Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Abertura crew has arrived at the location of the landslide, they're preparing to start rescue operations.

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
::eyes the surrounding area and frowns::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: A light amount of dust fills the air from the landslide, causing some noses to itch. The Haisian EMTs seem to be doing their job right at the temporary command post / triage area.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::sits at the controls of aeroshuttle one, doing a high fly-by, surveying the area around the slide::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Syarta> @ CIV: Right this way, Ms. Kedi. ::Smiles, remembering when he attended Kayairn University so long ago::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::rides in one of the ATWVs as they speed to the site::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::follows Syarta, trying not to get lost as she is busy taking in all the scenery, male and otherwise::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::has the engineers set up the mining equipment, and walks over to the XO::
Puller: Commander, we need to stabilize the area before we do any serious digging. Permission to contact the station and request all available force field generators to be brought here.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The inside of the massive domed Kayairn University is that of a multi-leveled complex. It could most likely house more than the all the greatest minds Hais has to offer. Much more ...

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
::sounds like as good an idea as any::  CEO: Granted..  hopefully we have enough in operational status...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Syarta> @ ::Proceeds to a nearby "counter" with Kiz in tow:: University Official: Greetings, I am Syarta, High Echelon attaché to Abertura Station. I'm here with the Starfleet official in regard to the seminar on the Federation?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::nods and taps his comm badge::
*Abertura*: Lt. Lambert to Chief Silver, come in.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::Walking toward the site of the landslide from where his vehicle stopped.  He surveys the area visually.  The site makes his blood run cold, but he shakes it off and gets to work.::  *CVO*: Tyler, what's your status?  Found anything?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::still looking around is awe, tapping this on her PADD::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Chief Jennifer Silver> # ::Sitting in operations, fiddling with a console, also listening in on the transmissions from the dig site with a small frown. Hears the comm.:: *CEO* Hullo Lt., how can I help you?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::has been staring out the window, letting the computer run the survey when he's interrupted. Quickly checking the computer readout, he taps the reply button without even looking at it:: *CBO*: Still running the survey, haven't found anything yet.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
*Silver*: We're assisting in the recovery efforts at the Haispoi village, and we need to stabilize the area before we can conduct any serious mining. I need ALL available force field generators to be rounded up and beamed here.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::sees a cute looking Haisian male checking her out and blushes::

Host FM_Selan says:
<University Official> @ ::Smiles at Syarta & CIV:: Syarta: Welcome to Kayairn University. Instructor Yegos is awaiting your arrival. The seminar hall is right down that corridor to your left. There's a sign, you can't miss it.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::frowns and closes his eyes momentarily:: *CVO*: Alright...just...keep scanning...not that you needed me to tell you that.  ::closes the comm, the whole situation making him feel sick::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Chief Jennifer Silver> # ::Thinks about it for a moment:: *CEO* All right, but you're going to have to send someone back with either the runabout or an ATWV ... there's no way I can beam them to you.

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
::turns to the CEO again::  CEO: Any response from the Chief?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::peeks down the hall:: Official: Thank you ::cute smile::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
*Silver*: Copy that, I'll bring the runabout. Have all available units brought to the hangar, I'll be there shortly. Lambert out.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Chief Jennifer Silver> # *CEO* Will do. See ya in a bit.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::paces back and forth, wanting to go digging in the mess, but not wanting to destabilize it...he looks around and listens for Brocks ATWV::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Syarta> @ ::As he and Kedi walk along:: CIV: Nervous?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::nods:: Syarta: A little. It is my first speech after all. ::nervous giggle::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::waves out the window as the ATWVs roll in on the site::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::computer finally beeps:: *CBO*: Apollo, I found one, no wait, two. Two life signs, really weak.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::turns to the XO::
Puller: Yes sir, Chief Silver will be bringing all available generators to the hangar. I need to bring the runabout back to the station briefly.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
<EDIT: Add on to my bit: "back to the station briefly to bring the generators here">

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::the lead ATWV comes to a stop and Brock steps out:: ALL: Where do I set up?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::stops and looks at the aeroshuttle in the sky over the disaster area:: *CVO*: Good.  Transmit their coordinates to my tricorder.  ::opens his tricorder and awaits the information::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::looks around the disaster site for an appropriate setup point::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
*CBO*: Will do. ::looks blankly at the control panel for a second, then cautiously taps a button that he thinks is the right one:: You should have them.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::looks over at Brock briefly:: CSO: Great, you're here.  ::walks briskly toward the triage center:: Here's where we set up triage.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Syarta> @ ::As they arrive at the doors:: CIV: I'm sure you'll do fine.

