<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Something has just launched from the planet's surface and it is heading for the USS Halas.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
aCTO: Time to impact?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO:  Shall I start evasive maneuvers Commander?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::At the Operations console, his lack of trust in this ship quickly dissipating as its destruction seems to loom::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Turning off alarms with one hand while punching in commands at the tactical console with the other, tracking the incoming object:: ACO: I'm working on it, ma'am.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
aCTO: Take us to red alert.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Aye.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
aCTO: Lock phasers on target but do not fire.  Also, try to get a tractor beam lock on the incoming missile.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Scans the object as well, trying to ascertain what exactly it is and what its capabilities might be::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Scan it and see if you can detect the impact it will have on the ship.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Finishes analyzing the telemetry::  aCO: The only thing I can tell you for certain is that thing was launched by an advanced chemical propulsion system near that large community on the southern continent.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Begins entering evasive maneuvers.::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Brings up the alert status menu and activates red alert, setting off a whole new set of alarms before looking back at the display::  ACO: Less than thirty seconds ma'am, its closing fast. I'm not sure I can get a proper lock for either in that time.  But I'll try. ::tries to compensate for the movement of the ship while running the targeting system.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Begins evasive maneuvers.:: ACO: Shall I take us out of orbit?
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
ACO: Adjusting shields to the impact side. 15 seconds...
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Break orbit and plot a direct course to the star.  Full impulse.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
aCTO: Acknowledged.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The object suddenly changes course and begins to slow.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Aye breaking orbit.  ::Enters the new coordinates and engages full impulse heading to the systems sun.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: Object changing course... slowing...
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Frowns at incoming readings::  aCO: Scanners are somewhat ineffective due to massive amounts of radiation, but the object appears to have a solid casing.
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
ACO: Ten se... what? ::looks at the targeting computer in disbelief:: I can confirm Lieutenant Senn's readings. It slowed down.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Delay that order Lieutenant.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Disengages impulse and looks for a new orbit.::  ACO:  Aye Commander.  Setting new orbit.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
All: Hypothesis?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: Trajectory heading for a polar orbit.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Is it heading for our previous orbit around the planet Lieutenant?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO:  Possibility they are trying to scare us off?
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
ACO: Shall I stand down red alert, Captain?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: No.
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Shifting the shields back to standard configuration::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
aCTO: Take us back to yellow alert Lieutenant.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Could we have found an opening in their shield systems and their trying to compensate for it.  By placing something in a new orbit?
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
ACO: Yellow Alert, aye. ::stands down to yellow alert and resumes his scans, looking more carefully now for signs of weaponry.  His previous dismissive assessment sticking in his craw::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: Shield system?
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The object breaks into three pieces, two of which fall back into the atmosphere and burn up.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: They have some kind of defensive systems that are blocking our scans of them.  Could this be some type of technology that their launching that's blocking our sensors from getting accurate readings from the surface.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: The object is breaking up... hmmm... this reminds me of the old rocketry systems.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Send all data we have on these people to sickbay.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
aCTO/CNS:  Lieutenants report to sickbay and prepare for an away team.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods, sending the data while looking into the previous question.::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Relieves himself and turns his station over to a subordinate:: ACO: May I ask what we're going to look for?
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
aCTO: I want to see what's on that southern hemisphere.  I want to get you both as close to that launch site as possible.  I want upfront recon data and then bring you back to the ship.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Stands up from the helm and looks back at the aCTO.::  ACO: Aye Commander.  ::Shakes his head not looking forward to this at all.::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
ACO: Yes ma'am. ::glances at the Ferengi:: CNS: Counselor. ::heads toward the lift::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
aCTO/CNS: Keep in mind as little contact as possible with the inhabitants.
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
ACO: Understood. ::as the doors to the lift close and take him down to Sickbay::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Hold that order Lieutenant I think it would be more effective if we send Lieutenant Senn down with Lieutenant Curtis.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Stops at the turbo lift and turns back.::  ACO:  Of course Commander a wise decision.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns around with a look of distaste on her face.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Meet Lieutenant Curtis in sickbay and take what you need Lieutenant.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Takes his spot back at the helm.::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Exits the lift several decks below, wondering what's keeping Renor as he heads into Sickbay, apparently finding the doctor already briefed::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Sighs in resignation::  aCO: Aye ma'am.  Before I head down, the only area that seems to be blocked to me, is the tech around the launch area.  But without a baseline to work with... ::Shrugs as she stands and moves toward the lift.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<Doctor_Smith>:  Welcome Lt.  I was told to get you ready for the surface.  This should not take long.
