:::At OPS::
OPS_Laredo says:
@::In the shuttle Dniester::
Host FCO_Durron says:
 $::Piloting the Rhine::
CNS_Jordain says:
*OPS* Jordaïn to Laredo
OPS_Laredo says:
@*CNS* Here Sir.
CNS_Jordain says:
*OPS* As soon as I am done here, I’ll come down to join you.
OPS_Laredo says:
@*CNS* Understood
CEO_Capulette says:
*FCO* Sir, I've finished doing a report on the warp core problem, is there anything I can assist you with?
OPS_Laredo says:
@*CNS* I'll continue searching until you arrive.
CSO_Z`heta says:
::Enters the bridge and stands at the Science station::
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: I'm reporting in, Sir.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Sees to it that the cadet is stable and out of danger and leaves him in the capable hands of a medical officer::  *OPS* Understood. Jordaïn Out.  *FCO*  The Cadet is stable and recovering sir.  I'm preparing to go down and help the OPS.
Host FCO_Durron says:
$*CEO* report to the bridge and help out the CSO.
*CSO* Understood.  Attempt to locate whatever being attacked the earlier Away team.  Lieutenant Capulette should be joining you.
CEO_Capulette says:
*FCO* Aye, sir. ::Gets up from chair and leaves office::
OPS_Laredo says:
@::Continues flying low-level sweeps, waiting for the CNS to arrive::
CSO_Z`heta says:
*FCO_Durron* Aye aye, Sir.
Host FCO_Durron says:
$*CSO*: Tell SB to prep to receive injured.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: The shuttle on the surface detects an alien tower.
Host FCO_Durron says:
$::Brings the Shuttle into approach::
FCO_Lureng says:
CSO: Ya know, my job would be a lot more interesting if we weren't having to spend all this time searching for cadets.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Goes to his quarters and takes his belongings and takes a weapon of his own.  Also including his robe in his bag::
OPS_Laredo says:
@::Sees the alien tower:: Self: What have we here. ::Runs sensor scans on the tower::
CSO_Z`heta says:
*Sickbay* Bridge to Sickbay: Stand by to receive injured people.  They'll be beamed directly to you.
Host FCO_Durron says:
$::Drops shuttle into Shuttlebay and pops the doors::
Dr. Karr says:
*CSO* Ready sir.
OPS_Laredo says:
@*FCO* I've run a few scans on the Alien tower and they indicate that the tower is of Iconian design.  It seems to be covered in native hieroglyphs
CEO_Capulette says:
::Gets into Turbolift:: CPU: Bridge.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Lureng: I'm sorry to hear that. Fortunately our ethics seem to agree that find your own people is interesting enough to be done.
Dr. Karr says:
*CNS* Sir, they are bringing in wounded!
Host FCO_Durron says:
CDT Ranger: Ok kid lets get you to sickbay.
*OPS* ok keep me updated
::Helps Ranger out of the shuttle::
OPS_Laredo says:
@*FCO* Will do sir.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: Medical Personnel help the cadet onto an antigrav stretcher and carry him off.
CNS_Jordain says:
*MO* On my way ::runs next door with his bag and awaits the wounded::
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Leaves the Cadet and jogs to the Turbolift::
TO_Ulrich says:
FCO Lureng/CSO: The Commander has a point, finding the cadets is important as they are the future of our fine establishment.
CSO_Z`heta says:
*Dr. Karr* Actually the injured will not be beamed.  They're in Shuttle Bay.  Please attend them.
OPS_Laredo says:
@::Runs a few more passes around the tower, running more scans and searching for signs of the cadet::
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Steps into the Turbolift:: CPU: Bridge.
CEO_Capulette says:
::Steps out of the Turbolift and onto the bridge:: CSO: What's the current status?
Dr. Karr says:
*CSO* Aye sir.  ::Makes his way together with a med team::
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Paces back and forth in the Turbolift waiting to be on the bridge::
CSO_Z`heta says:
CEO: I've just started my shift.  Commander Durron brought back some injured cadets and the MO is on his way.
OPS_Laredo says:
@*FCO* Sir, I've run more scans.  It seems after you account for years of star drift, the markings on the tower suggest a star chart from many thousands of years ago.
Host FCO_Durron says:
*OPS* Ok.  Good work keep it up.
