U.S.S. Pharaoh
SD 10206.13

The USS Pharaoh is still in orbit around planet IV of the Theta Reticulum system. The fleet of ships that was in orbit of the planet and that retrieved food & minerals from the planet have left the area and is not reading on Long Range sensors anymore. Their course had them heading in a Galactic southerly direction heading somewhere between Cardassian, Romulan & Federation space.

The crew is preparing a landing party to the planet before giving permission to the colony ships to land.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
*CEO,CMO* Meet me in Transporter Room 1 for an away mission.

Host CO_Starks says:
*CMO* What's Commander Chalin's condition dr.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks around for the Captain::

Host CO_Starks says:
:: on bridge ::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
::overhears the CO and pauses::

CMO_Releben says:
*CSO* Aye Cmdr... on my way.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::in quarters dressing in casual uniform::  ::hears COM message and taps badge::  *CSO* Acknowledged

CNS_Luchena says:
::walks toward the CO and loiters patiently nearby until he finishes his conversation with the CMO::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
*CMO* Standby, doctor...does the XO require your attention?

CMO_Releben says:
*CO*  He is stable Skipper.... although he will be confined to sickbay for the next 12 hours until we can complete some final testing....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::puts on vest and jacket, then grabs his gadget belt::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks to see if there are any replicators on the bridge::

Host CO_Starks says:
:: report to the transporter room ::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::exits quarters heading for transporter room 1::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
*CMO* OK, doctor....you're with me.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
::exits bridge onto TL::

CNS_Luchena says:
::approaches the CO::  CO:  Sir.  Lt. Mikal Luchena reporting for duty.  ::salutes::

CMO_Releben says:
*CO* Aye sir.... Releben out.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::enters transporter room::

OPS_Wave says:
::scans the COMM channels::

CMO_Releben says:
*CSO* Acknowledged Cmdr.  I shall meet you there.  Releben out.

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the CSO walk by and recognizes him::

OPS_Wave says:
::looks around at the Alpha crew, who are all new to her::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: at ease, welcome to first shift. We're short handed and I'll have most of the bridge crew on the planet's surface. I hope you remember you Starship Operations extension courses

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I was thoroughly cross-trained on bridge posts during my last assignment Sir.  Where do you need me?

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
::walks into TR:: CEO:  Got your stuff ready?

OPS_Wave says:
::is so glad the CNS is under the gun::

CMO_Releben says:
::instructs the Medical Staff as to duties for the XO and leaves for the TR::

CNS_Luchena says:
::picks up an odd emotion from OPS::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::swings around::  CSO: You know better than to ask that question....   ::smiles his smitten and proud smile::

OPS_Wave says:
::checks the power allocations according to the triphasic schema::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: Man the Science station I'll need you to match wits with OPS and get cracking on our alien Data block

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::checks vest and accoutrements::  <check spelling>

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods and takes the science station::

Host CO_Starks says:
::turns chair:: OPS: Mr. Wave, Bring up that Data block we've got and the "new" Universal Translator matrix that Lt. Irvin put together

CNS_Luchena says:
::pokes away at the console trying to access the data block::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
::checks tricorder and phaser to make sure they're tweaked properly::

CMO_Releben says:
::enters the TR, gears up, and takes his place next to the others::   CSO: Cmdr, reporting as ordered.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::walks over to the transporter console next to the transporter chief and looks on::  CSO: Have the coordinates been fed down yet?

Host CO_Starks says:
*CSO* are you ready Lt. Cmdr. ?

OPS_Wave says:
:nods:: CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Wave says:
::does as asked::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
*CO* Affirmative, sir....permission to depart ::steps up on transporter pad::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
CEO: That's Affirmative Eli.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::walks out from behind the console and steps on to the transporter pad::

CNS_Luchena says:
::still poking away at the science console::  CO:  When you have some time Sir, could we discuss your expectations of a ships counselor?

Host CO_Starks says:
:: taps on command console :: *CSO* your beam in point is what will soon be main street for the primary colony. Begin your Geo/Bio/Meto scan there and work outward in the pre-defined search pattern.

