Summary coming up

Host Jules says:
You have been ordered to Planet Benning for Training.
Senior officers are to be split into 2 teams to race 100 km.
You are to report to the Range Master at 0700 to begin.
It is now 0630 and you are in orbit of Benning.

@CO: How long will our training be Sir?

Host CO_Claymore says:
@OPS: How long does it take you to hike 100 clicks?

MO_Mahl says:
@::Tests his medical tricorder to make sure its in good working order.  Double checks his pack to make sure that he has the proper first aid equipment with him::

CTO_Dee says:
#::in the shuttle bay double checking the climbing equipment for the team and the weapons::   XO: I would like to assign you the second type 2 phaser if you are okay with that.

RangeMaster says:
$ Self: Maybe I should start having fun now.... ::mumbles::

OPS_Schnapps says:
@CO: That depends if the rest of the team wants to walk or run it Sir. ::grins::

MO_Mahl says:
@::Puts his pack on using the shoulder harness.  Is surprised that it doesn't seem heavier::

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::check the chronometer:: Alphas: Ok folks, on the boat we're going down now.

MO_Mahl says:
@::goes aboard the shuttle and takes a seat::

XO_Danforth says:
#CTO: Sounds good, Jazra.  I'd love to.  How are we doing tactically otherwise?  Have you done personnel assessment for our strengths and weaknesses?

XO_Danforth says:
#::thinks about helping Jazra, but doesn't want to undermine her capability so he watches hesitantly.::

CMO_Galen says:
#XO: medical is all set

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::walks aboard the shuttle:: OPS: You have conn... CIV: Have you decided who is to carry that second Type-II?

RangeMaster says:
$ ::shakes head:: Self: Self... this is ludicrous... COM: Ottawa: Are those Arcadia folks on their way yet?

XO_Danforth says:
#CMO: Excellent, doctor!  Good to have you on the team!  Go ahead and lock down in the shuttle.

CMO_Galen says:
#:: Taps a few buttons locking down the shuttle ::

FCO_Jankara says:

Host Jules says:
<OPS_H`lo> COM: RangeMaster:  They are in the shuttle bay now Sir.

CTO_Dee says:
#::hands the  XO his phaser and grabs her own::  Tactical wise we are a bit on the short side.  But I believe we will be adequate for the mission.

RangeMaster says:
$ COM: Ottawa: ONLY IN THE BAY??? Oh, never mind...here are their respective landing coordinates.... tell them to be prepared for hell. Benning out.

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: I thought you would be a good candidate for that.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  Both Shuttles receive landing coordinates.

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: Sir, if people will take a seat, we can get out of here.  We are in a race after all.

XO_Danforth says:
#CTO: As long as we can beat Alpha Team.  That's what I'm concerned about.  Let's get on board Lt.

XO_Danforth says:
#::gets on board and locks down:: FCO: Whenever you're ready Ens.

CMO_Galen says:
#:: sits down in his seat ::

OPS_Schnapps says:
@::checks his phaser and pack::

Host CO_Claymore says:
@OPS: Prepare for departure, ask for clearance and take us out when ready. I'd like to beat the Commander to the surface.

CIV_Horn says:
@::Hands the CO the other type two phaser::

FCO_Jankara says:
#ALL: Fasten your seatbelts lady and gentlemen, here we go. ::orders the shuttle door shut and powers up engines::

CTO_Dee says:

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::holds out hand towards the CIV for the Type-II:: CIV: Thank you.

FCO_Jankara says:
#::requests bay doors be opened for departure::

CMO_Galen says:
#CTO: What if you already have it packed?

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO: Find a way to beat the Captain to the surface.  I want him to know he has a challenge ahead.

Host CO_Claymore says:
@Alpha: So, are you guys ready for this?

FCO_Jankara says:
#::receives permission to depart and watches the bay door open:: XO: Aye sir, in that case, I suggest you all hold on tight.

