OPS Palmer says:
<FCO> Aye sir

CMO Lalin says:
self: I have to do this more often

CTO Martook says:
*EO*  Engineering, can we get anymore power to the shields?

CTO Martook says:
::Monitors sensors for hostile ships::

CSO Tek says:
::Perks up for a second, his attennas going straight up in surprise:: CO: Sir, I've found a faint signal. It could be the Newmonya, but I am not sure.

CTO Martook says:
::Scans the planet:: CO:  No signs of intelligent life on the surface, Sir

CO Siwiak says:
CTO:  Any ships in the area... weapons systems of any kind?

CSO Tek says:
CO: Not yet, sir. But I shall continue scanning...

CO Siwiak says:
CSO:  Just how deep in is the ship...

CMO Lalin says:
::stops and looks back::

CTO Martook says:
::Scanning for offensive weapons, ships and electronic signals::

CSO Tek says:
CO: As I said sir, I am not entirely sure that the signal is coming from the ship.

CTO Martook says:
CO:  No Sir, I'm continuing scanning

CSO Tek says:
CO: It could be something else.

CO Siwiak says:
CSO:  Can you give me a lucky guess?  ::sigh::

OPS Palmer says:
::checks SCI scans::

CSO Tek says:
CO: Perhaps about a mile beneath the surface. I cannot get an accurate scan at this time.

CTO Martook says:
::Drumming fingers in a beat as she monitors readings from her panel::

CO Siwiak says:
CSO:  Do you think we can beam down there?

CMO Lalin says:
::hears Robert say the word "beam" and walks over::

OPS Palmer says:
::scans surface for any openings or caves::

CO Siwiak says:
::spins in chair towards CMO::  CMO:  Anything to add Doctor?

CSO Tek says:
CO: Checking now, sir.

CMO Lalin says:
CO: Just that if you end up "beaming" take me

CO Siwiak says:
OPS:  Feel up to the job of going down and seeing what's there Mr. Palmer?

CTO Martook says:
CSO:  Any lifesigns still in the ship, is it in a cavern or embedded in the planet??

CSO Tek says:
::Looks at the CO after a moment:: CO: No sir. There is some sort of heavy matter interference. We'll perhaps have to take a shuttle-craft to get down there.

OPS Palmer says:
CO:  Yes sir

CMO Lalin says:
::whispers:: CO: It would be a nice way to end my time here on Andy

CSO Tek says:
CTO: As I said before, the signal has not been confirmed as belonging to the ship.

CO Siwiak says:
OPS/CTO/CMO:  Assemble in the shuttlebay and head down... heavily armed.

CO Siwiak says:
::stresses his last words::

OPS Palmer says:
CO: Aye sir

::enters TL with CTO/CMO::

CSO Tek says:
::A beep comes from his console, looks at the CO in surprise, again:: CO: Sir, I'm now picking up 10 life-signs within one of the caverns on the surface.

OPS Palmer says:
TL: Shuttle Bay 1

CMO Lalin says:
CTO/OPS: What do you guys think it is?

CSO Tek says:
CO: Correction, one of the caverns BENEATH the surface.

OPS Palmer says:
CTO/CMO: I don't know but we are going packing.

CTO Martook says:
CMO:  You never know, lets be cautious, chaps

OPS Palmer says:
::TL stops and doors open::

OPS Palmer says:
::heads for shuttle bay 1::

CMO Lalin says:
CTO: I don't know the meaning of the word cautious ::grins and follows OPS out::

CO Siwiak says:
CSO:  I see... *AT*:  There seems to be 10 lifesigns in a cavern... head for that area once you land.

OPS Palmer says:
*CO* Aye sir

CTO Martook says:
OPS/CMO:  I see I'll have to watch yo carefully then, Lalin ;o)  Arm yourselves for contact

OPS Palmer says:
::enters shuttle bay 1 and heads for the weapons locker::

CMO Lalin says:
CTO/OPS: Who's gonna fly?

