Last time on the Seleya:

As the window for the storm clearing opened, Maor got the teams together and headed back to the ship.  But before they left, his group noticed one of the cryo-chamber lights go out and any signs of life every having been inside it having vanished.  As soon as one of the scientists made it into the shuttle he began to go over the data he had downloaded, looking for disappearances.  A pattern for this was discovered and refined in the past half hour time lapse.

Approximately 800 years after being placed in cryogenics, once every ten years, a chamber would register no life signs.  Six hundred years ago pattern shifted to once every eight years.  Four hundred years ago it shifted to once every six years.  Two hundred years ago it shifted to one every four years.  And recently, the pattern had shifted to one every two years.  However, since the arrival of the Romans to this planet, the pattern seemed to have been altered to one a year and since their arrival, at least two chambers had been emptied.

Maor had a few suggestions for the disappearances of lives from the chambers; most found in ancient books of legends that dealt with the living dead.  Before leaving, Maor had a sensor grid placed on the elevator and sent back down to the cryochamber.

The two shuttles are now back on the ship with people dispersing to the labs to make some order out of what they had discovered.  And the command staff moves to meet with the captain for a debrief.

One of the six counselors of Edan, Gridst, who was awoken, is taken to medical; he is slightly in shock over everything he has learned… ignoring the fact his people have been asleep for almost a thousand years...

Captain's log, Stardate 10912.13. The away team is aboard now, along with the individual they woke up on the planet. I asked that the team members that do not need medical attention meet me in the observation lounge. Our guest wwill remain in sickbay with a security guard under observation until we are ready to talk to him
 
<<<<<<<<<< Bathed in Darkness IV >>>>>>>>>>

CO Capt Gomes says:
::in the observation lounge, waiting for the team to gather up. She has a cup of steaming liquid in front of her. she sips it::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Pausing outside the shuttle to direct the science teams efficiently as possible, she then heads for the bridge.::
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::steps out of the shuttle last and accompanies Brianna to the bridge::
Dean Garret says:
:: Perturbed over what he had discovered, he tags along behind the Triggers::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Already in the observation lounge, quietly going over his report::
FCO LtJg Keller says:
::Heads up to the Observation lounge.::
SO Lt Rose says:
FCO:  You feeling better now that we are away from that place?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::looks over her cup to Maor:: CIV: Were there any problems on the return flight to the ship?
FCO LtJg Keller says:
::Looks back.:: SO: A bit. Though now I have a headache from worrying about it so much!
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Shakes his head, his attention still on his PADD:: CO: Don't even recall it.

ACTION:  Upon arrival, Ensign MacArthur is handed new orders due to family emergency.

SO Lt Rose says:
FCO: Doc can see to you after the debrief.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Well, I hope we can make some sense of this mess of data. I don't feel comfortable leaving this planet like this
FCO LtJg Keller says:
SO: Right. I'm sure it's just a little thing.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: as the lift stops, she steps off and heads for the observation lounge.::
FCO LtJg Keller says:
::Follows the SO.::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Sadly we didn't really have a choice, though hopefully we'll have more information from the sensor grid we left including what little the scientists will be able to unravel. 
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Leans over slightly and whispers:: CEO:  Your hair.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: About that sensor grid. Will it download the data directly to the Seleya computer?
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::enters the observation lounge and pulls a chair out for Brianna:: SO: What about it?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::watches as the team assembles itself around the table::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: We'll have to tap into the beacon, assuming weather permits.
FCO LtJg Keller says:
::Takes a seat in the OL and sits, ready for the CO.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Maybe we can send a probe to the ground to act as a relay ::looks around the table and raises her voice::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
All: I am glad to see you back aboard, but as it often is the case we are left we carrying for our wounded, mourning our dead and with more questions that we started with.
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: Let me get to the point. This planet is a treasure box of technology for planets like Magna Roma and there is something down there that even we can not understand. I am not leaving orbit until we have at least a good theory about it
 CO Capt Gomes says:
All: Does anyone have any thoughts about what may be causing these malfunctions on the cryo chambers? Is it related to this sensation of ... fear ... some of you described?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Perhaps we can use the opportunity to figure a way to get our transporters working through the storms. 
CO Capt Gomes says:
::looks around the table at the faces of her tired crew and knows they are under strain as it is. But she has to make them think. If they don't know the answer, then who does?::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods to the CIV and turns to the CEO:: CEO: Do you think that is possible?
CEO Lt Trigger says:
CO: The only way to get transporter to be effective through storms like that is to dramatically increase power input... I'm sure it can be done but it would mean that they would take longer to recharge than normal.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: CEO: We will have to make due. But its good to know we have an option
 CO Capt Gomes says:
All: I still need a good theory though... I am guessing it has something to do with the real reason these people were put in stasis. And with these .... builders Gridst mentioned
 CO Capt Gomes says:
All: But what is the connection?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  According to Gridst, his planet should have millions of years worth of life left in it.  Something changed to alter that.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: I have my people looking into it now.  The question is, is it coincidental or tied into it.
CEO Lt Trigger says:
SO: Something artificial or un-natural?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: That is a good point Lt. And for something to change the weather of the planet it would have to be quite powerful
Dean Garret says:
CO:  There is still the pattern of disappearances of these people.  One does not simply vanish.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: Garret/SO: Did you look for signs of a transporter beam?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: The weather pattern is due to the red giant.  :: nods toward Garrets comment::  I want to add, keeping chambers like that going for a thousand years?  That is a minor miracle.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: So, someone interfered with the star ....
Dean Garret says:
CO:  There was no evidence of transporter technology.  Nor did I pick up anything suggesting that when the last person 'vanished'.
CEO Lt Trigger says:
CO: The star or the planet's core?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
All: Then we are left with more esoteric ideas ... a phase disruption in the planet that would cause these people to disappear from our realm
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CEO: Well, if the weather patterns are due to the Red giant, then I am guessing that is where the change happened.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  It is possible...  there is no two way about it now, this star is dying and at an accelerated rate.
FCO LtJg Keller says:
CO: Captain, to add more questions to the whole mess, I felt a sent of not being alone when we were in the cryo chamber. I felt, almost, evil, perhaps?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Could it have been from the missing bodies? Was it more than one entity?
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks over at Keller::
FCO LtJg Keller says:
CO: I'm not sure, but it was strong. I don't think I've ever felt more uncomfortable. I just wanted out.
Dean Garret says:
 FCO/CO:  He was not alone in that... though I did not pick up that feeling, others did.  I did not pick up any readings either.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  But  Selven picked up something.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
All: I read about those feelings of fear on the reports but I am not sure what to make of them.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Is it possible that you were sensing an entity ... somehow responsible for the disappearance of these bodies?
CEO Lt Trigger says:
CO: From a medical standpoint... if only certain people were affected by the sensation of fear then we should look in to the similarities between those people... it wouldn't give us a positive answer as to what it is but it might be a starting point.
FCO LtJg Keller says:
CO: At this point sir, I'd say anything's possible. But that is a strong possibility.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: If I were those people, I would like to be woken up now... especially if I was supposed to have been woken... :: looks over at Garret::
Dean Garret says:
SO:  They did not expect to sleep for more then 25 years, I believe.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: simply nods::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: I am not sure about that. I think only Girdst can decide the fate of his people right now
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CEO: That is a good idea Mr Trigger
CEO Lt Trigger says:
Garret: So the question becomes, why weren't they woken up after 25 years?
Dean Garret says:
CEO:  They were supposed to have been woken by the builders when the ships were completed.  Apparently there was a cave in that not only destroyed at least two of the ships, but most of the people.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
Garret: So, is it your belief that there was no fowl play from the builders?
SO Lt Rose says:
CEO:  According to archaeologists, the body count almost fits the numbers the counslor had mentioned.
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::turns to Brianna:: SO: I don't suppose that after 800 years we'd be able to detect any weapon signatures that could have been responsible for the collapse?
Dean Garret says:
:: after a moment of contemplating the captains question::  CO:  I don't know.  Given everything out there, a cave in seems rather... 'convenient'.  Consider... what if you did not want these people to leave but had other plans for them?  :: looks over at Maor and smiles wryly::  some people have some interesting ideas in that area.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
Garret: Anything is possible at the moment
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Simply shakes her head::
Dean Garret says:
CO:  So I have learned.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Medical was sent the bones.  Maybe they can tell us something... the bones that is.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: All: Very well. We have some avenues we can go through right now
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV/FCO: I want you to to go to the bridge and meet with Selven. Find out what information he has about this presence on the planet and see what you can piece out
FCO LtJg Keller says:
::Stands up:: CO: Aye, sir.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Lt, I believe you know what to do? Also, keep an eye on the sensor grid you left behind and let me know if anything comes up
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nods::  CO:  I want to check in with medical first... on the bones.  :: Looks at her husband::  I myself am fine.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: SO: Very well Lt.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the Captain, still not standing up::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
Garret: Then perhaps your team can monitor the sensor grid and coordinate with Mr Maor and Mr Keller
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::catches Brianna's look and looks back with a hint of concern::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
All: are there any further questions?
Dean Garret says:
CO:  That and look more closely for any other pattern from the cryo-units.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods at Garret::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
All: you know what to do. Everyone except for Lt Trigger is dismissed
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Raises up from his seat and starts making his way outside the lounge::
FCO LtJg Keller says:
::Nods and leaves to the bridge.::
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::looks at the Captain then at Brianna::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Lifts a brow at her husband and simply smiles and heads out and for medical::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Heading for the lift, she orders it down to medical::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::watches as everyone leaves the room then turns to Trigger very seriously::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Enters the bridge, as he glances around looking for Selven. Spotting him, he makes his way toward him:: Selven: Any developments?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CEO: Tell me Lt, under what circumstances do you think a Starfleet Officer is allowed to argue with a senior officer and threaten him not to follow orders?
FCO LtJg Keller says:
::Follows the CIV.::
SO Selven says:
:: Looks up::  CIV:  Uncertain, sir.  I am taking readings off the sensor grid you left behind.  It does not quite... make sense.  :: pulls up a screen with wavelengths along it.::
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::Looks just as seriously straight back at the CO:: CO: Under the circumstances where the lives of other Starfleet officers and enlisted personnel are at risk if action is not taken.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
SO: What is it? ::Leans closer, watching the reading on the SO's console::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::shakes her head:: CEO: The answer is never. When we signed up for Starfleet, we gave them our lives
FCO LtJg Keller says:
::Looks at the readings.::
SO Selven says:
 CIV: Here... :: points to one band::  I am reading what appears to be multiple life signs.  Here :: points to another::  I am reading pure energy.  But it is not consistent.  It fluctuates and alters.  The only thing certain I can say, is once you placed the grid, I have not lost contact of it as I was before....
SO Selven says:
CIV: ... there is definitely something in that room.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Life signs? From the chambers?
SO Selven says:
CIV:  No, sir.  Again, now that the sensor grid is there, I can pick up... barely, the life signs in the cryo-units... more like living matter then life signs really.  They are totally different.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CEO: So did your wife. You gambled the lives of the whole away team for her own. A Starfleet officer just can't do that
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
SO: That energy you read, did it somehow alter since we left the planet surface?
CEO Lt Trigger says:
CO: I wasn't gambling the lives of the entire away team, just my own.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::gets up:: CEO: And do you think they would have been able to return without you?
SO Selven says:
CIV:  At this point, this... altering back and forth if you will... makes it hard to determine.  However... :: taps another set of keys and another grid appears::  Yes... here and here.  There was an increase in energy.
CEO Lt Trigger says:
CO: Just tell me one thing... if you were in my position, would you have sat by and let your new husband die because a senior officer told you to?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Turns around in his musings:: FCO: What do you make of this, Lieutenant? 
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::turns to him and look into his eyes:: CEO: I would have done my duty. That is my only responsibility when I put on this uniform
CEO Lt Trigger says:
CO: And you would have been ok with that?
FCO LtJg Keller says:
::Whispering:: Self: Have I seen that before?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Clears his throat:: FCO: I'm sorry, did you say something?
FCO LtJg Keller says:
CIV: Sorry, just sort of thinking aloud. ::Points to the screen.:: Selvan: Can you isolate that frequency?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Turns back to the direction of the console, wanting to look at what the FCO has found::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::sits down again:: CEO: What I would feel is beyond the point here. The point is responsibility. Right now how can I have you in my crew, if I do not trust you will follow my orders?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CEO: Would you have an engineer working for you who already threatened to disobey orders and do something you consider foolish?
SO Selven says:
:: Simply nods and complies, isolating the band::
FCO LtJg Keller says:
::Stares at the screen, shaking his head.::
FCO LtJg Keller says:
Self: I know I've seen that somewhere before...
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
FCO: What is it, Lieutenant?
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::sighs and lowers his head shaking it slowly from side to side:: CO: Look... I admit, I was very emotional at the time... I had just been told that Brianna was on the shuttle and I didn't know what was going on... if I'm honest, I panicked. I didn't just take an oath to Starfleet, I took an oath to protect Brianna and the orders I was given conflicted with that oath... I was confused.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Making her way to the medical lab, she finds herself a spot and sits down to look over what they are discovering about the bones, hoping after all this time, there might be a clue.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CEO: I understand Caelan. But as you probably know I can not forgive. You are confined to quarters. Think about what happened. Think about whether you really want that uniform now. And you have to be aware that you may have to make  the same choice again
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CEO: I believe you will not need an escort to take you to quarters. You are dismissed.
FCO LtJg Keller says:
CIV: We saw them on the Triton! Right before we left Denali! It we called it a g, for a joke.
CEO Lt Trigger says:
::stands and heads for the door:: CO: You know me Captain... you shouldn't need me to answer that. ::walks out and heads for his quarters::
 
ACTION:  The deep in the chamber below, the sensors pick up a sudden surge of energy, and another chamber light blinks off.
 
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Sits in his chair on the bridge and monitors the situation::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::in her ready room, scratching her eyes. She taps her com:: *XO*: Gomes to Stradiot. Can I see you for a moment?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::In front of his console, still waiting for the results to arrive::
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Stands:: *CO*: Of course. ::Walks over to the CO's ready room and rings the chime::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: Leans back in her chair, tired.  She is both dreading and wanting to get to her quarters to speak with her mate.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Come in :: makes sure the door is unlocked::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
*CO*:  Captain, whenever you have a moment, I have some information for you.
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Quickly turns before entering: CIV: You have the con, Commander. ::Steps into the Ready Room::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
*SO*: I will meet you on the bridge in 15 minutes
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Looks over:: CO: You asked to see me?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: XO: Please take a seat
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Sits down and patiently waits::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: Standing, she slowly stretched, loosening some of the muscles that had tightened from sitting too long.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: As you probably know by now, I have relieved Mr Trigger of duty, following his ... incident with you earlier. I am thinking of charging him with insubordination. I want to know what you think
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Looks down to the floor:: CO: To be honest, as a person, I would say i wouldn't charge him...but as a Starfleet officer, I must say that he should indeed be charged. Starfleet comes first in these situations.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: Blowing her breath out on a sigh, she looks around the now empty room.  Most of her staff was either going off shift, taking a break or working elsewhere for now.::  CEO: Caelan, I will be another hour at least.  Hopefully you have not started dinner yet.   I will be on the bridge for now if you need me.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: smiling at her husbands grumbles she turns to head out.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Its more than that William. We can not have an officer aboard who might not follow rules. If we accept that we will have a mutiny in our hands. But you are right, there are several mitigating factors.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I will talk to him again. I will put this charge on his official record and reduce his shore leave time. It will also be a long time before he is allowed on an away team again
XO Lt Stradiot says:
CO: I quite agree with you, Captain. It would be best....This is just a thought, but maybe sending him to the counselor might help a bit.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods and grins:: XO: I always forget counselors. Probably because I don't like it when they analyze me. ::stops a moment::: XO: And it would also be good if you could talk to him. try to see if there are any problems between you
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: That is all I had. Is there anything you would like to add?
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Shakes head:: CO: Not really, Captain...I can't help but feel like this is partially my fault however. I did send that ship down there...It should've made it but the storm moved faster than was planned...it was a gamble I shouldn't have taken.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I think you did your best with the information you had. We learn from our mistakes, so consider this a lesson. ::gets up:: XO: I am going to the bridge to talk to science. You take command for now
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: Arriving on the bridge, she automatically headed for science where Selven was finishing up his report.::
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods and follows the CO out onto the bridge::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: Quietly they discuss their current results.  Bri could read some of the frustration in her officers eyes... probably because it was reflected in her own.  Neither of them liked puzzle pieces that did not fit... or in this case make obvious sense.... not when so many lives were involved.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::enters the bridge from the RR and looks for Rose::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::spots her and approaches her:: SO: what do you have Brianna?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: pulls up the data from the last given report, and overlays it with the suns current situation.  Looks up.::  CO:  Have a seat... we are trying to put some things together here.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods and sits, looking at the screen::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  Here are some facts.  From what I was told on numbers of workers, from the bones that were recovered, including those few that were not well preserved by the soils, all of the bodies of the Edan ship builders are accounted for.  They never left their world.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  Why they were all in the vicinity of the cave in, I have no answer.  There is no obvious evidence for a cave in to even have occurred.  Whoever built that place did a darn good job.  Just the fact after a thousand years we found it basically as it was, is an indicator of that.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  There were repercussion marks along the back wall.  Something on the surface that was large enough could have struck the area and caused it.  :: shrugs her shoulder::  But too many storms and too much time has passed to have left any obvious evidence.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Is it clear that all the workers died more or less at the same time?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  Yes.  With so much time... I cannot be more specific.  But from MacAruthurs report, he noticed the private rooms looked as if someone had just stepped out.  There was no sign of anyone having returned and continued to live on... not to mention anyone trying to wake the cryofolks.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: SO: I am just wondering if they were caught off guard or went on living for decades after the otehrs were in stasis. So lets assume these workers finished their job, were on scheduled to wait 20 years and wake the rest of their men. Then suddenly they are attacked by something causing these repercussion marks