CTO_Dee says:
#::smiles at the XO's remark to the FCO::  CMO: Then I hope you checked it out prior and you can leave the one I prepped in the shuttle.

MO_Mahl says:
@CO: This will be a first for me, Sir.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  Shuttles have launched from the Ottawa.

CMO_Galen says:
#CTO: Yes I have. I do rock climbing after all.

FCO_Jankara says:
::flies out of the ship on her own instead of through tractors and hits full impulse at the first possible moment::

CTO_Dee says:
#::nods to the CMO::

Host RangeMaster says:
$ Self: That's it... I am annoyed... ::moves over to the console and begins reprogramming::

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: We should hit the atmosphere in seconds Sir.

CMO_Galen says:
#FCO: Is it going to be a bumpy ride in?

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO: Just remember, land before the Captain can, Ens. and I'll buy you a drink in Arcadias when we get back.

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: Both shuttles hit heavy turbulence as they descend in the atmosphere.

MO_Mahl says:
@::Bounces around in his seat a bit as the turbulence hits::

CTO_Dee says:
#::holds on to the edge of her sit::  FCO: That's it... I get to fly us home. ::grins at her::

XO_Danforth says:
#::swivels in the copilots seat to lend a hand where needed to keep the shuttle steady::

FCO_Jankara says:
#All: Hang on, turbulence in the atmosphere. ::adjusts the flight as well as possible::

CMO_Galen says:
#:: jolts around ::

OPS_Schnapps says:
@::bumps around a little:: Self: Isn't this a nice start.

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::braces himself:: OPS: Is there any chance you can increase IDF?

Host RangeMaster says:
@ ACTION: Shuttle Alpha's port engine shuts down. Shuttle Alpha begins a spin downward.

XO_Danforth says:
#::braces against the control panel as he looks at the readings:: FCO: Through that pocket over there, Ensign.  We'll get down quicker and easier.

XO_Danforth says:
#::points at the lull in the monitor::

Host RangeMaster says:
# ACTION: Shuttle Beta's starboard engine shuts down. Shuttle Beta begins a spin downward.

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: Both shuttles are way off course.

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: Full shutdown Sir. ::tries to get the engine to restart::

MO_Mahl says:
@::Feels a bit motion sick as the shuttle spins away::

CMO_Galen says:
:: feels the centrifugal force :: #XO/FCO: what's going on?

XO_Danforth says:
#::begins initializing power to the stabilizers.::

MO_Mahl says:
@::takes out a hypo from his kit and injects himself with something to ease the motion sickness::

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO: Reverse the spin, Ensign.  I've got extra power to the stabilizers and thruster controls::

CTO_Dee says:
#::loses her smile as she closes her eyes, her symbiont making her extra sensitive to the spinning::

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: Trying Sir. ::adjusts the thrusters to stop the roll::

XO_Danforth says:
#::his hands fly over the consoles as he quickly looks at the tactical screen to keep the target landing area locked::

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::puts away map and focuses on the console in front of him that's beeping:: OPS: Beta shuttle has lost control, I’m tracking their position.

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: The g force is increasing in the shuttles. It is at 3 g and accelerating, the SIF is having difficulty compensating.

CMO_Galen says:
#:: starts to lose consciousness ::

OPS_Schnapps says:
@::feels the shuttle start spinning:: CO: We have to sir. ::tries to see what's stopped the engines::

MO_Mahl says:
@::Begins to get light headed::

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: Both shuttles are headed towards the Arctic region of the planet.

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO: What if we tractor to the other shuttle?  Would that stop the rotation?

CMO_Galen says:
#:: his head tips over as Eddie drops unconscious in his seat ::

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: Alpha shuttle cannot read Beta shuttle on sensors and vice versa

CTO_Dee says:
#::hears a noise and opens her eyes to see the doc::  XO: We have lost the CMO

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: Both shuttles are now experience 5g conditions.