CTO Martook says:
::walks into shuttlebay::

OPS Palmer says:
CMO: CTO will handle flying

CO Siwiak says:
*EO*:  How are we doing down there Mr. On?

CMO Lalin says:
OPS: Good idea

CTO Martook says:
OPS/CMO:  Not before the both of you

OPS Palmer says:
::opens weapons locker:: CTO/CMO: Take a hand phaser and a phase rifle

EO On says:
CO:I am getting the ship ready for maximum protection

CTO Martook says:
CMO/OPS:  I'll have to show you rookies a thing or two about piloting I see

CMO Lalin says:
OPS: I never thought I'd be doing this... in a blue uniform

OPS Palmer says:
CTO: Not quite but this is your assignment

CTO Martook says:
::Lifts out type II Phaser and Rifle::  Ready, chaps?

CMO Lalin says:
::takes a phaser rifle and a type II::

CMO Lalin says:
CTO: I can fly, just not very good

CSO Tek says:
::Monitors the Away Team, and continues to scan the planet for any more life signs::

CTO Martook says:
CMO:  Blood doesn't stain so much on a blue uniform, Lalin

CO Siwiak says:
*EO*:  Good to hear ensign... I could use another hand on the bridge if you care to join us...

OPS Palmer says:
::gets weapons and shuts locker and heads toward the awaiting shuttle::

EO On says:
CO: Aye, sir, on my way

CTO Martook says:
::Boards shuttle:: Whenever you're both ready

CO Siwiak says:
CSO:  Anything new to report?

CTO Martook says:
::Manually maneuvers shuttlecraft out of Doors with thrusters::

OPS Palmer says:
@CMO: Hope you have your bag?

CSO Tek says:
CO: Nothing currently, sir. The same information from before.

CMO Lalin says:
@OPS: I didn't eat breakfast

CMO Lalin says:

CO Siwiak says:
EO:  Attempt to hail the object below the surface... are there any commbadge signal from the crew?

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO/OPS: Did either of you bring any food by the way?

CTO Martook says:
@::Picking up anything on sensors, Sir?

OPS Palmer says:
@CTO: Right above the area where the faint readings below ground.

EO On says:
CO: I'm working on it, I am still reading their signal...

OPS Palmer says:
@CMO: Just emergency rations

CTO Martook says:
@::Steadies the craft near land, taking her down slowly::  All: Brace for impact, chaps!  :grins at the worried faces::  Kidding!

CMO Lalin says:
@::runs to the back of the shuttle for food::

OPS Palmer says:
@CSO: Any more life signs?

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO: I am a good marksman, don't make me angry

CSO Tek says:
COM: Shuttle: Currently, there are only the original 10.

CTO Martook says:
@::Lands the craft perfectly (of course!)::

OPS Palmer says:
@CSO:  Any identification?

CTO Martook says:
@::Right, time to be serious, arm yourselves and lets get ready to move out

CMO Lalin says:
@::sees Ensign Jones suddenly fall dead::

OPS Palmer says:
@CO: We are on the surface and proceeding out.

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO: Don't worry about that, that always happens

CSO Tek says:
COM: Shuttlecraft: Currently... no. Too much interference.

CTO Martook says:
@CO:  Any news to report from sensors, Sir?

OPS Palmer says:
@CMO: Scan the area for life signs.

CMO Lalin says:
@::jumps out and whips out his tricorder::

CTO Martook says:
@All:  Is there anyway down to the cavern from here?

CO Siwiak says:
*CTO*:  Don't look at me... ask the CSO...

OPS Palmer says:
@CTO: Keep lockout for anything threating.

ACTD Chris says:
ACTION Straight ahead the CTO sees a rock with a strange symbol on it.

CMO Lalin says:
@OPS: 10 lifesigns, down there ::points::

CTO Martook says:
@Takes out tricorder, scanning for lifesigns on the surface

OPS Palmer says:
@CMO: Where?

