Host Nick says:
Previously on Arcadia.  An away team was assembled and has found a secondary shaft to infiltrate the base where the federation signature from a ship that hasn't been built yet was detected.
Host Nick says:
Despite an accident while going down the shaft, the team has made it to the bottom of this secondary air shaft, and is now on a main floor about 2/3 of the way down to the signature.  They must now make their way to the primary shaft, and down to the depths below, which is made more difficult by the presence of people on this floor.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy (ginahembro@odn-5E00B9BD.austin.res.rr.com) has joined the conversation.
Host Nick says:
Meanwhile, back on the U.S.S. Hathor, a large spiraling vortex appeared in front of the ship, and despite the best efforts of the FCO, who scrambled to escape the pull of the vortex, the ship was sucked in and contact with the team on the surface was lost.
Host Nick says:
The team under the surface does not know the fate of the Hathor, and the FCO isn't yet very sure of what happened either
Host Nick says:
But what the team on the surface does know, is they are unable to return to the ship, unable to contact starfleet, and still in the dark about why there is a starfleet ship burried deep beneath the surface of this planet in a coal mine, when the ship hasn't even been built yet

CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::following the CO::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Gets off the ladder and takes up a covering position as the rest finish the climb down::
Host Nick says:
@ACTION: The Hathor emerges from the vortex much closer to the planet, already in a steep re-entry angle, klaxons go off indicating the dangerous position
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::scanning, picks up the occupants:: CO: Detectings several persons below us. Maybes 4 or 5.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: From heres I surmises that sinces we cant see thems, they can't see us
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Stands next to the CTO::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Seems we have lost total contact with the ship.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Well lets get moving then, maybe we can get something from our goal that will help.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
All: We don't know it's destroyed or anything just that we lost contact. Lets go we'll try the 'we own the place approach' If that fails we'll stun them. Ready?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Well, we know something down there is broadcasting a COM signal we picked up. Sounds like our best bet fer calling for help eh?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::reluctantly follows along::
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: That's the plan.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Moves carefully forward but with attitude.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Leads the way, hand in her pocket holding her phaser ready to draw if needed::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Perhaps whens we reaches the bottom, we should use the shadowings to our advantages, no?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
ALL: How are we to get off this god forsaken planet if there is no ship to receive us, nevermind the lives potentially lost ..
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::a smile and a nod.::CSO: Just so, a little quiet recon...
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: The idea is to use the comm on the item down here...
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
OPS: Pehaps your talents woulds be bested served with focusings on the tasks at hand and not on somethings that we cannot at this moments control, Lieutenant.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: We're not out of luck yet.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
::Does her best to avoid culiding with the planet::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
ALL: Could ye all talk a bit louder? I think there's a Private at the bottom of the shaft that hasna heard ye yet.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: How are you at distractions by the way?
Host Nick says:
INFO: The team sees the entrance to the main shaft about 20 meters down a narrow hallway, two guards stand with what appear to be rifles
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
<edit add @ in my last post>
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Just tell me what ye need done. I came prepared. ::pats her stuffed pockets and belt pouches::
Host Nick says:
@ACTION: The stress at the hull is at maximum as Maui pulls up hard.  with the shields at 4% after being depleted in the vortex, temperature readings on the hull are very high, approaching critical levels.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::slowly moving forward, complete unseen for the shadows:: ::using hand signals only:: CO: 2 guards. Armed with large weapons. Appear to be rifles of some sort.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:

CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::As a thought suddenly occurs...::
Host Nick says:
<Earl> ::looks up:: CO: You there, I don't know you, Do you have clearance to be here?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::whispering:: CO: With my speedings, and using the shadowings, I could take em both outs quietly and be backed at your side withouts them knowings anything, buts it is your callings.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Earl: That's a stupid question! And of course you don't me, inspecters do no make friends! Now we've got multiple sites to hit and I will not be delayed.
Host Nick says:
@ACTION: The Hathor slowly pulls out of it's steep descent and the thermal readings start to lessen, but the ship is not yet out of the woods, it still takes all of Maui's and the crew's efforts to save the ship
Host Nick says:
<Earl> CO: Inspector?  I'm sorry mam, I didn't ... I... wasn't expecting an inspection today Mam, it's not on my schedule.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
Earl: If ye knew about it, it'd hardly be a surprise inspection, now would it mate?
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Looks annoyed.::Earl: Whats the point of a planned inspection? We are not going to give you lot a chance to hide your misdeeds so unless you want me to take a very close look at  your record you'd best let us by and keep your mouth shut, solider!
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::following the CO;s ruse and acting like an inspector:: Earl: I woulds not be of the makings her mads if I was yous.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Earl: I've wasted enough time, there goes my good mood. I think I am going to have to take points off before I start.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::Trys with the help of the crew to get the ship in a save orbit::
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:

Host Nick says:
@ACTION: Hull breach on Deck 10
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
Earl: Tsk-tsks-tsk ::wavings a little finger at Earl:: Nows yas done it.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Earl: Now your very next words better be "Yes Ma'am, you may pass" or your name so I can make sure who I am reporting.
Host Nick says:
<OPS_Smith> @FCO: Hull breach on Deck 10, we're venting atmosphere!
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Smirks and does her strong, silent, and menacing act, making sure to stand so her Special Forces badges and rank are clearly displayed, hand in her pocket holding her phaser ready to draw::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:

FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
@OPS_Smith:Enable emergency forcefields!
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::in same tone:: CO: Yous knows how crankies I get if no ones get hit durings inspections.
Host Nick says:
<Earl> ::clearly confused:: CO: I'm sorry Mam... but regulations say that all inspections are to be scheduled a minimum of 32 hours in advance.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: Now, now that wouldn't be professional. We have other ways.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Apparently he didn't get the memo Boss. ::smirks::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:;pretend dejection:: CO: Awwws geees
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Now toe to toe with the man, in a very menacing tone.::Earl: Your. Name.
Host Nick says:
@ACTION: Forcefields are raised, but it turns out that the venting atmosphere gave the ship the extra push needed to get out of the red zone, while sitll in the atmosphere and damaged, the Hull has stopped heating up and shields are holding, the ship stops shaking.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Her rank and military intelligence insignia clearly showing.::
Host Nick says:
<Earl> ::gulps in with fear:: CO: Varan third class Earl Orana mam.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Earl: Enjoy your position now Varan Third Class because as soon as I find your superior you will not hold it for long. Because obviously they failed to inform you that special inspections do not need to be cleared with a Varan Third.
Host Nick says:
ACTION: the other guard, Ralph is slowly moving towards a red button on the wall, trying not to be noticed
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Pulls her phaser fires at the other guard then at earl.::
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
All:boring conversation anyway.
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The two guards collapse to the floor stunned.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
Earl: SUPRISES!
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
All:Hide the bodies,...better yet do we have anything that smell like beer?'
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::pulls out his tricorder and beforms a local scan of the area:: CO: Lets hope they dont have internl sensors yet.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: I say we vaporize them Boss, leave nothing but a mystery behind.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
<edit performs>
Host Nick says:
INFO: A nearby closet contains many bottles of some sort of wine.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: You would end their lives?
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::pulls out two bottles and hands one to the CTO.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::sniffs::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::walks over to a nearby closet::
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: We're not going to do that. now set the scene.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
All: Bleahhhhhh
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Pours some of the wine on Ralph and drags him into the closet::
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::Manovers the ship into a safe orbit and calls for damage reports::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::attempts to open the closet::
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Pours some wine on earl and puts it in his hand.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: To protect us and secure the mission? Without hesitation mate.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
All:Let's go speed is of the essence...
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: Twisteds you ares, mate
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: I likes it
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: They might stay out long enough to complete the mission..
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CSO: You have no idea, mate. ::grins wolfishly::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Scans the area and other side of the hatch before proceeding::
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Can you disable that alarm button?