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: Can't tractor if we can't see them sir.  Sensors are screwed. ::tries to slow the descent and spin via thrusters::

Host CO_Claymore says:
@OPS: I've lost contact with Beta ::falls back into his chair unable to keep contact with the console:: ETA to impact

XO_Danforth says:
#CTO: That's not good.  Who's going to clean up the mess?  ::smiles and tries to keep a positive attitude.::

OPS_Schnapps says:
@CO: 30 seconds sir! ::tries to slow their descent::

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO: We're heading into the arctic, can you fire our thrusters upward to keep altitude?  I don't want to crash into any mountains.

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: Both shuttles gain partial stability for landing 

Host CO_Claymore says:
@OPS: It'd be nice if we could transport out!

CTO_Dee says:
#FCO: If you keep us alive I would appreciate it

CTO_Dee says:
#::adds:: FCO: Dee would too

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: Both shuttles begin a crash landing in the arctic tundra not knowing where the other is.

FCO_Jankara says:
#CTO: Doing my best! ::adds more to the port thruster::

Host RangeMaster says:
#ACTION: The XO flies out of his seat and slams his shoulder in the bulkhead dislocating it.

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::rocks around in his chair then out of it onto the floor::

FCO_Jankara says:
#::slows their descent enough to slightly control the crash::

MO_Mahl says:
@::begins to get his bearings again as the shuttle slowly stabilizes a bit::

CEO_Hoyt says:
#::grabs a console and holds on::

OPS_Schnapps says:
@::tries to focus on the console, pushing the thrusters to the max::

Host RangeMaster says:
@ ACTION: The OPS officer flies out of the seat and hits the bulkhead with a loud and sickening thud.

CTO_Dee says:
#::wants to rush to the XO's side but knows she has to stay in her seat::

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: Both shuttles are immobile in the arctic.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#FCO: You all right?

OPS_Schnapps says:
@::sees the bulkhead flying toward him:: Nooooooo!!!!! ::is unconscious::

CMO_Galen says:
#:: starts coming around ::

XO_Danforth says:
#::thinks OW and wonders why the harness didn't hold::

MO_Mahl says:
@::gets himself unstrapped and goes to check on OPS::

XO_Danforth says:
#All: OW!!!

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::rises up on his knees:: Alpha: everyone alright?

CMO_Galen says:
#:: rubs his head :: ALL: what happened?

CEO_Hoyt says:
#XO: Commander....::grabs his tricorder:: Seems you shoulder is dislocated?

XO_Danforth says:
#::gets up slowly:: All: Status report everyone.

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::sees the OPS and assumes not:: CIV: Lieutenant?

MO_Mahl says:
@CO: Ops is down, Sir.  Running a scan now. ::Scans the OPS officer to find what injuries were sustained::

FCO_Jankara says:
::rubs her hands together a bit:: CEO: Yeah, I think so.  What about the rest of the team?

XO_Danforth says:
#CEO: Seems like it.  I have medical training, but it's hard to work on myself.  can we see if we can get the doctor mobile?

CTO_Dee says:
#::when the shuttle stops she unstraps herself and checks what is still working on the shuttle::

CEO_Hoyt says:
#XO: Aye sir.

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO: Locate Alpha team.  If they hit the same pocket, who knows how badly they are hurt.

CMO_Galen says:
#XO: what're you talking about I'm already mobile..

CTO_Dee says:
#CMO: You blacked out... you okay? ::glances at him::

CEO_Hoyt says:
#CMO: Galen...You okay? Can you move?

FCO_Jankara says:
#CEO: I have smelling salts in my pack.  Brought them just in case somebody got sick on the move.

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::looks to Horn:: CIV: Lieutenant are you alright?

CMO_Galen says:
#CTO/CEO: Yes I can. How badly are people injured?

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: Communications with Alpha and Beta shuttles are down.

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: I will be I think.

