Host Shann says:
The Andromeda has been ordered to Los Mesa colony to assit them with excavating some recently discovered ruins out in their desert. This is a desert similar to the Sahara in the continent of Africa on earth.  A warning the local archeologists in excavating this site have recently they have lost several archeologist due to unknown reasons .

Host Shann says:
ACTIOn:  There are sand storms in the deep desert, and radiation thaty is normal near the main poulation center.

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO:Thank you Commander.

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS:Have we heard from the colony yet?

Host Shann says:

Host Captain_Turner says:
CSO: So beaming down is safe?

Host Shann says:
<LM>  COM: Andy:  Umm hello...  ::wondering why they aren’t answering

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: They're hailing us again, sir.

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: On screen.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Yes in most of the areas. Some parts of the desert are now experiencing sand storms so beaming in the middle of the sand storm isn't recommended.

OPS_Rogers says:

Host Captain_Turner says:
COMM: LM: Thank you. Now  exactly how may we be of assistance?

CNS_Shania says:
::has enough of evals for one day and leaves her office::

Host Winola says:
COMM: Andy:  Yes .. if you please...  no one is daring goign near them.  They fear the curse will get them...

Host Captain_Turner says:
COMM: LM: Curse?

CSO_Sketek says:
*CMO*: I am transmitting readings around the ruins to your console. Check out if you can make conclusions from them. I can make additional scans if necessary.

CEO_Martin says:
::is startled from a daydream:: *FCO* oh..uh, everything is fine down here

FCO_Kalla says:
*CEO* Good. Just testing that our new orbit is not affecting you in any way.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: taps her comm badge:: *CSO*:: Acknowledged, Ravenprowler, out.::

Host Winola says:
COMM:  A superstition.  One of the care taker broke a leaden seal and a bas escaped that was poinous . On the seal was written ."he who break the seal and distrub my tomb  shall have his breath taken from him"

CSO_Sketek says:
::Sweeps the entire surface of the planet for life signs::

Host Captain_Turner says:
COMM: LM: I'll assemble an Away Team but we will be taking a shuttle down due to the sand storms.

CEO_Martin says:
*FCO* Nope, not effecting us at all.

CNS_Shania says:
::steps onto the bridge, sees the woman on the view screen and walks to her chair::

FCO_Kalla says:

Host Winola says:
COMM Turner:  The sandstorms shoudln't be a problem.  There hasnt' been a storm near there in a long time.  They rarely get that near.

Host Winola says:
ACTION:  There are farm animals and bugs, namely scarebs

Host Captain_Turner says:
COMM: LM:Then we will beam down. See you soon, Turner out.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: I can ensure that beaming is safe.

TO_Senek says:
CO: Acknowledged sir.

FCO_Kalla says:
CO: Understood sir.

TO_Senek says:

CSO_Sketek says:
::In TL with the rest of the AT::

FCO_Kalla says:
::Sits in CO seat.::

CSO_Sketek says:
CO/CNS: It's pretty hot down there. Maybe you would like to take environmental suits?

Host Captain_Turner says:
JAG: Not really Lt.

JAG_Vetrov says:
CO: Didn't think so, sir.

Host Captain_Turner says:
TL: Transporter room 2.

CNS_Shania says:
CSO: A little heat has never killed anyone.  ::grins::

CSO_Sketek says:
CNS: As you wish... but I warned you.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: continues to analyze the energy signature::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CSO: What's the temperature down there?

OPS_Rogers says:
::Watches the blinky lights some more::

CNS_Shania says:
CSO: As long as we have enough water we should be fine down there.

CEO_Martin says:
::finds nothing wrong so far with the systems check::

FCO_Kalla says:
*Ensign West* Report to the bridge to take helm.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: 41 Celsius which equals to 105 Fahrenheit.

JAG_Vetrov says:
:: pulls up a chair to his console, and reviews the archaeological catalogue ::

FCO_Kalla says:
*Ensign West* Belay that order.