::Steps out of the Turbolift as the doors open::
CSO: Report
CSO_Z`heta says:
ALL: Officer on Deck.  FCO: You have the bridge.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: OPS continues to fly over the lush, dense jungle whose cover is marked by the top of the alien, mysterious tower.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO: I'm beginning to analyze the data from the ships sensors.  No news regarding the attacker yet.  ::presses button on the science console::
OPS_Laredo says:
@*FCO* Thank You Sir.
CEO_Capulette says:
::Takes a seat at the engineering console::
Host FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Get the sensor readings from the Dniester and see what you can make of it.
FCO_Lureng says:
::Feels the air of the bridge change now that FCO Durron is in command::
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO: Yes, Commander.
OPS_Laredo says:
@::Inputs another, wider path of searches as the last one finishes::
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the viewscreen than walks to the big chair::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Takes charge of the med team and heads to the Shuttlebay only arriving a few moments later::  MED: Take care of him.  If there is a problem contact my assistant.
OPS_Laredo says:
@Self: Hmm.. Where is the counselor I wonder?
Host FCO_Durron says:
CEO: Coordinate with the OPS and see if there is anything we can do to help.  If he needs it beam down and help him out.
CEO_Capulette says:
FCO: Aye, sir.
*OPS* I'm supposed to see what we can do to help, whether it's something from here or if you need assistance at your location.
CSO_Z`heta says:
*OPS* Can you please send your data thru this channel?  I wish to compare it with the Andromeda's sensors own data.  Perhaps we'll find something...
OPS_Laredo says:
@*CEO: Everything is alright down here, If you would be so kind as to inform Commander Durron, I've found some footprints near the tower.  I believe the cadet may have taken shelter in or near it.
CEO_Capulette says:
FCO: Did you get that, sir? Ensign Laredo found footprints near the tower. His hypothesis is that the cadet has taken refuge in the tower.
Dr. Karr says:
*CNS* Sir, it seems that Cadet Ranger will be fine.  The stress level has dropped, with some mental help i think he will be up and running in a bout a week.
CSO_Z`heta says:
::hears the CEO::  *OPS*/CEO: In that case, CEO take care of the Shuttles data while I analyze the Andromeda's.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: As the Andromeda continues to orbit, it moves to the other side of planet and detects an ion trail in space leading from space to the planet.
CNS_Jordain says:
*MO* Got it, Ensign Karr. Let me know if there are any problems or changes in his condition
Host FCO_Durron says:
CEO: Good.  Tell him to go ahead and investigate but tell him to be careful.
OPS_Laredo says:
@*CSO* Will do.  ::Inputs the data from the shuttle and transfers it to  the Andromeda:: *CSO* I've transferred the data.
CEO_Capulette says:
CEO: Aye. *OPS* Durron says to investigate your findings. CSO: I'll begin analyzing the shuttle's data.
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Looks around and stands up again than walks from one side of the bridge to the other::
CSO_Z`heta says:
::Looks at the sensor's data including spectral analysis::
TO_Ulrich says:
::Wonders why every commanding officer can't seem to sit still::
CNS_Jordain says:
*FCO* Sir, I'm letting you know that the cadet will be all right.  He is out of danger for the moment and he is stable.  Dr. Karr is in charge of sickbay.
CEO_Capulette says:
::Begins looking at the shuttle's data::
OPS_Laredo says:
@*FCO* I'm intrigued with these footprints.  With your permission, I'd like to take the Tactical Team and Mr. Capulette if he is available and make a ground search of the tower.
Host FCO_Durron says:
*CNS*Good. Go ahead and beam down to help out the OPS.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO: Sir, I've found an ion trail near the place where the cadet's were.  The trail begins in space.
Host FCO_Durron says:
*OPS* Acknowledged.  Lt. Capulette should be with you shortly.
CEO: Go.  Be careful.
OPS_Laredo says:
@*FCO* Sir, the sensors have detected movement beneath the tree line. Thank you, Sir.
Host FCO_Durron says:
CSO: ok.  Anything you can tell from it?
CNS_Jordain says:
*FCO* Aye sir, See you back soon....I hope ::Whispers those last words and walks out of the Shuttlebay and heads towards the transporter room::
CEO_Capulette says:
FCO: Aye, sir. ::Stands from the chair and enters the Turbolift:: CPU: Deck 10, Transporter room.
Host FCO_Durron says:
*OPS* Be careful.