CMO_Galen says:
#:: grabs his medical tricorder and starts scanning the rest of  the team ::

CTO_Dee says:
#CMO: Just some soreness here.  XO: Sir we lost comms.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#CMO: Commander Danforth has a Dislocated shoulder....FCO seems okay....I have some work to do...::goes over to the FCO::FCO mind if i switch you seats?

Host CO_Claymore says:
@MO: How is he, and you for that matter?

MO_Mahl says:
@::Scans on OPS come back with massive head trauma, concussion, and subdermal hemotoma::

FCO_Jankara says:
#CEO: Hmm? ::seems distracted for a moment:: No, go ahead. ::gets up::

CMO_Galen says:
#XO: This is going to hurt as I reset it, then I'll have to put it into a sling.

XO_Danforth says:
#CTO: Darn it.  Is there... ::winces in pain as he sits in the co pilot's chair again:: is there any way to fix it?

CEO_Hoyt says:
#FCO: You okay Jankara?  Why don’t you get the Doctor to check you out?

XO_Danforth says:
#CMO: Do what you need to Doctor. ::braces for the pain::

CEO_Hoyt says:
#Computer: Respond.

MO_Mahl says:
@CO: Sir, OPS is in grave shape.  Without surgery, I don’t know if he will survive.

FCO_Jankara says:
#CEO: No, I'm fine.  Just a little light headed.

CTO_Dee says:
#XO: You know me and engineering... maybe the CEO can tell you better than I.

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: Ok sir what do you want me to do?

CMO_Galen says:
# :: Puts his hands on the backside of the XO's shoulder and then pushes in from the front ::

CEO_Hoyt says:
#CMO: Check the FCO out please...

Host RangeMaster says:
# <Computer> CEO: Wwwwwwwwworkingggg

XO_Danforth says:
#CEO: How about it, Chief.  Anyway to fix the Comm system?  Do our personal communicators work?

XO_Danforth says:
#::grits teeth as the pain arcs through him::

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: Sir?  I think we'd better split up your pack among the rest of us.  That shoulder won't hold the weight.

Host CO_Claymore says:
@CIV: Try communications, if you can't get anything in here check the subspace transceiver assembly outside. MO: Can you stabilize him?

CTO_Dee says:
#::grimaces as she sees what the CMO just did::

CMO_Galen says:
#CEO: In a second I will.  :: scans the XO: okay, its in :: puts the XO's arm into a sling ::

CEO_Hoyt says:
#::taps a few commands:: XO: Unknown sir. Comms maybe down permanently. I'll see what i can do...I am going to have to go out side.

XO_Danforth says:
#::nods reluctantly at the FCO's suggestion, knowing she's right.::

CIV_Horn says:
@::Takes a seat in front of the console and tries to contact somebody::

CTO_Dee says:
#::starts to see if she find out where they are and what the last know heading and location they had on the Alpha shuttle::

FCO_Jankara says:
#::pulls out a tricorder and scans the area outside of the shuttle::

CMO_Galen says:
#:: walks over to the FCO:: Scans :: ALL: seems to be okay

MO_Mahl says:
@CO: Without him being in sickbay, all I can do is sedate him, the injuries are too severe to do anything else down here.

XO_Danforth says:
#CEO: ::nods:: Take Lt. Dee with you so she can assess the situation.

Host RangeMaster says:
$ ::leaves the monitoring room and goes and sits in his hot tub::

FCO_Jankara says:
#CMO: Thanks. ::looks at Hoyt:: CEO: Told ya. ::grins then focuses back on her work::

CIV_Horn says:
@::Gets an ear full of static::

CEO_Hoyt says:
#XO: Commander...I work faster alone. ::sticks his tongue out at the FCO::

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: Comm is down.

Host CO_Claymore says:
@MO: What about moving him, can we do that?

Host RangeMaster says:
ACTION: The temperature outside is -10 degrees Celsius with 30 km/h winds giving a wind chill of -40C. There is a light snow fall outside.

