Last week on the Seleya:

Having entered the Atra system and worked their way through a warning grid system without setting it off or shutting it down, the ship is now in orbit around Atra IV.  A cold dead world whose sun died eons ago, taking the inner planets with it but leaving this outer world in tact if dead.  It has a thin atmosphere, breathable, barely as the oxygen is very thin... not surprising of world with no life and no surface water.

On Atra IV lie the ruins of many dead cities giving testament to a people who remained as long as they could in their system.  Untouched by the elements of erosion now and a taboo world, much of it remains intact.

The captain is sending a trusted scientist down on the away team, Lieutenant Mariluah who will not only be doing her normal job, but looking out for clues that her brother might have left her.  Pandora will be on the team as well, unaware of all that is involved, unhappy just to go as he does not like away missions... he is a ship based man.

The doctor, T'Rae is prepared for anything as she knows this is not a standard mission and lives were at stake, especially those of children.  As for Maor, leading a bunch of scientist was not perhaps his ideal, and though the true mission was held behind an archaeological one, he knew the captain would not forgive him if they did not do some digging around.

The away team gather to beam down...

Captain's log, Stardate 11004.18. The away team is ready to beam to Atra IV. They have two mission objectives. To find data on the civilization that once inhabited here and to looks for traces of the kidnappers. I hope they succeed in both.

<<<<<<<<<< Reunion of a Past IV>>>>>>>>>>

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::At one of the Seleya's transporter rooms overseeing the last preparations before their departure::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::in her chair on the bridge, waiting for information from the away team::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances toward the OPS's direction:: OPS: Do we have everything we'll need down there?
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::arrives in the transporter room carrying a backpack of equipment, a phaser and a tricorder:: CIV: Commander
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Arrives at the transporter room, scans the room to see who else has arrived::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: On the bridge::  CO:  Sensors are still clear.  I am not picking up any life signs or ships in the vicinity.  I am not sure if that is good or bad, but that is what we have.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the SO:: SO: Lieutenant. We're just about ready to transport down, assuming your team is ready.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks up from the crate in front of him:: CIV: I believe so, commander.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Indeed. Thank you Brianna. Keep the computer looking for any signs just in case. If they are using a dampening field, it might glitch
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Pulls a hypospray from her med kit that she has prepared.::  CIV: Commander, may I interest you in a TriOx cocktail it will help us acclimate to the thin atmosphere.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: If we could stir up a storm, it might be easier to find a glitch.  :: smiles half to herself.::  Maybe some fairy dust.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::looks at the 2 SOs entering the transporter room then nods at the CIV:: CIV: They are now
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Enters the transporter room and looks around::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances around noting the Doctor's arrival:: OPS: Has anyone seen Commander Heller? ::Notices him:: Ah.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: I am not sure about the fairy dust but a storm might be a good idea. We could try flooding the area with a low dose of Tachyon radiation. Could we make it look like a normal discharge from the sun?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the CMO, pulling his shirt collar to the side:: SO: Good. ::Turns to face the CTO:: CTO: Is your team ready? We're going to need at least four security guards with us to protect all the people we're going to have down there.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Applies the hypospray and repeats the procedure with each member of the away team.::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::her antennae flinch as the hypospray touches her::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
CIV:  They should be here shortly.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks at the CMO briefly, before the hypo touches his arm:: CMO: Thanks.

ACTION: The last of the away team members arrive as the doctor finishes administering her 'cocktail'

CMO Ltjg TRae says:
OPS: Your welcome.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Stows the hypo after administering a dose to herself, and steps up onto the transporter pad::
TO Derfel says:
CTO:  Reporting as ordered sir.  ::Derfel and 3 other security officers arrive in the transporter room.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the CTO:: All: We're going to beam down in turns. Lieutenant Pandora, Lieutenant Mariluah's colleagues, one of the security guards, the Doctor and myself will take the first turn. The Commander and his team along with Lieutenant Mariluah will beam down as soon as the equipment is ready to be beamed down as well. 
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
All: You'll each be assigned duties as soon as we meet again at the planet's surface. ::Turns to the transporter chief:: Chief: Whenever you're ready. ::Steps on one of the pads::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::nods at the CIV and steps out of the transporter as her two colleagues join::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Absent mindedly touches the medallion hung around her neck and safely hidden beneath her tunic.  takes a deep breath and prepares to transport::
TC Raion says:
CIV:  Coordinates set for the largest of the cities. You will arrive on the outskirts.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
TC: Understood.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Steps onto the pad as Maor tells them he'd be part of the first group::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
Derfel:  Go with the first team and make sure they stay safe till we arrive.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  The suns activity here is fairly nominal, but that does not mean someone else knows that.  Let me see what I can put together with engineering.
TO Derfel says:
CTO: Yes sir.  ::Checks his phaser rifle and steps onto the pad.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods at Rose:: SO: Now we wait ...That's most of what you do as a Captain you know. Wait
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Yea  ::humorously grumbles::  How long have we worked together?  We should have our own special club.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: Captain, we're seconds from beaming out. We're going on silent run until an emergency comes up. Maor out.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::listens to the com and makes a point of opening it again::*CIV*: Acknowledged. Good luck ::closes the com::

ACTION:  The away team find themselves on the edge of a cliff miles high in the air.   The waters having long since evaporated have left the huge basin with the city appearing as if it were high in the sky.  Shortly after the first group arrives, the second appears.

SO Lt Mariluah says:
::Arrives with the second party and immediately pulls out her tricorder::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
 ::Glances around him:: Derfel: Head north, scout the area but stay in sight. Low frequency communication only and no active scans. 
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks around as they arrived, a little concerned with how dry and desert-like the place looks::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
All: No one run any active scans until we're sure we're not being monitored, passive scans only for now.
TO Derfel says:
CIV:  Yes sir.  ::Heads north checking the area.;;
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Arrives with the second team and directs his team to fan out and check the area::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::pulls out her tricorder and switches it to passive record::  CIV: without active scanners, there is not much the tricorders can tell us.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CIV: Yes Commander. The only artificial objects I am reading are ruined structures. This was a very large city
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Better safe than sorry, I'm hoping we'll be able to spot anything out of place assuming we find an high enough place to scout from.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
SO: How far from our current location?
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Looks over the cliff::  CIV and this isn't high enough for you sir.  ::points to the cliff::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Has the team arrived on the planet?
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO:  Yes and still everything is clear.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: It's plenty high, Doctor. We'll head there as soon as we get everything we need from the ship.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CIV: The closest one? Just a few meters. But there are hundreds, maybe thousands
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Understood, we'll wait for the cars then head out.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::taps the sidearm of her chair::* Carbo bay*: Cargo Bay one, this is the Captain. Beam down the two buggies. Try not to squash anyone in the process

ACTION:  Two transport vehicles are beamed a few meters from the away team.

CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Watches his team fan out scans the area looking for some high vantage points.::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Begins looking specifically for biological remains, even fossilized ones.  Anything that might hint to the biological history of this planet.::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Sees the buggies appear and heads towards them:: CIV: Looks like our transportation has arrived, commander.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::covertly looking for anything that might indicate recent biological activity on any level, even an out of place microbe or two::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CIV: We would get better readings with particle scans...which you don't allow. In any event, the more intact buildings are in the center of the city apparently
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Indeed it has. ::Turns to face the CTO:: CTO: You have one of the cars, collect the security officer I've send on ahead, the SO and some of the equipment and we'll get moving.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS, CMO and the rest of the scientists: We're taking the second car, start loading it with any equipment we have left.
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
CIV:  Understood.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
All: We're going to head to one of the tall buildings in the center of town, hopefully we'll get a vantage point there and be able to use active scans.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods at the CIV's order as he reaches the buggy, inspecting it to make sure it's in top shape::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::Approaches the CTO:: CTO: Are you a good driver?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
All: I want you all remember that we're working under the assumption we're being monitored at all times, stay vigilant.
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Sends a low frequency signal to Derfel ordering him to return.::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
SO:  It's been awhile but yes I'm a pretty good driver.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Frustrated with the passive scan mode, she drapes her tricorder still open over her neck, and makes her way over to the buggy::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
All: My first analysis of the city is that it wasn't attacked or destroyed, it looks just abandoned. These people probably knew that their sun was becoming a red giant. But I will need more data to know for sure
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::smiles and her antennae turn:: CTO: Good
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Satisfied the vehicle is fine, he turns around, ready to lend a hand in the loading process::
 