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
CEO: Make it snappy then..  we need to stabilize this place.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::takes a deep breath:: Syarta: I hope

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CBO: I brought along some equipment. A portable transporter and 6 transporter enhancers. Where do you want them set up?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::his tricorder beeps as the coordinates are received::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
XO Puller: Aye sir. I'm leaving now. ::taps comm badge to contact the pilot of the runabout... instead of wasting time landing, he beams aboard the runabout and takes over the main piloting controls::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::motions to the others in the ATWVs to set up the triage where the CBO directed::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Syarta> @ ::Walks forward and opens the doors to reveal a large auditorium. Dozens of young Haisians sit cross-legged on the floors on comfortable "pillows" of some sort. A stage is before them, behind which is a large viewscreen. An elderly Haisian stands upon the stage. An image of Alpha Centauri is on the screen behind him.

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
::nods as the CEO beams out and walks over to the triage & command post::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::looks in the large room:: Syarta: Wow!

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Despite how quiet Kiz may have been, all Haisians have beyond normal hearing, and the entire auditorium turns to look at the two.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::blushes and hides behind Syarta::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::grabs one of the transporter enhancers and directs two engineers to unload the portable transporter::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Syarta> @ ::Smiles as Kiz hides behind him, hoping this doesn't give a false impression of Starfleet::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Runabout Co-pilot: Keep the engines on low-power until we clear the city... then let's push the engines to the max to get to the station.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CSO: Hamilton just sent me the coordinates for two survivors he found.  We'll have to find a way to get there.  They are over on the other side of landslide.  We can take your ATWV over with these guys.  ::gestures to the reinforcements that arrived with Brock::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::continues flying overhead, staring out the window::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Instructor Yegos> @ ALL: Well, it appears the questions about Alpha Centauri can wait. I would like to introduce two special guests ... Syarta, the High Echelons attaché to the Starfleet station, and a Starfleet officer ... Ms. Kiz Kedi.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CBO: Great. We can use the portable transporter there as well. ::motions for the two engineer to reload the portable transporter:: CBO: Let's go.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: All the Haisians make this cooing noise, which appears to be their way of clapping.

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
::enters the triage area and looks around to see what preparations are in place::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::gulps and looks around::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Syarta> @ ::He smiles, and begins to lead Kiz to the stage:: <W> CIV: Try not to hide so much. They won't attack you.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::jumps in the drivers seat and once everyone is in and everything is loaded, he heads off, circumventing the landslide to get to the other side::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::looks around as she follows Syarta:: Syarta: Sorry

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::out the window he can also see the second aero shuttle. Ryan is in practically the same position as Tyler, staring out the window in disbelief::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Syarta> @ <W> CIV: Don't apologize, just be yourself. ::Smile::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
# ::as the runabout begins to land, he moves to the rear of the craft, making room for the force field generators::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::looks around at the Haisians, noticing some of them looking at her tail and whispering among themselves::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: A small group of CoE personnel are waiting outside the hangar with a slew of forcefield generators. Chief Silver is amongst them.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The cooing ends as soon as the CIV & Syarta arrive at the stage.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Moves around the area designated as 'Triage', assisting Dr Trull in getting ready::

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
::finally spots the CO and walks over::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
# ::helps to load the generators into the runabout, only making fleeting eye contact with Silver::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::checks the computer to see if the survey is almost done::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::arrives on the other side of the landslide, and brings the vehicle to a halt:: 

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
ALL: Okay, let's get this transporter set up.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::jumps out of the ATWV carrying a transporter enhancer and his Tricorder::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Chief Jennifer Silver> # ::Comes up besides the CEO, not looking as "worked out" as she usually does, and as a result much more attractive. The wonders of not being covered in gel-pack lubricant:: CEO: How are things working out at the site?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Wipes an arm across her brow, and moves some loose hair out of her eyes.  Antennae testing the air, she sees Puller approaching:: XO: How is it progressing Cmdr?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::scans the area of the survivors for unstable/stable regions:: CSO: I'll cover you guys to make sure you steer clear of loose rubble while working.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::computer beeps again, and Tyler turns around to read it off::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Instructor Yegos> @ ::Comes up to Syarta and puts a hand on his shoulder with a smile:: Syarta: A pleasure to see you again, Syarta. I hear you have done well in your work.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CBO: Aye. ::directs his men to setup the transporter::

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
CO: Slowly..  Mr. Lambert had the idea of using the portable shield generators to assist in stabilizing the rough spots..  speaking of which, he should be returning momentarily..

