LtJG. Tharrn
Brinn: Errrrrr... did you hear that?

Lt. Peters
Pang:  How about a 200m perimiter to start with.

Capt. Brinn
Tharrn:  A cave perhaps...

Lt. Peters
Fortuna:  How dangerous are the tregas?

LtJG. Pang
Peters:: As far as I understand it ... the birds will feed on the bodies that the geyser will cause .... the AT is in great danger!

Lt. Varek
{#}CO: There is a geyser that is going to erupt soon, we are avoiding any underground exploration and apparently there are birds that should be avoided as well

Capt. Brinn
::arrives where the others are, with Tharrn::

Cmdr. Guglaron

Fortuna
Peters : how dangerous is death ?

Fortuna
Pang: Try defend yourself you may...but the gyser protects

Cmdr. Guglaron
Praxton:: A klingon smells his foe, tastes the air, waits and then strikes

LtJG Quchant
Lenor: Not long...10-15 mins...there is no immediate danger to the crew from the geyser as long as they keep their distance

Cmdr. Guglaron
Praxton, yes, food, but....

LtJG. Tharrn
All: Who volunteers to carry equipment over to the cave?

Lt. Varek
Lenor: Can we determine the eruption time?

Capt. Brinn
All: Take defensive cover immediately, until we know what these birds intend.

LtJG. Pang
Peters:  I guess we can kill those things without upsetting the natives .....

Lt. Peters
Fortuna:  What do you mean gyser protects?

Lt. Lenor
Varek: the erruption will be in 10-15 minutes sir

Fortuna

Doc. Praxton
::gulps::

Cmdr. Guglaron
::stands up::

Lt. Varek
Lenor: Can you setup our equi[ment to monitor and record the eruption?

Lt. Peters
#Varek:  From what I can gatherm the tregas are similar to Earth Vultures, but they don't wait.  If you see what I mean.

Cmdr. Guglaron
::animal flees at sight of Klingon::

LtJG. Pang
::has a nasty suspicion that the natives may not be as friendly as Fortuna seems::

Doc. Praxton
Guglaron: agreed

Fortuna:: What celebration .......?

LtJG Quchant

Fortuna
Pang Much merriment Song and dance and other things

Cmdr. Guglaron

Lt. Varek
GUg: Would you mind collecting that survey equipment and setting it up about a 1000 meters further back?

Cmdr. Guglaron
Varek: of course, no problem

Lt. Peters
Pang:  I wish you hadn't said that, but I agree with you....

LtJG. Pang
::smiles at Fortuna:: Thank you for your explanations ....

Frodirol
::wanders over to Fortuna who is talking to strangers:: AT: Welcome are you. Come join us to celebrate the fountain of lights as it erupts from its earthly prison

Lt. Varek
QUchant: How long before the eruption?

Cmdr. Guglaron
::gathers Survey equipment and walks off::

Lt. Peters

LtJG Quchant
Varek 5 mins Sir

Capt. Brinn
 Varek:  The shelter seems adequate for our purposes; what can Tharrn and I do here?

Doc. Praxton

Lt. Varek
CO: We will be monitoring the geyser's eruption, but I would still like to contact the Forteasians to learn what they might know about this eruption

LtJG Quchant
::moves equipment back to safe distance and sets it back up to record eruption::

Lt. Varek
::looks around at gathering group and tries to identify any leader or elder in the masses::

Fortuna

Capt. Brinn
::smiles::  Ah, we will accept blessings, but what has caused you  to approach us?

Lt. Peters
#Lenor:  Great.  That's all we need.

Lt. Peters