CNS_Luchena says:
::finds the data he is looking for.  Now what?::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: I assure you, when I get a break you'll have my full attention

OPS_Wave says:
::begins to try to decode the block, but has no luck::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
*CO* Understood sir.  Transporter Chief:  Energize.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::transports to planet ::

OPS_Wave says:
::taps a few buttons on her panel::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The landing party arrives in a beautiful clearing. The planet is class M and the air smells fresh and pure.

CNS_Luchena says:
::is entranced by the wave patterns of the communication::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::looks around and whistles::  All:  I think I may stay here.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::flips out his tricorder and inhales deeply::

CMO_Releben says:
@  ::materializes on the surface and instinctively begins scans::

CNS_Luchena says:
::hums a tune inspired by what he is looking at::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: Too few gadgets to keep me busy.....   ::smiles and continues scanning::

OPS_Wave says:
::smiles at the CNS and continues to decode::

Host CO_Starks says:
OPS: Send word to the colonist fleet that our survey has begun.

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: Let's get that Wave pattern for the data block on the main screen

OPS_Wave says:
:nods:: CO: Aye, Sir. ::crooks an antennae and does as ordered::

CNS_Luchena says:
::puts the image up the viewscreen while continuing to hum::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: begin running it through all know Federation decryption algorithms

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::walks casually in a northerly direction::

CMO_Releben says:
@  CSO: Exactly what are we looking for?  The planet appears wonderful...

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::smiles:: CMO/CEO:  All right let us get to work.  CMO:  You begin biological scans.  CEO:  I want to find out if this area is logistically suitable for colonization.  Both:  I'll take ecological scans.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Oh right.  Good idea.  ::concentrates back on his console::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Below the mountain... the away team spots a huge rock structure... sort of an obelisk

CMO_Releben says:
@  CSO: Aye.  ::begins moving about scanning like a fool::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::pans around to the left continuing scans::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::points to the obelisk::  AT:  Check that out.

CNS_Luchena says:
::runs the algorithms and realizes this is going to take a while.::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS/OPS: If this thing is written like they speak then we could be dealing with hundreds of alien language phrases all wrapped into one.

CMO_Releben says:
@  ::stops and turns::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::sees something on the geology reading then looks up to see an obelisk in the distance::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Could be, Sir.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::heads toward the unusual structure...initiates scans::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: try to have the main computer separate any words and phrases that appear of the same dialect

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@All: What is that?  I don't think that it's natural

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the display on his console as all the numbers flicker by::

Host CO_Starks says:
OPS: begin a cross reference on these dialect groups against the UT

CMO_Releben says:
@  ::walks slowly toward the structure, scanning it for biological evidence::

OPS_Wave says:
::look up and wonders how much caffeine the CO has consumed this shift:: CO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::scans for energy readings::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Definitely seems to be a mix of languages, but the computer doesn't know any of them.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CEO:  I want a structural analysis...let me know what you find.

OPS_Wave says:
CO: Results negative, Sir. No matches.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::notes energy reading and switches modes::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: there's got to be a cipher, some way to start a translation matrix on at least some of these languages, keep on it

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Symbols can be seen on the obelisk

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: This thing is OLD!  No energy coming from it, but it reads in the......   Surely not......

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  We'd need to separate them out first Sir.  That alone will take hours.

CMO_Releben says:
@  CSO: Something interesting here.... this structure appears to be 10,000 millennia old....

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CEO/CMO:  Come again...?

CMO_Releben says:
@  CSO: Dirt has nothing on this stick in the mud....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: Confirmed.....  This thing is older than.....  Older than history itself

Host CO_Starks says:
*CSO* Pharaoh to away team Mr. Brehgorn, what's your status?

CNS_Luchena says:
::begins trying to group the communications according to syntax types::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@*CO* We've come across an obelisk like structure which dates back 10 thousand millennia sir...no energy readings, but the age is confirmed.

CNS_Luchena says:
::overhears the COMM and wishes he could see it::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CEO: Can you make anything of those symbols?

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: Gimme a sec.....

CMO_Releben says:
@  CSO: I'm no science officer.... but isn't that nearly impossible?

