SD 10308.26 Season Four Episode 11 (Mission #147) Crystal Ball Part 1

The S.S. Crystalline, a science starship manned with a crew of 11, was assigned to study various crystal formations in a series of three systems.

Reports indicate that after completing their studies in the first system, they encountered unusual energy signatures from the fifth planet in the second system. Since then, all contact with the S.S. Crystalline has been lost.

The USS Claymore is to leave immediately and to determine the cause of the S.S. Crystalline's disappearance in this second system with all possible haste. It is imperative that the crew and her ship be brought back safely as the research they have been doing is invaluable.

SFC Research Center has sent along the medical files on all personnel assigned to the S.S. Crystalline along with the special transponder codes each has embedded under their skin. They are in hopes that this information will aid the USS Claymore in her search.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
::Hears his name::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
::overhears the conversation:: XO: Don't forget security as well.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Have the team set their tricorders to search for the transponder codes given to us by Starfleet.  That might help a bit.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Aye sir.  

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
::Loads transponder codes and ship specs into a tricorder::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Before we go anywhere, I'd like to get a good scan of the area surrounding the wreck.  No need for any surprises.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
::watches:: XO: Eli dear are you ignoring me?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks over as if to say "In a minute...  You see who I'm talking to don't you?"::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  That was in the Mission Briefing I sent out.  I don't plan on sending a team unless it becomes a have to thing.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
::smiles:: XO: I was just suggesting that you need to take security with you as well.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
:: downloads information into his tricorder and continues to work on some scan references::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks over to Yamara::  Yamara: You just want to tag a long for the ride...  ::smiles::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
XO: Of course someone has to keep you out of trouble. ::grins and winks::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::begins to say something but the XO walks off.  The captain turns and sits down.::  FCO:  ETA?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::shakes head::  Yamara: Ok.  You're in.  COMmander.

CEO_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
*CO*: Sir, I am happy to inform you that ships functions are at 100%.  Engines are at 110%, and if we have to I can get you to 115% if needed.  Shields and weapons are at 110%, and all sensors are at 110%.

ACTION: There is no response from the Crystalline.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::brings the Claymore up along side the port side of the Crystalline and brings the Claymore to full stop:: CO/XO: All stop, we are holding along side.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Are you reading any life signs over there?

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
CO: I'm getting no response , Sir. Shall I keep trying?

ACTION: The Crystalline is completely devoid of life although all ships functions are still on line.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Captain, my scans of the Crystalline and the area around, is showing nothing sir.  It is devoid of life, yet still has some ship functions on line.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks over to the science station::  CSO: How about the transponders....   Can you find them?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Stop hailing them.  XO:  Prepare your away team.  Go over there and see if you can find out what happened to the crew.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
XO: I'm scanning Commander.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
:: Begins a new scan for the transponders::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
::Agrees with CO's order...no one home::

ACTION: Nothing is picked up on the transponder signals.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Yes sir.....  

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
XO: Sir, my scans show no sign of the transponder signals.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: You too Mr. Theron.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::stands for a moment thinking, thought he heard his name on the 'going' list::

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::nods and makes his way to the TL::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
XO: Yes sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::enters the TL with the rest of the group::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
::In Turbo lift::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
:: walks over to the TL with some scientific supplies::

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::follows XO::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
::holds the door open waiting patiently for the others::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
::Has tricorder and will pick up arms from transporter room storage closet::

ACTION: The AT is now in the Transporter Room.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
::opens a weapons locker and passes out phasers::

CEO_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::senses the impending departure of the AT::

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::stands in the TR and checks his equipment, holsters phaser and tricorder:: XO: Ready commander.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
::Gets phaser, checks it is set on lowest stun level::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Yamara: Do you really think those are necessary?

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
XO: Standard procedures Eli you know that. ::hands him a phaser::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
::Hops up onto Transporter pad::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
:: Takes his phaser and checks his equipment, readying for anything::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::steps onto pad:

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::takes the phaser::  Cham: Yeah.... What ever...  ::steps up on to the pad::  

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
:: steps on to pad beside the FCO::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
TRChief: Coordinates Laid in?

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
<TR Chief> ::nods at the group and starts the beaming process::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
TRChief: Energize

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
::Is nothing but molecules now::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@::materializes on the Crystalline and steps off the pad cautiously looking around::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::materializes::  All: Scan for those transponders.....

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::steps off the Pad::  Yamara: Secure the vessel...  No uninvited guests allowed.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@::starts moving out::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Begins tricorder scan and looks for readings on the crew of the Crystalline::

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::steps down and pulls out the tricorder and turns to Irvin:: XO: Permission to make way for the bridge, I'd like to get a look at the flight log.