FCO_Kalla says:
JAG: You take helm.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CSO: A bit warm but no hotter than some spots on Earth and much less hot than most of Vulcan. Should be a cool breeze for you Lt. ::Grins::

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Absolutely.

JAG_Vetrov says:
:: stands up and walks over to the conn :: FCO: But I must warn you, I was no ace at the Academy, Commander. :: smiles and sits down ::

CSO_Sketek says:

TO_Senek says:
::Arrives at TR, takes an extra water bottle and steps to transporter pad::

JAG_Vetrov says:
FCO: You've found one, then.

CNS_Shania says:
::takes her back pack and steps onto the transporter pad::

Host Captain_Turner says:
Transporter Chief: Energize.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The AT is transported outside the ruins

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: notices someone is transporting and checks who it is::

TO_Senek says:
@::Materializes on the surface::

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Materializes and checks the environmental conditions::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Keeps a trace on the AT, just in case::

CNS_Shania says:
@::materializes and immediately shields her eyes:: Self: I should have replicated a pair of sunglasses.

FCO_Kalla says:
OPS: Lieutenant Rogers, let me know when they have arrived on the planet.

OPS_Rogers says:
FCO: The AT has been transported.

TO_Senek says:
@::Takes his tricorder and scans the surroundings for any threats::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:

FCO_Kalla says:
OPS: Good. JAG: Try to keep us as close to their location as possible at all times.

Host Captain_Turner says:
@::Materializes on the surface and grabs his pack grabing a cloth and puting it over his head then tying it with a bandana of rope::

OPS_Rogers says:
FCO: Perhaps I should use the ships sensors so we can sort of look over their shoulders on the screen?

FCO_Kalla says:
OPS: Excellent idea, lieutenant. Do it.

CNS_Shania says:
@::looks around seeing.......sand, lots of sand::

CSO_Sketek says:
@CO: So we are here to determine the cause of the mysterious disappearances?

Host Captain_Turner says:
@::Turns to the CSO:: Where are we to meet her?

OPS_Rogers says:
FCO: Aye. ::Puts the readings on screen and attempts to zoom in on the location of the AT::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*FCO* Do you have the bridge?

Host Captain_Turner says:
@CSO: Yes. ::Looks around for a greeting party of some sort::

FCO_Kalla says:
*CMO* Aye, Lieutenant I do.

TO_Senek says:
@::Scans the surroundings for any life forms::

CSO_Sketek says:
@CO: I hope that they have been properly informed of our arrival.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*FCO* Ma'am suggest we keep a transporter lock on the CO and the rest of the AT.

FCO_Kalla says:
COM. CO: We have a constant tab on you and are monitoring your steps with the main viewer sir. Just thought you'd like to know.

Shann is now known as Kalil.

FCO_Kalla says:
*CMO* Suggestion noted. OPS is already doing so.

Host Kalil says:
@::walks up to the CO:: Co: captain?

FCO_Kalla says:
*CMO* But we can use an extra person here for Science. If you have time.

Host Captain_Turner says:
@::Taps Com badge:: COMM:*FCO*: Acknowledged.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*FCO* Thank you, Commander

CSO_Sketek says:

Host Captain_Turner says:
@All: What the..............?

CSO_Sketek says:
@CO: These are natural phenomena - no reason to be afraid.

Host Kalil says:
@CO:  It is nothing.  I'll show you what we have found.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Makes sure that the lock on the AT is stable::

TO_Senek says:

Host Captain_Turner says:
@AT: You all know what to do.

Host Kalil says:
@CNS:  so far  we ahve dated them at several centuries, but those furthur in  are nearly 2000 years old possibly older... those we belive to be in the deep chambers

FCO_Kalla says:
::Reads data from sci console.::

Host Kalil says:

FCO: So... how are you today?

Host Kalil says:
@ Aloud:  Ut oh......

TO_Senek says:
@Kalil: If my memory serves me correctly, Winona said that the storms don't usually come this close to the ruins. Has there been a change in the planet's environmental conditions?

Host Captain_Turner says:
@::Turns swiftly to Kalil:: Kalil: Now that wasn't nothing! Whats going on?

CEO_Martin says:
