Host Beth says:
Summary: The crew of the Pharaoh are finally able to start returning to their ship.  But how can they fix what seems so unfixable?  Stayed tuned....

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Quchant says:
::still talking to the local town doctor::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::standing by his bed, in his make-shift room in the barn on the Hickock ranch, looks down at his Starfleet uniform laid out on the bed, as he cinches up the suspenders on the new clothes he got in town::

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Moves quietly up behind Quch.::  CTO:  Cmdr....  ::Nods to the doctor.:

Host Beth says:
<Doc> CTO: ::belches after his meal:: So you wanted to know about the snakes and that disease...eh?

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc: Sure.....have you met our heavy footed friend here?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::takes the comm. badge and pins it to his shirt, then after a sigh::  Self:  I'm doing the right thing.

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::looks the XO up and down and grins:: XO: Well hello pretty lady...

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: Don't worry Santi...he doesn't know you as well as I

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Clips him on the side of the head.:: CTO:  I'm light as a feather mister.  ::takes a seat.::  Doc:  Hello there handsome.. I'm the XO of the ship and the former Chief Medical Officer.  We have something in common.  ::Grins::

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc: She's also well versed in diplomatic relations...as you can see

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: The doc here was telling me about a disease that the snakes contracted and died from when they first arrived here.  There are some papers we can scan using our tricorders to figure out what it is

Host XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  I just wanted to let you know we are starting to head back to the ship.

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::leans back and spits tobacco on the already stained floor:: CTO: With her looks she can bash me upside the head as much as she wants.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::leaves the barn, heads for a horse that is hitched up near the house::

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc: You should see her sister....  ::winks::

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Perks up with the news::  CTO:  Oh... now that is interesting.  Balena needs in this conversation...

FCO_Hawkes says:
<Wayne> FCO:  Hey Coop!  ::comes out from the house::  Where yeah go'in?

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc; Tell my future sister in law here what you were telling me about the name of the disease

FCO_Hawkes says:
::un-hitching horse and mounts it::  Wayne:  Just heading into town, got someone to see.

FCO_Hawkes says:
<Wayne>  FCO:  Can I come?

Host XO_Santiago says:
::looks at Quch then squeals...::  CTO:  YOU ARE FINALLY GOING TO ASK HER!!!?  YES!!  Hmmm but where are you going to find the other two people for you quad?

FCO_Hawkes says:
Wayne:  Not this time.  ::pauses::  I'll be back soon.  ::turns the horse and rides off::

CMO_Balena says:
::exits one of the building and see the CNS::

CTO_Quchant says:
::winces at the sound of her voice::

Host Beth says:
<Doc>: XO: Yeah...it was some funny name called.....::watches the XO squeal and thinks that the maybe space warps people’s brains::

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Taps her commbadge::  *CMO*:  Doctor, this is Santiago, could you please come to the Doc's house.

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc: sorry about this...she gets a little excitable...and then sees something shiny...and then it'll take all day to get her back on track

CNS_Montaug says:
::nods head to CMO:: CMO: Hello there.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Sticks her tongue out at Thomas::

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: No quad.  And concentrate please...this is important

CMO_Balena says:
*XO*: I'll be there as soon as possible sir

CMO_Balena says:
CNS: Counselor how are you today?

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::shrugs:: CTO: Must be all that space dust ya'll are sniffing up there.

CNS_Montaug says:
CMO: Fine, sir, mind if I join you?

Host XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Let’s wait until the Doc gets here.

CMO_Balena says:
CNS: Not at all ::heads for the Doc house

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: ok.

CMO_Balena says:
CNS: How are you doing?

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::blinks:: XO: I am here already.

Host XO_Santiago says:
Doc:  So where did you go to school?  I went to UCLA then Starfleet Medical.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Chuckles:: Doc:  My Doc.

CTO_Quchant says:
::smacks Santi::

CNS_Montaug says:
::follows closely:: CMO: A bit strained.  There's many needing consoling to cope with the disease.

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc: She also starts to babble a lot

Host XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Thomas, stop that.  I'm not a substitute for my sister.

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: you don't have the stamina....

CMO_Balena says:
CNS: Well hopefully will get the timeline back to normal soon and everything will be back to normal

FCO_Hawkes says:
::reaches the outskirts of town, continues at a light trot::

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::looking confused:: XO: UCLA?  Starfleet?  What's that?  Another planet?

Host XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Oh, you think not huh... You need to talk to Richard.

Host XO_Santiago says:
Doc:  Yes it is... several light years away from here.