CMO Lalin says:
@OPS: In there, come on! ::runs down a steep path::

CTO Martook says:
@Corzi:  Slow down, we go together on our guard

OPS Palmer says:
@CMO: Slow down, we don’t know what down there.

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO/OPS: Would if I could!

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO/OPS: It's steep

OPS Palmer says:
@CTO: Follow him but be alert

CTO Martook says:
@::Mutters loudly, sliding down the path to join the CMO::

CMO Lalin says:
@::finally stops at a bunch of sturdy rocks::

EO On says:
@CTO: there's is something about that symbol in the rock that I don't like

OPS Palmer says:
@::scans area::

CO Siwiak says:
EO:  You have the bridge, I'll be in my ready room...

OPS Palmer says:
@CTO: what is he talking about?

CMO Lalin says:
@::yells up:: CTO: Be careful, I almost slipped!

CO Siwiak says:
::walks into ready room::

ACTD Chris says:
ACTION 6 meters ahead there is another rock with a different symbol on it.

OPS Palmer says:
@::stops and looks at symbol::

CMO Lalin says:
@::waits for the CTO to come down::

CSO Tek says:
::Hums something while monitoring the surface::

CTO Martook says:
@::stares at the symbol, scanning with tricorder::

OPS Palmer says:
@CTO/CMO: Any ideas?

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO: Let's get closer

CTO Martook says:
@::Moves towards rock::

CMO Lalin says:
@::yells up:: OPS: Not quite yet

CMO Lalin says:
@::jumps and rolls to the rock::

EO On says:
::scans show nothing of interest.....just a rock with a carving on it::

OPS Palmer says:
@CMO: No more running off like that, do you hear?

CO Siwiak says:
::replicates some tea, then heads back onto the bridge::

CMO Lalin says:
@OPS: I can't hear you!

CTO Martook says:
@Both:  We need to be cautious, lets stick together chaps.  What can we make of this symbol, any ideas?  Does the computer recognize it?

CMO Lalin says:
@*OPS*: Don't worry, I won't

EO On says:
@CTO: Proceed, the rock symbol means nothing at all

ACTD Chris says:
ACTION 3 meters ahead there is yet a 3rd rock with a different symbol on it.

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO: These symbols look vaguely familiar to me

CO Siwiak says:
::settles back down in his center seat::  EO:  Anything new to report?

OPS Palmer says:
@::walks forward and looking around::

CTO Martook says:
@Both:  Let's stop.. can we spot a pattern in these symbols?

OPS Palmer says:
@CMO: How are they familiar?

CTO Martook says:
@CMO:  Where do you recognise them from?

CSO Tek says:
::Continues scanning::

EO On says:
CO: There was three kind of rock with a symbol, but it's nothing to worried about, sir

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO: I... I don't know

CO Siwiak says:
::mutters to self::  Nothing to worry about...

CTO Martook says:
@Can we send a pic of these to the ship, see if anyone there has any ideas?

CTO Martook says:
@Both:  I don't suggest moving on until we know more

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO: I suggest we continue

CSO Tek says:
::Leans back in his chair::

OPS Palmer says:
@CTO: Relay them to CSO and have him analyze them.

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO: If those lifesigns are human, we need to get there quickly

CO Siwiak says:
::while nobody is looking, spins around in his chair a few times::

OPS Palmer says:
@Both: Let start moving again and look for those life signs.

CTO Martook says:
@CMO:  No no, you've done enough running off already, stay put, we'll relay the images to the CSO

CMO Lalin says:
@OPS/CTO: Do you guys have anything we can use as a tobbagon?

CTO Martook says:
@*CSO*  What do you make of these symbols?

CSO Tek says:
::Looks at the Captain spinning, and pauses:: CO: Sir, are you all right?

OPS Palmer says:
@CTO: Have you relayed them yet?