FCO_Jankara says:
#::sees the CEO's gesture and wonders about the maturity of the engineering department::

XO_Danforth says:
#CEO: I know, Chief.  But we are in an unknown environment with unknown threat analysis.  The CTO is the best equipped to deal with those.

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: Do we have any EVA suits on the shuttle?

MO_Mahl says:
@CO: TO be honest, I wouldn't recommend it.  He has severe head trauma, and internal bleeding.

CTO_Dee says:
#::stands::  XO/CEO:  Good thing we have the multi-climate clothing... though I would still recommend that we use the EVC suits in the storage.

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: I'm getting nothing but snow and ice.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#XO: Aye Commander....

CEO_Hoyt says:
#CTO: Use the multi-climate clothing...easier to move in.

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO: Anything on sensors at all?  Can we get a fixed position on the planet so we know where we need to head?

CMO_Galen says:
#:: dawns the Multi-climate uniforms ::

CEO_Hoyt says:
#CMO: You stay inside....

Host CO_Claymore says:
@CIV: Check the storage bays under the seats ::points:: MO: We may have to rip out a chair and drag it along as a sled, we can place our packs on one too, we'd save energy that way. ::looks down at the map to see if there is anything nearby::

CTO_Dee says:
#CEO: Suit yourself but I am wearing one. ::pulls one out and starts to put it on::

CMO_Galen says:
#CEO: You sure. what If you guys need me out there.

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: I'm checking sir, but we are way off course to begin with.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#CMO: Stay inside with the others.

CIV_Horn says:
@::Finds EVA suits and puts one on::

CTO_Dee says:
#::quickly gets suited up and grabs her type 2 phaser and a tricorder::  CEO: Need me to carry anything else for you?

FCO_Jankara says:
#::swears under her breath:: XO: Nothing, there's a strong magnetic field.  It's interfering with sensors.

MO_Mahl says:
@CO: As long as we can keep the OPS on that sled, without jarring him around too much.  I will need to use rope to tie his head to the chair.  

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: Ok, I am going to try the transceiver.

XO_Danforth says:
#CMO: Prep the suits in case we need them.  Find out how many of them are working and then see what we can salvage.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#::does up the coat and grabs his tools:: CTO: Nope. Just watching my back would be nice ::opens the hatch and steps outside::

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: If we leave the shuttle, my thought is for a couple of us to climb the nearest peak in search of the other shuttle.  Surely the Benning staff saw of go off course and will send a rescue team to search for us.

CTO_Dee says:
#::nods and follows behind him::

MO_Mahl says:
@CO: Sir, I am also going to put OPS in an EVA suit.  That should at least keep his body temperature steady.  

CEO_Hoyt says:
#::Shivers:: *XO*: Commander...do you read me?

FCO_Jankara says:
#::moves back to the console to see what she can get out of the shuttle::

Host CO_Claymore says:
@MO: My compass isn't working... and to think I even brought an analog one so it wouldn't need to be powered ::pulls out a tricorder to see if that does any good::

CTO_Dee says:
@::scans the area with her eyes and with the tricorder::

Host CO_Claymore says:
@MO: It would be beneficial to him, but not for us because it would limit our movements, burn more calories

XO_Danforth says:
#*CEO*: Go ahead, Chief.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#CTO: Well the Comm Badges are out too...

CTO_Dee says:
#::nods::

CIV_Horn says:
@::Opens the shuttle door and heads outside::

CEO_Hoyt says:
#::opens the transceiver array panel and scans the unit::

CIV_Horn says:
@::Goes to the transceiver panel and pops it open::

FCO_Jankara says:
#::checks everything and groans::

CIV_Horn says:
@::The unit looks pretty well shot but finds that the emergency beacon is still working and activates it::

CEO_Hoyt says:
#CTO:I think the transceiver array is going to have to be replaced...can you go back in and see if there is a spare?

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: Sir, we have 2 hours of battery power.  After that, this shuttle will be dead.

Host RangeMaster says:
$ ::sits in the warm water in the hot tub smiling::

CTO_Dee says:
#::picks up that they are two hundred kilometers off course:: CEO: Aye sir.

MO_Mahl says:
@::Gets OPS situated in an EVA suit, then using some rope, ties him down as best as he can to one of the "sled chairs"::

CMO_Galen says:
#:: goes to work on checking out these EVA suits ::

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: What's your plan?

XO_Danforth says:
#::thinks:: FCO: What are the chances of turning this into an effective shelter?

CTO_Dee says:
#::closes her tricorder and goes back into the shuttle::

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::keeps studying his tricorder readings::

CMO_Galen says:
#XO: All EVA suits but 1 are functional.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#::taps a couple buttons and releases the transceiver array and takes it out::

MO_Mahl says:
@CO: OPS is ready to be moved.  I have him in an EVA suit, and he is sedated and tied down.  As long as we don’t bang him around too much, he SHOULD be ok, for now.

CIV_Horn says:
@::Takes his tricorder and scans the area::

Host Jules says:
@ACTION:  OPS begins to moan and regain consciousness

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: Is it possible?  Yes.  Permission to speak freely Sir?

CTO_Dee says:
#::takes her helmet off once inside::  XO: Scans show that we are 200 kms off course and the CEO says the transceiver array needs to be replace.

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO: Of course, Jaina.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#::pulls it out and brings it to the shuttle door and bangs on the door::

CTO_Dee says:
#XO: Oh and commbadges are not working... ::starts to look for the replacement part::

CIV_Horn says:
@::Reenters the shuttlecraft::

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: We are in trouble!

Host CO_Claymore says:
@MO: We're 200 kilometers away from our goal and I can't pick up the others. ::rips up the second bench seat in the back of the shuttle and throws his pack onto it to get to the rope inside:: This isn't going to be easy

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: You are injured but mobile.  We know that we are way north of where we should be.  We also know that scanners and commbadges don't work here.  We were prepped for a 100 click journey, I say we take it.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#::bangs on the shuttle door again::

CTO_Dee says:
#::hits the button to open the door for the CEO::

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::continues to rig a harness to the bench seat:: CIV: What did you find?

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: The rest of us could divide your pack amongst us.  I think we should head south until we either find life or can use our equipment.

MO_Mahl says:
@OPS: Lay still.  You have been injured in the crash.  We are going to carry you with us.  For now, I just need you to lay still, and rest.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#::pulls in the unit:: XO: I come baring gifts

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO: Didn't you say that a rescue party would likely be coming for us?  They can't find us if we are on the move.

CTO_Dee says:
#::finds the part and as the CEO enters holds it up::  CEO: This it?

OPS_Schnapps says:
@::mumbles something unintelligible::

XO_Danforth says:
#CTO: No communications, huh?  Were you able to locate the CO's shuttle?

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: The transceiver was shot. I was able to activate the emergency beacon.

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: If we leave a message of our intended direction, they would know where to look.  Besides, I think they'd be coming from the south anyway not the north.

CEO_Hoyt says:
#CTO: That's the emergency beacon

MO_Mahl says:
@::attaches a cortical stimulator to OPS.  That, in conjunction with the EVA suit, should keep him stable for the move::

CTO_Dee says:
#::shakes her head:: XO: No sir. But it is possible that we can you debris from the shuttle to mark what direction we go if we do move out.

CMO_Galen says:
#FCO: begging your pardon. but then wouldn't it be wise to stay put!

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: The terrain out there is flat and looks the same in every direction.

Host Jules says:
# ACTION:  The sound of Ice breaking begins to be heard under shuttle beta

FCO_Jankara says:
#::stands up:: CMO: With all due respect, we can't guarantee the rescue party is coming.  We stay here, we freeze to death.  Only a wimp sits on his butt and waits to die.

