SD 10309.02 Crystal Ball Part 2

With part of the crew on the Crystalline trying to find out what happened to her crew the remaining crew is busy on the Claymore keeping a close eye on things.

The Crystalline was found intact and no signs of anything out of the ordinary happening yet none of the crew have been on the ship in ten days.

Where is the crew of the Crystalline?

What mystery is there around the crew?

What will the crew of the Claymore find?

@::rolls her eyes:: OPS/FCO: You men are all alike all you think about is your stomach. ::laughs::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* We have arrived safely at the base camp.  No one's here.  Commander Yamara is securing the area and Mr. Norris and Mr. Theron have begun scanning for the scientists.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Anything unusual to report?

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@OPS: Um I dont actually, nor much else about you.  ::glances at Yamara with a 'what are you talking about look'::

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@XO: I'm not getting anything on those codes Commander.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@FCO: I'm not reading any life signs. How about you? I think I'll do a little tweek job on this tricorder...see if I can widen the range.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@FCO: Keep at it Kayle.  Broden your scan range to include upper EM bands as well.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
<Ens.Spanner>:*CEO*: Ma'am, it shouldn't be much longer.  I have to replace this seal and reseal another before I can get you warp back.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::walks over to the largest tent and peeks inside::

CIV_Maj_McClure says:

<@>

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::taps com badge::  *CSO* Irvin to Taylor...  I'm in the large tent...   Come over here will ya...

SETTING: The small computer is just a log computer.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@XO: Yes sir, on my way.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
<Ens. Spanner> *CEO*: No ma'am you don't need to tell me the story again, I understand you clearly.  ::laughing with his CEO::

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::walks off alone with his tricorder and begins to walk around the outer perimeter of the camp::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@::walks over to the large tent to talk with the XO:

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::motions for him to come inside::  CSO: Alex...   What do make of the samples in here?  Anything unusual?

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CTO: We haven't met, I just transfered from the Starbase.  You?

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Sees the XO and CSO Here as well::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@XO:Not sure sir, let me get a few readings.

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
Civ:nice to meet i was transfered from starbase as well.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@::beings a scan of the crystals::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Checking tricorder readings and is a bit puzzled by them::

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::begins to try to scan a few kilometers out from the camp, underground as well, to see if anything might be under the desert sands::

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CIV: how long have you been on the Claymore if i may ask.

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CTO: For a few weeks.

ACTION: As the XO scans through the logs he nears the last one ten days ago.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::checking her console again to see if her engineer has finished his job::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@XO: Sir, they are just normal crystals, nothing unusual.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@CSO: Here we go...  10 days again....  

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Sits in his chair::

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CTO: You?

@::Hears the log the XO activated::

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CIV:so what do you think happend to the crew of that ship out there.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@XO:It seems 10 days are significant.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::begins reading the last log::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::is aware of the Captains frustrations and the crews urgentness to find the crew of the Crystaline and solve the puzzle::

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CTO: Donno.

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CIV: you think they could have just vanished in thin air.

<Arrington> Chief Scientists Log...Alpha team never reported back in. Beta team and myself are going in search of them. We can only hope that they are found safe and sound.

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CTO: People can't vanish into thin air.

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
ACTION: The FCO starts sinking in the soft sand.

SETTING: There are all sorts of maps laying about the tent but none specifiy where either team was working.

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CTO: Maybe hiding somewhere.

ACTION: The more the FCO struggles the more he sinks.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::walks out of the tent and looks around more...  THinking::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@::exits the large tent, looking around and continuing to scan the other tents::

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CIV:you think something down there got them.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@*ALL*: I am out side the camp and I am sinking into the sand . . . I could use some assistance.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Begins a closer examination of the large tent leaving no atom unturned::

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CTO: Donno...

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
*Ens. Spanner*: Son please give me some good news.

ACTION: The CSO picks up a brief scan of the same crystals as was on the ship and walks off following the reading.

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CTO: It could be a possiblity.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::jogs around to the otherside of the tent and spots the FCO::  All: Norris!  Taylor! Cham!