OPS_Laredo says:
@*FCO* Yes Sir.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: Let's see if the image reveals anything... ::places image of the trail on screen and magnifies::
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: Warning lights on the OPS' panel go off, someone is trying to lock onto the shuttle.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Enters transporter room:: Molecules: Beam me to the shuttle, Chief ::Gets on the pad::
OPS_Laredo says:
@::Draws his phaser and awaits the arrival of the CEO and CNS::
CEO_Capulette says:
::Arrives on deck 10, begins going towards the transporter room. Stops at a weapons locker on the way and picks out a Compression Rifle, continues to the Transporter room::
Host FCO_Durron says:
FCO_Lureng: Prepare a course to follow that Ion trail.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: The ion trail is likely from a small landing craft
FCO_Lureng says:
FCO: Aye sir. ::Plots course following the newfound Ion Trail:: FCO: Course laid in, engage on your command.
CNS_Jordain says:
Molecules: Hold it....I think I'm missing someone
Host FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Ok keep an eye on it.  But focus on the planet.
CEO_Capulette says:
::Enters Transporter Room:: CNS: Hold the transport. ::Steps onto the pad::
Host FCO_Durron says:
FCO_Lureng: Ok, thank you. Store it for now.
FCO_Lureng says:
FCO: Aye.
CNS_Jordain says:
CEO: I was waiting for you ::smiles::  Molecules: Go ahead chief
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: certainly, Commander. 
CEO_Capulette says:
Molecules: To the shuttle, Molecules.
TCMolecules says:
CEO/CNS: Shaken, not stirred. ::Presses the energize button::
CEO_Capulette says:
::Begins to dematerialize::
CNS_Jordain says:
@::Dematerializes on the Andromeda and rematerializes onboard of the shuttle::
CEO_Capulette says:
@::Materializes on the shuttle::
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: A figure steps out of the tree line with something on his shoulder pointing at the shuttle.
CNS_Jordain says:
@ALL: G’day all.
TO_Ulrich says:
::Attempts to detect the craft type of the ion trail::
OPS_Laredo says:
@CNS/CEO: Ah, welcome.
CSO_Z`heta says:
::Directs sensors to the trail::
CEO_Capulette says:
@OPS: Thank you. ::Checks power level on rifle::
CNS_Jordain says:
@::Gets a bit dizzy and leans against the CEO::
CEO_Capulette says:
@CNS: You okay? ::Supports the CNS::
OPS_Laredo says:
@::Hears the sensors beep and see that a life form has been detected.  Self: What the..? CNS/CEO: There is a figure right outside by the tower.  We better proceed with extreme caution.
TO_Ulrich says:
FCO: Sir, I've been analyzing the ion trail, it appears to be from the engines of a deep space scout craft. If I were to venture a guess the decay rate and fuel waste ratios suggests a Klingon small arms craft or something similar to an old style Peregrine Class.
CNS_Jordain says:
@CEO: Something is wrong, it is the same feeling I had when I first beamed down here.
CEO_Capulette says:
@CNS/OPS: Let's be careful, then.
OPS_Laredo says:
@::Jokingly:: CNS: No rifle for me?
Host FCO_Durron says:
TO: Very good work.  Can you tell which way it was going?
CSO_Z`heta says:
*CEO* Just to let you know, I'll be looking at your analysis of the shuttles data.  Keep sending info, please!
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: The figure launches a surface to air shoulder mounted photon tipped missile at the shuttle which closes in!
CEO_Capulette says:
@*CSO* Will attempt to do so.
CNS_Jordain says:
@OPS: No sorry ::smiles::
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Looks around the bridge and walks back to the chair::
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: The shuttle is being attacked, Sir!
TO_Ulrich says:
FCO: The results are inconclusive as to its directional origin.
Host FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Ok.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: Surface to Air Missile detected!
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Clenches fists::
CEO_Capulette says:
@::Hears weapons fire alarms going off::
OPS_Laredo says:
@CNS: Well then, guess I'll have to stick to this thing. ::holds up the hand phaser and sets it to the highest stun setting::
Host FCO_Durron says:
TO: Can you intercept?
OPS_Laredo says:
@Self: Uh Oh.  Not good.
CNS_Jordain says:
@OPS: What is it?
TO_Ulrich says:
FCO: I wouldn't want to risk it, sir. I can't refine a phaser beam to hit it exactly enough without seriously damaging the shuttle. And a photon would take too long.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: The missile approaches the shuttle at high speed.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: aiming at the shuttle, the missile is!
CEO_Capulette says:
@OPS: Might I suggest moving us as fast as inhumanly possible?
Host FCO_Durron says:
CSO/TO: See if we can do anything?