Host CO_Claymore says:
@CIV: No telling if they'll respond to it. That's standard operating procedure at the beginning of the training exercise. I've got a bearing on which direction we go and the clothing we have on is capable of handling this whether if we add the insulating jacket in our backs.

CTO_Dee says:
#::smirks::  CEO: Well this is an emergency. ::reaches for the only other object in the container that it can be.::

CMO_Galen says:
#:: Hears a sound :: ALL: MOVE the ice is breaking!

FCO_Jankara says:
@::adds:: CMO: Sir!

CEO_Hoyt says:

Host RangeMaster says:
#<Computer>: CEO: Unnnnnable to rrrrr..... e.....    

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: This equipment will only handle the conditions for so long.

CTO_Dee says:

# ACTION:  The nose of shuttle beta begin to sink in the ice.

Host CO_Claymore says:
@CIV: We have to go, you'll pull OPS. MO: Bring up the rear and keep a watch on OPS. I'll take lead pulling the sled with packs on it. CIV: Oh, and go head and take off that EVA suit, the trade off doesn't get you anywhere.

FCO_Jankara says:
#::makes sure the XO is clear and heads back for the other suit and another armful of supplies::

MO_Mahl says:
@::Makes sure that his all weather clothing is on properly, puts on a hat and gloves, and goggles to protect his eyes from the elements::

CTO_Dee says:
#XO: Sir I suggest that we keep moving back... this ice might not stop cracking.

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: Well, I guess fate just made our decision.

CMO_Galen says:
#:: nods in agreement with the CTO ::

XO_Danforth says:
#CTO: Good p..p...point, Jazra.  Let's get moving.

CEO_Hoyt says:

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO: You're right about that, Jaina.  You're right about that.

Host Jules says:
# ACTION:  Shuttle Beta slips beneath the ice, disappearing from view.

FCO_Jankara says:
#CTO: The Commander can't carry his pack.  I'll fit what I can of his stuff into mine.  Can you carry some more?

CIV_Horn says:
@CO: You know the odds of us surviving are minimal?

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::reaches down to his boots and lowers the spikes then adds his gloves to his uniform:: CIV, MO: Ready? ::slips on the harness for the make-shift sled and waits::

XO_Danforth says:
#FCO/CTO: If it's secured tightly I can drag it along for a while.

FCO_Jankara says:
#::pulls the heavier clothes from the XO's pack and hands them to him:: XO: I think you'll be wanting these.

CMO_Galen says:
#ALL : and I'll do the same. hand me some stuff.

MO_Mahl says:
@::Hears the strange whistling sound, and tries to figure out where its coming from::

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: Nice try Sir, but I'd rather carry extra and keep you on your feet.  That injury's gonna slow you down as it is.

CIV_Horn says:
@::Zips his coat up and hears a loud whistling::

Host CO_Claymore says:
@::hears something incoming:: Alpha: Let's get out of here ::opens the door and heads out::

MO_Mahl says:
@CO/CIV: Do you hear that?

CIV_Horn says:
@All: Evacuate!

FCO_Jankara says:
#CEO: How about you?  Can you fit extra items in your pack? ::fits everything she can into her pack::

Host RangeMaster says:
@ ACTION: The whistling gets louder and closer as the team sees a giant white ball falling towards the shuttle.

#All:  We have to move away from here it isn't safe.

FCO_Jankara says:
#XO: We're ready sir.

XO_Danforth says:
#All: Alright.  Let's double time it.  We need to stay alive.  How resistant is the portable tent?

CEO_Hoyt says:
#XO: Commander I was able to get a few more tool kits out of the shuttle before it sank.

MO_Mahl says:
@CIV: I am with you on that one, Sir.  

XO_Danforth says:
#::begins moving:: CEO: Good.  Good job, Chief.

Host CO_Claymore says:
@Alpha: Neither do I... CIV: Is my sled secure? MO: Is OPS secure?
