USS LUNA MISSION
Stardate 10104.22

Host Shann says:
LAST WEEK ON THE USS LUNA…

The away team had just arrived on their site when they found a bad snowstorm was developing, and the temperature was dropping. From the shadows they heard a howl echoing. This howl was found to belong to a very large creature.  This creature is a variation on the canines' family. In other words he is a dog but he I showing signs of being part wolf… very LARGE wolf.   From his collar and tag around his neck he appears to be some sort of a pet, but whom he belongs to is currently unknown.

Either due to the wolf's howling or the new snow on the old snow an avalanche began to fall.  The Away Team barely had enough time to make it to a series of caves in the mountain before it fell blocking the entrance.  The crew finds that instead of –40 degrees Celsius outside it is now 28 degrees in the cave. The air isn't stuffy, so there is a source of fresh air coming into the cave somewhere.  Finding another exit and finding what happened to their missing archeologists that is their next concern.

Meanwhile back on the Luna…

There was little more that the crew could do but wait until the AT could find the missing archeologists.  While the rest of the crew began doing heat signature and infrared scans for the missing people, the senior staff took the moment to run a series of tests on the holodeck to make sure the crew could work together under the stress that they knew were ahead. 

Once the simulation was over the CO received a report of the AT current situation, and the findings from the scans.  

The planet was full of life form, but no humanoids were detected other then the AT before the avalanche.  The snow was making it difficult.  The heat signatures would not show up if the missing people were dead. 

One thing was puzzling on the report, the mountain that the At was trapped in was found to show signs of being "Warm" in the heat signatures it seemed to be "warmer" then the other mountains in the area.  

The field that is blocking the transporters is still up and doesn't look like is going to be coming down anytime soon.

What shall the crew do?  Where did this dog come from?  And will the crew have any more surprises show up?  You will find out… if you survive.

#:: still stuck in the cave trying to find a way out ::

XO_Merced says:
::exits the lift onto the bridge::

OPS_Stricker says:
::Sitting at the OPS post::

Host CO_Lu says:
::sits in his chair pondering what steps to take next::

CSO_Monroe says:
::Sits at SCI I Configuring the Torpedo guidance::

XO_Merced says:
::still reading the report on the PADD in his hand, moves around the bridge absently to take his seat to the right of the Captain::

Host CO_Lu says:
XO: Commander. ::Nods::

OPS_Stricker says:
::monitoring communications and sensors::

XO_Merced says:
::looks up with a smile::  CO: Captain.

Host CO_Lu says:
XO: What’s the status of trying to get that dampening field down?

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The Wolf noses his way in the back of the cave, and looks back at the group then stands at the back of the cave

XO_Merced says:
CO: Ensign Monroe is almost ready to fire the torpedoes.  So far the probe we sent has not given us any significant clue as to how to bring it down.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: nods in the direction of the dog, and motions the team to follow, taking a position at the rear of the party, bat'leth at the ready::

CSO_Monroe says:
::Modifies the case load on the torpedoes::

Host CO_Lu says:
XO: Commander you have full authority to do what’s needed.

XO_Merced says:
CSO: How long till the torpedoes are ready?  CO: Thank you Captain.

OPS_Stricker says:
::Taps console::

Host Shann says:
ACTION: The AT feels a slight breeze in the cave.

XO_Merced says:
OPS:  Have you re-established contact with the AT yet?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: slowly moves out following the dog  deeper into the cave in the direction of the breeze flow, taps her COMM Badge::  XO: DR, Ravenprowler here, we are attempting to find a way out of this cave will keep you informed, Ravenprowler, out.:

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Yes sir, but it's minimal, the storm are still creating some interference...

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: It'll be ready in ten minutes.  I just have to calibrate the distance to detonate and release the gas.

FCO_Doole says:
CO: I am sensing that the Away Team isn't alone.

XO_Merced says:
::nods::  CSO:  Let me know when it is ready.

OPS_Stricker says:
CO: Verified to what the Lt has said. There are many indigenous life forms on the planet.

Host CO_Lu says:
FCO: Doole, sensing? 

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  As the AT gets to a corner they hear voices....................

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: draws back and motions the team to take cover.::

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Commander, shall I attempt to open a channel to the AT, sir? ::Looks back at the XO::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: moves to the head of the  line and moves quietly along the wall trying to peer at those to whom the voices belong.::

XO_Merced says:
OPS:  No.  Their last report was sufficient.

Host CO_Lu says:
::makes sure he has a mental barrier setup for the FCO::

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: Torpedoes are modified, sir.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The CMO sees before her a cavern that is full of old looking containment containers, several people walking about, talking

XO_Merced says:
::looks over at the CO for a moment::  CSO:  Fire.

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Aye Commander. ::Turns back to his console and starts working::

CSO_Monroe says:
::Fires the torpedoes and detonates in the ion field, and releases a gas::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: pulls out her tricorder and scans the containers, and the life forms, keeping low and out of site of the unknowns, motions the team to move up and arm weapons.::

FCO_Doole says:
::turns and looks at CO, smiling:: CO: Don't worry sir, I won't read your thoughts unless you ask me to. However I do have an idea that may bring down the field, or at least cut a hole it, long enough for the transporters to work.