CNS_Luchena says:
::checks on the analysis and finds it hasn't progressed much::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::adjusts scanning bandwidth::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CMO:  go on, doctor...

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: Not from this distance... It would be nice to get a closer look.....

CMO_Releben says:
@  CSO: 10,000 millennia?  That seems improbable... can we confirm anything else present to be that old?

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@AT: Lets move in.  ::heads closer to the structure::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders if there are any rules against having beverages on the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:
::decides that now is probably not a good time to ask::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
::walking:: @CMO:  Do you mean anything else on the planet or anything else in Starfleet records?

OPS_Wave says:
::continues to tap away happily::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks over at OPS and contemplates flirting with the Andorian::

OPS_Wave says:
::notices the CNS looking at her and smiles, blushing a very attractive shade of violet::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::continues scans while walking::  CSO: As we get closer, I can make it out...  Looks like a form of some dialect.....

CMO_Releben says:
@  CSO: Sorry Cmdr.... my math has gotten the better of me... ::walks closer to the structure::

Host CO_Starks says:
*CSO*  This could be related to the Alien that were her, keep us updated

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles boldly back and wonders if she's free after her shift::

OPS_Wave says:
::gets back to work::

OPS_Wave says:
::is shy::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CEO:  I'm getting that too...perhaps Iconian....or a predecessor of that language.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::tries to attempt a translation of one of the symbols::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@:: walks closer to the CSO and looks on his tricorder::  CSO: You're the expert here..... 

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at his console again and realizes this could take hours to analyze::

CMO_Releben says:
@  ::looks for a pattern in the symbols::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Ummm... sir.  This is going to take awhile.  Is there anything else I could be doing to assist while I'm waiting?

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::looks back at own tricorder... still walking::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Away Team arrives next to the obelisk

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::looks at the markings::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Birds can be heard chirping in the forest... a very pleasant day

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: Well why don't you fill me in on your past service record.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::continues an attempt at translation...cross-referencing symbols with Iconian, Dewan, Icobar, and Dianasian language records::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: We haven't had a full time counselor on duty in a while.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I graduated from the Academy just over a year ago.  From then until now I was assigned to a Nebula Class starship.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@AT:  The Iconians we're known to have mastered the technique of dimensional transport....I wonder if this could be a conduit for such transportation...

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::walks around looking at the structure::

Host CO_Starks says:
:: sits back :: CNS: Nice and roomy them Nebula class ships are eh?

CNS_Luchena says:
Yes Sir.  I spent most of my "counseling" time in the ship's lounge.  Very spacious.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders what OPS thinks of him::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Obelisk is approximately 10 meters tall

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: you probably dealt with relationship issues, childhood trauma, the occasional nightmare...

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: hate to burst your bubble but you won't find much of that here

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: I dunno how that could be....  I'm not getting ANY energy readings....

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Post-traumatic stress disorder more than anything else Sir.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: Not even energy residue

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I also have some experience in diplomacy.

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks the CO could use some advice in that area::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CEO: Understood.

OPS_Wave says:
::wiggles her antennae in frustration::

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::continues to scan the structure, searching for some sort of syntax::

Host CO_Starks says:
:: leans forward :: CNS: On this ship I worry about Combat stress, close living quarters, no privacy, and little to no r&r effecting my crew.  Think you could handle such things?

CNS_Luchena says:
::is momentarily distracted by the wiggling antennae of OPS::

OPS_Wave says:
::tries another cross-referencing biorhythm::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Once I learn to handle them myself, I'm sure I'll be most effective, Sir.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@Self: this structure must be of significant historical value....it certainly would be nice to make roots here...

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::feels on the structure with his hand:: Self:  Maybe there is an access port or door or something....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::sees a blip on tricorder:: CSO: I have something....

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CEO:  Oh?

OPS_Wave says:
::compares the results in the matrix algorithm tray, shakes her head and begins again::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: I'll expect nothing less. As for you diplomacy skills, I'm most relieved to hear about them. Our last counselor was thrown into a diplomatic situation that she wasn't prepared for and it almost went very badly for the crew

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::walks over to CEO::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: Neutronium......  VERY Dense

CMO_Releben says:
@ CSO: Cmdr... same here.  The structure is incredibly dense.... cannot detect anything below the surface....

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: I don't anticipate a repeat of history, but being prepared can't hurt

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods distractedly at the CO his mind really on the cute Andorian::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CEO:  We're definitely not gonna be able to scan through that.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: Nope......   There has got to be a way into this thing.....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::continues feeling on the outside of the structure with his hand::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CEO/CMO:  Try to find a way inside this thing.  

CMO_Releben says:
@ CSO: I would also wonder why something this deliberate was placed here...  My first guess would be a warning.  My second is historically significant to the original inhabitants.....  if there ever were such a thing.....

Host CO_Starks says:
OPS: anything Ensign?

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CMO:  These markings bear clear similarities to known Iconian symbols...

Host CO_Starks says:
:: looks back at main screen as waves of cryptic data roll across the screen

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::thinks::  CSO: What have you been able to come up with on those markings?

CMO_Releben says:
@ CSO: A possible Rosetta Stone then, Cmdr?

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CMO:  My guess is that this structure was built by Iconians, they're predecessors, or perhaps a cousin species.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: The secret must rest there.....

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Would you like me to clear that Sir?  ::gestures toward the viewscreen::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CEO:  My efforts at translation are inconclusive as of yet.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@CSO: I have an idea.....  May I have your tricorder a second.....

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::lifts eyes:: CEO:  Of course, Lieutenant.  ::hands over his tricorder::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: no rush, here's hoping that if we stare at it long enough a pattern will emerge

CMO_Releben says:
@  CSO: Cmdr.... permission to search the surrounding area for further possibilities?

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::takes tricorder and taps a command on it::  ::taps COM badge:: *Pharaoh* Irvin to Pharaoh.....

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  It does have an interesting flow to it.  ::watches the sound patterns dance across the screen::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CMO:  You know, as a side note, historical records dub the Iconians as Demons of Air and Darkness....have at it, but be careful.

OPS_Wave says:
::shakes her head as she thinks they are both nuts::

CNS_Luchena says:
::begins to hum again::

Host CO_Starks says:
:: looks at chronometer :: *CSO* progress report Lt. Cmdr. ?

CMO_Releben says:
@ CSO: That's what I am afraid of Cmdr....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::taps badge again:: *Pharaoh* Irvin to Pharaoh... Come in....

CMO_Releben says:
@  ::begins to scan the subsurface to determine how deep this thing goes or by chance find a backdoor::

Host CO_Starks says:
*CEO* We read you Lt. Irvin, report

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@*CO* Scans of the structure show it is composed of neutronium...impossible to scan through with our tricorders.  We're attempting to translate symbols on the obelisk, and also to find some way inside.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::taps on tricorder::  *Pharaoh* I'm about to transmit some data from a tricorder up to the ship...  Stand By.....

Host CO_Starks says:
OPS: stand by to receive the CEO's data transmission
CNS_Luchena says:
::prepares the science console to display the data when it arrives::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@*Pharaoh* Compare that to the data from the Universal Translator report after our encounter...  Is there a correlation?

Host CO_Starks says:
*CSO* do you believe there is an interior? It could just be a solid mass.

CMO_Releben says:
@  ::continues searching the area for caves or other artificial surfaces::

OPS_Wave says:
::nods::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: run the CEO's data through the UT matrix

OPS_Wave says:
CO: Ready, Sir.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::waits for an answer and hopes::  CSO: May all my guesses be right.....

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@*CO* Data is inconclusive...but the structure seems too large to have been built rock solid, unless neutronium has some sort of exploitable value.

OPS_Wave says:
::transfers the data to the CNS's terminal::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees this is visual data and pulls up the images::

Host CO_Starks says:
*CSO* understood

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::finding little to nothing, returns to the structure::

Host CO_Starks says:
OPS: while the CNS is running those symbols through the UT, cross-reference them against any languages in the data block.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@*Pharaoh* Cross-reference the Iconian language database against what we received the other day and these symbols that you are looking at....  

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@*Pharaoh* I hope you find something....

Host CO_Starks says:
*CEO* one step ahead of you Eli

CNS_Luchena says:
::admires the form of the symbols::

OPS_Wave says:
CO: Understood. ::begins yet another cross::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::impressed by the CEO's idea::

CMO_Releben says:
@ CSO: Cmdr, the area is barren of other structures or markings...  In my opinion, this was clearly put here to get your attention....

CNS_Luchena says:
::cross matches a digital representation of the images with the sound data::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CMO: No signs of ruins of any type?

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks for anything they might have in common::

CMO_Releben says:
@ CSO: Nothing that I could locate.  Nothing on the surface and no subterranean <sp?> structures noted.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: There is a sudden energy discharge than can be seen on sensors from the Away Team and the ship. A completely unknown type of energy.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@Self: My god!

OPS_Wave says:
::realigns the matrix subsequences and allows for a larger data pool::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Contact is lost with the Away Team and the Away Team cannot raise the ship.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@All: WHOA

Host CO_Starks says:
:: hears indicator on the SRS go off ::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::attempts to contact the Pharaoh...to no avail::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: what's that?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Sir!

CMO_Releben says:
@  ::blinks several times::  CSO: Cmdr?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Energy discharge from the Away Team's location.

Host CO_Starks says:
*CSO* Pharaoh to away team....

Host CO_Starks says:
:: hears static ::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Sensors on the Pharaoh show the Away team as gone.... Away Team's tricorder show the Pharaoh as gone

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@AT: We've lost communications...let's head back to our original transport spot.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@AT: Belay that order.

Host CO_Starks says:
OPS: reestablish a comm link

CMO_Releben says:
@CSO: Sir can we confirm the SD?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Sir!  Sensors can't locate the away team!

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::scans for the ship::  CSO: Uhhh.....  ::Gulp::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: get a transporter lock, locate the team

CNS_Luchena says:
::is panicking::

OPS_Wave says:
::attempts to re-establish contact::

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CMO:  Attempt to do so, doctor.

CMO_Releben says:
@ AT: When are we I believe is the next question.

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: anything?

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::scans for life forms::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I can't find any trace of them.  ::frantically pushing buttons on his console::

CMO_Releben says:
@ CSO: Aye  ::scans star patterns to determine SD::

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: what was that energy discharge? a weapon?

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: could that thing they were scanning have been bobby-tapped?

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::looks at the tricorder in disbelief::  CSO: I would have to agree with the CMO.... I think....   The ship is NOT up there....  ::continues staring at the tricorder::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I've no idea sir.  The computer has no record of anything like it.

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::turns attn to the CEO::  Self:  Uh oh...

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@::scans the obelisk to determine if it's still emitting energy::

CNS_Luchena says:
::modifies sensors to try and detect the obelisk based on the data the away team sent up::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::takes a deep breath trying to 'get it together'::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@Self: maybe the scans are off...  ::reconfigures tricorder:

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@AT:  That thing's not emitting any more energy...whatever it's done, it appears to be finished.

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: direct all sensor arrays to that obelisk, full scan

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::rescans the rock to see how old it is NOW::

Host CO_Starks says:
OPS: continue trying to hail their combadges

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Trying Sir.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@CMO:  Any progress on the stardate?

OPS_Wave says:
::cross modulates the harmonics and tries again::

CMO_Releben says:
@  CSO: Still working on it.... I can't even confirm the age of the structure at this point....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::drops to a knee and sighs::  CSO: Confirmed....   Whatever happened...... The ship is gone....   

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  The obelisk is still intact.

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: any results from our readings of that energy burst?

OPS_Wave says:
::shakes her head:: CO: They are.....not there, Sir...or at least we can't see them or reach them.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@::looks to the CMO:: CMO: Can you confirm that it is there and we aren't looking at a figment of our imagination?

Host CO_Starks says:
CNS: was the entire away team...vaporized?

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@AT: Okay folks, our first order of business seems to be to procure our own survival....we need to find water.

Host CSO_LtCmdr_Brehgorn says:
@AT: I'll get on that...you two try to find out what the heck happened.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  It seems likely the energy burst came from the obelisk.  But there is nothing coming from it now. I can't determine how the energy would even have affected the away team.