CEO_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
*CO*: Permission to report to my bridge station sir? Engineering is in good hands with Ens. Spanner as he is my right hand man and the only one at the present I trust engineering to.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@:: moves forward, beginning his scans of the area::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: Acknowledged sir. ::makes way for the bridge area and secures the ship::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Claymore to Irvin.  Keep me posted on your findings Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@FCO: Granted. 

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::taps com badge::  *CO* Aye sir...  We're securing the ship now.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::walks out of the TR and walks down the corridor looking for a TL::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*  Permission granted.  Randolph out.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@*XO*: Ship secured. No signs of life or dead bodies from what I have scanned so far.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@OPS: Mr. Norris...  Think we can get some more light in here?  

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@:: Looks like they all left in a hurry::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@Cham: That's just strange....  

CEO_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
Ens. Spanner: I am going to the bridge engineering station.  Hold the fort here.

CEO_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::heads to the TL::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: Well according to the logs I have here they all went down to do the research on the crystals.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Understood.  Randolph out.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Does his magic and finds some light::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@XO: There you go , SIr.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: It seems there was some sort of beaming schedule and its been running as per normal.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::sits down in his chiar and watches other bridge operations.::

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::enters the bridge and walks up to the conn, begins to try and access the flight log::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::watches as the lights come on::  Cham/OPS: Let's head to the bridge area...   Perhaps there are some logs we can access with Mr. Theron's flight logs....

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@:: sees no sign of a crew or anything on scans::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@CSO: Mr. Taylor...   See if you can access the ships transporter logs and orders...  

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Finds a turminal and taps into OPS. Working to bring all systems up and diagnos any that are inoperatable::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@XO: Yes sir, working on it now.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@::nods and heads off::

CEO_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::exits the TL on to the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::arrives at the bridge area::  FCO: Any luck Kayle?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::takes a seat at a station::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::On bridge checking systems.  All seem fine::

CEO_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::nods in the Captains direction and continues to her station::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@:: begins cracking the transporter codes, so he can access the logs and orders::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@::sits at a terminal and starts messing with the encryption codes::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::turns in his chiar::  CEO:  Welcome to the bridge Ensign.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@XO: I got the logs but everything is status quo . . . the ship followed the same flight plan filed with Starfleet and stopped here, enroute.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@All: There's gotta be some indication of where these folks went!  They didn't just vanish!

CEO_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Thank you sir it is an honor to be here.  I come to serve.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@::grins as she cracks the codes:: XO: You have access to the captain's logs now.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@XO: Systems coming on line now, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  As do we all...::smiling::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@XO: Sir, you have access to the transporter logs and orders sir.  :: wipes his brow ::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::taps on a console and accesse the ships log::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@::checks weapons status...what few there are:: XO: You know SFC is still nuts sending these research vessels out with such limited weapons.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::checks to make sure that their oribt is stable and all that::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::picks up a PADD and looks it over::

ACTION: As the logs play they are just standard logs depicting the work that has been going on. Last entry was ten days ago.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@Cham: The idea is that perhaps an unarmed vessel WON'T get fired upon... but that is a conversation for another time....

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
Computer:  Activate Bridge Engineering Station Voice ID Alpha 715 Pi

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@::laughs:: XO: Yeah right Eli. Well the weapons haven't been fired.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::rubs chin::  Self, audible: Last entrie... Ten Days ago... 

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@ALL: In fact this whole thing is eerie. It's like they just walked off or something.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@CSO: Can you get me some sensor and comunications logs?

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
<Computer> CEO: Voice ID Recognized as CEO Ens. J'Loni Mo'Bri

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@Cham: No kidding....   

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::the captain Sneezes::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@XO: I'll do my best sir.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@XO: Maybe there is no evidence here, maybe whatever happened happened in one of the systems they were checking out.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@ALL: Well these logs talk about the planet below so I guess that is our next stop.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::reading a log::  Self: they had found several unique crystal crops they were going to be checking out.....

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@:: begins trying to crack the sensor and communications logs, seems to be somewhat more difficult  than the others::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
:: her station comes to life and she reads all the readouts and smiles::  Self: Ens. Spanner is one of my two best and trusted engineers.  He knows how to run engineering.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Sir God bless you.  Are you coming down with something???

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@Cham: You're right.  OPS: Mr. Norris...  What are the last coordinates on the transporter?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@OPS: And when were they programed in?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Thank you.  No, I don't think so...I think I am still getting rid of that Romulan air in my system...::smiles and continues reading a PADD::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Runs a history scan on operations systems...replicators, holodecks and everyday use of living systems...lights, temperture regulation, etc.::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@XO: Checking

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: Perhaps you should let the Captain know Eli.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Very well sir but you should take care not to over exert yourself.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::stands up::  Cham: I am...  Just hold your horses...  I don't go running to the Captain with incomplete information...