CMO_Balena says:
::moves up to the Doc house and knocks on the door::

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc: Where were from, they give the learning centers strange names

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: I did.  he warned me...but I went ahead and decided anyway

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::spits on the ground again:: CTO: I got the feeling that where yer from...everything is strange.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::sees the CMO outside the Doctor's house, steers the horse that way::

CNS_Montaug says:
CMO: Hopefully soon....they're starting to depress me...

Host XO_Santiago says:
Doc:  You got someone knocking on your door.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Vows to get even with Quch::

CTO_Quchant says:
::thinks the XO is going to get even....but he's going to be family...and that's even enough::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::thinks about how out of place an Andorian appears in this place, smiles::

Host XO_Santiago says:
CTO: So did she say yes yet?

Host Beth says:
<Doc> :;looks up:: XO: Who?  Huh?

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::Calls out:: Come on in!

Host XO_Santiago says:
Doc:  The door... someone knocking.

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: It's difficult to tell with her...you know what she's like...almost as distracted as her sister

CNS_Montaug says:
FCO: Hello, sir.  Remind me, what is the name of that beast?

Host XO_Santiago says:
::chuckles::  CTO:  Then she said yes... dear brother, you have no idea what you are getting yourself in for.

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::watches the two of them:: CTO/XO: If I'm interrupting yer conversation...I can step outside.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::stops at the Doctor's house, dismounts and ties the reins to the post::  CNS: A horse.  ::pats the horse's neck::  Remarkable animal, isn't it.

Host XO_Santiago says:
Doc:  No...no... just chit chat till the rest get here.

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc; As I said....I apologize...she gets a little....loco  sometimes

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::shrugs:: XO: Didn't know if this was all some sort of mating ritual or not.  You folk are plenty strange.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::approaches the CMO and CNS::  CMO/CNS:  Hey, you folks see the Captain anywhere?

Host XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  And I'm still your boss.

Host Beth says:
<Doc> CMO: Whoever is at the door...I said to come in!

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: ::sighs::....yeh....I know

CNS_Montaug says:
::wearily pats the horse's nose:: FCO: This was common transport for your kind in this era?  And no sign of the captain yet.

CMO_Balena says:
::opens the door and steps inside and at the XO:: XO: Sir you need me?

FCO_Hawkes says:
CNS:  Yeah, it was, or is.   That one's name is Buck.

Host XO_Santiago says:
CMO:  Yes, the CTO has stumbled upon something.  Information from the good doctor here.  I want you in on it.

CTO_Quchant says:
::aloud to no one in particular:: Finally someone sane to talk to

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Becomes serious now.::  CTO/Doc:  Ok, what is it you wanted to tell me.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::follows the CMO inside, nods to the XO and CTO::

Host XO_Santiago says:
::motions for Hawkes to come over.::

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: Doctor Balena.....this gentleman is also a doctor...he was telling me how the snakes contracted a disease that killed them from the humans they took prisoner.  I want to review his files with the tricorder and see if we can figure out what it is

CTO_Quchant says:
::nods at Hawkes::

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::looks up as more people crowd into his office and chuckles:: All: Ya'll sure do like to move in packs...don't ya.

CMO_Balena says:
::moves into the room and closes the door behind him::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::moves over to the XO::  XO:  Commander, I...   I was hoping to see the Captain.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::nods at the CNS.::

CMO_Balena says:
::moves near the XO and listens::

Host XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  I'm afraid she is a little busy at the moment Lt.  Is there something I can help you with?

CNS_Montaug says:
Buck: Good, horse, creature. FCO: Interesting…completely loyal?

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc: Can you show my medical friend here your files on the early reports of the disease please?

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Well...  I don't know, rightly.  Its just that.  Well, we've been here for a couple weeks and...  Sir, I don't think I want to leave.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::fumbles with a PADD in his right hand::

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::looks from one to the other and then finally settles on the CMO:: CMO: Sure...but they are in bad shape.  But I remember someone calling the disease something that sounds like "chilly" or "freezing".  ::holds out a paper all worn and torn tot he CMO::

Host XO_Santiago says:
::looks at Hawkes then stands up and moves over to a corner pulling Hawkes with her.::

CMO_Balena says:
::takes the paper and takes a look at it::

Host XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  What do you mean you don't want to leave? ::whispers.::

CMO_Balena says:
Doc: Cold?