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
@:: Picks up a brief scan of the same crystals and walks off trying to get some readings::

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::waist deep, tried pushing the ground to get out::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:

Host LtCmdr_Yamara says:
<Krait> #CSO: You will in time. Soon your memories will join with all the others and you will live in harmony with us.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* Yes sir...  I'm standing on it.  ::looking off into the distance::

ACTION: All the scans just come back with varying energy readings from different crystal formations.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::walks over to the Captain's chair and whispers in his ear:: CO: Something is very wrong on the planets surface.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::starts to scan::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: What has happened I can not be clear on it.  All I sense is that something is very wrong.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Readings are irratic and diverse....::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Have the AT split up into teams of two to search for him.  If you don't find anything, I will send down search teams.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Agreed

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  We will do what we can from up here.

#::Looks over to the other floating masses, and tries to talk to them::

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CO:with your permission i would like to lonch a probe that would dig into the planet surface to find out what happened.

ACTION: In his "thoughts" the CSO can hear the conversations of many other beings.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#Crystalline Crew: Are you all ok?  My name is Lt. Taylor of the Uss Claymore.  ::begins hearing the conversations of other beings::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Permission granted.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::recives the information and scans for boot residue on the ground::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::walks over to the Science station and begins aiding in scans::

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
::fires a probe straight into the planets surface::

Host Krait says:
#<Arrington> CSO: Yes we are well but you need to find a way out before it's too late.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@OPS: Trust me.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::walks out of the tent and thats a breath and walks around::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#Arrington: Before I become one?  Is there no way out of this form?

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@XO: Yes, Sir, always.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::starts to randomly scan the different chrystals around to see their composition::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Understood sir. I am one step ahead of you.  I am not happy with not being able to use my abilities to help you.  I am going to bring three more auxilary reactors on line and tie them into the sensor girds to boost the confinement beam and broaden it to scan into the E band emmisions to see if I can pick up a stray energy reading.

Host Krait says:
#<Arrington> CSO: For us no we have been here too long, perhaps for you there is a chance if you can communicate and there are others on the outside to help.

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CO:probe is away.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
ALL:  I am open to suggestions at this point.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#Arrington: There are some outside to help, But I can't just leave you all here, without trying to help.

ACTION: As the probe enters the planet it causes a mild earthquake rocking everything close by.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::continues to walk around the camp, bent over tricorder out scanning the crystals::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::picks up a whole bunch of boot residue around from everyone, but finds one lot of residue heading north west::  ALL: THERON... CHAM....   

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::shakes a bit and falls to knees since was bent over, then stands back up::

Host Krait says:
#<Arrington> CSO: There is no hope for us it is too late.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Feels the ground shake:: ALL: What the...

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::turns:: XO: Commander?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::points off in the direction he went in and taps his com badge::  *CO* Irvin to Claymore... I think I have him....   

Host Krait says:
#ALL: Ground quakes! They are trying to kill us!

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO: What abilities are you referring to Ms. Mo'Bri?

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CO:the probe has hot the planet and waiting for the to send something back.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@All: Phasers on stun....  

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::begins walking north west::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#Arrington: How do I communicate with the outside world?

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::sets phaser and starts to walk towards the XO and north west::

ACTION: The readouts coming back to the ship show the earthquake caused by the probe entering the ground.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Claymore here, can you tell if he is alive or not?

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Follows XO with phaser on stun::

Host Krait says:
#<Arrington> CSO: I don't know son, I don't know.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@*CO* I don't have a lock on him personally...  But we know what direction he went in.  There is standard Starfleet issue boot residue leading away from the camp in a northwesterly direction.  

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: I have only one thing that comes to mind.  I believe that there is something about those crystals that we are overlooking sir.

Host Krait says:
#CSO: The outside world doesn't wish to communicate with us and now it seems your kind is trying to destroy us!

