When last we left the intrepid crew of the Ganymede, 4 officers beamed down to the surface and 2 were caught in an ice cave in.  The away team can see a block of ice that is large enough to hold a body, glowing.  What answers will they find? Lets join them and find out.

::at OPS, keeping a transporter lock on the away team::
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Sitting on the bridge::
CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
@::covers his face from the falling ice and feels it impact all over his body::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::looks at the huge block of ice and the CIV and CTO::  XO: Not sure..  think we should get these two out of the ice first, sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
OPS: can you beam the CIV and CTO out?
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
*CSO* Can you get the CIV and CTO out of here ?
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
*XO*: I’m trying to sir, are you and the CNS ok?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CSO:  No, we are just out of range.
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
FCO: Get us within transporter rank Ens
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
*CSO* Yes, Commander, how far is Mr. Mash'ev with some stabilizing equipment?
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@XO: Do you think we could split the ice apart with a low power phaser blast, Commander?
CTO_LtJG_Ashworth says:
@:: Trying to move the ice. Tries to push with his feet and feels the twinge in his knee. :: Self: I wonder what damage this has done?
FCO_Ens_Livic says:
CSO: Aye, moving to transporter range. ::Taps the controls and engages thrusters::
CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
@::attempts to move and does not succeed::
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
@CNS: Please concentrate on the ice block and see what you can find out ... I don’t think using the phasers is a good idea especially when everything around us is melting....
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
*CSO* Mash'ev to Matisse. I've got a drop ready for the AT. It's a localized force field generator and a cooling unit that should stabilize the temperature.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::walks closer to CTO and CIV:: CTO/CIV: Anything feel broken?
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
OPS: as soon as you can, beam them back *CEO*: once we are in range, we will beam it down
Host ASM_Jules says:
ACTION:  Hull pressure increasing.   In cave:  Water level is increasing.  CTO has broken arm.  Block is glowing brighter and pulsing faster.
CTO_LtJG_Ashworth says:
@CIV: Nothing broken, but I think I may have some ligament damage in my left knee, nothing I haven't dealt with before though, well and my arm is broken..
FCO_ENS_Livic says:
CSO: Thrusters at full, closing on 40,000km......Transporter range in about 4 minutes ma'am
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
*CSO* Acknowledged, ma'am. I'll transfer the equipment to the Transport Chief. I'm going back to monitoring.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::looks at the glowing block and touches it to see if he can get a mental reading from it::
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
@::shouts:: CTO/CIV: Can you hear me?
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
*CSO* I've assigned CPO Higgins to monitor the hull stresses and the SIF. He'll contact me if there's a problem he can't handle.
CTO_LtJG_Ashworth says:
@XO: Aye sir.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CSO:  Yes Ma'am.  ::gets ready to beam the CTO and CIV to the ship.::

CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
@XO: Acknowledged Commander... I can.
Host ASM_Jules says:
ACTION:  CNS collapses
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::collapses::
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
<CPO_Higgins> *CEO*: Hull pressures increasing. I'm compensating now.

Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
@::hears the CNS falling:: Self: what the ... *CSO* How far are you?
CTO_LtJG_Ashworth says:
@XO: Sir the CIV is fine. I seem to have taken the brunt of it. I have a broken arm and my left knee has some strained ligaments.
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
*CPO*: Good work, Higgins. Let me know if you need my assistance. ::Goes to TL:: Holodeck 2.
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
*XO*: we will be there in 3
Host Commander_Khorgh says:
# Counselor, I asked you not to come here.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
#Khorgh: Why shouldn't we have?
FCO_ENS_Livic says:
CSO: Transporter range in 1 minute Cmdr.
Host Commander_Khorgh says:
ACTION:  Small fracture occurs in shuttle bay 2.
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
@CTO/CIV: The gany will be here any minute ... so just stay put I need to tend to the Counselor who just collapsed ::walks over to the CNS:: *CSO* Acknowledged, Commander
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CSO:  I'm ready to beam up the injured.
Host Commander_Khorgh says:
# You may have already contaminated it.
CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
@::concentrates and pushes with all his might on the ice covering him::
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
<CPO_Higgins> *CEO* We've got some fractures starting in shuttle bay 2.

CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
@::stands and looks around for the CTO::
Host Commander_Khorgh says:
ACTION:  The Ganymede is now within transporter range.
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
*CPO*: Get a repair team there on the double. Modify the SIF to compensate for the additional stresses there as well.
FCO_ENS_Livic says:
CSO/OPS: Were in transporter range, you should have a lock now
CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
@::finds the CTO's leg and begins removing the ice covering the CTO::
Host Commander_Khorgh says:
# What you are standing in is fluid, used to nourish the offspring.
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
*CEO*: anything on the holodeck yet? ::Wonders if it’s even going to work::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
FCO:  I do.  CSO:  permission to beam them up?
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
*CSO* I'm watching the AT now. If they need help configuring the equipment, I can tell them from here. But it should be all set to go.
FCO_ENS_Livic says:
::Continues to adjust orbit closer::
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
OPS: do it
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
#Khorgh: Offspring? Offspring of whom?
CTO_LtJG_Ashworth says:
@CIV: Be careful. I'm pretty banged up on my left side.
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
@::pulls the CNS up so he doesn’t drown in the melting ice::
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
*CSO* I've got a visual and audio. I can only see what the CNS sees, though.
Host Captain_Serok says:
#  CNS:  Mine of course.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
# Serok: Yours? And what are you?
CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
@continues to dig him out:: CTO: Acknowledged... you are beginning to show signs of hypothermia.
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
*CSO* where is that equipment, Commander 
CTO_LtJG_Ashworth says:
@:: Shivers and tries to help the CIV. As I try to stand I'm racked by uncontrollable shaking.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
*CEO*: what is he seeing
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
*CSO* Once it gets beamed down there I will monitor it from here. If there's a problem, I might be able to talk the AT through without having to beam down myself.
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
OPS: the CEO had something to transport down, can you make sure its beamed down
Host Captain_Serok says:
# CNS:  I am that which awaits the birth.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
# Serok: The birth of what exactly? ::hopes she will answer without a riddle::
CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
@::removes the last piece of ice covering the CTO::
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
*XO*: its coming sir
CTO_LtJG_Ashworth says:
@CIV: Yes, sir. I'm also starting to feel the numbness to my injuries. I should be alright. :: Stands unsteadily.::
FCO_ENS_Livic says:
CSO: Holding orbit at 35,000km over the AT ma'am
Host Captain_Serok says:
ACTION:  The CTO has developed hypothermia.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CSO: Yes Ma'am  ::checks to see if it was beamed down::  It was beamed down.  Also shall I attempt to beam up the injured?
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
@::turns around to see the CIV and CTO but still kneeling next to the CNS::
CTO_LtJG_Ashworth says:
@:: Collapses and begins to shiver.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
OPS: yes, get them back
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
*CSO* They've just helped the CTO up. I can patch a channel through to the bridge if you like so everyone up there can see as well?
Host Captain_Serok says:
# CNS:  I have told you.  My offspring.  We have lived for millennia and will continue for millennia.
CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
@::frowns and notices the CTO's discomfort and picks up a few rocks and spreads them around the CTO::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CSO:  Right away.  ::activates the transporter to beam up the CTO and CIV::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
#Serok: What type of offspring? Human?
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
@::sees the equipment materializing and activates it around the CNS and himself::
CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
@ ::takes out his phaser and fires it at one rock near the CTO::
Host Captain_Serok says:
# CNS:  Every hundred or so years, we find a hospitable environment for the offspring.
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
OPS: do we have them?
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
@*CSO* Do you have them ?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:

Host Commander_Ashworth says:
# CNS:  We are that which is everything and nothing.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
#Ashworth: I see. Then why does it matter that we are here?
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Sighs:: *XO*: we got them sir
FCO_ENS_Livic says:
::looks over as Cmdr. Ashworth reports on AT::
CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
::looks around sickbay:: Computer: Computer Activate EMH!
Host Commander_Ashworth says:
# CNS:  You do not understand.  With our structure being what it is, we cannot risk contamination.  I hope that you have not influenced it.
CTO_LtJG_Ashworth says:
:: Materializes at the foot of a bio bed. Makes his way up into the bed .::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::feels relieved that her husband is back but there are more people she cares about down there, she can't leave her post yet::
CIV_S`chn_Silek says:
<EMH> Please state the nature of the emergency.
Host XO_Cmdr_Khorgh says:
@*CSO* Good, the CNS seems to be back in some kind of trance and the generator is shielding us for now... keep the Gany at a safe distance nearby, commander ... Khorgh out

# Silek: Why must he stay back?
EMH says:
Self: Hypothermia, broken arm...
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
*CSO*: We've got a hull breach on deck 12, ma'am. It looks like the AT has everything that I sent down working. I'm going to supervise the repairs to the hull breach. Please let me know if the AT needs my assistance.
Host S`chn_Silek says:
# CNS:  Tell him!  He mustn’t touch the offspring!
FCO_ENS_Livic says:
CSO: Ma'am , What about Cmdr. Khorgh?
CEO_Ens_Mashev says:
<CPO_Higgins> *CEO*: I've adjusted the SIF to compensate for the hull breach and am sending another repair crew there on the double.
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Sighs:: self: you got to be kidding me.. *CEO*: I need those repairs done as soon as possible, we still have to go back there...
EMH says:
::Mutters:: CTO: The ceiling? You mean the overhead?