CTO Martook says:
@Both:  These symbols didn't burn themselves into rocks by coincedence, they mean something.. thinking caps on

CSO Tek says:
::Tries to ignore the Captain as the data comes in:: COM: CTO: I, myself, do not recognize it, however, I shall run it through the LCARS database for information.

CTO Martook says:
@OPS:  Aye, I have, waiting for response

ACTD Chris says:
ACTION There is a huge rock formation in the distance about 15 meters ahead.

CSO Tek says:
::Runs the symbols through the LCARS database::

CO Siwiak says:
CSO:  Just... thinking...

CTO Martook says:
@COM CSO:  Thank you, CSO, let us know asap

OPS Palmer says:
@::looks at rock formation:

CSO Tek says:
::Looks at the Captain:: CO: Thinking? Oh.

OPS Palmer says:
@CTO: what do you make of that rock formation?

CMO Lalin says:
@::analyzes the rocks:: CTO: I don't get it

CO Siwiak says:
::grunts while taking a glance at the CSO::

CTO Martook says:
@::Scanning formation::  Both:  Does this head towards the cavern?  Is there a way through?  ::checking for further symbols::

CSO Tek says:
::Theres a beep, and he opens the com channel back to the CTO:: COM: CTO: The symbols do not match up with anything in our database. I'm afraid we're out of "luck" in that area.

CSO Tek says:
::Hears the CO's grunt, does not look at him::

CTO Martook says:
@Both:  Onwards, let's check the big rock formation

OPS Palmer says:
@CTO: Lets get moving

CO Siwiak says:
*OPS*:  Status report Mr. Palmer... what's up?

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO/OPS: Wait

CTO Martook says:
@COM CSO:  Shame, thank you, CSO.  Are there any patterns we can spot in the symbols and arrangement?

CSO Tek says:
COM: CSO: Not that I know of. The symbols are an enigma to the computer.

CTO Martook says:
@CMO:  What's up?

CTO Martook says:
@COM CSO:  Okay, thank you for the help, Sir

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO: The ground

OPS Palmer says:
@CO: Sir, we have found some patterns in some rock formations and we are following them to some cave openings.

CSO Tek says:
COM: CTO: You're welcome.

ACTD Chris says:
ACTION On the ground in front of the huge rock is a box with 3 colored lights on it. Each one has one of the symbols and two are closer together.

CMO Lalin says:
@::scans the ground:: OPS/CTO: It gets looser as we move down

CTO Martook says:
@Both:  Careful, make sure you don't step on anything that you'll drop through!

OPS Palmer says:
@::scans the box::

CTO Martook says:
@Both:  Keep scanning

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO/OPS: We won't survive if we go on our own feet

CTO Martook says:
@::relays next symbol to CSO  COM CSO:  Making anything with this extra symbol?

OPS Palmer says:
@CMO: what do you mean , doc?

CO Siwiak says:
::looks at the viewer and listens in on the AT::

EO On says:
CSO: maybe the symbol that matches means something were the rocks are located, sir

CSO Tek says:
EO: Perhaps.

CMO Lalin says:
@COM: Andy: Transport 3 toboggans down here

CTO Martook says:
@Both:  Okay, we stop until we can work out more..

CMO Lalin says:
@OPS/CTO: Have you guys ever been tobogganing before?

CTO Martook says:
@::mutters at comm glitch:: No way.. and you're supposed to be a doctor!

EO On says:
CSO: I’m going to try a simulations on the computer to see what I can found out of the rock, sir

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO: I'm much more

CSO Tek says:
EO: Go ahead, and good luck. Be sure to forward the information to both the away team, and me.

OPS Palmer says:
@CO: Sir, we have encounter a box with symbols that match the symbols on the previous rock formations.

CTO Martook says:
@CMO:  No hitting on me during a mission!  Right.. these lights.. come on chaps, can we see a pattern?  The two symbols closer together.. something with those two rocks..

CO Siwiak says:
*OPS*:  Understood...

CMO Lalin says:
@CTO: You have a sick mind

CTO Martook says:
@CMO:  I have much more