OPS_Stricker says:
::Looks curiously at the FCO::

XO_Merced says:
::observing the gas dispersion on the main screen::  CSO: Report.

Host CO_Lu says:
::wonders why the XO didn't get the captains job::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: sets her phaser to stun and pulls her taj placing it in her teeth, growls within herself as she considers what to do.::

CSO_Monroe says:
::Scanning the field with the Sensor Pod:: XO: The gas is dispersing nicely and I should have the full field in minutes.

FCO_Doole says:
::waiting for the CO to respond::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  As the CMO is scanning on of her team trips and the group below hears them, and draws phasers to point at them

OPS_Stricker says:
::Returns working at his console::

Host Shann says:
@<Group below> ALL:  Come out hands away from your weapons

XO_Merced says:
::wait patiently for information to come in::

Host CO_Lu says:
FCO: What is that Mister Doole?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: stands more snuggly against the wall and calls out::  Aliens: We are a medical team from the USS LUNA.  We have no plans of hostility.  We are here to rescue some archeologists who have gone missing.

OPS_Stricker says:
::Monitoring comm with the AT::

Host Shann says:
@:<Lead alien> CMO:  Well you have found them but not exactly  as you planned.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: taps her COMM badge:: XO: It appears we have found our archeologists and some form of alien containers, what do you advise?::

FCO_Doole says:
CO: Suppose we remodulated the Deflector Dish to emit a tachyon bust at the field, it just might bring it down, or at least cut a hole big enough for the transporters to work.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  As the CMO touches her COM an ‘archeologist’ fires his phaser and stuns a red shirt team member

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Sir.  Doctor Tigs is sending us a comm.::Puts it on audio::

XO_Merced says:
::looks over at the CO before replying::  COMM: CMO:  Are you able to return to the shuttle?

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: The Ion Field is perfectly uniformed and analyzing the data the Ionization is in a multiphasic wavelength, which I have not seen before.

Host CO_Lu says:
FCO: In theory if this does work, we might save it as a last option.

OPS_Stricker says:
::Keeping the comm signal up and sustaining audio::

XO_Merced says:
CSO: Are you able to attack it with an inverse wavelength?

Host CO_Lu says:
CSO: Ensign what do you think about Mister Doole's plan?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#XO: We are under attack.  :: Motions the team to open fire.::

FCO_Doole says:
CO: I could run some simsulations.

XO_Merced says:
COMM: CMO: Who is attacking you?

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  Both groups go to cover and start firing in return

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: I'm detecting phaser fire on the surface the Doctor is reporting from.

XO_Merced says:
OPS: Can you determine from the type of fire who is attacking our team?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#XO: Aliens of some form sir.  We are returning fire.

Host CO_Lu says:
XO: Where is Commander Jokeg's team?

CSO_Monroe says:
CO: Sir, the multiphasic Ionization is multilayered It might be hard to implement.

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Yes sir, they are using similar phaser signature as the weapons the archeologists have with them and some are alien to these instruments sir.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The shots fired strike one of the containers...............

XO_Merced says:
CO: They are on the other side of the mountain sir.  It would take several hours for them to reach the CMO.

Host CO_Lu says:
OPS: Tell them to have phasers on heavy stun.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Fires at the lead alien , and prepared for hand to hand ::

Host CO_Lu says:
OPS: If they are overwhelmed retreat and wait for Commander Jokeg's team.

FCO_Doole says:
CSO: It may be hard to implement, but can it be done?

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  A pressurized explosion happens and a wave of something hit every one

XO_Merced says:
CO:  Sir, we could send a third team from the ship and they would reach the CMO more quickly than the CTO's team would.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: scans the debris from the container.::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The field spikes with more energy, and the area the field covers grows

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The scan she gets isn’t clear but something of Ionic energy was contained there

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: If it is a Multiphasic Ion stream, because our shields work in the same way but in energy not Ion Streams...

OPS_Stricker says:
CO: Aye sir, phasers are on heavy stun and yes sir to the Commanders team.

FCO_Doole says:
::repeating to the CSO:: CSO: It may be hard to implement, but can it be done?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#COMM XO: Sir I believe the containers are the source of the ionization field.

Host CO_Lu says:
FCO: But if it can be done is it repeatable?

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  Another container goes off; again the field spikes and gets bigger

Host CO_Lu says:
All: We don't need to blow out a deflector dish.

CSO_Monroe says:
FCO: Yes, it'll probably burn out the dish

XO_Merced says:
::eyes the fluctuating gas on the main viewer::  CSO:  What's happening with the field out there?  I thought you said it was uniform.

OPS_Stricker says:
CO: yes sir...

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: The gas is fluctuating within the Ion Streams, because of its Multiphasic characteristic.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: looks around for the dog, and motions the team to stay low and stay out of the path of the exploding containers, continues to scan for life forms close by.::

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  But it looks like it's growing.  Is that possible?