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Lets a little nervousness show for the first time:: Smith: You can put everything back, right?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns to stare at the door as it closes before her.:: CPU: Medical.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
OPS: Continue working on scans and get ready to monitor the away teams progress.  I want a constant transporter lock on them at all times.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
aCO: Yes ma'am.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<Doctor_Smith>:  Yes I think we can get you back to your former self.  ::Points to the chair.::  Please take a seat.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off and moves toward the double glass doors and stepping through them.::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Looks Smith over critically for a few moments before moving to the chair and sitting down, finding that it reclines uncomfortably::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<Doctor_Smith>::Gets some tools and a hypo off the tray next to the chair.::  aCTO: This might sting a bit Lieutenant.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Sends a message through the computer to the Transporter Room requesting a lock on the Away Team; he also patches through LCARS to access transporter control himself::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::frowning:: Smith: Why do you people always *say* that?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<Doctor_Smith>: aCTO: So how are things going up on the bridge?  ::Begins the procedure and continues the small talk through the entire process.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Moves over to watch Dr. Smith::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Makes sure a lock is established with the comm badges of each team member::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<Doctor_Smith>:: Looking over to Lt Senn as he works.::  CSO:  I'll be with you in a moment Lieutenant.  I'm just reconstructing Lt Curtis's hands.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
Smith: When you put us back, can I have my ears pixed?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Frowns and turns focus back to scans::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Taciturn, trying to ignore the pinching and burning sensations::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
OPS: Have you been able to pick up any incoming or outgoing communications from the satellite?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<Doctor_Smith>: CSO: I will have to put you back exactly as you are not Lieutenant. ::Looks back at Lt Curtis.:: aCTO:  Hmmm interesting, but I think you are ready to go.  The clothes are over in the corner Lieutenant.  ::Points to the other end of sickbay.::  CSO: You’re next.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
Smith:  Why?
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Climbs out of the chair, heading toward the clothes, avoiding looking at mirrors on the way::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<Doctor_Smith>: CSO: Because I'm not authorized to make any corrections Lieutenant.  Please take a seat.   ::Pats the chair.::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Strips off his uniform behind the curtain, knotting the faux finger in the pieces a few times before perfecting keeping it out of the way::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Double-checks read out::  aCO: Nothing so far - I'm extending the sensor sweep right now.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Readjusts sensors to focus on more minute changes electromagnetic radiations, as well as any subspace anomalies the normal sensor package might not readily pick-up::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
::Sits in the chair::  Smith: But you are already making changes, so...
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<Doctor_Smith>:  CSO:  This should not take long now that I've done it once.  ::Begins making the alterations to the science officer before something bad happens.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Scans comm systems on the satellite to determine their status as well::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Finishes dressing and moves out to the waiting room to wait on Senn, trying not to pick at the new additions::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
::Sitting very still, humor in her eyes::  Smith: I still want my ears pixed.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
OPS: Are we still running the jamming frequency Commander Hayward had in place?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Accesses LCARS and requests for any communications or anti-communications the Halas is dispatching at the moment::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<Doctor_Smith> ::Works really fast and completes the work in record time saving himself from a fate worse than death.::  CSO: Okay Lieutenant you’re finished.  Your change of clothes is back there.  Engineering has sent a modified tricorder that looks like a basic piece of technology.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::The console bleeps at him, revealing the familiar program::  aCO: Yes ma'am, we are.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
::Nods as she stands, reaching up to finger the changes as she moves toward the screen.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
::Quickly changes, missing her sister.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<Doctor_Smith>: ALL:  Good luck Lieutenants.  ::Returns to his normal duties in sickbay.::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Fixing his clothes:: Smith: Thank you, Doctor. ::looks at Senn:: CSO: Are you ready?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Coming out, straps the tricorder onto her wrist like a bracelet::  aCTO: I don't know... I don't think this look will be the new style. ::exits medical for the nearest lift.::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::impatiently:: CSO: We don't have to like it, Lieutenant. We just have to do our jobs. ::steps out of the lift on the other end and heads for the transporter room::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
OPS: Continue running the interference for the time being.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks at the man she is supposed to be working with and sighs as they step through the doors and onto the transporter.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods::  aCO: Aye ma'am.  ::double-checks console to make sure the jam is still running; he's still getting used to multi-tasking at this rate again, as he's been away from OPS for several months::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*CSO/aCTO*: Ready to beam to the surface?
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
:: Steps up on the transport platform:: *ACO*: We're ready ma'am.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:. Double checks the tricorder and nods::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
OPS: Send them just outside the main city.  Do a prescan for any activity.  We want to shoot for a place as barren as possible.  But, also not have our people run to get to where they need to go.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<OPS>: ACO: Aye Commander.
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Flexes his fingers, seeing the sixth bend strangely with it:: Self: No more away teams for me....
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<OPS>:  ::Begins transporter sequence.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Watches:: aCTO: six fingers would be great for playing the piano.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The away team beams down to an area lush with foliage and sounds of wild animals can be heard.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks around.  Seeing no one beyond sounds, does a quick scan of the area.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<OPS>: ACO: Commander I'm showing our team on the planet surface about 3 km from the center.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The foliage has an almost overwhelming sickly sweet scent to it.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
OPS: Very good Lieutenant.  Keep a close lock on them if there are signs of trouble beam them back immediately.
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::Resists reaching for the tricorder hidden inside the wraps of his clothes:: CSO: Anything?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Wrinkles her nose::  aCTO: Nothing of worth beyond science data.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
<OPS>: ACO: Aye Commander. ::Monitors the AT and continues to keep a transporter lock on them.::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ CSO: Then we should head in. The sooner we find out what's going on here. The sooner we get back to the ship. ::without asking, starts toward the city itself::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ aCTO: We are 3km from the edge of the community.  :: continues her scan of the flora and fauna of a forest type environment.::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::Looks back a little as she catches up:: CSO: Lets hope nobody wonders why two people came walking out of the middle of nowhere.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ aCTO: Oh... I don't know. Your a boy, I am a girl... ::winks::
aCTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::tries not to smile, though he wants to:: CSO: I noticed.