CNS_Montaug says:
::enters Doc's office::

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  I ahhh...  I want to stay, here, on this planet.  ::wearily hands the XO the PADD with his resignation written on it::

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::snaps his fingers:: CMO: that's it!  Cold.....I knew it was something silly like that.  Unfortunately all the radiation from the snakes has totally eradicated that disease from this planet.  So we got nothing to use for it.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::takes the PADD but doesn't look at it.::  FCO:  Hawk.. I can understand why you would want to stay...but this is almost like suicide.  ::Takes a deep breath.::  When the timeline is restored there is a very good chance you would cease to exist.

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: Do we have the sequence for the common cold in the medical database?

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  We don't know that for sure,  this time line might continue.

CMO_Balena says:
CTO: We should if it has not been erased yet sir

Host XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Or it may not.  You know temporal mechanics as well as I do.

CMO_Balena says:
Doc: Radiation? Snakes? Did I miss something?

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: See if you can access it...we need to reintroduce the common cold to the snakes.

CNS_Montaug says:
XO: Ceasing to exist is a very painless way to go, I'd prefer it if I get the chance

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  I surely do.  But its a risk I feel compelled to take.

Host XO_Santiago says:
CNS:  If you were dying yes, but Lt Hawkes is not.

Host XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  I'm sorry Lt.  I can't let you take that chance.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: comes out of the bathroom and walks towards the XO ::

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Startled to see the Capt.::  CO:  Capt?  I thought you were with Hickock...

CNS_Montaug says:
CO: Greetings Captain! ::salutes::

Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Remind me to go see Balena when we get back to the ship.

Host XO_Santiago says:
CO:  I'll do you one better Capt.  He is sitting right over there.  Something wrong?

CTO_Quchant says:
::points at the CMO::

CMO_Balena says:
::looks at the paper ::

Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  I was, but, according to him..."nature called"  remind me to look up that reference too.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::pauses::  XO:  I think its my choice to make...  Look, I'm willing to help finish the repairs to the Pharaoh.  But after that, I will return to the planet.

CMO_Balena says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Sir I'm right here

Host XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Let's talk more about this please Lt.  I think we need to look at all angles.  Would you please do that?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::notices the Captain, and feels a wave of anxiety::

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Of course.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  I think I may have picked up something from the locals, I seem to be having stomach problems.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::nods::  FCO:  Ok then.  Please continue with the repairs and I'll speak with you in a few hours then?

Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  Is there a problem Mister Hawkes.

Host XO_Santiago says:
CNS:  I like to speak to you.

CMO_Balena says:
::places the papers on a table and opens his medical tricorder::

Host XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Nothing that I can't handle Capt.  ::Hoping to hold telling the Capt. for a bit.::

CMO_Balena says:
CO: Have a seat sir

FCO_Hawkes says:
::looks to the CO::  CO:  Ask the XO, sir.  ::turns and moves off towards the exit.::

CNS_Montaug says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  Mister Hawkes, exactly where are you going?

Host XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Ma'am.  I told him to finish the repairs on the Pharaoh.  He is just following orders.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::turns to the CO::  CO:  To continue with repairs, sir.

Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  Wait for me, I'll be right behind you, I think I should return to the ship as well.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::looks at Hawkes, saying not to say anything to the Capt.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::nods to the CO, then steps out to wait on the porch::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Let's do this on the ship, I'll feel alot better in my own quarters.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  When you are ready to come aboard, come and see me.

CMO_Balena says:
CO: I was not aware that the Pharaoh was up and running. Is the transporter working

Host Beth says:
<Doc> CMO: Before you go back I got something else to show you.  It's what that disease did to the snakes.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  No, I'll be going with the FCO.

Host XO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Walk with me please.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Heads out the door.::

CMO_Balena says:
::looks at the Doc and wait for him to show him::

CNS_Montaug says:
XO: Aye sir. ::follows the XO out::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Report to me when you are back on board the ship Doctor.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::heads to the road intent on following it.  Walking slowly.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: walks out onto the porch where the FCO is. :: FCO:  After you Mister Hawkes.

CMO_Balena says:
CO: Yes sir

CTO_Quchant says:
::watches from the side of the room

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::hands him another piece of tattered paper and includes the CTO in his discussion:: CMO: See...says here that them snakes got all congested.  Couldn't breathe.  Looks like they only got so much lung power...ya know?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::motions to the shuttle, about 100 meters away::  CO: This way.

Host XO_Santiago says:
CNS:  I'm concerned about Hawkes.. ::Concern on her face.:: Have you noticed any problems since we have been on the planet?

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: Sounds like something I read in one of the medical databases once

CMO_Balena says:
::looks through the paper work:: Doc: May I take theses?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::reaches the shuttle, taps the hatch release::

CMO_Balena says:
::smiles:: CTO: Sir you don't look like the type to read the medical database

CNS_Montaug says:
::with a bit of discomfort:: XO: Well, actually yes.  I've found it difficult for him to discuss returning to normal time, he seems more comforted here, oddly.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::motions to the inside of the shuttle::  CO:  After you sir.

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: I am up on my medical training certificates....plus I've had some experience in my past having to pass as a doctor

Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  Thank you Mister Hawkes.

Host XO_Santiago says:
CNS:  I can understand that.  This place does have lot to offer.  But he doesn't belong her.

CMO_Balena says:
CTO: So do you remember what you read that reminds you of this?

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: walks onboard the shuttle ::

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::steps into the shuttle, after the CO, sits heavily in the pilot seat::

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::begins to taps buttons::  CO/Self:  Power, thrusters, main engines, navigation, telemetry, communications, and life support, all in the green.

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ FCO:  Then let's get going.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::closes the hatch::  CO:  I can't guarantee the smoothest of rides.

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: Well...I can't really remember...but if the Doc here said it had something to do with the snakes lungs...I would think that I'd be reading about some sort of chest infection in relation to the common cold

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ FCO:  Just do the best you can.  :: smiles ::

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::fires the thrusters, lifting the shuttle off the ground, slowly engages the main engines and begins to climb::

CMO_Balena says:
CTO: Well thank you sir I'll look into it

CMO_Balena says:
Doc: Was there anything else?

CNS_Montaug says:
XO: I, don't belong here...It seems to me he thinks this is real, and it makes him happy.  Perhaps I need to discuss where we really are with him.  This isn't his reality?

Host Beth says:
<Doc> CMO/CTO: Don't know why we're discussing this.  I told ya...the disease was destroyed...along with most of the human race

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::reads the Pharaoh in orbit, adjusts heading to intercept::

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc: What would you say if we had a way of making the disease and introducing it to the snakes as a long lost friend

Host Beth says:
@ACTION: Red lights flash across the shuttle console and the power cuts in and out as klaxons blare.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::increases engine power to push through some turbulence::

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Nods:: CNS:  I totally agree with you.  I'm going to leave that to you and your expertise.  Go and talk with him and give me a report in an hour.

Host Beth says:
<Doc>: CTO/CMO: Ya'll saying that you can 'make' this disease out of nothing?

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CO/Self:  Ohhhh hell.

Host XO_Santiago says:
CNS:  I'm not leaving anyone behind.  I don't want to have to forcibly remove him from the planet.

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ :: looks at the console in front of her :: FCO:  What's happening?

CTO_Quchant says:
::looks sideways at the CMO::

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc: Yeh...pretty much

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::checks system status::  CO:  power levels are fluctuating, trying to compensate.

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc; In fact under the right conditions...so can you

CMO_Balena says:
Doc: Well sir the humans here may just be immune for it

CMO_Balena says:
Doc: Well good day to you sir ::looks at the CTO and bows his head:: CTO: Sir

Host Beth says:
<Doc> ::laughs:: I'm lucky if I can get enough bandages....much less make a whole disease.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::Glances at the altimeter::  CO:  not sure what it is, maybe a fuel cell problem, contamination maybe.

CNS_Montaug says:
XO: No! No, that sort of pressure would have a horrendous impact on his disturbed psyche. ::getting a bit worried:: XO: I doubt he could perform optimally if we exert a degree of force on him.

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: Let me know your progress Mr. Balena

Host Beth says:
@ACTION: The shuttle starts to lose altitude and begins to plummet back towards the planet and the town

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ :: grits her teeth and nods :: FCO:  I'll go and check the fuel cells.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::starts to fight with the shuttle controls::  Shuttle:  Come on baby, just get us into orbit.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Sighs:: CNS:  I happen to agree with you there.  l have no fear.  See what you can do with him and then the three of us will talk.  Ok?  ::stops and looks at the Counsellor.::

CMO_Balena says:
CTO: Aye sir ::opens the door and exits::

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CO:  Watch the EPS relays back there, I didn't have time to shield them.

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ :: stands up and heads for the rear of the shuttle and has to grab onto a seat as her knees buckle :: Self/FCO:  What the...?!?!  :: puts her hand to her head ::

CNS_Montaug says:
::Looks back:: XO: Will do,

Host Beth says:
<Little Boy> ::comes running up to the XO and CNS:: XO: Hey lady!  Hey blue guy!  Look...up there....there's a funny looking bird! ::points up to the dot that appears to be falling back towards them::

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CO:  Captain?  You all-right?

Host XO_Santiago says:
::nods::  CNS:  Ok then... I better get back before Quch goes after the lizards with every bug he can find.

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ :: pulls herself up :: FCO:  I'm fine, you just get us up there.  :: continues to the rear ::

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::really fighting controls::  CO/Self:  I'm loosing it.  ::taps the emergency transporter system to online::  We may need to bail out.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Hears the boy and looks up.::  CNS/Boy:  Oh my god.... ::looks in horror. Quickly taps her commbadge.::  *CTO*:  Thomas!  get out here and look to the sky.

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ :: shakes her head to clear the fog that seems to have come over her ::

CTO_Quchant says:
::hears his commbadge go off::

CTO_Quchant says:
Doc: Excuse me

Host Beth says:
@ACTION: As the CO reaches for the bulkhead to steady herself, her hand seems to pass through it for a moment.

CTO_Quchant says:
::bolts for the door::

CTO_Quchant says:
::skids to a halt by the XO and looks up::

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: What?

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Feels helpless::

Host XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  The shuttle....

CMO_Balena says:
*FCO*: Sir I'm ready to be picked up now

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CO:  Captain, better brace yourself.  ::taps the emergency transporter again::  Shuttle:  Come on, work damn you!

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ Self/FCO:  Oh no!    Get out of here Mister Hawkes!!  That’s an order!!

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: My god.....do we have any other shuttles out right now?

CNS_Montaug says:
::grabs the little boy and dashes away from 'the bird':: Little boy: Come with me...

Host XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Not sure.  I don't think so.

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ :: looks at her hand ::  FCO:  You hear me Hawkes!!!!  Get the hell out of here!!!

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::feels the shuttle begin to vibrate violently::  CO:  Transporter is out.  We're going to do this the hard way.

Host Beth says:
ACTION: The sound of the shuttle breaking the sound barrier can be heard on the ground.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::looks out the window::  Self:  Find somewhere soft, find somewhere soft.

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Taps her commbadge.:: *Pharaoh*:  Lock onto the shuttle if you can and beam out the Capt and Hawkes.. Use magic if you have too!

Host CO_Sacul says:
@  :: grits her teeth and looks at her hands :: FCO:  Tell them not to give up Hawkes.

CNS_Montaug says:
::runs for any sort of cover, and shields the boy with his body::

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::looks back at the Captain::

Host Beth says:
@ACTION: The FCO hears something strange in the CO's voice and suddenly she disappears right before his eyes.

CTO_Quchant says:
*Shuttlecraft Lucqui Computer*:  emergency auto pilot override, authorization Quchant, Zed Zed Nine Plural Zed Alpha, engage

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::sees the CO vanish, confused::

Host XO_Santiago says:
CTO: Damn!  Communications must be down with the ship.  It was a long shot anyway.

CTO_Quchant says:
::tries again anyway::

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::looks forward again, sees the ground coming up fast::  Self:  Damn.

Host XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Where is this shuttle going to crash?  Hopefully not in a populated area.  Doc:  Doc!!  We may need your services!  CMO:  Get your kit together!

CTO_Quchant says:
XO: At that speed....I doubt they'll be any survivors

CNS_Montaug says:
::Taps commbadge:: *XO*: What's going on with the shuttle?

CTO_Quchant says:
::starts running towards the future crash site::

Host XO_Santiago says:
CNS:  It's gonna crash... ::Runs a hand through her hair.::

CNS_Montaug says:
::covers the little boy's ears:: Little boy: You're going to be fine...::braces for impact::

Host Beth says:
ACTION: As the crew watches in horror...the shuttle suddenly veers a towards a hill away from town as the FCO valiantly fights to keep it from plunging into the populace.  It hits the hill with an impact that shakes the very earth and explodes, showering debris everywhere.

CTO_Quchant says:
::taps badge while running::

CMO_Balena says:
::starts to run toward the shuttle crash::

Host XO_Santiago says:
::Takes off after Thomas::

CTO_Quchant says:
*XO*: Get it together...and follow me...just in case

Host Beth says:
ACTION: The crew reaches the crash site and stops in their tracks, horrified.  A huge crater is in the side of the hill.  Fires burning everywhere.  There are no survivors.  The Pharaoh has lost their Captain and the FCO.
