Summary - The mystery surrounding the perfection of Zakratus IV continues...

Counsellor Pepys and Lieutenant Zin have been beamed back to the U.S.S. Scimitar, while Doctor Abmeraz and Lieutenant JG Harris continue to search for Brenna Delar. At the same time Ensign Pierce and Commander Lessing prepare to scale down a cliff, into a dark ominous cave...in hopes of locating Doctor Weston and her team...\

Many mysteries still remain - what was that voice Brenna Delar heard, what exactly is the cause of the energy field around the planet, and why haven't the Airilians taken an interest in this near perfect planet? All will be answered in time...

@SO: You ready?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Checks his gear for a final time, then looks up at the XO and checks his gear:: XO: Ready. My father taught me all about this. It's been a while ::smiles::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Walks along side the CEO as he takes out his tricorder and at the same time tries to get Brenna's attention as they approach::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::Lieutenant Zin walks onto the bridge of the U.S.S. Scimitar and looks around at the assembled bridge crew, she notices Black and makes a bee-line for him::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::sitting at the master display he read the reports that have come in on the Airilian threat and shakes his head::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Hooks up both lines to a solid anchor point, making sure it won't loosen or even let go. He did this so many times, he can dream the steps::
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
::enjoying his coffee and reading his assessment report::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Well this is a nice change from getting chunks taken out of our shields isn't it?
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::turns to see Zin, and then quickly looks back to the floor with a smile, before continuing to read the information she has in her hand::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@::Hooks up his rope and walks backwards to the edge of the ravine, secure strapped in, and then slowly lowers himself over the edge, keeping his feet in contact with the ground::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She glances down at the display and hands over a data pad:: CIV: All of the Doctor's database had been wiped clean before I got there...I believe that I might know what happened to the team...
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: Aye it is. It's to silent.. so I suspect our coffee break will be cut short soon, Ethan.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Looks as the XO goes over the edge, then steps back, lets his body go horizontal, then takes small jumps downwards::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#::starts to whistle::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Well the capital ships are still 12 and a half hours out but it wouldn't surprise me if we did get jumped on.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Walks over to the OPS as he holds out his tricorder to scan her all over:: OPS: Ma'am, are you okay?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@::Taps his commbadge::  *Scimitar Bridge*: Lessing to Scimitar.  Respond please.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - Jonathan Pierce and Aleister Lessing begin to scale down the cliff into the darkness - something almost seems black ops about this...something that Lessing has gotten quite used to in recent months...
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: expect the unexpected so we probably have 6 hours top i guess before all hell breaks lose.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#OPS: Lt are you ok Sir,.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - Brenna Delar seems a little stunned as Abmeraz and Harris approach, she doesn't act, or react, and seems to be staring off into a bed of red flowers...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::continues to try and understand the energy field, she comes to the end of having useful information in her hand and joins the CSO's effort, glances briefly to Zin and Black on her way::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Three words my father made me memorize before I went into the academy, "Ready aye ready".
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: Hold here until the Scimitar responds.
CNS_Pepys says:
::Staring at various crew members, examining them::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::takes the PADD from Zin and nods as he scrolls down to read the information::  Zin: And that would be ?
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: good advise, my old Chief said  you can't go wrong with 'working on it, sir'
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*XO*: Janan here, any news commander?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#CMO: any thing Ens.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She takes a seat next to Black and glances over at the PADD she gave to him:: Black: The runabout was damaged, and the camp was literally deserted, I think something may have driven them into a nearby cave system...what, I'm not sure...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: That one's been a great help to me as well ever since I got my first commission. ::smiles::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@*CO*: Captain, we are about to descend into the ravine, please keep a transporter lock on us and get us out of here if something goes wrong.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Nods, then remembers the XO probably didn't see that, and says:: XO: Aye. I'll take some tricorder readings in the mean time. ::He secures his line, turns on his light on his helmet and checks the tricorder::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Puts away his tricorder as he can't find anything totally out of the ordinary and steps in front of her to wave with his hands before her face:: CEO: She seems to be in deep thought lieutenant.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::looks at the CSO and then the console again:: CSO: Is there any more information about the field how has the presence of our officers effected it?
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: never see that kind of stuff in the manuals or guides and those are the lifesavers.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: They should be in the manuals.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#::gets down beside the Lt Sir::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*XO*: We'll do our best ::remembers too many nasty cave systems then turns to the duty OPS:: Duty_OPS: Please ensure we can keep a transporter lock on both away teams.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@*CO*: Thank you, Captain.  Lessing out.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Duty_OPS> ::The duty officer nods and begins to work on getting a stable lock on the team::
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: they should, but they aren't. I searched during my years at the academy.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::stands looking into the flower bed furrowing her brow and shutting out the rest of the world in her mind::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: And down we go.  ::Starts making small jumps, heading downwards into the darkness.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Softly places his hand on the OPS' shoulder:: OPS: Ma'am, can you hear me? Are you okay? Ma'am?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::continues to run scans on the planets surface and the away team:: CO: I'm running scans to determine that now, Commander.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - The bright colors threaten to overwhelm Brenna Delar, and she notices something new in the red flower bed...a different red, crimson...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Looks down, so his light will at least give them a hint of where they're going, puts away his tricorder, then unfastens his line and descends::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::finishes his coffee and stands up to get another:: FCO: I wonder who you have to talk to, to get the manuals changed?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#CMO: what’s wrong why wont the OPS movie or say any thing.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::thinks for a moment::  Zin: Could the Airilians hid a team on the surface to keep the research team captive ?
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CSO: Thank you. ::turns to Zin and Black:: CIV/Lt_Zin: What do you know of the field surrounding this planet ::glancing to Black she respectfully adds the usual:: Sir, have the team reported this before?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@:: Attaches his light to his timeline, so it points down, then clips the tricorder on the line as well, so its at eye-level for him, and he can see scans of what he is heading into::
Dr_Weston says:
@::she looks up, as she hears a sound from above; raising her index finger to her lips, she looks to everyone else to be silent as they wait for whoever or whatever...::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
CIV: Intelligence hasn't reported any signs of Airilian activity within the region, but it is very-well possible...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
:;frowns:: CO: It's...unstable. Commander, we need to extract the team now. ::begins working on a way to get a transporter beam through the interference of the field::
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: I wouldn't know, you could publish a manual yourself 'MacAllister’s useful advise for starting officers'. :;smiles::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks over to the CEO:: CEO: I don't know really, but she has been in some stasis back at the ship. Perhaps it was not the right time for her to come down here yet. Although she has a strange and different look in her eyes. ::Snaps his fingers in front of her::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@XO: Did you think about what may be down there? We're not exactly equipped for fighting
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::her jaw drops, notices the pure crimson like fresh blood and shivering all over but unable to look away, like some sort of train wreck, freakishly ominous feeling to her, but less overtly threatening in her mind, she feels so intrigued after the pale greys of the last few months she can't look away::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#CMO: well i better inform the CO about.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She glances up from her display and looks over at Commander Janan, unsure of how to respond to the question::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Well  it only took me about 10 months to get promoted to full lieutenant so I must have done something right ::grins::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: I have a hunch we're about to find something we shouldn't.  And what's this about not being equipped for fighting?  I always carry at least two phasers...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CSO: What effect will it have on our team ::turns to OPS:: Duty_OPS: Do we still have a lock on boat away teams?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Nods:: CEO: Yes, if you would, please. I will try to get the OPS out of her trance-like situation.
Dr_Weston says:
@::stepping back, away from the cliff, she moves towards a rock, situating herself behind, but in clear view of the cliff face...::
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
::sips his coffee:: CTO: took John years to get to LtCmdr
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@XO: I have one, plus this ::Secures his line, then takes out his father's six shooter::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - In unison Doctor Abmeraz and Lieutenant Harris' tricorders beep as they pick up a humanoid nearby...