XO_Merced says:
COMM: CMO:  Get your team out of there and prepare for evacuation.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The AT hears more howling from behind them, but the dog they have now is there growling

XO_Merced says:
CO: I recommend we send another shuttle down there to recover them, sir.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The CMO finds that there are more life forms further down behind the cavern area the aliens are in

FCO_Doole says:
CO: I’ve just run some simulations. It can't be done. It'll blow the deflector dish and then we'd have to put into a Starbase for a new one.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: scans the walls for any weakness and prepares to blast the team out of the caves.::

FCO_Doole says:
CSO: Any other ideas?

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  On sensors a ship appears from on the other side of the planet

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Sir, there is a ship on the other side of planet...

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: a green shirt appears and fireman carries the wounded red shirt back into the shadow, beginning initial care and preparing to evacuate the wounded.::

XO_Merced says:
CO:  With the FCO piloting I am sure that we could... OPS:  Identify.

FCO_Doole says:
::leans forward:: CO: Another ship is on the other side of the planet

FCO_Doole says:
XO: we could what?

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  At about the same time the field automatically drops, and some one beams into the room

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: finds the dog and asks him if there is another way out of the cave, petting him to stop him from growling too loudly.::

FCO_Doole says:
XO/CO: The field has just dropped.

CSO_Monroe says:
::Console erupts:: XO: The Field is down.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The ship is an Akira Class Federation ship

XO_Merced says:
OPS: Can you get a lock on the ATs and Archeologists?

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Sir, the unknown ship is a Federation class starship, Akira class

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#::  scans the intruder and prepares to charge bat'leth to kill.::

XO_Merced says:
OPS: What is the registry?

Host Shann says:
#: <The man that beamed in> All: OK that is enough. Aliens: Stop shooting.

XO_Merced says:
OPS: Hail them.

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Yes sir, we can get them out of there.  Hailing channels open

Host Shann says:
COMM:  Luna: This is the USS Scarborough.  Well done for your first mission.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#COMM XO: Sir, beam us out we are under fire.

Host CO_Lu says:
COMM: SCAR: Would you clarify?

Host Shann says:
COMM:  Luna:  Welcome to Benning's outpost, one of the top training facilities in the Federation.

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: I've got a lock sir.

XO_Merced says:
OPS:  Beam the AT up.

FCO_Doole says:
::big grin:: Self: They were there the whole time. I wonder why I didn't sense them.

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: That explains the Multiphasic Ion Field.

Host Shann says:
#ACTION:  Fed Officer on the planet:  Well done Doctor.  You are as good as they said you are. ::offers hand::

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Transports the AT to the Luna::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: looks puzzled and takes the hand of the officer::

XO_Merced says:
::frowns at the main screen::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
#:: stands at attention, and motions to her team to do the same.::

Host Shann says:
#CMO:  Welcome to Benning’s outpost. This is one of the top training facilities for Starfleet.   You did wonderful

XO_Merced says:
OPS:  Is the team aboard yet?

Host CO_Lu says:
::mutters under his  breath:: Self: Benning’s outpost again, eh.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
OFF: Thank you, Sir, A pleasure to serve as always.

XO_Merced says:
::looks over at the CO, having barely caught the mumbling::

Host CO_Lu says:
XO: This is where the Ganymede had their Urban Combat Training, for Close Quarter Combat exercises.

Host Shann says:
<Scarborough>COMM: CO: Your crew has completed there training and you have a 2 day leave here at the out post while we calculate the scores

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Stand by sir

Host CO_Lu says:
XO: I think this is the same Benning’s outpost.

XO_Merced says:
::purses lips::  CO: I see.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The ATs are beamed back

XO_Merced says:
OPS:  What is the delay Lieutenant?

CSO_Monroe says:
Self: Multiphasic Ion Field hmmm... ::Takes the sensor reading and starts analyzing it.::

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Sir all AT teams are back aboard the Luna, and safely sir...I'm sorry for the delay.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: remains at attention, and awaits the dismissed order.::

Host Shann says:
<Scarborough> COMM: Luna:  I hope to meet you soon Captain.   Good luck. ::closes link::

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  Arrange for the return of our shuttlecraft please.

XO_Merced says:
OPS:  Noted.  *CMO* Welcome back Doctor.

OPS_Stricker says:
XO: Comm channel closed to the Scarborough.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*XO*: Thank you, Sir.  Permission to debrief my team and return to duties, sir.

FCO_Doole says:
:: makes arrangements:: XO: Shuttle is on its way

Host CO_Lu says:
*CMO*: looking forward to seeing how you did,

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CO*: Thank you Sir, it is my pleasure to serve.:

Host CO_Lu says:
*CMO*: Doctor would you and your team join us at the lounge for a couple of drinks.

Host CO_Lu says:
ALL: That includes the bridge crew too.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CO*: Sir, AYE, after debrief Sir, Ravenprowler, OUT.:

CSO_Monroe says:
CO: I want to analyze the Ion Field readings I got, sir. So next time sir.

Host CO_Lu says:
CSO: Work can wait ensign.  That's an order.

Host CO_Lu says:
::smiles::

FCO_Doole says:
::pilots shuttle by remote and brings it to the main shuttle bay:: Shuttle bay: Open the main shuttle bay doors.

Host Shann says:
