SO::  SO: Yes, Ensign ?

CMO_Varesh says:
@::takes the phaser, checks the power supply and setting, and holsters it::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::whispers:: XO: Sir, when will my uhhm, counselling start for my little anger problem?

CIV_Benson says:
*XO* Please inform the away team to watch the temp. over there they will not have any control over it

EO_Leasha says:
@::suddenly glances up at Dref:: Cmdr Dref: really ? ::gets up ready to leave::

TO_DuPont says:
@::raises an eyebrow at the CSO double checking him::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::starts configuring the buoys to work in unison, setting up a group of nine::

CIV_Benson says:
ENV: Thank you Lt, keep me informed on the situation , if climate gets out of hand we'll have to pull them out

XO_Black says:
SO: As soon as this mission is over, Ensign.. don't worry..  ::smiles a little::   *CIV*: Understood...

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::smiles at TO:: TO: never be too careful with these things...

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: Really to what? ::Grabs a phaser from the TO::

SO_K`Nargh says:
XO: Thank you sir ::turns back towards the CTO::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::closes his eyes for a moment, blocking the mental noise and shoring up his mind's shields::

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: That joining me Sir ... so the CMO can use me and your going to help ..... ::smiles::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Nods and smiles back, wondering why they haven't docked yet::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Pauses, he turns around and glances at the shuttle:: CMO: Contact the Scimitar please, inform them we're going in.

ENV_Heaton says:
CIV: Aye sir, may I suggest that I go to the Miz'nareal on the next team!

SO_K`Nargh says:
*Taq'fan* would now be a good time to have a word with you?

XO_Black says:
*Dref*: Commander, status report please..

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::gets a confirmation and notices the Klingon returning:: CO: Captain, permission to launch sensor boost buoys.

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::swallows on hearing that they're going in, fiddles with her phaser::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::nods:: COM: Scimitar: Varesh to the Scimitar… Captain, we're going on board the ship now.

CIV_Benson says:
EVN: That might not be a bad idea, but this may be the only team going , maybe the next ship, I’ll talk to the XO about it

EO_Leasha says:
@::knows she far to eager to get on that ship::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: listening to the actions on the bridge ::

ENV_Heaton says:
CIV: Yes sir :: goes back to his console::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@TO, All: Okay, let's secure the shuttlebay people. Stay sharp.

TO_DuPont says:
@ ::Pries the phaser from the CSO's hands and places it in her holster and gives her a tricorder to fiddle with:: CSO: Relax, this is purely a retrieval mission

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::looks over at EO who looks like a dog on a lead too short to get at a huge steak, smiles a little::

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: The shuttle docks in the shuttlebay of the Miz'nareal.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Did you find anything new sir?

CIV_Benson says:
TOPS: Keep the conn on program is ready to receive the data

Taq`Fan says:
*SO*: Now would be fine.

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: I will need to get to Engineering ..

XO_Black says:
::glances at the CO::  COMM: AT: Understood, keep us informed...  a short update from TIC...  according to readouts the temperature onboard is not controllable.. please keep an eye on it at all times...

Taq`Fan says:
*SO*: My apologies, I was just finishing a report to my government.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Opens the shuttle doors open:: TO: Let's go. ::Parts the shuttle, he remains close to the shuttle as he watches the shuttlebay:: EO: We need to get out of here first, don't you think?

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Excuse me again sir but I have a meeting with Taq'fan I will be back in a short while

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::turns to look at TO, eyes look a little wild:: TO: These things never go to plan, you know...

CMO_Varesh says:
@COM: Scimitar:: Understood sir. I'll tell the rest of the team.

SO_K`Nargh says:
*Taq'fan* its ok, I’m coming up now

XO_Black says:
::glances at the CTO::  CTO: Permission Granted, Mr Ahkileez...

TO_DuPont says:
@::Follows the Commander with his tricorder out scanning::

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Of course Sir I thought that’s what the TO was for

SO_K`Nargh says:
CO: Permission to leave bridge sir?

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: As the crew look around, they notice that the ship is not totally metallic-based.  There seems to be sections of a gel-like material interspersed within the frame structure.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: XO: Thank you, Commander.

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::looks around, scanning as she goes:: Self: what is that on the walls?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: We need to secure the shuttlebay in order to leave to ME.. ::Sighs::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::launches the nine buoys from the aft, fore, and rollpodd launchers::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::exits the shuttle and walks over to the rest of the team:: All: TIC says the temperature on the ship is very unpredictable. Keep sharp. I don't want to treat frostbite or burns unless I have to.

EO_Leasha says:
@::leaves the shuttle and looks around grabs her tricorder looks a little seeing the place is fine:: Dref: The Shuttlebay looks structurally fine, Sir

TO_DuPont says:
@::Reaches out and touches the gel like material, studying it::

CIV_Benson says:
::starting to get the data in::  self: That’s weird gel material

EO_Leasha says:
@Cmdr Dref: I do understand Sir

CSO_Danann says:
@ Dref: This substance is unreadable, sir...I have no idea what it is... should I collect a sample for later analysis?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@TO: Careful with what you touch there. ::Glances around:: Is the shuttlebay secured? We need to get the next team here.

Host CO_Winters says:
SO: Granted.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::takes out his tricorder:: Self: I suppose I'll have most luck on the bridge.

MO_Hixxan says:
::picks up a notice to all medical officers on research into the peculiar earth-originated symptom currently a threat to Starfleet health called Alterian Encephalitis .. begins to read more::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Narrows his scans looking for any weapons and tactical systems::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CO: Thank you sir

CSO_Danann says:
::snaps TO's hand away from the gel:: TO: Watch it!

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::nods at K'Nargh:: SO: Hopefully this will be working when you get back.

SO_K`Nargh says:
::walks off the bridge and enters the TL: TL: VIP lounge please

Cmdr_Dref says:
@CSO: Do that, however, that's not our top priority.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::All: Who is going to the bridge? ::hopes he's not alone::

EO_Leasha says:
@::Still looks around and tries to hunt for the shortest route to Engineering whishing she was going to this y herself:: Dref: The bay is secure Sir

TO_DuPont says:
@Dref: The bay is secure sir

SO_K`Nargh says:
::gets of the TL::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::walks up to Taq’fans door and knocks::

EO_Leasha says:
@::looks at what the To and the CSO are up to::

CSO_Danann says:
@ TO: you have no idea what that stuff is! ::takes out a sample tub and adds a small bit of the gel to it::

CIV_Benson says:
*CTO* The fighters are prepared for launch for a cover screen sir

Taq`Fan says:
::hears his door making a strange sound, and wonders why the beeper isn’t working::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Rubs off the brown and blue goo on a metallic piece of the ship::

CSO_Danann says:
@ CMO: I have to...lead the way...

Taq`Fan says:
Door: Open?

Taq`Fan says:
::looks at it, puzzled::

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: The door opens.

CMO_Varesh says:
@CSO: Great. Dref: With your permission sir? ::motions to the exit out of the shuttle bay::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::taps the blue comm. button:: *CIV*: Understood, Ensign. Launch squadron one for patrol. I have a second job for squadron two. I need them to find the comm. buoys we launched and tight-beam their position back to the ship so we can chart them.

SO_K`Nargh says:
::walks into the room::

CSO_Danann says:
@ TO: I'd go to sickbay after this, if I were you. no idea what sort of horrible things it could do to you!

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Nods at the TO:: Com: Scimitar: CO: Captain, we're ready for the next team. The next team is: CIV, OPS, ENV and the XO

Taq`Fan says:
SO: Please be seated.

EO_Leasha says:
@:: Waits for everyone to sort themselves::

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: Thank you

TO_DuPont says:
@::Confines his tricorder search to weapons and tactical systems and begins to scan his surroundings::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::takes a seat near Taq'fan::

MO_Hixxan says:
::begins to set up an area for research...   samples of the disease where in cold storage,  he'd need to try and work out how the virus was transferring from humans to Klingons, and affecting them ... but to do this he would need a Klingon to get some blood and tissue samples from, he begins to check the ships database for a Klingon crew member::

ENV_Heaton says:
::tabs some controls::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::makes her way over to CMO::

OPS-Exeter says:
::looks at Brian::

Taq`Fan says:
::looks across to the SO, wriggling ridges at him::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::finds his sensors work a little better now, but unfocused, getting ghost images::

CIV_Benson says:
*CTO* Understood relay updated mission orders to the TIC launching in 2 minutes

Cmdr_Dref says:
@All: Contact me every ten minutes, any one that will miss one will be considered missing. Understood, people?