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#*CO*: Sir for some reason OPS is not moving or saying any thing looks like these flowers have done something to the me. OPS and the CMO will try to bring her back.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: Always useful, particularly against energy-weapon shields.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head and hands Zin a padd from the seat:: Zin: This is what we know so far. can you add to it?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks down at his belt and takes the beeping tricorder from it. He checks and sees the life sign nearby. He looks around, still keeping his hand on the OPS' shoulder::
Dr_Weston says:
@::listening a little closer, she can discern voices... she quickly stands up and walks back to the cliff:: XO/SO: Hello? I can hear you!
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Well I can't say I'm in any hurry to make LtCmdr ::lying slightly:: but it would be nice. ::smiles::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Laughs, puts the gun away and says:: XO: I just hope it doesn't explode in my face. I kept it well oiled and all, but you never know... this things is very, very old ::unsecures his line, then continues descending::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::shakes his head::  CO: To my knowledge there have not been any reports stating such a fact, no...
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@:: Hears a voice::  Out loud:  Who is that?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Looks up in surprise as someone is calling to them::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: As far as I can tell, Commander, there are no negative effects on the team. It's just....a block.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@::Stops his descent:: SO: Hold here.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Nods, then takes out his tricorder to scan for any life signs::
Dr_Weston says:
@XO/SO: ... How about, you first?
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: Heck, it's the main aim for every ensign to eventually be called 'commander'. Then again Commander Exeter has a ring to it.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::looks to the CSO for an answer:: *CMO*: We're working on bringing the three of you back onboard, you may have more luck bringing her out of this onboard.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::He looks over to the bush on his far right side. He turns around and steps in front of the OPS in a defensive pose as he reaches for his phaser:: BUSH: Who is out there? Identify yourself.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@::Quietly takes his tricorder and scans the area for life signs::
Dr_Weston says:
@::looks back to the rest of the team, and nods a little hesitatingly... appears to be safe for the most part...::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::taps the console::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: It does..... hmmmm.... Commander MacAllister...... bit of a mouthful isn't it?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - The plants seem to move with their own life, recoiling away from the dead body in the busy. As the flowers pull away the team can see a man dead in the bush, stab wounds covering his body...
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: just change your name to 'Mac'.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#::what the stands up::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the CSO confirming what he has said:: CSO: Yes your quite correct ::shakes her head:: now to find a way to counter it? Could a shuttle get through the field and back?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::her eyes grow wide and she promptly vomits accidentally on Abmeraz's shoe::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Well that's a name usually reserved for my closest friends but before I transferred here to the Scimitar the command staff on the Tal-War started using it.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#::oh man that’s wrong giggles::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks somewhat surprised at the body:: *CO*: Understood ma'am, but we have another situation at hand here. The plants just moved and revealed a humanoid body. ::He looks down at his feet as he feels something wet enter his shoe::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: They’re humanoid.  Out loud: This is Lieutenant-Commander Lessing, of the USS Scimitar.  Identify yourselves.  ::Sneakily gets his phaser out, just in case::
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: Well, they got a younger version of you on there now don't they?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Yep, Stuart, and last I heard he was fitting in just nicely.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods slowly:: CO: The field does allow matter through it, we should be able to pilot a runabout down there and transport the team while inside the field
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: he's got a hard taskmaster as 2nd I heard :;chuckles::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@XO: Seem to be below us. Why don't I go down? You can cover from up here.. great field of fire
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#OPS: are you ok sir.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::chuckles:: FCO: I think we should get together with Stuart and John for a drink and swap stories.
Dr_Weston says:
@XO/SO: Samantha Weston. Well, get down here! I've got a cave full of terrified people down here: some need help.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: Negative.  You stay up here.  I'll go down.  ::Will not repeat the mistake he almost made on the Aventura, and almost get someone else killed::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Shakes his shoe to try and get rid of the smelly substance that is in and on his shoe as he turns to look at the CEO:: CEO: Would you mind taking a closer look at that body, please? ::Still holding the OPS, but now to keep his balance, rather than trying to comfort her::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CSO: I see, and our chances of getting out with the shuttle given the fields documented behavior?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@XO: Sir, i know you're higher in rank. But I think an SO is more easily replaced than an XO ::smiles::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#:: walks over to the body and takes a closer look::
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: I think John would want to settle in first. He's been on the ship for a few weeks now. And with hitting 2nd he would be very busy.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CIV: It is strange that the field would at first become stronger around the location Brenna transported to. We still have a lock on the XO and SO.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: As I said, you stay here.  Follow me down unless I hail you.  Weston: I'm coming down. ::puts his phaser away, but still within easy reach, and makes the last bit of his descent::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::looks at the CSO with a thought:: CSO: I wonder the extent that this field moves? Perhaps, if the team can get a distance from this focus point?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#:: takes out his tricorder and scans the body::
Dr_Weston says:
@::looks up the cliff:: Self: They sent... two people... to get us out of here??
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Well that's understandable, it took my a while to get settled here.
CNS_Pepys says:
::hums softly and writes some things in a PADD whilst examining various people::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::nods:: CMO: Yes doctor.. I...I'm sorry.. I've just been a little...I...I want to go home now if that's alright. ::is shaking all over::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*CMO*: have you been able to identify the body and cause of death?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Secures his line, takes out his phaser and puts himself with his back against the wall, so he has a steady shot::
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: I'm not the settling kind; people will just have to adjust to me. ;;laughs::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: If the field is focused on Brenna, though, it would just follow them wherever they went...
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#CMO: looks like Seventeen stab wounds to the chest and torso. Three on the neck and face looks like he has been dead for a while.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - As Abmeraz's tricorder scans the body, it identifies him as Doctor Michael Weston, Samantha Weston's younger half-brother...
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@::While climbing, taps his commbadge:: *CO*: Captain, I have located Dr. Weston and her team.  We need a medical team here.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  CO: That is indeed odd, but this "field" could have been affected by the beam in from the Scimitar... as such the science department should look at what "third party" influence could do to the field...
Dr_Weston says:
@XO/SO: Welcome to our temporary, and ever-so-humble abode, Commander. ::gestures to the disturbing cave with her arms, as the XO and SO continue to descend::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: That's one way of doing it; personally I don't like to rock the boat as it were.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*CO*: The CEO is looking at the body right now, I will join him, but first we have to take care of the OPS. She has come to her senses.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - Lessing drops down onto the stone base of the cave, and he nearly slips on his landing - the rock is wet...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Puts his phaser away, then continues descending:: XO: Maybe here is not the ideal place sir, We should try to get them topside
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#:: oh my god looks at the tricorder::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CSO: Is it focused on Brenna or her current location? the field prevents transportation by preventing us from getting a lock on the team, yet it has so far not been tested as to whether it has a physical boundary.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@::Reaches the bottom of the ravine:: Weston: Nice to meet you, Doctor.  We have teams all over the surface, looking for you.  ::Stumbles a bit and regains his balance::  Weston: What happened here?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks over at the OPS:: OPS: Yes ma'am, we will be leaving here soon. The captain has already arranged for the beam out of here. ::Turns to the CEO:: CEO: What have you been able to find our?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Reaches the bottom, careful to place his feet then looks around:: Weston: First thing's first. Are there any wounded and if so where are they?
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: keeps people awake and I don't like being all nice and friendly for a few months and then getting comments that I’m really 'not a nice guy'.
Dr_Weston says:
@::raises her eyebrows, and walks over to help the XO:: XO: If you mean the rock... yes, uh, water made contact with the rock, thus making it... oh, I don't know, wet?
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*XO*: Noted thank you, We bring the whole team back to the Scimitar?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::sits down in the grass remembering Epidia's words and rocking slowly back and forth biting her lip::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@:: Smiles at the SO, still hasn't got over being obsessed with information::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - As Ensign Pierce lands, he thinks he's stable, but actually...he's standing on a slippery rock, and as he goes to move, he stumbles...falling into the darkness and down to the ground with a thud and a heavy 'crack.'
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: don't get me wrong, I was here for just a few days before I had K’Nargh confined to the brig.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::prepares then anyway:: *Sickbay*: Please have a medical team report to transporter room 1.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@*CO*: Captain, i think that would be the best idea.  Have a medical team standing by as well.
Dr_Weston says:
@XO: I apologize. This whole ordeal has left me... rather tense, as you can imagine. ::looks about, and watches as a body lands a few metres next to her, her jaw drops::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
<Duty_CMO>*CO*: Aye aye ma'am, sickbay will be ready in a minute.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods slowly:: CO: That could be the case. The field doesn't appear to be modulating on crew movements anymore...They should begin moving out to....::checks for the closest area not affected and tags it::...here
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: the klingon pain in the neck?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks over at the OPS again as he kneels beside her:: OPS: Are you okay? Can you tell us what happened?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Which is a point... ::sips his coffee:: have you met K’Nargh yet?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@Self: argh. That did not sound good ::tries moving his jaw to see if it's still attached::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@::Hears Pierce fall::  SO: Are you alright, ensign?>
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Yeah that's him.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*CMO*: Attempts to wake her on the Scimitar have not always been successful. Perhaps there was a trigger, which we may be able to discover. Until then now, the priority has to be getting her back onboard.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::hears the CO::  CO: Commander, if you have no objections I'm heading down to the transporter room.... I'm curious about a few things myself...
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#CMO: look at what my tricorder says Doctor Michael Weston, Samantha Weston's younger half-brother.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@:XO: I’m fine. Me and water just don't really go together  ::stands up and rubs his jaw, then walks over to Dr.Weston:: Weston: Do you have any wounded?
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: only read a bit about him. He's got a short fuse and doesn't like being ordered around. So he and me would go together like a house on fire.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She thinks as he overhears a variety of conversations going on, she stands next to Black and looks over at the rest of the bridge team::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::shakes her head:: CMO: It's Epidia...the dark forces, the plants they...move they take hold...I felt like the planet was eating me ::rubs at one of he multitude of scratches::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CIV: If you wish, however I would not advise your beam down to Brenna's location we already have three team members out of reach, sir. ::smiles to the CIV and begins to cross reference events taken place around the time the field became active::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: I'm Glad you’re fine.  Weston: can you get your team together?  I'd like to get us all out of here, as soon as possible.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Agreed but as I remember it was John who actually ordered his confinement.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*CO*: Affirmative ma'am. We also have a positive ID on the body. It was Doctor Michael Weston. According to the CEO it's Samantha Weston's younger half-brother.
CNS_Pepys says:
::taps in a few final buttons on his PADD and puts the PADD in a pocket of his jacket and looks around::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CSO: Can you inform the CMO, please?
Dr_Weston says:
@::nods, and tosses her arms to her sides, as she turns around:: All: Okay, everyone, it's safe... I think... XO: We've got 23 here.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and opens a communication to the surface:: *CMO*: Doctor Abmeraz, this is Lieutenant Delar. I've got an extraction point for you, begin heading that way.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CSO: Captain Black may have had a good point. do you have a time reference from the discovery of the field?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::transmits the coordinates to the Doctor's tricorder::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::grins::  CO: Don't worry... I won't be beaming down, the team of Dr. Weston is of more immediate concern to me...
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: K’Nargh had been on this ship for a long time. And He knew Exeter when Exeter was still a LtJG. How would you feel if a person gets LtCmdr and 2nd and your still LtJG. Exeter also got him demoted once.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@*Scimitar Transporter room*: 26 to beam up, full quarantine procedures please.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<Duty TO> *CTO*: Trigger to MacAllister.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and transfers his information on the field to a PADD before handing it to the CO::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - The transporter room confirms the beam-up and indicates it will take a minute to get a lock on everyone...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: One sec, I just got to take this.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@ ::Whispers:: XO: Maybe i could take a look around here, make sure I’m last and give me a few minutes
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Zin to follow him and heads into the nearest TL::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#*CSO* Okay, send the coordinates and we will get over there as soon as possible. ::Looks at the CEO:: CEO: I wouldn't ask this of you if I didn't believe it was necessary. But can you try and carry the body to the extraction point?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::taps his commbadge:: *TO*: Go ahead Trigger.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@XO: After what i found in the lab i don't think too highly of these people
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: Negative.  Our mission was to rescue Dr. Weston.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#CMO: i keep an eye on the body and you can take a look after we get back to the ship.
Dr_Weston says:
@::crosses her arms again and turns to the SO and XO:: XO/SO: So. How's your day?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::Zin nods and follows beside Black like a puppy dog, and watches as the lift doors close behind them::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#CMO: sure i just clean up after we get back to the ship.
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
::hands his padds to a waitress:: waitress: get these to my office, thanks. CTO: Duty calls?
CIV_Capt_Black says:
TL: Transporter room 1
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Weston:  It's been long, but we found you, which its going well so far.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#::pics up the body and heads for the town::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Nods at the CEO and looks over at the OPS:: OPS: Okay, you will have to explain to me about Epidia later. We are taking you back to the ship now. Can you walk? You can rest on me if you like.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<Duty TO> *CTO*: Just an update on those capital ships sir, ETA 12 hours, they obviously know we're here they're traveling at maximum warp.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances at Zin::  Zin: Lieutenant, what do you know about Dr. Weston's psych profile, her loyalty and reliability ?
Dr_Weston says:
@XO: And what of T'Vela, and Meredith?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*TO*: Received and acknowledged Trigger, keep me informed, MacAllister out.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::almost delayed as she begins reading first, then mutter's:: CSO: Thank you.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: I know I asked him for updates but I think he might be gunning for a promotion ::smiles::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light, twelve of the survivors are beamed to sickbay, in a blue shimmer another six go to sickbay...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::has no reason to believe they will be lucky enough to walk out of this::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - Pierce, Weston and Lessing are the last three to be beamed up with the rest of the survivors, and as they do, a medical containment field pops into place as they arrive in the transporter room...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
<Duty_CMO>::Looks at all the blue shimmering and starts to panic. He orders a few MO's around and nearly knocks over a tray with equipment::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::looks up at the doctor and smiles weakly:: CMO: Home...yes I can walk...please just get me back to my son, I need to see Bryn, I need to make sure he's alright, god I should be putting him down for his nap right now shouldn’t I? ::furrows her brow and stands ready to follow::
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: all SF officers gun for a promo. I already had enough promo's to last me a lifetime.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Walks around the cave a bit, scanning inconspicuously, looking for anything they're leaving behind::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
CIV: We can trust her...and she had selected her own team, I would assume their loyalty is just as close...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: So, if you don't mind me asking, how comes you're still an ensign?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Sparkles into being in the TR:: Self: I'm glad i called for those quarantine procedures.  TRChief: Report.
Dr_Weston says:
::nods, as she rematerializes on the ship:: Self: Ah, finally...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#*CSO*: We are ready to move to the extraction point. Do you have the coordinates for us please?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
*CMO*: Check your tricorder, Doc.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#::still heading for the beam out point::
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: I was a ranker and I don't play nice with the other kiddies. I joined Starfleet when I was 18 and got a field commission when I was 20 during the dominion war. And then got through the academy and after that I couldn't really give a flying dump about my career.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::As he sees the scenery change from rocky to Starfleet bulkheads he sighs::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Takes out his tricorder and sees the coordinates already flashing at the screen:: *CSO*: Sorry sir, I hadn't noticed. We are heading there now. ::He gestures for the CEO to follow and holds the OPS as they start to move to the location::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Transporter Chief> XO: Sensors are detecting an unidentified agent in your systems, Commander. The others have been quarantined in sickbay...
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  Zin: Excellent... I'd hate to be confronted with more problems in this case... we have more things to worry about then this...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: So you told me on the bridge ::smiles::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#:: yells come on Ens your slow::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
TR Chief: Interesting...  Can you remove the agent?
