U.S.S. Ganymede – September 29, 1998

Host Kris- says:
While investigating a pre-warp civilization on Dorcas III, the Federation shuttle Ulysses reported general systems failure.

Host Kris- says:
Their last communication indicated they would attempt to land on the planet's surface and affect repairs. That was three days ago, and no contact has been established since that time.

Host Kris- says:
The U.S.S. Ganymede is to proceed to Dorcas III and rescue the shuttle crew of five and remove all evidence of their presence, while avoiding contact with this civilization in accordance with the Prime Directive.

Host Kris- says:
Louis, Bishop, Patrick, Vid and Warke are on Dorcas III investigating the situation and arranging for the dead bodies of the shuttle officers to be loaded onto the Ganymede's shuttle.

Host Kris- says:
The natives seem awed by the comm badges on the dead officers' uniforms.  Some of them are talking excitedly and pointing at the dead bodies.

Host Kris- says:
They do not seem afraid, but they do seem awed and surprised to see what they thought were their own kind helping to handle the dead bodies.

@XO:Sir maybe we should find the nearest village and check for our missing man there

CMO_Lizzy says:
@ :: hides tricorder in a flap of her native clothing and scans for fifth member of the shuttle crew ::

TACSirach says:
CTO: I am tracking the AT under the XO's orders...however there is a plasma storm that is causing some problems

FCO_Vid says:
@XO:Sir about the bodies?:

TACSirach says:
CTO: How was your break?

XO_Louis says:
@Bishop: Oversee the cannabalizing of the wreckage.

ENGBishop says:
@XO:Aye sir

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Too short, let me see if I can help.  ::analyzes storm::

XO_Louis says:
@Vid: You and the counselor should move the remains to our shuttle. I'll continue to try and communicate with the natives.

TACSirach says:
Cain: aren't they all?

FCO_Vid says:
@XO:Aye Sir:

Host Kris- says:
ACTION: THE NATIVE SPEECH IS BECOMING CLEARER TO THE UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR.

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  ::nods::

FCO_Vid says:
@CNS:Warke would you assist me with the remains?:

TACSirach says:
Cain: they are trying to locate the fifth and final crew member of the shuttle...the rest are dead

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Understood.

ENGBishop says:
@::begins analyzing the wreckage to find useable spare parts::

Host CO_Olbrun says:

TACSirach says:
CO: aye

TACSirach says:

XO_Louis says:
@Dr: Would you accompany me to the Village? ::Listens to the Universal translator and hears alot of babbling... but can make out "The High One"::

OPS_Rhian says:
Cain:  I'm getting periodic location on the AT...they appear to be heading towards one of the villages

ENGBishop says:
@::begins repairs on the ids generator::

TACSirach says:
CO: I have increased the signal the maximum...the lock is a little bit stronger, but not much...I will start working on other methods to improve the lock

XO_Louis says:
@:: Gets more from the translator.... "...pleased to know there are more" ::

CTO_Cain says:
Captain:  I suggest we use the deflector dish to emit a pulse which could be coupled with a generator from the shuttle to punch a hole in the storm.  That way we might be able to use the transporters.

FCO_Vid says:
@::Places remaining bodies with their comrads::

TACSirach says:
Cain: that could work

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Cain: Can you accomplish that without arousing the attention of the villagers?

FCO_Vid says:
@*XO*:Sir The bodies are aboard the shutlle do you reqiure me back with the AT?:

CTO_Cain says:
Captain:  Yes, the pulse would not be visible.

CMO_Lizzy says:
@ :: notices they are approaching the village, and begins to get some familiar readings on her scanner ::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Cain: Prepare it, and be ready to pull them out at a moment's notice.

CTO_Cain says:
Captain:  Aye.

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Help me get this ready.

FCO_Vid says:
@*CO*: Maam I've placed 4 bodies aboard the shuttle and have advised the XO:

XO_Louis says:
@*Vid* You and the counselor should join us in the village.

CTO_Cain says:
::resets deflector dish to the new parameters::

FCO_Vid says:
@*CO*: Approaching the village Warke and I are about to rejoin them:

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Is it ready on your end?

XO_Louis says:
@:: Looks to where the Dr. is pointing:: I wonder if that is the "High One"?

TACSirach says:
::prepares a generator::

CMO_Lizzy says:
@ XO: Commander, these natives physiology is such that they have no appendix.  I am reading a 'humanoid' life form within the village which does have an appendix though.

OPS_Rhian says:
CAPT: The AT is heading towards one of the villages...surrounded by natives

XO_Louis says:
@Dr: Who?, Where?

ENGBishop says:
@::begins phaser immolation of shuttle wreckage

FCO_Vid says:
@*XO*: Acknowledged sir Capt. informed of our progress:

Host CO_Olbrun says:
*Vid* Set your commbadge to not emit a sound, but to buzz instead so we can keep in contact.

FCO_Vid says:
@*CO*: AYe Maam:

CTO_Cain says:
::initializes last setting on the deflector dish::  Sirach:  Are you ready on your end?

FCO_Vid says:

XO_Louis says:
@Dr: Lets go with the natives here.... let them lead us to wherever it is they want us to go.

CNS_Warke says:
@ALL:I can sense awe and admiration from the natives

CMO_Lizzy says:
@ XO: Agreed, sir.  It would seem they are leading us in the right direction.

XO_Louis says:
@Dr: The natives seem a bit restless.

FCO_Vid says:
@::Reaches AT::

XO_Louis says:
@Vid: Keep your phaser at the ready.

TO_Sirach says:
Cain: Yes, I'm ready

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Acknowledged.

CAPT:  I'm able to monitor what Vid's comm badge is picking up...but the quality os low

FCO_Vid says:
@XO:AYE >>>>Sir I've recvd word from the Capt. to set our Comm Badges to Buzz and not transmit voice:

CTO_Cain says:
Captain:  We are ready to try punching a hole through the storm and transporting the crew up on your order.

XO_Louis says:
@Vid: Very well... all com badges on mute.

ENGBishop says:
@:: Completes the immolation of the wreckage and begins doing more repairs on the shuttle::

Host Kris- says:
ACTION: THE NATIVES LEAD THE AWAY TEAM UP TO A SHRINE CUT INTO A SHALLOW CAVE ALCOVE.

CMO_Lizzy says:
@ :: overhears FCO and adjusts her comm badge ::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Cain: Do it.

Host Kris- says:
ACTION: IN THE SHALLOW ALCOVE IS A SINGLE OBJECT....A STARFLEET COMM BADGE.

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Initialize Sirach.

FCO_Vid says:
@::Scans shrine entrance::

XO_Louis says:
@:: Stunned at the little trinket sitting on the pedastal.:

FCO_Vid says:
@XO:Sir the compositon of the shrine is masking our scans:

CTO_Cain says:
Captain:  The pulse seems to be working.  Sirach:  Can we get a lock on the AT?

TO_Sirach says:
::attempting to get a lock::

TO_Sirach says:
Cain: attempting to do so right now

XO_Louis says:
@To all: I need a hypothisis as to why this is here... any ideas?

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Aye.

TO_Sirach says:
Cain: I have a lock, but I can only beam one up at a time

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::waits, drumming her fingertips on the arm of her seat::

CMO_Lizzy says:
@ XO: were comm badges found on all of the four bodies we recovered?

FCO_Vid says:
@XO:Sir perhaps they were recvg transmissions and the natives thought it had mystical powers:

XO_Louis says:
@Dr: yes. Where is our suspect friend now?

OPS_Rhian says:
Cain:  The drain from the deflector grid is putting a strain on Navigation...I'm attempting to compensate but you'd better do it quick

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Get them out.

TO_Sirach says:
::shocked look:: Cain: aye

CMO_Lizzy says:
@ XO: scanning sir

CTO_Cain says:
Rhian:  Hold it as long as you can.

TO_Sirach says:

CMO_Lizzy says:
@ XO: this way, sir.  :: leads the way to the bier

XO_Louis says:
@:: Follows the Dr. ::

FCO_Vid says:
@XO:Since they could not translate or ascertain the source of communication it would be a logical conclusion:

OPS_Rhian says:
Cain:  I can give you 78 seconds before orbit starts to decay

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she watches the crew around her works, and everything starts to spin around her...she closes her eyes, and when she opens them things have stopped their dance around the room::

CNS_Warke says:
@::follows XO::

Host Kris- says:
ACTION: WARKE AND VID BEAM BACK TO THE GANYMEDE.

CTO_Cain says:
Sirach:  Quickly.

Host Kris- says:
ACTION: PATRICK AND BISHOP BEAM BACK TO THE GANYMEDE.

XO_Louis says:
@Vid: It sounds valid to me. Now that the com-badge is disabled... lets try to get our friend out of here.

TO_Sirach says:
Cain & CO: Warke and Vid

FCO_Vid says:
::Stunned at being back aboard ship::

TO_Sirach says:

TO_Sirach says:
*Security Team #4* Please report to the shuttle bay and assure the shuttle is secure...I will meet you there

Host DrSmedley says:
Patrick: She needs to be in stasis...the connections between host and symbiont have been damaged, and unless we get her back to Trill for care, she will die. Clear enough for you?

XO_Louis says:
Dr. Smedley: Keep me informed at all times.... is that understood?

TO_Sirach says:
Cain: I'm going to oversee the operations at the Shuttlebay, if that is okay

XO_Louis says:
Vid: I want to know as soon as that bay is secure.

OPS_Rhian says:

Smedley: Surely they won't turn their backs on a joined Trill!

Host DrSmedley says:
Patrick: Not the government, but the organisation that controls and oversees joinings. Dara's joining broke some of those rules, and it looks like they are willing to let her die instead of giving her the help she needs. They're willing to sacrifice the Captain.
