Last time on the Seleya:

The Captain and Rose had gone through the two crates, filled with various artifacts the Magma Romans had turned over to Starfleet.  Most were unfamiliar to the two ladies though some of them were similar to those found from the crashed ship remains they had beamed aboard off the asteroid.  A few of Rose's trusted officer have begun cataloging and working on what exactly they are with orders to keep it to themselves for now.

Below the USS Seleya the planet swirls with storms lit up frequently by flashes of lightening.  The command officers have finished their discussion of the Away mission and along with the visiting scientists, now board one of two shuttles heading down to the planet, one which will include the captain; the transporters are not a safe method of transportation with the storms interferences.

Captain's log, Stardate 10909.13. We are about to leave for Edan. We are taking two type-8 shuttles, the Cavanal and the Avas. I decided to join the away team and fortunately Stradiot is fit for duty again.

<<<<<<<<<< Lost Dreams III >>>>>>>>>>

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Sits in his chair on the bridge::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::already in the Avas, doing a flight check::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: Walks back onto the bridge, to pause::  XO:  Sir, I did not realize medical had released you.  :: smiles teasingly::  I hear they are naming one of the beds after you.
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::doing the pre=flight checks in the Cavanal in the absence of the FCO::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::walks into the shuttle she is assigned to::
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::chuckles:: SO: Once a doctor, always a doctor.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
XO: Yea, but ye are not supposed to be using them.  Lots of stress?
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::Hands over the flight controls to Frank as he arrives and checks to make sure everyone's ready to go::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
CEO: All ready, Chief?
CEO Lt Trigger says:
OPS: Looks like it, you got the scientists strapped in ok?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his PADD:: CO: Looks like everything checks fine, Captain. ::Turns around to face the shuttle's controls:: Activating the core. ::Does so::
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods slightly:: SO: Just some family issues...::Smiles slightly:: When next we get some R&R, my daughter will be joining me.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
CEO: Yep. Edon is addicted to eating, so I pointed out the replicator.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods to the CIV then opens a channel to the bridge and the other shuttle:: COM: Cavanal, Bridge: Avas is set and all heads accounted for
CEO Lt Trigger says:
OPS: That should keep him quiet for a while. ::checks on the engineers:: Looks like we're good to go.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::nods:: CEO: Need my assistance in any way, just call. Otherwise I'm going to take a seat.
CEO Lt Trigger says:
COM: Avas, Bridge: Acknowledged Avas, Cavanal is all set.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
XO:  That will be nice.  For now, well, I guess there goes my plans for taking the ship out for a spin while those on the planet have fun below.  :: Takes her seat at science.::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Watches the power readout change as the core begins to divert power to all the necessary systems:: CO: Navigational thrusters are standing by.
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Chuckles and just smiles::
Opaka Edon says:
:: hearing leans forward::  OPS:  Think of it this way... should we find ourselves short in that area, I am good!  :: smiles as he pats his slightly rounded tummy, very fit for one who enjoys his food::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::lets out a laugh:: Edon: You eat that much for survival? Blubber?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
XO:  No changes in the storms on the surface.  Readings still remain sketch in general.  I would make a guess that anything that was above surface has long since returned to its origins with all the time and scouring.
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods:: SO: Keep me updated.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Cavanal, Bridge: Away team requesting permission to depart. Canaval, you lead the way and we will follow
Opaka Edon says:
:: taps his head:: OPS:  Wise man my father and I am... of course none could compare to my mother as a cook.  :: gives an exaggerated heavy sigh.::
CEO Lt Trigger says:
COM: Avas, Bridge: Will do Cap'n, as soon as we receive clearance from the bridge.
XO Lt Stradiot says:
COM: Cavanal, Avas: This is the bridge, your both clear for departure. Be careful down there.
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::nods to Frank:: FCO: That's us... take us out Frank.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
::smiles at him:: Edon: I'm surprised you became a scientist and not a chef. ::finds a seat and sits down, Edon on one side, Bennet on the other::
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Turns:: SO: Will the storms interfere with communication at all?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Cavanal, Bridge: Keep an eye on the Seleya for me Mr Stradiot. I will see you soon
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Here we go
Opaka Edon says:
OPS:  Give me a chance... I can cook you some mean vegi's :: gives a teasing leer.::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: You look almost giddy, Captain. If I didn't know you any better I'd risk saying you're almost looking forward to this.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
Edon: I'll take you up on that offer.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Do you have any idea how long it has been since I go on an exploration mission?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
XO:  They could.  OPS put enhancers aboard to help out.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::as she sees the Canaval maneuver to the open shuttle bay doors she fires up the engines. Once the other shuttle is clear, she takes the Avas::
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods:: SO: I see.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I'd hardly call this an exploration mission, Captain. Through with you down there I suppose anything could, and will, happen. ::Changes a few parameters in the shuttle's computer:: I am of course assuming you'll be carrying a phaser with you at all times?

ACTION:  As the shuttle bay doors yawn wide open, each shuttle gracefully leaves the ship behind.

OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#::looks out the window:: Bennet: You alright, Suzie? You're awfully quiet.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
Computer: Manual control
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Watches on the view screen as the two shuttles leave the ship for the planet::
CEO Lt Trigger says:
#FCO: I hope you're ready for this, I'm reading a lot of storm activity down there.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV: Yes I will. And I have you, our tactical team ::points to the three TOs on the back:: CIV: And Trigger. Between the 5 of you, you could take on a small Borg hive
Suzie Bennet says:
#:: turns from the window with a smile::  OPS:  I am doing great!  I am just... I don't know if I can explain it.  :: shrugs::  Put it down to excitement of being allowed to be apart of something like this.  Somehow it does not seem... real.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::notices that Frank went to manual control and does the same::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#::smiles:: Bennet: I hope the bad weather doesn't wipe that grin off your face when we get down there.
Shran Sahar says:
# Bennet:  I agree...
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ CO: Is that what you're really hoping to see down there? ::Checks the Seleya's long range sensors from his console:: Everything seems quiet so far. ::Brings up the tactical display on half of the shuttle's small viewscreen::
Dean Garret says:
@  CO:  Have you chosen a specific landing site or is one of those situations where we hope on luck?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV: Of course not. I expect to find the remnants of an ancient civilization there. with some luck there will actually be some life froms there, though I'm not counting on any real first contact
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@Garret: Well, I asked my operations officer to choose a good landing spot. Both safe and interesting. She had some help of your people since you will be doing most of the data gathering
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
#CEO: What you talking about, this is gonna be lots of fun
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
XO:  Sir, I am reading an easing off of one of the storms over the northern continent.  It is one of the larger continents.  Scans show nothing on the surface, but I am picking up metal alloys below the surface.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#FCO: Are we there yet?
CEO Lt Trigger says:
#FCO: Have you ever noticed they never fit seatbelts for the crew in these shuttles?
XO Lt Stradiot says:
COM: Avas: Captain, in the northern continent, we're picking up metals below the surface. The storm is easing up there as well.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
#::Shuttle becomes turbulent:: OPS: Nearly CEO: Can't say I've noticed ::Frantically tapping commands into the helm
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ CO: I have a bad feeling about this. ::Requests a power divert to the Seleya's long range sensors::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#FCO: Are we there...yet?
 
Scenery:  Over the Northern continent, land can be seen, the browns and blacks of a world with no life.  The surface is rocky as the winds have long since eroded much of the soils away into the cold oceans.
 
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV: You have a bad feeling about everything Maor :: notices the turbulence and compensates::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV :Now its getting interesting
CEO Lt Trigger says:
#::shakes in his seat:: All: We appear to be experiencing some turbulence so we request that you all fasten your seatbelts and remain seated until it passes. Thank you.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Turbulence eases a little:: #ALL: I can see land folks
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#CEO: Are we there....yet?
CEO Lt Trigger says:
#FCO: You know the drill frank... treat it like a cornered cat and approach with caution. ::grins::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#Edon: Turbulence... I hope you can keep that food down.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV: Start scanning the surface
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ CO: Already are. ::Continues scanning the planet's surface and their marked landing site::
Opaka Edon says:
# :: gives Ecchumati a teasingly disgusted look.::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Smiles:: #OPS: Scan the surface and landing site
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#::chuckles and turns to a console to scan:: FCO: All looks good, as planned.

Action:  As the shuttles enter the atmosphere, the turbulent is strong, but soon they calm a bit for if not a smooth ride, one less bumpy.

FCO Ens MacArthur says:
#OPS: Good stuff
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::frets a little over the controls as the turbulence gets harder, but then it all goes away:: CIV: That’s better
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@COM: Cavanal That was a nice ride. As we approach the landing site keep sensors working at all times. And we need to know whether or not we will need suits
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ CO: You've really missed  that, haven't you? ::Notes with amusement::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: Pulls up a map on the screen::  XO:  If you were going to build a city, where would you build it?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV: I fly whenever I can, but unfortunately that’s very rare these days. So yes Maor, I will make the best of this away team. something tells me its the only one I will have in a long time to come
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
#ALL: Hope nobody has vomited back there, because here we go ::Begins a sharp descent to clear the atmosphere::
CEO Lt Trigger  says:
#COM: Avas: Captain, we have the landing zone in sight, beginning approach.
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Points to a spot on the Northern Continent:: SO: That there looks nice. Good scenery, yes?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@COM: Cavanal: Thank you Mr Trigger. I see it. we are right behind you
 
# ACTION:  Suize and Edon simply smile while Sahar sighs at the FCO's flying.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ CO: Activating landing lights, diverting powers to the stabilizes.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
XO:  If we could add some plants.  But I agree.  It looks like there was once a large lake and a river... often an indicator of civilization.  You might want to sugges that area... especially given we can see it for now.
CEO Lt Trigger says:
#::diverts power to structural integrity, inertial dampeners and thrusters::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#::holds onto her seat::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::takes the shuttle to a smooth descent increasing the distance to the other shuttle but not wanting to follow MacArthur's speed::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Relieves pressure on the controls for landing:: #ALL: Activating landing lights
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods:: COM: CO: There’s a large lake and a river nearby the metal alloy. I'd check there, since it's a good spot for civilization.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#Suzie: Wow.. tough job to be a pilot now if you have to announce turning on the lights.
 
Scenery:  From the Seleya the two shuttles are monitored.  The one the FCO is flying makes the tactical officer who is keeping track of them, a bit nervous.

OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#FCO: Any chances of a corkscrew barrel roll loop the loop?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@COM: Seleya: Acknowledged Seleya
CEO Lt Trigger says:
#OPS: Don't tempt him.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Ground Proximity beacon activates and the shuttle lands:: #ALL: Thank you for flying with us today
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#FCO: Good landing. ::stands:: All: Ready to go?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@All: Beginning final descent
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
:#:Powers down the shuttle:: OPS: Lets do this
CEO Lt Trigger says:
#FCO: Any landing you can walk away from eh frank. ::grins and pats him on the shoulder as he stands up and heads for the storage locker for an EVA suit::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#::hands over EVA suits to the scientists::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::a few minutes after the first shuttle, she takes the Avas for a smooth landing near the Cavanal::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Unbuckles his seat belt and raises to stand:: CO: So far so good. ::Turns around to face their security team:: TO. You, ::Points at one of the security officers:: will be accompanying the Captain at all times. ::Turns to address the rest of their security detail:: The rest of you will tag a scientist and escort them wherever they go, which won't be far from the rest of the group.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
#::Takes he takes his own EV suit and puts it on::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#::puts a suit on herself::
CEO Lt Trigger says:
#All: Everyone good to go?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV: Lets get our bearings first :: un-straps herself from her seat and goes to the back of the shuttle::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
#ALL: Anyone need a sick bag ::smiles::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
XO:  They have safely landed.  Remind me should I go on the next AT mission, I will fly the shuttle, not the FCO.  :: smiles::
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Smiles:: SO: I'll be sure to remember it.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#::checks all are ready and opens the door::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@All: I am afraid we will all need EVA suits because of these storms.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::puts on her EVA suit, leaving the helment off for now and approaches a console again::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@COM: USS Seleya: We have safely landed and will proceed to investigate. Do you have a transporter lock on us?
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#All: Thank you for flying with Starfleet Air.. have a good day now.
 
ACTION:  Prepared just for that, the scientists quickly help each other on with an EVA suit, each of them discussing things they have seen so far.

CEO Lt Trigger says:
#::turns to the engineers and instructs them to set out the transport enhancers to form an area for beaming samples from::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ CO: I suggest we each wear our transporter beacons, they might have a problem getting a lock on us below the planet's surface.
CEO Lt Trigger says:
#OPS: Did you pack those personnel transport beacons?
XO Lt Stradiot says:
COM: CO: Yes, Cap'n. We have transported lock for the moment.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV: Very well. It doesn't hurt to carry them. Distribute them among the scientists
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#CEO: Of course I did! Cheeky.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@COM: USS Seleya: Good, We are heading out now ::closes the com and opens the shuttle door::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
#CEO: you're brave for asking that ::smiles at OPS::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::steps onto the planet surface, followed by a TO too afraid to disobey Maor in the least bit. She looks around and opens her tricorder for scanning:: 
CEO Lt Trigger says:
#OPS: Good, you distribute them and I'll get the Seismic monitors in place.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Motions one of the security guards to open the storage crate and pass around the beacons::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#::hands over the personal transport beacons::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#FCO/CEO: Why is it the women always have to pack?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
#OPS: You never asked ::smiles::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Rushes after the Captain while keeping his hand against his suit's weapon holster:: CO: Anything resembling a life force?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
XO: Do you realize how old this civilization must have been?  That star began the process of becoming a red giant over a hundred thousand years ago.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::as the scans proceed she taps her badge:: *CEO*: We started exiting the shuttle. The situation looks nominal. Once you are ready to proceed we will walk towards the source of this alloy.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#FCO: So that's how it works, huh?
 
@ ACTION:  As the captain walks around, her foot slightly twists under her, catching her briefly off balance.

CEO Lt Trigger says:
#::places the seismic sensors around the shuttle and taps his com badge:: *SO*: Trigger to the Seleya, I have set out some seismic sensors, you should start receiving telemetry from them now.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV: Not yet but .. ::almost falls but catches herself:: CIV: but this storm could be interfering
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Frowns:: SO: Then the Romans simply walked around and picked up the technology?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
XO:  From what that senator said, that was basically it.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
#OPS: Well... I would them pack it up wrongly
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@CIV: That’s funny .... ::starts dusting what almost made her fall::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
*CEO*:  Thanks... be careful.
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#Scientists: Let's go. FCO: Got to put your socks in your shoes, Frank!
XO Lt Stradiot says:
SO: Trick is, it's all underground. I'm not liking this very much.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::dusts a bit more to reveal some of the metal:: CIV: This is Magna Roman
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::waits for OPS to look away and looks down at his shoes::
OPS LtJG Ecchumati says:
#::moves away:: CEO/FCO: Which way?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ CO: Not bad for our first ten minutes on the planet.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::picks up the item, probably a piece from some vehicle:: CIV: We are on the right place
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
XO:  Well, consider... if you were an advanced civilization and you knew your star was entering its death throws to become a red giant... what would you do?