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::as the TL arrives on the sickbay deck he heads out::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::looks over her shoulder towards the clearing with worry, hoping nothing creeps after them::
Dr_Weston says:
::looks up as the chief and the XO discuss the discovery...::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Transporter Chief>  XO: The system attempted to extract the agent from your systems when you rematerialized...but so far, you still seem to be carriers...sir...::He looks concerned::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
<Duty_CMO> ::Runs around some, seemingly a little more calm than before as the other MO's are professionally taking care of the people in sickbay::
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: I've done my bit for Starfleet, but most people just see you as a ensign ergo incompetent so I gave up about 2 years ago to get anywhere.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Transporter chief: Can you identify the nature of the agent?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
TR Chief: Beam us directly to sickbay, and alert the doctor.  SO: Seeing we're infected, we're likely to be in Sickbay for a bit.  How is your medical knowledge?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: Not bad. Seems it'll have to do, unless the CMO is already back. And chances are that he's infected as well
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Transporter Chief> SO: It seems to be a spore of some kind...::He glances down at the display:: I don't know much more...::He nods and goes to activate the transport, but pauses as Black and Zin enter::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: so basically you've been too bad to be promoted but not quite bad enough to get discharged? ::grins::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::raises an eyebrow as he still sees Commander Lessing::  XO: Is there a problem, Commander ?
Dr_Weston says:
::her eyes dart to the doors as they open, Black stepping through...::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: A spore. That would mean it's air borne. That does narrow it down a bit. I would suspect it was from one of the native plants
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: They discharge people in Starfleet.. how do you manage that?
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CSO: I'll have a shuttle prepared, at least we are able to implement that choice with immediate effect should it be needed.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: We seem to be carrying an unidentified spore within our systems.  I'm having us transferred to sickbay.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::chuckles:: FCO: I think you have to shoot the CO or something.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - Almost twenty minutes passes on the surface and the team nears the beam-out coordinates. Mid-day has arrived, and the heat on the surface is becoming almost unbearable. Sweat drips on the brows of the team...and little does Ensign Harris realize, his sweat is mixing with the dripping crimson blood of his dead body...
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: Nah, she's to nice and Lessing is okay. And I think I'm not the only one who would want to shoot the CSO.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Wipes some sweat of his face as he tilts his head and holds his hand above his eyes to look into the distance. The view is garbled by the rising heat from the surface. He takes another look at his tricorder too.:: *CSO*: Sir ::pauses:: We are almost at. ::puffs:: the extraction point.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::Mumbles an old Irish prayer almost incoherently for her old gods to protect her and let her make it home to her family safe::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods half to himself:: *CMO*: I've...almost got a lock on you. Another hundred yards should see you into my scope.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Well as much as I agree that there's something strange about him, I AM a stickler for protocol and as such would have to at the very least confine you to the bridge pending your court-marshal ::grins widely::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She looks over towards Black with some concerns and then over at Doctor Weston:: XO: Are you all infected?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Takes his tricorder and tries to scan himself to find the spore::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*CSO*: Affirmative sir. ::Looks over to the CEO and OPS:: CEO/OPS: Only a few more yards. Can you do that?
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: and I would care about it?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Zin: It would appear so.  I think you should join us in Sickbay as well, just in case you're carrying it as well.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::waits for an answer at Zin's questions he tries to think of an appropriate course of action::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#CMO: ya but this things is starting to smell badly
CNS_Pepys says:
::Stands up and leaves his moderately comfy chair behind and wanders around the various stations on the bridge, peering over the shoulders of the crewmen seeing what they are doing::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::laughs:: FCO: Not so much a case of whether you would care or not but as for myself, my career is all I have and I don't want to let anything get in the way of it.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CSO: Has the field strengthened or moved at all as the team have been moving?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks at his tricorder readings as it finds the spore:: Transporter chief: Can you beam me to sickbay, i have to analyze this
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Besides, from what you've already told me I'd be doing you a favour.
Dr_Weston says:
SO: May I see that?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Not so far as I can see, Commander, but I don't want to tempt fate.
