CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Standing at tactical.. Sensors on max... she is glad Topper is at TAC 2 for today.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Sitting at Science 1, helping Zoe monitor sensors::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::sitting in the center chair, arms draped over arms rests.:: 

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::In ME, going over the power levels and tweaking them to get the most.::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: ETA 5 Minutes to Jintara system captain.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: So, what did you discover about the survey team's mission on Jinatra?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::in sickbay.. checking inventory.. looking over the medical lab schedule and checking the bio-beds for repairs on a list of monthly maintenance::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CTO: Before we enter the system, are there any blind spots we should look out for?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Not much out of the ordinary Captain, they were conducting a geological and wildlife survey. They reported a discovery of some ancient ruins on the surface, other then that, perfectly routine.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CO:  Haven't found any yet... but Chief Topper is on the look out for any moons, asteriods, tachyon emmissions for cloaks...

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Ancient ruins?  Did they specify what technological advancement these ruins had?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::smiles at the list.. checking it off.. nothing seems out of place.. glad the CMO can take a break and not worry about the state of things.. puts the list away::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CTO: Good... Duty FCO: Take us into the system, and once in range enter standard orbit of Jintara...

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::takes a final look at his repair teams' assignments, making every major system is covered.::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Not very advanced from my interpretation of the reports, the last report indicated stone structures and crude writings.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Looks over at K'Tor::  CSO:  Topper is all yours for now......I think I'm stepping all over your department.  ::Grins::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Smiles back:: CTO: Yes sir.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CTO: Are your security teams in position?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Taps her console.::  *Rice*:  Lt Rice, are the tac teams in place...?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::goes about her daily routeen.. making note of any medications log out of the inventory in the last few weeks::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Bites her lower lip, as they enter the system.  She half expects to see a ship leap out of no-where at them.::

Duty FCO:
<FCO> CO : Coming up on Jintara, slowing to impulse...

Martin whispers to CTO_Peters:
ROFL !!  Nah, I'm sure he's pretty good ;-)     not as good as you said :-P <EG> but who is counting....

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
FCO: Enter orbit...  CSO: Begin scanning the surface for the survey team.

Host SM_Sergio says:
CO : ETA to Jintara IV orbit, 10 minutes.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: Yes sir.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
*CTO* Yes Ma'am...  I have two teams per deck...we are on an open comm... go to channel 3 and you can monitor.  So far everything is quiet.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Begins sweeping the planet::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CTO: Good work.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
Topper: Keep monitoring sensors for approaching vessels.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: I'm not picking up any humanoid life signs sir.

Topper:
CSO:  Aye Sir... So far nothing.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::runs yet another diagnostic on the sensor array, wanting to be sure that they have as much warning of anything out of the ordinary as possible::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
*Rice*:  Excellent... keep me apprised.  Peters out.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: Hmmm...any chance the sensor readings might not be accurate at this distance?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: It's possible we might not pick them up, especially if they're underground.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::checks on the shields, making sure they're at full power and ready to take whatever pirates could throw at them.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CSO:  Some kind of dampening field?  ::Just tossed out the first thing to enter her mind.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: If they are underground, any theories on how we might use the sensors to locate them?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: We would need to get closer, and do a more focused sweep to penetrate further underground, sir. It could take some time to cover the entire planet.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Opens channel 3 and listens to the chatter of her tac officers.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::walks down the hall and notices the extra security officers.. glances at them a moment and wonders what she missed during medical debreifing::

Security Officer:
::Nods at the cute medical lady.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: Understood.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Watches as Jintara IV slowly grows on the viewer.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::looks back at her padd and goes on.. shakes her head slightly::

Duty FCO:
::corrects their approach vector::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Tightens scans as the ship approaches the planet::

Topper:
::Widens his search criteria.::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CSO: What about the ruins, have you found any signs of them?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::takes a TL to deck 5 for some table space and hot chocolate in the mess hall::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::watches the OPS and CSO with interest.::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Sorry Captain, didn't mean to overstep, was just a thought.

Topper:
::his scanners start going wild...and he looks at K'Tor::  CSO:  Ummmm Sir, I think I've struck something.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: By all means, suggestions never hurt... CSO: Run your scans Mr. Ktor

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: Yes sir. ::Widens parameters to search for ruins::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
Topper: What is it?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::walks in the mess hall and finds more security officers.. two standing out side the door chatting about some dinner date and wearing a uniform.. sighs trying not to pay attention and heads for a place in the corner away from the chatter so she can read::

Duty FCO:
CO  : Entering Jintara IV orbit ma'am...