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@::finishes cracking the codes:: XO: Sir you have sensor and communication logs.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@XO: Sir, last transport destination was the base camp.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: Wouldn't want you to forget.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@CSO: Anything on those in the last 10 days?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  No more than I have to Ensign.  But to be honest, when does a captain ever over exert him or herself?  ::smiles again::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@Aloud: Hummmm interesting. ::continues checking the scans::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@XO: Checking sir.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@ XO: No sir, nothing.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@XO: What base camp would that be, Sir?

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: Eli the last transport brought up crystal samples but no log entries were made.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@Cham: Find the samples....   Sounds like the 2nd best place to start.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::taps com badge::  *CO* Irvin to Claymore....

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: That's simple they are stored in a room off the transporter. ::shrugs::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: ::smiling:: Well sir, I guess Captains and Engineering officers do tend to overexert themselves from time to time.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Gets up and walks over to the Claymore Plaque and reads over it then sits backdown::  *XO*  Randolph here Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::smiles at the CEO::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* Well Captain, the only thing that I can tell you is that they just up and vanished about 10 days ago.  That was the last log entry.  All pretty routine stuff.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@::heads off to check the samples::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* Commander Yamara has found some kind of a sample they brought up shortly after the last log entry...  She's going to go check that out now...

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Understood.  How much more time do you need Commander?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* Depending on what Yamara finds, we might be beaming down to the planet with your approval sir.  Could be a while.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@::enters the room and looks over the samples:: Self: Pretty rocks is all I can say. ::picks one up and walks back out to the bridge area::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Wonders where there is a base camp around here::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::her senses are keenly tuned to the emotions of the crew and those of the AT on the surface::

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: Just shiny rocks if you ask me. ::tosses him the sample::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  I will need some type of proof in order to allow you to beam to the surface.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::catches the sample::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::continues to monitor her station::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* There's not much to go on accept some automated beaming orders and some prearanged coordinates, but the thing has been running all this time...   No indication if that is what happend to them.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@:: Picks up a small energy reading from the sample that was tossed::

ACTION: A red light starts flashing on the CEO's console.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@XO: Sir, my scans indicate a small energy reading from that sample.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Can you tell where the coordinates are Mr. Irvin?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* Stand By Captain....  

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
Self: What the blazes..............

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@CSO: What's up Alex?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks over to the CEO::  CEO:  Whats happening Ensign?

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@XO: I'm not sure sir, nothing identifiable, just a burst of energy.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::slowly puts the sample down and turns to the console he is sitting at, trying to erect a force field around the sample::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
*Ens.Spanner*: What is going on???  I show a plasma coolant leak.  We just checked the blasted coolant seams two hours ago. What happened?

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Wonders if more caution should have been used on the rock samples::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@All: Prepare for emergency beam out....

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Sir we have a coolent leak in one of the plasma conduits.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: I think the answer to the mystery lies down there. ::points out the port to the planet below::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::hears the CEO::  CEO:  Can we seal it?

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: It should be repaired momentarily.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Good.

ACTION: The force field goes up.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@Cham: I agree... But we need more proof of where the folks went...  ::watches as the force field appears::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
*Ens. Spanner*: Get on that coolant leak.  We can't afford a seal leak now.  We have an AT on the SS Crystalline and I need to get them off.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: Well all indications are they beamed down there.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* Captain, We don't have any conclusive proof that the planet's surface is where they are... But it is the next logical step.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::waits on reports from the CEO::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
*CEO*: Understook Ma'am.  I will personally take care of it my self.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Then you have my permission to beam to those coordinates.  Stay in contact with the Claymore.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@XO: The coordinates are preprogrammed in. All we have to do is activate the transporters here.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@XO: On the planet...there must be a base camp down there...it was where the transporter last sent some...thing...one...?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* One more thing... I have a sample here that was collected.  ::sends the coordinates::  It just started emitting energy of an unknown type.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* I'd like to have it sent back to the Claymore.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Understood Mr. Irvin.  I will send a Science Team to study it.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: The leak is proving quite stubborn.  It will take a little longer than expected.  I have my best man on it as we speak.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@Cham: Send that sample to the Claymore.....

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@All: Ok Folks... We're going down...  Stand by for transport...

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Understood Mr. Irvin.  We are ready to receive.  CEO:  Keep me posted.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Understood sir.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
@::nods and activates a transporter sending the sample over::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@Cham: Beam us down.
