Summary:

Acting Captain’s Log: Stardate 10401.27: We have made contact with the Cardassian ship Hor’Tal.  Among other things we have discovered that a major shipment of containers were brought aboard.  Not being on manifest it seems that these were possibly linked to that of the sabotage.

Finding that the material was a mesh of numerous metals, we stand   ready to try and crack the mystery behind our attacker.  Along with many other discoveries we run into the Pella Dor System, what does this and all that we have found so far add up to…what theories will be revealed.  We can only hope that answers will surface soon.

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Does a slow jog from the lounge to the shuttlebay::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::pacing in front of the Captain’s chair on the bridge:: CTO: Any sign of other Cardassian ships on the LRS?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::at her station working on finding the answer::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
CIV/OPS: Anything new?
Helm_Officer says:
FCO: We're entering the system sir.
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
FCO: No, Sir.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CSO*: Smoke disper-rsal patter-rn shows the smoke star-rted in the ventilation system.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CSO*: Nominal communcation tr-raffic nothing out of the or-rdinar-ry, Sir-r.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
HELM: Drop us to impulse.  *CSO*: Theron to Taylor, we've entered the Pella Dor system,  no sign of any other Cardassian vessels.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Steps into the cargo bay, and looks at the CSO:: CSO: Nothing, right now, sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*OPS*: Interesting...Any idea how is got there?  And keep me posted on any new findings.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Very well...Keep me posted.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CTO*: Lt. Stay on Yellow Alert for the time being.  Keep me posted if anything changes up there.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::double checks with engineering about the Yellow Alert::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::walks over to the science station and looks over some readings:: *CSO* Alex, the trail leads to the planet Noram . . shall I set a course?
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: My scans of the planet's Doram and Noram to be a bit odd...but i have nothing on my sensors...keep an eye out for anything Lt.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*Ens. Spanner*: Son you are at Alert 2 Condition Yellow??
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Make it so Lt...but lets tread lightly...and keep our eyes open.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::her combadge chirps:: *Medical to Lt. Randolph*: Your presence is requested in sickbay.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: Aye sir.  HELM: Set course for Noram, 1/2 impulse.  OPS: Slave your console with Science 1 and keep an eye on all sensors.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Walks around the container, and checks his PADD.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CSO: Sir, my presence is requested in Sickbay.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
CEO: Go ahead...I'll keep you posted on findings as we get them.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: slaves her console to SCI 1 and begins scans ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::her combadge chirps again::  <Ens. Spanner>*CEO*: Ma'am we have taken an inventory of our equipment and we have found several pieces missing.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: her ears perk at the report of equipment missing ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
::Continues to scan the materials and the area...standing in cargo bay trying to make some sense out of the pieces to the puzzle::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*Ens. Spanner*: Missing what son????  You mean to tell me that we have missing equipment????
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS: Are you picking up an energy signatures on the planet? Anything that might indicate a base or settlement?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: continues scans ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: I've set a course and we're watching the sensors, any luck down there?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
<Ens. Spanner> *CEO*: Several of the engineers here are missing hypospanners, scanners, and other such equipment.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: Sir-r, sensor-rs do not show anything on the sur-rface.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: None at the moment...still trying to keep an open mind...maybe these pieces will come together and answer our questions.

Scenery:  As Doram and then Noram come into view, the site of the pocked marked worlds show that many of those pocks are huge.

FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: Hopefully, permission to send a class 1 sensor probe to the other planet, Doram?
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CSO: Commander.  I would like to examine the explosive areas to have an idea on what kind of explosive we are talking about.

Action:  Sensors pick up a brief surge of energy that is quickly gone.  Like a door opening, then closing.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*Ens. Spanner*: Son make a list of all equipment that is missing and relay it to the CSO and OPS.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
CIV: Good idea...run some tests and keep me posted.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::eyes the planets on the view screen:: OPS: Those are some big holes, Lt.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Nods:: CSO: Aye.  ::Heads out::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: pulls a detailed scan of one of the craters ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
HELM: Standard orbit around Noram crewman.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Scan the area first...then send the probe Cmdr.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Reads the PADD and heads to the TL::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: Sir-r, hematite is pr-resent, suggesting water-r was once he-re, sedimentar-ry r-rock, limestone..
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CSO: Sir I have gotten several reports about missing tools and equipment.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: notes reports coming in from engineering and other areas about missing equipment and requests for replacement ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: Very good sir. CTO: Rig a class 1 sensor probe and prepare to launch it for the other planet. OPS: Gimme a scan of Doram please.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CEO*:  Get me a report about the objects missing Lt. Also, do you think that these tools might have been used by our saboteur?
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
::prepares the probe::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Heads to the Deck 8, and checks his tricorder::
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
::launches it at the planet::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS: Can you explain why there is no water now?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*CSO*: Sir it is possible, but highly unlikely.  I will have them check.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*CSO*: You should be getting the reports from Ens. Spanner shortly.  I am proceeding to sickbay. Randolph, out.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: accesses lateral array and pulls a planetary scan of Doram ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CEO*: Thank you Lt. Just keep me posted on any new information.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Slides his tricorder in the holster, and pulls out a wall panel::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*CSO*: Understood Commander
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: Dor-ram is essentially the same planet, similar-r r-rock and miner-ral deposits.

ACTION: A Class one probe enters orbit around Doram.

FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS: Can your scans penetrate the surface?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::continues to sickbay and enters the TL::  Computer: Sickbay Express.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::moves over to science 2 and attempts to see if the ion trail leads down to the surface itself, to suggest a possible landing zone::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
::gets report in the cargo bay and reads over it...sees that they are only electronic things...insignificant..but still keeps them on the mind of possibilities::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::her mind suddenly begins its random turmoil once again and she has to close her eyes and concentrate on her control and regains it quickly::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Pulls out his tricorder and scans the inside:: *CSO*: I have found a location of an explosive.  It was placed inside a wall panel on deck 8 section 23.
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
FCO: I could barely register the blip sir all i could recognize was it is energy and it is coming from Doram.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: Sir-r, some kind of catastr-rophic event precipitated the condition of the planet, somewher-re around thr-ree hundr-red year-rs ago.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Looks at the tricorder, and looks up and thinks::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: I have evidence of r-radioactive decay in the planet's sur-rface.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CIV*: Interesting major, Please get a team to make a sweep of the ship and locate any other explosives on board.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::turbolift stops on deck 12 and she runs to sick bay and enters it::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
All: Ok what is wrong???
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::gets his confirmation:: *CSO*: Commander, the ion trail leads directly down to the surface, even though our scans aren’t picking anything up, that could be some sort of landing zone.  There was also a small momentary energy blip that we aren’t getting anymore.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CIV*: I also want you to make sure they are not active..and if so find some way to deactivate them.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: Chaser also is picking up radioactive decay in the surface.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS/CTO: Acknowledged.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
*CSO*: Aye Commander.  I will pull the sentry marines at your location to search deck 8 and downwards.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
FCO: Did you get any scans of the blip?
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: It was literally less than a second, barely enough time for the sensors to pick up its presence.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: switches to ventral sensors and pulls as tight a scan as she can of the surface ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Also give me any thing you have on how radioactive the surface is...we might need to send a team down to investigate.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS: How dangerous is the radiation, Lt.? On the surface?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: Suggest  we switch to a polar-r or-rbit for a complete scan of the planet.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS: Good Idea.  HELM: Move us to a high polar orbit.
MO_T says:
::Looks up as the CEO enters::  CEO:  Ahhh... Lt.  Please, join me.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::sees the doctors around biobed 1 and she runs to it and sees Patrick laying there::  Self: Oh no please!!
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
MO: What is wrong with him?????
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::keeping a handle on her wildly fluctuating emotions::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CIV*: Good...keep me informed of how many you find.
MO_T’ralk says:
CEO:  He has been poisoned.  Can you tell me what he ate last and where?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: R-radiation levels are nominal Sir-r, ther-re is no atmospher-re to speak of however-r.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: That planet is safe but there is no atmosphere, we'll have to wear suits if your thinking what I'm thinking.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS: Continue scans.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::looks incredulously at the Medical Technician::  MO: Poisoned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: her tails undulates behind her as she looks for ice at the planet's poles ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Yes...to both.  We need to set up an away team to head to the planet and see what's going on down there.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
MO: I gave him breakfast this morning.  It was nothing unusual.  I fixed eggs and sausage earth style with toast and coffee.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::whispers:: *CSO*: You know your not going right?
MO_T`ralk says:
::Nods his head::  CEO:  We are not sure exactly what it is.  It is not in our databank.  Right now he is unconscious, but stable.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: is disappointed she finds no ice, and starts looking for the largest concentration of limestone deposits for study ::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Looks at the explosive and chuckles:: *CSO*: Commander this explosive that I have has most of the components but it is very outdated. This one here has a makes shift detonator. ::Removes it with a precision::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Yes..I fully understand.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: Permission to prepare a team then?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: Suggest the team head to these coor-rdinates, limestone is pr-resent in gr-reat quantities.
MO_T`ralk says:
CEO:  Did he eat anything elsewhere?  Perhaps his ready room.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*:Yes, go ahead...run all the team by me before departure.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: See, her-re deep in the cr-rater-r.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CIV*:  That all seems quite strange...any idea how they got on the ship?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
::points to the spot on her console ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: Understood.  OPS: Send the coordinates to the TR.  CTO: Blade, your with me.  *CIV*: Major can you spare a few men for an away mission?
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
FCO: Yes, Sir.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
::uploads coordinates to the transporter room with a nod ::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Pulls out the explosive and watches it fall apart in his hands::  *CSO*: Probably placed here by the saboteur.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
::learns from a text from the MO that the CO has been poisoned..So many questions and many more puzzle pieces.. I only hope he will be alright::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
*FCO*: I only have 4 Marines. 2 of them are posted in Engineering, and 2 of them are scanning the ship for explosives.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CIV*:  Do a scan of the explosives...could they possibly be the same type of material that we found?  Also give me a possible range of time that the devices have been on the ship.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
::ponders as she scans :: FCO: Wait.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS: Lieutenant?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
ALL: I will find the person responsible for this.  ::turns to leave when her head spins with emotions::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: I am getting something on the deep scan, coming thr-rough now.
MO_T`ralk says:
::Calls out::  CEO:  Might I suggest you go to his ready room and check the room out.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::grabs head in pain::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::steps towards the OPS console: OPS: What is it
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: Ther-re appear-rs to be a monumental oceanic plain.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Mumbles:: *CSO*: Commander, we might need something to pick up the pieces it just fell apart in my hands.  I have a feeling this is how all the explosives are.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::the pain is to much to bear and she falls to her knees::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: Seems to be a mountain  r-range, and ion tr-rail.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
OPS: Thank you LT that’s where I intent to start, it might be a landing zone.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
FCO: It appear-rs the ion tr-rail disappear-rs into the mountain r-range Sir-r.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CIV*: Get a scan of them...see if you get anything while they are still whole.  And then get something to put them in and run a few scans...keep me posted.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CIV* Understood.  *CSO*: Commander, I can only take myself and Lt. Blade . . we'll take rifles and a transport enhancer. Chaser has given us the coordinatess to where the ion trail leads, that’s where we'll start.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: I am going to take one of your science officers and another TO as well.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Sounds like a great time...be careful and watch for anything Commander.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
*FCO*: If you want I can ask Commander Taylor and see if I can head down myself. *CSO*: Aye.
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
::nods to TO Valeheart::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Keep me posted on your progress.
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
<TO Valeheart>:: walks up to tac 1 his second week on the job::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged.  *CIV*: Not necessary but thank you, Major.  OPS: You have the bridge LT have the TR ready 4 EVA suits and the coordinates to those mountains ready.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CTO/SO/TO: Lets go gentleman. ::moves for the lift::
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
::follows the FCO::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::head is pounding and room is spinning from her emotions::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: blinks a moment, she hasn't had command in a very long time, her tail sways happily ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::enters lift with Blade and group:: Computer: Deck 6.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Holds the explosive and puts it in the container, takes a quick scan of the  explosive::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CIV*: I'm heading to the bridge.  Keep me posted.
MO_T`ralk says:
::Walks over to the chief engineer and gently puts a hand on her shoulder::  CEO: You will do him no good like this.  Please, help me find out what is in his system.  Check out his ready room.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: stands and takes the center seat, her feet not hitting the floor slaving SCI and OPS to the command chair  ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::exits the lift and enters TR:: AT: Lets get these on.  ::picks up and starts to ready EVA suit::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
MO: Can't control........emotions........horrible rage..........urge to kill...........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
::picks up his PADD and heads to the TL::  Computer: Computer...Bridge.  ::the TL moves up taking me slowly to the bridge::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::passes out::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
*CSO*: Aye, sir.  Sir, I have a preliminary scan complete.  It is a awful explosive if I can say so, sir.  It is made up of a lot of different materials.
MO_T`ralk says:
::Looks down oddly at the CEO::  CEO:  Lieutenant?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: continues scans ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CTO: I don’t like these things.  ::attaches the helmet::
MO_T`ralk says:
::Shakes his head and bends down to pick her up.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
::exits onto the bridge::  *CIV*:  Send me a report...can any of these be connected with that of the materials we found?
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
FCO: Really, sir I quite enjoy them.
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
::attaches his helmet::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
AT/CTO: We ready?
MO_T`ralk says:
*CSO*:  Captain, the CEO is currently unconscious.  I am hoping she was not poisoned too.  Perhaps you could send an engineer to the captain ready room and quarters to see if there was anything they might have ingested with poison.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: stands slowly to her feet, looking at the chronometer ::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
*CSO*: Possibly. I won't be sure until I do a detail scan of it.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
OPS: Any new information?
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: We are preparing to leave, our team of 4 is suited and ready, preparing to beam down to the coordinates the ion trail leads to.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*CIV*: Very well...get some detail scans in and see what you can find.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Excellent Cmdr.  Good luck and be careful down there.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: shakes her head no and upload everything to a PADD for the CSO, releasing control of science and operations, and head back to her station without a word ::
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
FCO: Yes, Sir.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
*CSO*: Aye. ::Takes the container back to the science lab::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Keep me posted with your finds.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CSO*: We will and make sure I have a helm to come to Alex.  ::looks at team:: AT: Lets head out.  ::steps on the TR pad::