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
*CEO* Status report Mr. Lambert?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
*CO*: Hey Captain, I found a cluster of life signs.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
# Silver: Not good. The disaster area is much larger than we imagined. We have a lot of work to do, but these generators should help immensely.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::looks around at all the Haisians and smiles at Yegos::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Syarta> @ ::Smiles back:: Yegos: You helped a lot with your teachings. This is Kiz Kedi, she is from the station. ::Gestures to Kiz::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
# ::taps comm badge::
*Puller*: Loading up the generators now sir. We're getting fourteen generators total. We should be back within five minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CVO* Can they be transported out?  Or are they too deep?  And send us their coordinates.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::puts her hand out to shake:: Yegos: Pleased to meet you sir.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Chief Jennifer Silver> # CEO: That's horrible. But, I'm sure you'll all be able to pull them through this. You're quite capable it seems.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::hits the transfer button, the same one he used to send them to Jadahn, hoping it'll work again:: *CO*: Sent you the coordinates - they should be able to be beamed out but you'd have to ask Apollo or Mr Lambert about that, I'm not too sure.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::scans the area one last time, to be sure stability is retained after transport::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Instructor Yegos> @ ::A bit of puzzlement at the hand being held out, then remembers certain human customs [although she doesn't appear to be human], and takes the hand & shakes it:: CIV: The same pleasure is shared by me.

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
*CEO* Noted..  We're waiting on those generators to proceed.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::gives Yegos her cutest smile::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
#::wonders if she's flirting with him, but decides this isn't the best time to inquire further::
Silver: Thanks for the generators.. ::loads the last one in::  You're welcome to come along... I'm sure you'll be able to help in some way.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CBO: Okay, we're setup and ready.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CVO* Got it Ens.  Finish the survey and then get those shuttles transporting whatever victims you can reach.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
*CO*: Will do, Tyler out. ::cuts the comm and continues the survey::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Chief Jennifer Silver> # ::Shakes her head:: CEO: I still have some work to finish up here. If you all need more assistance, I might gather some of my stronger workers to come and help.

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
CO: Mr. Lambert says he'll be back in 5 with 14 generators

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::nods to Brock:: CSO: Okay.  ::takes a deep breath:: *Triage*: Two incoming injured, life signs weak.  ::looks back to Brock::  CSO: Let's do it then.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Instructor Yegos> @ CIV: If anyone hasn't already done so, welcome to the Kayairn Institute for Higher Learning. We've already been speaking for a few hours on the basic information about the Federation, is there anything you would like to open with to talk about?

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::scans for survivors and locks on to them beaming them directly to the triage point::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::gives him the same look a rabbit gives an oncoming train:: Yegos: Uhhh...

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
#Silver: Okay, thanks again. ::closes the hatch to the runabout and has the co-pilot begin immediate launch procedures::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: We have a cluster of life signs at 270 mark 13.6 , about 1100 meters up the slope and 850m into the slide... they are about 46 feet down, according to the scan.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Two dirt-covered Haisians appear in the triage, they're barely breathing.

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
CO: How stable is that region?  Do we need to wait on the shield generators or can we beam them out also?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Turns around at ths sound of the transporter, seeing the first of many victims to enter the triage::  Medics: OVER HERE, INCOMING PATIENTS!