Scenery:  High in the dimly lit sky is seen the white dwarf that now rules this system.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
All: We're heading out. ::Gets inside one of the buggies:: OPS: Let's go.
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Moves over to his vehicle and checks it over::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::jumps onto her assigned buggy, beside the CTO::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Checks his PADD:: OPS: This way. ::Points to certain spot on the map::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Finishes his check of the buggy as Derfel arrives back and climbs into the buggy.::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Sees everything is ready to go, and turns around once more, taking the driver's seat in the second buggy:: CIV: You have no idea how much I am looking forward to this.. ::Grins as he pushes the throttle, spinning the wheels on the dusty surface::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CTO: We should be leading the way you know. I mean other than the CMO those guys can't read a tricorder
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Easy does it, Lieutenant. Last I heard this things have the tendency to kill you. ::Hangs on tight to one of the support bars::
 
ACTION:  The all-terrain Argo buggy takes off, dust flying briefly before it settles quickly in the quiet atmosphere.

CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
SO:  Well lets get out ahead of them.  ::Punches the accelerator.::  Show me where we need to go.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Gives the wheel a small jerk, causing the buggy to skid some more before slowing down a little. Best not to push his luck with Maor too much::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CTO: Erm.. ok, Maor will have your head. So, the tallest building I read is 3 Km, southwest from here ::points::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Checks his phaser rifle again:: OPS: Slow down once we reach the urban area, plenty of places for them to set up traps for us.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods:: CIV: Aye sir. Though, the faster we go, the harder a target we are for them.
SO Lt Rose says:
@CO:  This star looks like it is going to have a flare in about 30 minutes.  If it was a standard star, I would be concerned for the away team.  As it is, it would be a good time to use the tachyon rays.  Engineering says they can have something rigged up.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Not if they have mines. 
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Sees the building the SO pointed at and turns in that direction, aiming to pull ahead of the other buggy before slowing down.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Thats good news. Get it started when ready
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Once we slow down you may begin to active scan but limit your scan to our surrounding area. No more than five hundred meters. Check for anything out of place.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Nods toward the CIV, trying not to fall out of the moving buggy::

ACTION: As the buggies leave what was once the seaside port, they pass large buildings that appear to have once been warehouses.  Those are soon passed by to reveal a barren area, perhaps once a park.  From there they are among the main thorough fares into the city.  No matter the height of the buildings they pass, the tall sky scrappers are still visible.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Points forward toward the tall building just ahead of them:: OPS: See it?
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Guns it and slides ahead of the other buggy and leads the way toward the buildings.::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CTO: I guess we really have to follow them now ... Well, at least I am gathering information on these structures. They share many features with both Cardassians and Tallarians. Its almost like they are the missing link between the two
SO Lt Rose says:
@CO:  They are on it.  It will be ready when we are.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::grabs the sides of the vehicle as the CTO speeds up...he is brave::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Watches the CTO's buggy drive on ahead:: All: What the hell is he doing?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Gives the other buggy a little more space to overtake::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::smiles:: CTO: This is fun! ::continues looking at her tricorder to take measurements and pictures, which is pretty much all she can do::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
CIV: Scouting ahead, like a good tactical officer should do. It's best to not be close together anyway, that way if one comes under attack, the other still has the option to flank the attackers, if it comes to that.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Anything, Doctor?
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Grins:: SO:  It's been awhile since I've done this but I do enjoy it.  ::slows down as they enter the city watching for anything suspicious.::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CIV: Not yet, pulls up her tricorder and switches it to active mode.  ::wonders if all this stealth will actually give them away::

ACTION:  The tallest of the skyscrapers comes into view, giving a clue to the splendor of its past.