ACTION:  The AT beams down to the desolate planet.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: locks on transporters to the AT for emergency beam out ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Aye.
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
::looks around::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::slowly begins to stir::  All:  Ahh...   oh my head....::opens eyes::  Where am I??  ::looks around and sees her husband on the next bio bed::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: monitors transporters function, VSS and bio suit function ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
MO: What happened?
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
@::looks around the desolate dark place and pulls out tricorder with one hand, the other holding his rifle:: SO: Lets begin scans . . I want to find whatever is down here.  CTO: Have our backs but stay close, I don’t want to lose anyone down here.
MO_T`ralk says:
CEO:  You are in sickbay.  Just lay still for a bit while I check you out.
CTO_LTjg_Blade says:
FCO: Yes , Sir.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Takes a piece out for analysis:: Self: And they call this an explosive?  ::Chuckles::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
MO: I what????  No way.  Not possible. Oh wait........No it can't be..........not the beginning of Pon Farr?  No not now please.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
::Sits down in CO chair on the bridge and pans around the room seeing the OPS and TO...reads the PADD of the doctors report::
MO_T`ralk says:
CEO:  Pon Farr... hmmm... I will let you know soon enough.
CSO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
OPS: Thank you for the PADD Lt..keep an eye on the scans.
MO_T`ralk says:
Scenery:  As the AT arrives, they stare up and up at the huge mountain range before them and the sky even further away.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::lays back:: MO: This is not something we talk about you know.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: maintains lock on AT ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::begins to walk into the mountains:: AT/CTO: Here we go.