OPS_Laredo says:
@CEO: Yes!  ::Opens the shuttle door, and runs out.,::
TO_Ulrich says:
FCO: Aye sir, working on formulating a plan. ::Formulates::
CEO_Capulette says:
@CNS: Come on. ::Follows the OPS out the door at break tail speeds::
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Begins pacing looking at the screen::
CNS_Jordain says:
@::Follows the CEO out, a bit running and keeping up with the OPS::
CSO_Z`heta says:
::Keeps track of the shuttle, stand by for an emergency beam out::
CEO_Capulette says:
@::Flying through the air towards the ground::
Host FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Can we beam the Away Team up?
TO_Ulrich says:
FCO: The crew is abandoning the shuttle. They jumped out.
FCO_Lureng says:
::Gasps::
Host FCO_Durron says:
*Molecules* Try to beam the Away Team up.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: I confirm the TO assessment
Host FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Can we beam them out?
CEO_Capulette says:
@::Begins hitting tree branches on the way down::
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: I'm trying, Sir. *Molecules*:You heard the Commander, beam them! *AT*Are you alright? Stand by to beam!
OPS_Laredo says:
@::Jumps out of the shuttle and hits branches as he falls::
TCMolecules says:
*FCO/CSO* Aye sirs, locking on now. ::Establishing Transporter lock::
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: The Away Team jumps out of the shuttle, hits the trees, and lands suffering broken legs and arms and ribs. The Dniester is impacted by the missile and destroyed.
CEO_Capulette says:
@::Hits the ground with a hard Thud::
Host FCO_Durron says:
*Sickbay* Emergency team to Transporter room one.
TCMolecules says:
*FCO* I've got them. Beaming now. ::Presses energize::
CNS_Jordain says:
@Self: Why does it always have to hurt like hell.......::Feels his legs are broken::
CNS_Jordain says:
@::Dematerializes from the planet’s surface::
OPS_Laredo says:
::Materializes in the Transporter Room, wincing in pain::
Host FCO_Durron says:
*AT* Any of you who is able report to the ready room.
CEO_Capulette says:
::Materializes in the transporter room, feeling kinda woozy::
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: Sensors read the impact of the missile on the Shuttle. the shuttle is destroyed, Sir.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Re materializes::  ALL: This hurt like hell, does anybody have a got bottle of scotch to kill this pain ::smiles a bit for being glad he is alive::
TCMolecules says:
*FCO* I have all of them.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: Medical reports to the Bridge that all officers have broken their legs.
Host FCO_Durron says:
*AT* Belay that I will meet you in the sickbay.
FCO_Lureng says:
Self: Shulkee is not gonna be happy.
CSO_Z`heta says:
::Reads the data and tries to pinpoint the launching place of the missile::
Host FCO_Durron says:
FCO Lureng: That's an understatement.
CEO_Capulette says:
::Passes out::
Host FCO_Durron says:
CSO: See what you can get from where the missile was launched from. You have the bridge. I will be in the sick bay.
Dr. Karr says:
::Enters Transporter room flanked by a medical team and anti-grav stretchers:: Med Team: Get these people to sickbay, stat.
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Stands and walks to the Turbolift::
CNS_Jordain says:
Karr: Hi doc, Nice to see you again.
TO_Ulrich says:
CSO: I'll work on finding out about the missile.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO_Durron: Commander, this was a portable missile.  I guess there's not much point into finding the launching place of it as the attacker isn't likely to be standing there anymore...
Dr. Karr says:
CNS: Didn't think I'd be seeing you so soon.
CNS_Jordain says:
Karr: Well, at least I’m alive. By the way, how is Cadet Ranger doing?
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: 4 hours pass and the officers come out of surgery in critical but stable condition and are recovering in sickbay
CEO_Capulette says:
::On a biobed in sickbay, dozing in and out::
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Stands in the sickbay with arms behind back looking grim, looks at the team::
Dr. Karr says:
::Overseeing post surgery operations::
Host FCO_Durron says:
Karr: How are they?
OPS_Laredo says:
::Regains consciousness in sickbay and sees the FCO::
Dr. Karr says:
FCO: Foolish. But other than stating the obvious, they'll recover fine to the best of my knowledge.
CSO_Z`heta says:
::Nevertheless tries to find the launching place as it may be some kind of an observation outpost::
Host FCO_Durron says:
Karr: Thank you.
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Sighs in relief then walks to CNS' biobed::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Looks around after surgery::  FCO: Hi Sir, I think I have been here before.