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Pausing at the door.::
Host Nick says:
<OPS_Smith> @FCO: Well you know about the hull breach on deck 10, shields are down to 2%, power fluctuations throughout the ship but stabalizing, casualty reports coming in, a few bumps and bruises, but no serious injuries or fatalities.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Let me see.. ::scans the alarm system::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::disappears into the shadows:: CO: I will scouts aheads, if you wishes.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: The hatch is not rigged with the Alarm it is a manual interface it should be safe to open.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Good but what about that red button?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Opens the hatch and moves through, phaser at the ready, looking for a good position to cover the rest of the team from::
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: keep an eye out.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Elevator down Boss.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: I might be able to disconnect it. hold on ..
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Right then. Soon as we secure this alarm we'll head down.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: As you wishes ::moves forward completely encased in shadow::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::removes the face plate around the buttton snips a couple of wires::
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Best to hide the fact it's been tampered.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Steps into the elevator waiting for Ops.::
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
@OPS_Smith: Analyze the sensor logs find out what that anomaly was. I assume it was the anamaly that send us closer to the planet.
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The small red glowing light inside the panel blinks out
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Right I am making as small of an imprint as possible.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::carefully replaces the faceplate around the button and resecures it to the wall::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Checks the elevator while she waits for the rest of the team::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: That should do it, at least according to the power readings from the tricorder.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Lets go then.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
@*CO*: Hathor to away team.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: A Special note, that disabled the button I can't hope to disable the entire alarm network from here, for that we would need to find some kind of central location where its controlled.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CSO: Do us a favor and scan the bottom of the shaft if ye can and see what waits fer us, eh?
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Keep scanning for it, we'll need to know it's location.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::is the last one through the hatch::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::scans shaft with tricorder::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::nods::
Host Nick says:
SCENE: Inside the elevator is a storage container containing a number of what appear to be lab coats, on the wall of the elevator is some sort of squawk box intercom, as the elevator starts descending, a voice comes from the speaker
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::grabs the lab coats and starts passing them out, putting one on and looking for a clipboard.::
Host Nick says:
<Doc_Odine> *Elevator*: Ish thats my replacement? Iz hopse so, I'ze veen down vere for days
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::puts on the offered coat::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: 5 peoples and one heavilies damaged ship, sizing of a runabouts.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Doc: Of course, you didn't think they'd completely forget about you Doctor.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Shrugs at the others::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Nods::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::puts on a lab coat::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::looks at the CO curiously:: CO: I don't thinks it comes in my size. :grins at her::
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::nods and hangs the one for the CSO back up.::
Host Nick says:
<Doc_Odine> *Elevator*: Iz about time.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::Repeats communication attempt:: OPS_Smith: how is the Comm any damage to it?
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
All: Ok do we let them go or stun and hide the bodies?
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
All: Quick now...
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Definately not pushing the comm button.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Unless you think talking to them will get us useful intel Boss, I say we drop 'em like a bad habit.
Host Nick says:
<OPS_Smith> @FCO: Comm is fine sir.. but there is something odd.  I'm not detecting the mine shaft at all, or the bunker, or most of the buildings or people on the planet.
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Glances at CSO and OPS::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::crouches, ready to spring::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Gets her phaser out and readies it::
Host Nick says:
<Doc_Odine> ::stands at the door to the elevator, not even looking up at his replacements as teh door opens, he gestures without looking at them:: She's all yours, I need some Coffee
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::looks at Smith:: OPS_Smith: what do you mean? explain
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Looks at the CO for orders::
CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Pulls out her phaser and stuns the man.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Opens fire on anyone else she sees that isn't in the Away Team::
Host Nick says:
<OPS_Smith> @FCO: I mean it's gone.  I see the mountain range where the shaft and bunker were, but it's solid.  I can barely detect the ship.  The atmosphere has far less pollution, and there are far less people on the planet
Host Nick says:
ACTION: as the phaser fire starts, before they can stun the whole team, one of the doctors panics and hits a similar red button on the wall, causing klaxons to ring
Host Nick says:
