CTO_Peters says:
::At tactical, scans at maximum::

OPS_Mades says:
::double checks the mapping from his post::  CO: I've verified the coordinates, sir.  That moon is definitely our destination.

CSO_KTor says:
::At Science 1, scanning the destination moon for any information::

Regnum says:
@::talking to his tricorder::

CEO_Russel says:
::on deck 7, in the torpedo magazine, modifying torpedoes to include the alloy from the shuttle's hull, as ordered.::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  All is clear.  Nothing on the scans... at least not yet.

CTO_Peters says:
::Adjusts her sensors a bit.  Her console beeps.  She takes a look and it’s Topper::  *CTO*:  Ma'am.  Patrols have been doubled as per orders.  We are ready.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Good Mr. Peters, but just to be safe, Yellow Alert

OPS_Mades says:
::starts to feel the tension build, the anticipation of what is on that moon waiting for them.  Anything could happen... anything.  Christian smiles crookedly thinking about it::

CSO_KTor says:
::Pulls up a database record::

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks up for a sec:: CO:  Aye Sir, Yellow alert.  ::Hits the Klaxons and yellow begins flashing.::

CTO_Peters says:
*Topper*:  Excellent.  Keep a close yet out... I don't like this.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> *CTO*:  Aye Ma'am.

OPS_Mades says:
::suddenly something grabs his attention, perplexed, he starts fiddling with his console:: CO: Sir, I've got an extremely faint signal... wow its faint.

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Sir, according to the database, at last survey, this moon was a plain class-M moon with nothing out of the ordinary on it.

CTO_Peters says:
::Grins to herself and types onto her console and sends a wink to Christian.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Try to get a better fix on it Mr. Mades

OPS_Mades says:
::sees the wink, but doesn't answer for the time being as he tries to boost the signal, but is having problems::

CEO_Russel says:
::rummages through his kit to find the proper tool.  Finds it and finishes installing the alloy.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CSO: Scan for life forms

OPS_Mades says:
CO: It seems to be... well Federation in origin.  ::swings around:: and it is definitely coming from the moon.

CTO_Peters says:
::Hears Christian and adjusts her sensors to the coordinates of the signal.::

Regnum says:
@::Eats some banana like fruits::

CEO_Russel says:
::closes the torpedo and moves to the next.::  one down, three to go...

OPS_Mades says:
::analyzes the carrier frequency of the message and tries to optimize the communication systems to pick it up::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Federation? A science vessel that is surveying perhaps?

Regnum says:
@::Bathes in the river::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  I'm getting the same signal.. Checking for weapons or some type of ship...

OPS_Mades says:
::getting a bit frustrated, he still can't tell what the heck the signal is, for all he knows it could say "Don't get any closer."  Takes a deep breath and keeps working on it::

Regnum says:
@::Goes to his makeshift home in a nearby cave and marks another day on the wall now littered with hundreds of marks::

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Sir, I'm detecting a large number of life-forms on the planet, in line with our survey data. It is impossible to be certain of any specifics at this time.

ACTION : 10 minutes to Coordinates... LRS start getting more accurate readings.

OPS_Mades says:
CO: I can't tell.  I can tell it is using common Federation frequencies, but I can't even tell what kind of signal it is yet.

CSO_KTor says:
::Glances at new sensor data:: CO: Sir, sensors are picking up a possible human biosign.

CTO_Peters says:
::notices her sensors are picking up a bit more.::  CO:  Hmmm Sir, looks it's a tricorder frequency...possibly federation.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO/OPS/CSO: We're closer now, you should get better readings

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Signs of any ships?

CEO_Russel says:
::finishes the second torpedo and moves on to the third.::

OPS_Mades says:
Self:  Come on... it doesn't match anything in the databanks... think think.   ::starts thinking outside the box::  Aloud: Eureka!

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: What do you have Mr. Mades?

CTO_Peters says:
::pouring over data.::  CO:  No ships sir.  Least not in sensor range.

Regnum says:
@ Glitch: How long have I been here Glitch?

Regnum says:
<Glitch> @Regnum: Can't you count? A little over 4 years and 2 months

OPS_Mades says:
::swings around again:: CO: Sir, the signal, it’s a broadcast from a tricorder.  Probably a hobbled together distress call.  I'm slowly getting it filtered through the systems.  Give me a minute.  ::swings back around and his fingers fly over his console::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Maybe we should try and send a return signal and see who answers?

OPS_Mades says:
CO: I think I've got it... it’s a voice signal.

CTO_Peters says:
::nods at the CO.::  OPS:  Christian you want to do the honours or do you want me to do it?

OPS_Mades says:
::repeats what he hears from the signal:: Aloud:  count... over.... months.   CO: It is still a little spotty.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Once in range, gather an Away Team to beam down to that signal

OPS_Mades says:
CTO: I'll give it a try Zoe, I've already got the signal frequency up. 

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Aye Sir..  I'll take Mr K'Tor with me if you have no objections.

OPS_Mades says:
::sends down a short message::  COM:Unknown Signal:  This is the USS Artemis on approach.  Please identify.

Regnum says:
@Glitch: What was that?

CTO_Peters says:
::looks over at K'Tor and smiles at him.::

CSO_KTor says:
::Nods to Peters::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: You and Mr. K'Tor better get ready then

Regnum says:
<Glitch> @Regnum: A Comm signal you idiot, answer it

OPS_Mades says:
::tries to boost the gain on the incoming transmission::

CEO_Russel says:
::finishes the third torpedo and moves on to the fourth and last.::

CTO_Peters says:
CSO:  Let’s go.  Well take down phaser rifles and a type II phaser each and any hidden weapons you may like to carry.

CTO_Peters says:
::turns her station over to her relief and heads for the TL.::

Regnum says:
@COM: Vessel: My Name is Lieutenant Victor Scott Regnum of the Federation Starship Artemis, I didn't receive your previous message, and I’ve been lost here a very long time, please restate.

CSO_KTor says:
::Nods to the relief science officer and follows Peters::

CSO_KTor says:
CTO: Hidden weapons?

CTO_Peters says:
::TL doors open and she enters::  Computer:  Transporter room 1

Regnum says:
@Glitch: Glitch, who sent that message?

CSO_KTor says:
::Steps in with Peters::

CTO_Peters says:
::Grins:: CSO:  Any knives you may want to take along.  A grenade or two.  You know things like that.

Regnum says:
<Glitch> @Regnum: I don't know, but it was coming through on a federation channel

CSO_KTor says:
CTO: Knives, no, but a grenade perhaps.

OPS_Mades says:
::relays the return message to the CO::  CO: I can make out... name is... Scott Regnum... Federation.. and something that sounds like Artemis.  

OPS_Mades says:
::turns around:: CO: As we get closer I expect the transmissions will clear up.

CTO_Peters says:
::Chuckles:: CSO:  Take two.  I have plenty to spare.  ::Feels the TL stop and the doors open.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Hmm, that name is not familiar with me, but run that name and search the data banks

OPS_Mades says:
COM:Regnum: Please hold tight, we are on the way.

ACTION : 5 minutes to coordinates..

OPS_Mades says:
CO: Yes sir.  ::runs the name through the computer::

CTO_Peters says:
::Straightening up she steps off the TL and heads for the TR where she finds Topper waiting with the rifles she asked for.:: Topper:  Ever the mind reader you.  ::Grins::  Thanks for getting this quickly I didn't give you much time.

CSO_KTor says:
::Walks with Peters to the transporter room::

Regnum says:
@COM: Vessel: Federation Signal, I repeat my name is Lieutenant Victor Scott Regnum of the Federation Starship Artemis, I have been stranded on this planet for over 4 years, please respond.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper>  ::Hands K'Tor a rifle, a couple grenades and two boot knives.::

Regnum says:
<Glitch> @Regnum: Another signal very faint, I couldn't make out anything but the words tight and way

CTO_Peters says:
::Takes one of the rifles and inserts the power pack.  Powering up the weapon she places it on medium stun.::

Regnum says:
@Glitch: The voices, stop the voices!

OPS_Mades says:
CO: Another transmission... "signal, I... Scott Regnum... stranded for over... please respond.”

CSO_KTor says:
::Takes the phaser rifle, grenades, and knives, holding the rifle and powering it up on stun also::

CTO_Peters says:
::looks over at Topper::  Topper:  Tanya has tactical.  Let her know what is going on.  I'll catch you on the flip side.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Try and clear the signal

OPS_Mades says:
COM: Regnum: Please repeat your last.  ::continues working on the signal::

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper>  CTO:  Aye Ma'am...  Be careful.

CTO_Peters says:
::nods at Topper and steps up onto the Transporter Padd.::  CSO:  Ready T'Kor?

Host SM_Sergio says:
<FCO> CO : Sir.. We're reaching the system.. Shall I slow to impulse?

Regnum says:
@::Overly Excited at other voices other then glitch to talk to:: Glitch: what did it say, what did it say?

CSO_KTor says:
::Steps up onto the next pad:: CTO: Any time.

CEO_Russel says:
::finishes the last torpedo.  Taps commbadge.::  *Bridge*:  This is Commander Russell.  The torpedoes were completed according to Commander Farrel's specifications.  I was able to make four of them.

CTO_Peters says:
::Taps her combadge.::  CO:  We are ready to transport as soon as we are in position.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Yes, 1/4 impulse

OPS_Mades says:
::waits impatiently for the next transmission::

CTO_Peters says:
::Turns and smiles.:: CSO:  Keep low until we know what we are dealing with.  The man can be an axe murderer for all we know.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Aye, you have clearance

Host SM_Sergio says:
<FCO> ::slows to 1/4 impulse::

OPS_Mades says:
*CTO*: I have a name... Scott Regnum.

Regnum says:
@COM: Vessel: Who are you?

CTO_Peters says:
*OPS*:  Scott Regnum... Who is he suppose to be?

OPS_Mades says:
::excited, the message came through crystal clear::  COM: Regnum: This is Lieutenant Christian Mades of the USS Artemis.  We have just arrived.

Regnum says:
@::Starts hitting tricorder waiting for more messages::

CTO_Peters says:
::Taps her foot wanting to get on with it.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Have you come up with an identity?

OPS_Mades says:
*CTO*: That is the name the voice in the signal gave me, still waiting to see if the computer can make anything of it.

Regnum says:
@COM: Artemis: Artemis home!

CTO_Peters says:
CSO:  Looks like we are meeting a Mr Regnum.

OPS_Mades says:
CO: It's coming up now, sir.  There are a few matches, let me sort through them.

Regnum says:
@::incoherently to himself:: Home, Home, Home

Regnum says:
<Glitch> @Regnum: Shut up!

CSO_KTor says:
CTO: Ah.

Regnum says:
@COM: Artemis: Can you bring me home?

CEO_Russel says:
::shakes his head and mumbles to himself.  Gathers his tools and storms out of the magazine room.::

OPS_Mades says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CO: This is interesting.  There are a few matches, one of them is a Victor Scott Regnum., Lieutenant.  Formerly of the USS Artemis.

CTO_Peters says:
CSO:  What kind of bio sign did you get on him?  Human?

CTO_Peters says:
::taps her combadge once again.::  CO/OPS:  Are we in position yet?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Interesting, this Lt Regnum must have been on the Artemis before I ever came aboard. Can you get a positive ID on the person on the surface?