Host FCO_Durron says:
CNS: What happened?
::looks grim::
CEO_Capulette says:
::Flicks tail and slowly becomes more coherent:: All: Where am I?
CNS_Jordain says:
FCO: Well, we just arrived on the shuttle when the weapons alarm went off.  There was an ground to air missile heading our way at high speed.  We had a choice and we took it, so we jumped. There was no time for transport, it was a matter of seconds
Host FCO_Durron says:
CNS: Ok. thank you.
CNS_Jordain says:
FCO: Sir, how is Cadet Ranger doing?
CSO_Z`heta says:
::Analyses the debris::
Dr. Karr says:
CEO: You're in sickbay back aboard Andromeda.
Host FCO_Durron says:
CNS: Better than you I am afraid.
CEO_Capulette says:
::Blinks cautiously as light floods his eyelids:: Karr: Oh. Have we found the other cadet? And where's my rifle?
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Nods and walks over to OPS:: OPS: You were the pilot. What was your reasoning in abandoning ship?
TO_Ulrich says:
::Continues analyzing missile's origin::
CNS_Jordain says:
FCO: Great, just great. ::puts his head back on his pillow and the suddenly remembers something::  Karr: Doc where is the Cadet?
FCO_Lureng says:
::Opens a text panel and composes a message to FDC Shulkee informing of the Dniester's demise::
OPS_Laredo says:
FCO: Sir, I jumped to conclusions and assumed that it was a seeker missile which meant that even if I had of moved, it would have followed.  I'm sorry sir.
Dr. Karr says:
CNS: I saw fit to release him, under the care of his comrades, to his quarters. He's bedresting there and watching something I think they called a "movie".
CEO: The other cadet is still missing. I have no clue what rifle you speak of.
CNS_Jordain says:
Karr: I need to see him right away.  This is very urgent.
Dr. Karr says:
CNS: You're staying here. I'll send for him. *Cadet Ranger* Please report to sickbay.
Host FCO_Durron says:
OPS: You lost the Dniester.  The entire AT was injured, and the other cadet is likely dead due to your abandoning ship.  I will leave you to Shulkee for that part.
OPS_Laredo says:
::Sighs:: FCO: Aye Sir.
CEO_Capulette says:
::Tries to sit up::
FCO_Lureng says:
*FCO* I've informed Chief Shulkee of the loss of the Dniester.
CNS_Jordain says:
Self: The weapon that was fired. What weapon was it? I have seen this damage before.....
Host FCO_Durron says:
AT: I am disappointed in your actions I am pleased that you are not permanently damaged. I hope that you will learn not to jump from shuttles in the future.
CEO_Capulette says:
::Stands up from the biobed::
Host FCO_Durron says:
CNS: it was a shoulder mounted photon tipped missile.  A disposable weapon.
Dr. Karr says:
CEO: Lieutenant, you should be resting, sit back down.
Host FCO_Durron says:
CEO: You will listen to the doctor.
CEO_Capulette says:
FCO: With all due respect, sir. I'd like to finish my assignment and find our missing cadet.
CNS_Jordain says:
FCO: Yes sir. But the weapon that was used by the sniper.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Is thinking about the sniper::
OPS_Laredo says:
::Sighs and shakes head::
Host FCO_Durron says:
CEO: We will resume the retrieval of the cadet. CNS: I would like to talk to you personally in a moment.
CNS_Jordain says:
FCO: Aye sir, no problem:: tries to sit up right on the biobed::
CEO_Capulette says:
::Straightens shoulders and stretches out::
OPS_Laredo says:
::Sits up on the biobed and shakes head again::
Host FCO_Durron says:
OPS: once we have completed this assignment you will report to the Flight Deck Chief.
OPS_Laredo says:
FCO: Yes Sir.
CEO_Capulette says:
OPS: Tough break. No pun intended.
CSO_Z`heta says:
::Takes another reading at the sensor logs::
Host FCO_Durron says:
CEO: As I understand it you supported the charge out the door. I would like you to join the Ensign once this assignment is over.
OPS_Laredo says:
CEO: You’re telling me!  ::chuckles::
CEO_Capulette says:
FCO: Aye, sir.
Host FCO_Durron says:
::Draws a curtain across the room between the other two and the CNS::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Waits for the FCO::
CEO_Capulette says:
OPS: I'm imagining it will be a little while before they allow us to continue the search.
Host FCO_Durron says:
CNS: As ranking officer you should have known what was going on…….
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