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Nods to the FCO and awaits the CSO and Toppers findings to make her next move.::

Jintara 4 is red and brown... Brown where land is, due to the plant life (yes, mainly brown) and red where the oceans are.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Glances back as his console beeps:: CO: I'm not getting the ruins either sir.

Topper:
CSO:  I've got four planets 3 of which have moons. We've got a Class K, Class Y, Class M and a Class J.  It's a Unary Red Star System... ::Checks the scans again... :: Hmmmm I've got an asteriod field approximate 3/4 of a KM wide...

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Did the mission files for the survey team give any coordinates for the ruins or their last location?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
Topper: That matches the database's profile for the system.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: They gave the coordinates for the base camp, but not the location of the ruins Captain.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Listens to what Topper says with interest.::  CO:  We got ourselves some hidey holes for pirates... most logical place is the asteroid field.. but any of the moons would do in a pinch...not to mention using the natural elements of the planets to hide behind.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Turns back to the captain:: CO: Sir, I'm picking up the campsite.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: Life signs?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::notes a slight deviation in the calibration of the ventral sensor array:: *CEO* OPS to Engineering.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: None.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CTO: Acknowledged

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Shudders at the thought of a demon class planet.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*OPS*:  Russel here, what can I do for you?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: And there's no other life signs on the planet?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: Other than indigenous flora and fauna, we've picked up no life signs yet sir.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: What are conditions like down there?  Do we need any protection?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
*CEO* The calibration of the Ventral sensor array is off by 0.0001°, can ya get someone to check on it for me?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::quickly scans thru a list of recent injuries and personnel medical inquires.. notices an entry on a Victor Regnum.. and listed as MIA.. then listed as OPS Officer.. current.. under ship counseling.. possible treatment for depression and other related symptoms...::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*OPS*:  I'll take care of it.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: The air is breathable, however the reports from the survey team mention an airborne element on the planet that results in skin irritation and rashes in humans. The report recommends preemptive treatment to prevent discomfort.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
*Rice*:  We are coming upon Jintara make sure everyone is on their toes.  Time to have all non essential personnel restricted to quarters.  Also one team on each floor to the critical areas of the ship, especially sickbay and engineering.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Send the files to the doctor on duty, and advise them we'll need a preventative treatment for an away team.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Aye Captain

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
*MO* OPS To Sickbay.

Rice:
*CTO*: Acknowledged...  ::Taps his console and sends out the orders.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::Grabs his engineering kit and heads for the turbolift.  Steps in.::  TL:  Deck 8.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::moves on down the list.. recent head injury.. someone broke a few fingers in engineering.. injured wrist.. from a turbo lift?.. pauses to look up:: *OPS* : yes?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::taps the chair arm:: *CEO* Farrel to Russel, we're going to need an away team, assemble whoever you need and start your search at the base camp.

Security Team:
::Enter Engineering and take up position inside the doors.  Phaser rifles at the ready.  Another team enter sickbay and take up position inside the door phaser rifles at the ready.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
*OPS*: the chief is taking the shift off and I'm not in sickbay.. but I am watching things.. do you need medical assistance?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CO*:  Er... aye, Captain.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
*MO* Doctor we are about to send an away team to the planet surface, however we have reports from the team that went before that an airborne agent can cause skin irritation, I'm sending the report to you now, can you make sure there is an appropriate analgesic ready for them?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CO:  Sir, I've moved the security to our next phase... all critical areas of the ship now have security stationed at them.  Non essential personnel have been restricted to quarters.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CTO: Good work.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
TL:  Deck 3. *EO_Smith*:  Russel to Smith.  The sensor array is un-calibrated, take care of it.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::saves her work and clears the PADD for the incoming file:: *OPS*: do you have any scan data available on the agent? ::watches the file load.. ::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CEO* Oh and one more thing, sickbay it preparing an analgesic cream for you that should prevent itching once you beam down to the surface ::suppresses a giggle.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CO*:  Understood.  Russel out.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
*MO* There is a lot of data on the agent and the treatment, but I don't understand a lick of it, I'll let you figure it out doc.