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: you naive person.. there is more then a career in Starfleet. We live in age where you can be what you want to be.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::blinks:: Self Hundred yards...I can do that ::breaks away from the doctor running as quickly as she can tripping her way towards the spot::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She nods to Lessing and then glances at Black:: Black: It is best that I join Doctor Weston in Sickbay...::She glances at Samantha, giving her a knowing look::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks at Weston, then shows her the tricorder readings:: Weston: Look familiar?
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CSO: understood ::smiles::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#::runs with the Body for the transport beam out::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<OPS_Powers> CNS: Can I help you counsellor, or are you just curious?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: What I want to be is the owner and commander of a salvage vessel but family pride would not allow it. ::smiles::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks at the OPS taking off:: OPS: Ma'am, please take it easy. Spare you energy. You might still need it when we get back to the ship.
Dr_Weston says:
::glances upward, then back at the tricorder, barely acknowledging Zin's look:: SO: ... Several of the team were studying this spore and its forms...
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Zin and turns to the transporter chief::  TR Chief: Chief, transport everyone including Lieutenant Zin to sickbay for quarantine immediately...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
#::blinks sweat away from her tired eyes:: Self: Can't stop yet, have to keep going so close please god just let me have the last few feet, just let me go please!
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - The transporter chief nods and activates a transport, and Zin, Pierce, Weston and Lessing find themselves in a very full sickbay, filled with spore-infected botanists...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Sighs as he starts to run after the OPS and CEO with his last bit of energy:: Self: I have to start working out again.
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: I know about family pride, Exeter's been serving in armed services since the 16th century.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<OPS Powers> CO: Captain, our lock on the Away team is still hazy, but continuing to firm up.  I could do a skeletal lock.
CNS_Pepys says:
OPS_Powers: Oh don’t mind me lieutenant, curiosity that is all. ::he nods and looks at the OPS Station::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CIV*: Sir, Zin wasn't quarantined. I suggest we run some tests on the crew to see who's been infected
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
<Duty_CMO> ::Looks over at the newly beamed:: SO: No more, please!
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#::stops picks up the Lt and runs for the transport area::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
OPS_Powers: As soon as you have them, do what you can to get them onboard please, in the same manner as the XO's team.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
SO: Work with the medical personnel, find out who is infected, who isn't.  And find a way to get this thing out of us.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
< Duty_MO>CMO: Here to help doc ::smiles:: CMO: You have a quiet little place here. i need some private time
CIV_Capt_Black says:
*SO*: Agreed, go ahead with those tests and let me know of the results... I will consult with Dr. Weston further...
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Duty_MO: Relax, doctor.  We may have a lot more down here soon.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: As have the MacAllister’s, they go right back to the feuds between the ancient Scots and the English
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
#::Arrives with the CEO and OPS at the extraction point as he drops to his knees, completely out of breath:: *SO*: Sir, ::puffs:: we have ::moans:: arrived. Please beam. ::puffs again:: us out of here.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: I’ve got a lock. ::hits the transport button::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<OPS_Powers> CO: Aye Ma'am.  Obtaining Skeletal Lock and primary lock.  They need to move about another 50 feet planetary east.
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: Oh, we had a Exeter killed at Bannock burn when The Bruce was king of Scotland. I think we fought on both sides.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
<Duty_CMO>::His face drops to a point where anybody can see his frustration:: XO: Alright, just what I need.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
#::drops and passes out::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::chuckles:: FCO: That could get confusing.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
<Duty_MO>: I suggest you run some tests on some of the crew.. there may be others who are infected. Just don't send them in here
FCO_Ens_Exeter says:
CTO: well, we have a Irish Branch and a English branch, but we never figured where the family started. England or Ireland.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - The familiar hum of Starfleet transporters fills the air around the remaining away team, and the glowing blue light envelopes them. In the transporter room, Ensign Harris, Michael Weston and Doctor Abmeraz materialize...and moments later so does Brenna Delar, in a white light...