Taq`Fan says:
::wriggles a ridge down the left side of his head and around the back somewhere::

CIV_Benson says:
looks at the ENV::  ENV: You get that,  you got your wish looks like we are both going

TO_DuPont says:
@Dref: Aye Sir

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: Sir, I am just hear to apologize for my ::ahem:: actions during the last couple days

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Me included ? ::smiles and goes to walk out the doors::

XO_Black says:
::hears the comm. and nods at the CO::  CO: I'm on my way then.. ::smiles::  *ENV, CIV*: report to shuttlebay for away team duties..  OPS: You're with me...

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::spots the new light on his display:: *CIV*: Confirmed. Open forward launch doors on my mark. Mark!

CMO_Varesh says:
@Dref: Aye, sir. ::walks to the doors:: CSO: Coming?

Taq`Fan says:
SO: I do not understand. ::looks at him, quizzically::

OPS-Exeter says:
XO: You got it  ::stands up ready too leave the bridge::

ENV_Heaton says:
CIV: Yes sir   *XO*: Right away Sir  ::walks out of the TIC::

EO_Leasha says:
@CMO: Hmm well best to shout me if you need to 'Use me' Sir

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: For my anger and out lashes at you and some other crew members

CIV_Benson says:
::opening launch bay doors fighter s preparing to launch::

CSO_Danann says:
@ Dref: Yes sir... ::turns to CMO:: CMO: Doctors first, commander! ::smiles a little, trying to act relaxed::

XO_Black says:
::enters the TL and waits for OPS::

CIV_Benson says:
*XO*: On my way sir, in a minute launching fighters now

TO_DuPont says:
@::Decides he might as well try the bridge, exits the doors and sets out::

OPS-Exeter says:
::enters TL::  XO: Exactly why are we needed???

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::spots the launch countdown from TIC appear on his board and checks to make sure the auto-fire routines are taken offline since this is the Scimitar's first action with fighters::

Taq`Fan says:
SO: Ah. I see. I'm afraid I'm still working on comprehending your communication methods. It's difficult to tell the emotional states of the lesser races at times.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::smiles and walks into the corridor as the doors open:: CSO: Relax, Niamh... Unless you have some phobia I don't know about?

EO_Leasha says:
@::walks out the door and heads of to where Engineering should be tool box Included::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@COM: Scimitar: XO: Please include the CTO, engineering teams, and a few more tactical officers. We have enough space for a few shuttles here, let's use that space.

ENV_Heaton says:
::takes a few things with him like a tricorder and stuff:: Self: You may never know....

MO_Hixxan says:
::finds a crew member...  science officer K`Nargh, he wonders would he be able to get a lend of him for a few minutes to see if he would be agreeable to donating some blood for the good of science..::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::keeps his anger under control:: Taq'fan: so I would just like to apologize.....

TO_DuPont says:
@::Makes his way through the twisting corridors::

Taq`Fan says:
SO: I see. Your apologies are not necessary, as I took no offence, but I would be interested in learning more about what causes this... anger.

EO_Leasha says:
@::poodles off still looking at her tricorder every now and then ::

XO_Black says:
COM: AT: Dref: Understood...   ::steps out of the TL for a moment::  CTO: Lieutenant.... you're with me as well... signal a security team to meet us in the shuttlebay...

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::feels kind of weird about hearing her first name when she's so used to 'Ensign' and 'Cadet'...:: CMO: Oh, you have no idea... ::swallows and continues walking, constantly scanning, looking for a way out, an escape route::

CIV_Benson says:
::fighters away::  *CTO* fighters away and clear sir

MO_Hixxan says:
*SO* Lt. Hixxan to ensign K'Nargh

SO_K`Nargh says:
*MO*: Go ahead

Taq`Fan says:
SO: However, I believe it will have to wait for another time. I believe you are being summoned.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged. They're your birds now, Ensign. I'm going over to the ship. Ahkileez out.

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::hold CMO back suddenly:: CMO: Hang on... there's a structural fault here...

TO_DuPont says:
@::Stops suddenly as his tricorder beeps at him warning of the unstable floor in front of him::

ENV_Heaton says:
::enters a TL:: TL: Shuttlebay

CMO_Varesh says:
@TO/CSO: I read a section of the deck is unstable. Careful.

XO_Black says:
OPS: Extra attention to the mission at hand... a huge ship, we need to make a complete check.. ::sighs a little::

OPS-Exeter says:
*CIV*: You have some time left too prepare a few Shuttles???

EO_Leasha says:
@::Realises she left Dref behind but carries on walking a little slower for him to catch up::

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: Yes I am, we will meet again I am sure of it.....that is all for now, thank you

Taq`Fan says:
::bows to the SO::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::nods at Black:: XO: Aye sir. *Sec* Teams Beta and Gamma to the shuttlebay.

Taq`Fan says:
::wriggles ridges at him::

CSO_Danann says:
@ CMO: Its' too big to step over, we'll have to find another way... ::sounds seriously disappointed at the delay::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::Bows back and leaves the room::

TO_DuPont says:
@::taps comm. badge:: *CMO* Acknowledged Commander, I'm getting the same readings as well…

SO_K`Nargh says:
*MO* Yes?

ENV_Heaton says:
::arrives in shuttlebay::

CIV_Benson says:
::keeps his console open to receive the data while he is gone::  *OPS* I was just going my way down there, I will but it's not my job

CMO_Varesh says:
@::walks up behind DuPont:: *TO*: Good. Now how do you propose we get around it?

SO_K`Nargh says:
::starts walking towards the TL::

Host CO_Winters says:
Computer: Relay away team communications to the bridge.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*AT*: The second AT is in bound, any one that needs more teams please tell me now. Each of you will be in charge of a small group of people from the second AT.

Host SM_Nick says:
<Computer> CO: Working.

TO_DuPont says:
@::Spins around a little surprised::  CMO: I guess we will have to find another way Commander

CSO_Danann says:
@ CMO: We'll just have to take a different corridor... ::thinks:: or turn off the AG... ::grins::

MO_Hixxan says:
*SO* I'm doing some research in sickbay on a new virus that could potentially affect Klingons.. we've been assigned to try and derive a cure.... I was wondering could we get some tissue samples from you to help with the research, it would only take a minute and you would not be  harmed..... would you be agreeable to this?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::stands with Black:: XO: Whenever you're ready, Commander. The teams are on their way.

XO_Black says:
::sees the CTO enter::  TL: Shuttlebay !  CTO, OPS: All Right, we'll take two shuttles....

SO_K`Nargh says:
*MO* If it helps my species then I am all for it, shall I meet you in sickbay?

CMO_Varesh says:
@::smiles:: TO/CSO: I suggest we double back and take a cross corridor. Surely they have something that works like a turbo lift? I don't want to climb to where ever the bridge is.

CIV_Benson says:
::makes his way into the TL::  TL: Shuttle bay   XO: I’m on my way sir

ENV_Heaton says:
::waits in the SB for the XO::

EO_Leasha says:
@::still scanning with her tricorder muttering to herself and walking down this intriguing corridor::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Points to something similar to a Jeffries tube and begins scanning:: CMO: Hmm a 8 deck climb Commander. and I seriously doubt their TL are in working order sir

XO_Black says:
*Engineering*: Engineering teams Alpha and Beta, report to shuttlebay ASAP...

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::rides down in the lifts::  XO: Why didn't we send over a full excursion team, sir?

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::looks disappointed, wanted to go floating for a while...likes Zero Gravity::

SO_K`Nargh says:
*CTO* Sir, umm I know you may get a bit mad but I have just been called down to sickbay....

CMO_Varesh says:
@::sighs:: TO: I knew it would be too good to be true. I hope you two are fit. ::grins:: Shall we?

CSO_Danann says:
@ TO: Climb it I then, I suppose ::sighs and scans again::

CIV_Benson says:
::exits the TL in to the shuttlebay::

XO_Black says:
::as the TL arrives heads out followed by OPS and the CTO::  CTO: We first needed to secure the ship's shuttlebay and surroundings...

SO_K`Nargh says:
*XO*: Sir, you should be proud of me, Taq'fan tested me and I guess I had control over my anger

EO_Leasha says:
@:: reaches a door scanning she sees Engineering is behind it and sighs while waiting for the commander to catch up with her::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@Com: Scimitar: XO: Change of plans, get anyone you can spare into the second AT. We underestimated the ship size, get everyone that is not on active duty now.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::Taps badge:: *SO*: It's not a problem. I won't be on the bridge anyway. Once  you're done, please report to the bridge and continue the refinement of the system.

TO_DuPont says:
@CMO: On second thoughts , sir:: frowning at his tricorder:: it appears the way is blocked and there is a fire ?

CSO_Danann says:
@ CMO: Well, you said I was...consider this a test of your abilities as a doctor then...

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::leads Black out of the lift:: XO: Yes sir. ::walks across the massive flight deck, looking for their chosen shuttle and finds the one with the security teams already waiting:: This one sir?

CMO_Varesh says:
@::grumbles:: TO: Then we'll have to move across to another access and see if that is clear all the way to the bridge. ::grins at Naimh:: CSO: So I said.

SO_K`Nargh says:
*CTO* Yes sir

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::bites her lip:: CMO/TO: Could the shuttles transporter system beam us up there?

TO_DuPont says:
@CMO/CSO: Looks like we will have to find another way around. I think if we split up sir we will increase our chances of finding a way to the bridge

CTO_Ahkileez says:
*SO*: We need eyes out here, Ensign. We need to get that working. Ahkileez out.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::taps the channel closed and accepts a weapon from one of the security team members::

EO_Leasha says:
@::sees the door is jammed shut but still waits on the Commander and taps her commbadge:: *Dref* Leasha to Commander Dref

CIV_Benson says:
::in the shuttlebay waiting for everyone lese to show up::

CMO_Varesh says:
@TO: I hate that idea... CSO: Not in the nebula we can't... it isn't safe.

MO_Hixxan_ says:
*SO* Thank you for your co-operation, please come to sickbay as soon as you can, I'll begin preparing for the test...   hixxan out

XO_Black says:
::nods at the CTO::  CTO: Yes, we'll take this shuttle...  ::points::

ENV_Heaton says:
::stands in attention when he sees the XO enter SB::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::scoffs:: CMO: Like this is... TO: and we shouldn't split up...more eyes the better, as far as I’m concerned...?

CIV_Benson says:
XO: Sir were do you want me

XO_Black says:
::moves over to the chosen shuttle and signals OPS to go with the rest of the security teams and engineering teams in the other shuttle::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Glances up at the CSO wondering why she's acting so spooked::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Slows down as he reaches the EO:: EO: I'm right here. What seems to be the problem?

SO_K`Nargh says:
*MO* I am about to go for AT duties can we reschedule this test?

XO_Black says:
COMM: AT: Dref: Understood... we're on our way...

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::hates run down ships and stations, like this one. wants to get off it as soon as possible::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Lifts his tricorder trying to plot a way to the bridge::  CMO/CSO: It looks like we only have one way sir.....

XO_Black says:
*SO, MO*: Change of plans...report to the shuttlebay immediately !

EO_Leasha says:
@::turns a little surprised:: Dref: oh Sir ... the doors are jammed shut, we can either take another route or try a phaser Sir

CMO_Varesh says:
@TO/CSO: Ok, We climb up as far as we can, and then see if we can cross to another access to the bridge. ::gets into the access area and starts climbing::

SO_K`Nargh says:
*XO* Yes sir

SO_K`Nargh says:
::Enters the TL:: TL: Shuttlebay

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: The access area is quickly blocked.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::climbs into the shuttle and heads for the cockpit, seeing the pre-flight is already begun::

XO_Black says:
CTO: Pheeww..a nice operation on our hands here...  ::follows the CTO and nods at the ensign sitting at the helm::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Nods, he studies the door and sighs:: EO: Scan for nearby JT's please.

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::follows CMO, relieved they're at least a bit nearer to getting off this horrible dumb of a tin can:: Self: calm down...it'll be over soon...

TO_DuPont says:
@CMO/CSO: Sir may I remind you that there is fire down there, we wouldn't last a minute in that Jeffries tube' I'm afraid it looks like we may have to jump sir

SO_K`Nargh says:
::enters the shuttlebay and into the shuttle::

CIV_Benson says:
::enters one of the shuttles and takes a seat::

MO_Hixxan_ says:
*XO* Yes Sir  ::makes his way to the TL::

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Certainly Sir

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::stops:: TO: Jump?!...

CMO_Varesh says:
@::looks at the jumble of steel above him, getting slightly roasted in the process:: TO: You might be right. ::gets out the access tube again:: How wide is that unstable area?

ENV_Heaton says:
::takes a seat in one of the shuttles::

EO_Leasha says:
@::scans and sighs:: Dref: Unfortunately Sir I’m not detecting any we can try to prise it open with something

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::looks back over his shoulder at the passenger area and then nods at the team:: XO: With your permission? ::hands on the controls::

CIV_Benson says:
*SO, MO* Please join me in the shuttle on the double

TO_DuPont says:
@::Scans the floor:: CMO/CSO: Sure it isn't to far we would be able to clear it with a decent run up

SO_K`Nargh says:
*CIV* Yes sir

MO_Hixxan_ says:
::enters SB, and heads into the shuttle.....greets other officers and finds a seat::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::enters the shuttle where the CIV is sitting::

XO_Black says:
::nods::  CTO: Get us out of here, Lieutenant.. ::smiles::

CSO_Danann says:
@ TO/CMO: well, I can't think of anything else... ::looks worried::

CMO_Varesh says:
@TO: I'd rather know how wide, before I jump and I land on a section where I wall through. I'd HATE to fall into that fire below.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CIV: Hi, got here as fast as I could, who’s flying?

CIV_Benson says:
SO: Greetings K'Nargh

XO_Black says:
*CO*: Captain, we're ready to depart...

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: Do you have any tactical experience?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::activates the AG lifters and rises from the flight deck, turning the shuttle with RCS until he's facing the shuttlebay doors before goosing the engines and heading out toward the black::

Host CO_Winters says:
*XO* Very well.. you are cleared to depart.

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Not a great deal Sir why do you ask?

MO_Hixxan_ says:
::sees Klingon enter the shuttle and assumes this must be the science officer:: SO: hello, K'Nargh would it be?

SO_K`Nargh says:
MO: Yes, nice to meet you

SO_K`Nargh says:
CIV: I believe we are ready to go

XO_Black says:
*CO*: Thank you, Sir...

CIV_Benson says:
SO: I’ll be taking the conn here  MO: Welcome you and the SO will be with me

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::looks at the floor and scans it, biting her lip again::

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: But Mister tactical officer is somewhere if your really in need of one

CMO_Varesh says:
@TO: I know, you jump and if you fall through I'll try and rescue you. ::gives a smile to show he's kidding::

ENV_Heaton says:
::just sitting in a chair on one of the shuttles::

CIV_Benson says:
*XO*: We are ready here Cmdr

TO_DuPont says:
@CSO/CMO: Scans indicate we have to clear just over 2 meters, we can do that easily

SO_K`Nargh says:
MO: So I believe you have a test for me later on if I survive this mission

CMO_Varesh says:
@TO/CSO: Then we jump. Ok, who's first?

MO_Hixxan says:
::nods at the MO although not quite sure what’s happening::   CIV: what is the current situation?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Smiles, he drops his bag on the floor and zips it open. Searching inside, he removes a photon grenade and zips the bag close as he walks towards the door. With a quick glance around he sticks the grenade at the door and charges it. With a quick nod, he turns around and sighs:: EO: Run. Now. ::Runs away::

XO_Black says:
*CIV*: Understood, Ensign.. clear your departure with the Captain and wait till we're half way... I don't want a traffic jam up there... ::grins::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::concentrates on her tricorder::

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION:  There is a slight pause outside the door to Engineering.

TO_DuPont says:
@CMO: I'll go first

EO_Leasha says:
@::runs::

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: BOOOOM!!!!!

XO_Black says:
COMM: AT: Dref: Commander, we're on our way... with a third wave following us as soon as we've arrived...

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::looks up at TO::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::nods:: CSO: Niamh, you go next, and I'll bring up the rear.

CIV_Benson says:
*XO*: understood  *CO*: Shuttle 5 prepared for launch to leave when the XO's Shuttle is halfway

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: Through a flurry of debris, there is now a way through to Engineering.

CIV_Benson says:
MO: Not much right now, we just need to get all the data we can and as fast as we can get it

MO_Hixxan_ says:
SO: Yes, so do please try and survive my friend...  ::chuckles::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CIV*: Proceed

TO_DuPont says:
@::backs up about 10 meters, mentally marking where he needs to jump and where he needs to land::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::grins at the MO::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: After you?

EO_Leasha says:
@::looks:: Dref: Well that sorted the problem

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::nods to CMO:: CMO: Yes sir... ::looks back at the floor and cringes::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::tilts the shuttle on approach of the Taq'uah ship:: XO: Where do you want to land, sir?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@Com: Second shuttle: XO: Contact me when you land please, I'll be in contact then.

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: thank you Sir ::steps over the debris and walks into Engineering and looks around::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Starts running and jumps over the weakened floor::

CIV_Benson says:
::starts up the shuttle and prepares to leave dock:

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::holds her breath::

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: DuPont makes it over safely.....

SO_K`Nargh says:
MO/CIV: Here we go

CMO_Varesh says:
@::releases his breath, suddenly realizing he was holding it:: CSO: You're next.

TO_DuPont says:
@::Turns and prepares to help the next member of the team::

CIV_Benson says:
::leaves the Scimitar and sets course to the other ship::

XO_Black says:
::turns to the CTO::  CTO: Put us right beside the first shuttle, Lieutenant...

XO_Black says:
COMM: AT: Dref: Understood, Black out.

EO_Leasha says:
@::walks up to one of the systems and tries to figure out what is does::

Taq`Fan says:
::stretches out in his quarters, wriggling his ridges::

CIV_Benson says:
*XO* any place you want us to land sir

CMO_Varesh says:
@*Dref*: Varesh to Dref. Sir, I'm with the CSO and TO, we're making our way to the bridge.

SO_K`Nargh says:
MO: I wonder what will we encounter up there........

CSO_Danann says:
@::steps back a bit further that TO did, just in case::  Self: OK...this is the worst thing you'll have to do today...promise... ::takes a deep breath, releases it and runs, keeping her eye on where she needs to lift off from::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::jumps::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@*CMO*: Understood, the second and third AT's are on their ways.

EO_Leasha says:
@::notices that one is dead and moves on to the next ::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: XO: Aye sir. ::slows in front of the ship's bay and takes them in under the faint lights, killing the engines and reactivating the anti-gravs as the shuttle slides of the deck, resting silently beside its sister::

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: Danann makes it safely across, almost knocking DuPont over.

ENV_Heaton says:
:: he checks if he has everything with him that he may need::

MO_Hixxan_ says:
::begins to check the console as the ship's impulse engine powers up::

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION AT 2 docks safely.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::backs up a bit so he can jump across, gets a running start and jumps when he reaches the spot he marked::

CSO_Danann says:
@ ::falls on top of DuPont::

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: Varesh makes it across safely.

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: Suddenly the floor caves in, and Varesh disappears.

TO_DuPont says:
@::Manages to avoid getting knocked over by the CSO while slowing her down at the same time::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::lands, teeters for a moment and then falls:: All: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

CTO_Ahkileez says:
@  ::stands in the cockpit, looking back at the others::

XO_Black says:
@::feels the familiar "bump"::  CTO: Good... now let’s get our gear together and get going...

CTO_Ahkileez says:
@ XO: Yes sir. Sec: Beta and Gamma leave first. We'll follow. ::hits the control to open the aft door and follows the security teams down the ramp::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::hand catches the edge of the floor, only 4 fingers holding on::