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
#Runabout Co-Pilot: I need you to handle the flight back to the site, I need to do some quick math on where these generators will do the most good. ::does some quick tapping on the computer to find out the maximum range and output of the generators, and where they need to be placed to be most effective::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Some of the Haisians ignore the chance to wince at Thelsh's scream, but move over.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Dr. Trull> ::Immediately moves over to help::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Chief Jennifer Silver> # ::Smiles and waves, stepping away from the runabout::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
*Dr. Trull/Triage*: Once you've evaluated their condition and identified them, please let me know of which hospital they are being sent to.  Do so also for all ensuing survivors.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Watches as the two Haispoi are swarmed with medics:: Dr Trull: What can I do to help?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::tries to think of anything she knows about the Federation::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Dr. Trull> CO: Do you have any medical training, Captain? ::As the medics move to help::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::begins getting discouraged at the very few number of results he's getting on his search and checks the computer readout, hoping the computer hasn't been beeping at him::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Haisians in the audience patiently wait for Kiz to say anything.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Syarta> @ ::Looks a bit concerned, hoping Kiz won't faint::

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
*CEO* We have life signs at 270 mark 13.6..  about 1100 meters up the slope and 850m into the slide..  Can you tell how stable that region is?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::gulps:: Haisians: Uhhh. Hi?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::looks at Brock and puts his hand on his shoulder...a smile works onto his face, but is quickly torn away when Apollo realizes there are still many more people trapped:: CSO: Let's contact the others.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: All the Haisians reply at once - "Hi."

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::nods at the CBO:: CBO: Of course.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Dr Trull: One full year of med school.  Never even laid a hand on a live person.  I do have the standard SF first aid course.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Dr. Trull> CO: Help where you can then, Captain. It's appreciated.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@Haisians: Umm.. lesse...My name is Kiz Kedi. Right now I'm staying at Abertura Station.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: Ummm... ::Looks at the PADD, reviewing the scan data, gives up since she is distracted, and hands him the PADD::

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
::takes the padd and begins searching for information on that area::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
#::finishes his calculations and taps the console for the comm::
*Puller*: Stand by, we're approaching that location.
Co-pilot: Hover over the area.. time to deploy some of the generators.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Dr Trull: I will... Crewman! ::Points to a SF engineer standing nearby:: Get over here an help the doctor.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::while helping reload the equipment, he taps his comm badge:: *CVO*: Please tell me you found more survivors.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::thinks and twitches her tail:: I'm a student at NTU, Northern Territory University. That's in Australia, on Earth.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
@::scans the area, looking for any weak points in the soil::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
*CBO*: I found five more, but the Captain's group got them. That's it so far.

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
::finds the area and quickly parses the data::  *CEO* Based on the PADD the CO gave me with scan results, that area should be safe for transport..  Can you tell how stable they are from your position?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
#::Transports a few of the generators near the coordinates the XO gave him, hoping the sensors detected the right weak point::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
*CVO*: Only five more as of now? Okay, fine.  ::mutters to himself:: *CVO*: Damn!  I mean...Jadahn out.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@I know I don't look like a human, and that's because I'm only half. I'm half Caitian too and that's why I have a tail ::smiles:: Anyways, I grew up in the Federation, so I don't know anything different. I do know that there are thousands of intelligent species in the Federation, and we all get along, more or less. ::smiles::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Some of the Haisians smile and take down notes. The others listen intently.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
#*Puller*: I don't want to take any chances, so I've beamed a few generators into position. Have some crewmen bring an ATWV up here, it'll be stable for their arrival. ::activates the force fields as he's talking to the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
*CEO* Roger that..  I'm dispatching an ATWV now..

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CBO: We're all packed and ready to go.

XO_Cmdr_Puller says:
::eyes a couple idle crewman and orders them on the way with the ATWV::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::nods to Brock, and gets in the ATWV, waits until everyone is in, and then speeds off again back toward triage::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@If there is a dispute, there are ways to get mediation, so there won't be an escalated conflict. ::stops and thinks:: At the university where I attend, I have many friends that are of different or mixed species. One of my good friends is a Antican, and I have lots of human friends.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@Not to mention Vulcans, Klingons and other Caitians. ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CVO*:  How much more of the slide do you have to survey, Tyler?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
*CO*: Uhh.. not much.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
#::content with the stability, he beams the trapped Haisians above ground... noting the stress on the transporters, he begins a flush of the buffer system, making transporters unavailable for the runabout for a few minutes::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::skids to a stop at triage...he thinks, "Seven...only seven so far."::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CVO* And you haven't found any more?  We have only 7 out of a reported 100... there have to be more. Find them!!