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#Arrington: Thank you for the help, and my heart will be with you all.  I will do what I can to get out, no matter what it takes.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@XO: The residue could be from the scientists too.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#Krait: Let me free and I will tell them to stop.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@FCO: Fraid not Kayle... I'll explain later...

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CO:sir i think we should lock on the away team and if any thing goes wrong to beam to back here.

Host Krait says:
#CSO: Free? You are free here. No one is holding you. ::pulses in odd colors::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#Krait: Even just communicate with them, I could get them to stop this attack.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Keep me posted Commander.  We are going to look closer at the crystals.  CEO:  Lets take a closer look at them shall we?

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@XO: Um ok sir.

Host Krait says:
#CSO: You are free to try but the outsiders don't want to communicate. They have always ignored us until we pull them in with us.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Lock onto them Mr. Harris.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Self: He doesn't know about my abilities.  ::whispers to the captain:: CO: Sir I thought you were aware of my mental capabilities.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#Krait: How do I communicate to them?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::still walking::  @FCO: Our boots are special issue remember?  That is an identification tactic used by Starfleet Intellegence.  

Host Krait says:
#CSO: We have tried talking to them but they seem to ignore us.

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
::locks on to the away team::

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CO: we have a lock on the awat team.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  I am.  Do you have anything?

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@XO: Ahh.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Yes sir I am going to run an enhanced scan of the readings that the CSO had before he disapeared.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::closes mouth and keeps walking, feeling pretty stupid and useless::

ACTION: As the AT nears the area of the crystals where the CSO disappeared they feel an odd tingling over their skin and hear a strange sing song buzzing.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#::Feels growing stress hit him, not knowing how to communicate to the others::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::stops::  All: Stop......

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::rolls shoulders and shakes ear:: ALL: What the hell is that.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@::Looks to the FCO and gives an "I'm confused too-look::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::holds a hand out::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Anything in their vacinity?  CEO:  How long will it take to complete?

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@SELF: Huh? What...

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CO:nothing sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::looks to Cham::  Cham: Relay all tricorder readings DIRECTLY to the science station on the ship.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@Cham: Realtime.....

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: Sir as I stated, there is something going on with the planet and I am quite sure it has to do with the crystals they have found.  I can sense their emotions but not as clear as I am usually able to.  Something else is there.  What, I can't say for sure.

Host Krait says:
@<Cham> XO: Aye. ::does as asked::

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@XO: Uhhhh! Sir, I felt strangely just then.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::hands her, her tricorder back::

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: The scans will take about 15 minutes.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@OPS: So did I Ensign...   

ACTION: The OPS officer seems a bit too close and suddenly a plasma beam shoots out just barely missing him.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@XO: Like my whole body was asleep including my ears...a rining...did you hear it?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::sees::  All: CRAP!  FALL BACK!

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Can you feel where these things are?

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::jumps forward to knock the OPS back::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::takes Cham's tricorder after she sets it, and chucks it towards the fomation onto the ground with it on full range scan::

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#Krait: Tell me more about this place, I want to know everything.  ::prays that he may find out something about this place::

ACTION: Sudden static can be heard and felt in the air around the team.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@Sees a beam of light and dodges from it landing in the sand.:: SELF: Hey, something fired at me.

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Reaches the Barracks and grabs his Uniform off the rack and nods at two other officers.::

ACTION: On the Claymore the scans pick up the rapid plasma burst and then nothing more.

OPS_Ens_Norris says:
@FCO: Thanks...

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::taps com badge::  *CO* Irvin to Claymore...  We've been fired upon.... 

Host Krait says:
#CSO: What is to tell this is our home, our world.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
@::hits the ground and shakes hit head at hitting it hard, starts to get up::

CTO_Ens_Harris says:
CO:sir the scanners just picked up a plasma bust.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Notices the tricorder information at the science station and then notices the plasma burst::  *XO*  Is everything alright commander?

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Mo`Bri says:
CO: ::nearly shouting:: Sir, there was a momentary plasma burst and just disappeared just as fast as it appeared.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
#Krait: I just want to know more.

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
*CO*: We ready Captain.