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Is there any connection between those marks and the empty stasis chambers?
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Sits back down in his chair::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  Ahhh... but that is the point.  They did not finish their job.  Only one ship was completed; the ones the Romans took.  Two were in the process until the cave in.  And according to Dean Garret, there were plans for at least two more ships.  And yes, the supplies for the two ships were still there so we know no one came and took them.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: I see. so this was even more recent. So someone knew they were here building these ships and stopped them. We have to ask Gridst who their enemies were. What about the database, do you know if we got any useful information from there?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  I am not certain... Commander Maor was working on that... I believe.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: Motions to the screen and adds one other graph::  CO:  Again, using previous data, what you are seeing is a normal healthy star; not theirs... just for comparison.  :: Points:: This is a star that has reached a point where it has used up enough fuel it is starting to expand; your red giant.  This star has millions of years left in it.  And this
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up at the sound of his name::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
last one, is the Edan's current star which is slowly contracting now… and far faster then it should be.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  Bottom line, this star is dying at an accelerated rate and astrophysics has not found any reasons why... well... beyond the fact its fuel is depleted.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: I once read that trillithium can be used to prematurely stop fusion in a star, even faster than this. Did you see any signatures of it?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
:: Frowns::  CO:  No... but then again, I was not looking for that.  I will have astrophyics look into that.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  Next... :: Nods to Selven who then reports on what they are finding down in the cryounit now.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: SO: Thank you. I know you don't have enough data to answer this. But do you think this started with the star accelerating its development. Or was there someone on the planet intent on killing those men?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO: You would have to ask the councilor that question.  But… :: frowns::  their technology is an interesting mix of some things being more advanced then ours and others only in the early stages of being invented.  I do think there is some connection to the star dying… it is too coincidental and way to illogical.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO: As said before...
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
This star had a couple of billions of year of life left.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: It seems like too much disconnected data. This mix in technology seems to imply these people contacted other species. But it remains, why would they destroy a star? why would they kill those workers?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  Who is they?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::smiles:: SO: I wish I knew. I assume it wasn't Gridst people
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  Ahhh... no, probably not.  But what about what Selven is finding?  That suggests some kind of life form down there.  Oh... and one more thing.  :: looks a bit grim as she looks over at Selven who nods and taps a few keys, pulling up the most recent data.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods and looks at the data::
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  As you know, Dean Garret showed a patter of cryo units emptying over time... relatively small all in all considered and might even be considered normal if not for the fact of the pattern.  But... since we have been aboard, two more units have 'winked' out.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: That makes it very fast. Did our sensors register the moment they ... winked out?
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CO:  Thanks to the sensor web Maor had us put up, yes.
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Continues to listen to the conversation::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his console:: CO, SO: I think we've given as many theories as we can, we're going to reach a point where we'll be forced to gather more information to help solve this mystery. Clearly the data we've gathered so far isn't enough, perhaps we should consider sending a Robot down there. Might be able to send it to see the "life form" we've detected.
SO Lt Rose-Trigger says:
CIV:  More sensors and a few enhancers would be helpful.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: I agree but we also need to put all this information together. You start working on the robot with the FCO
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods, returning his attention to his console::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/XO: Lets see what the sensor grid has to tell us
XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods::