Topper:
CSO:  Sir, I've transferred all available data on the system and recent scans I've taken to your console.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CTO*:  Russel to Peters, meet me at TR1 for the away team.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
Topper: Thanks ::starts looking over the details of the star system::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::scrolls over the data and grins at his choice of words:: *OPS*: if you understood it I would be out of work.. hmm yes i can have this ready.. how soon do you need it?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Taps her comm. badge.:: *CEO*:  Aye Sir.. I'll be right there.  *Rice*:  Report to the bridge.  You have tactical.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
*MO* As soon as the away team shows up in sickbay for it.

Rice:
*CTO*:  I'm on my way.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
*OPS*: oh.. oh.. umm... right.. guess I better get back there then.. 

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*MO*:  Russel to Denizen.  Doctor, once you're done preparing the analgesic report to TR1 to join the away team.  You can have us apply it then.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Looks over to Topper::  Topper:  Rice is on his way up... ::Sighs::  Keep him out of trouble will ya?  ::Grins and moves to the TR.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: It is strange those ruins aren't showing on sensors...any thoughts? ::Walks up behind the science station, and rests an arm on KTor's chair.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
*CEO*: right sir.. on my way ::gets up and leaves her drink on the table untouched.. back to deck 4::

Topper:
CTO:  Aye Ma'am... Question though, why do you leave me all the hard stuff to do.... ::Sees Zoe wave at him as she enters the TL and Rice exits.::

Rice:
::Takes up position at tactical.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: If the team was attacked, they could have been destroyed.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CSO*:  Russel to K'Tor.  We're going to need a survey team, can you arrange to have them join us in TR1?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
*CEO*: Yes sir.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: Any evidence of an attack showing up?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Pulls up a roster and starts sending messages to people::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::steps off the TL on deck 3 and walks to the transporter room.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Computer: Transporter Room...  ::leans against the back wall as the transporter moves.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::rushes to sickbay and grabs up the chemicals, a spray version, a hypo version.. an allergy kit, med kit and AT gear.. and stumbles her way to the TL and the transporter.. witht he security officers watching with a blank stare::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Feeling the TL stop she exits heading for the transporter room.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: No sign of an attack on the base camp, I'm widening the scans now sir.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::waits in the TR for the rest of the team.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: Nothing obvious.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Nods and watches the CSO work, hoping in the back of her mind the away team will be safe.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Entering the TR she goes the the weapons lock up and pulls out phasers and a phaser rifle for her.  Hands a phaser to Matt.::  CEO: Here you go Sir.  So how is my desk>?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::walks in the TR and looks at everyone as they assemble.. sets things down int he corner and gets to mixing the chemicals::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::takes the phaser, smiling.::  CTO:  It fits nicely in my office.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: However, sir, I'm picking up Kebonite near the camp, which could be disrupting our sensors.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: Is that a naturally occurring mineral deposit?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Chuckles::  CEO: I just bet it does. ::Powers up her rifle.::  Oh did you find that nice little mouse trap in the bottom drawer?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::gets the spray ready in containers for each person to carry, prepares the hypos off the bio data for the AT members, and gets her kits ready to go::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::looks at the Doctor when she arrives, closely followed by the survey team with their sensor equipment.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  Yes, I did...

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Winks at Matt.::  CEO:  How is La'i doing?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: Probably.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::glances up at the CEO:: CEO: oh hi... this is for you.. ::hands him the small spray bottle:: keep this on you.. and this ::injects the hypo:: should keep you from itching

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: Is there any way to counter the effects of the kebonite, or increase the sensors accuracy?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  She's doing great, we've never been happier.  ::smiles::  MO:  Thanks , doc.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Hoists the rifle over her shoulder... makes sure the rest of the phasers are ready...::  MO:  Ahh there you are... here is your phaser... ::Passes out phasers to the survey team also.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::places the spray in his kit.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::looks at the phaser a moment and sets it on the floor:: CTO: thanks

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: I'll try narrowing the beam to penetrate, but it may not work.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Nods::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
ALL:  Alright, let's go.  ::motions to the transporter pad.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Makes it so::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::gives the AT their injections and spray bottles as they come in:: 

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::frowns:: MO:  Hmmmm my phasers don't like the floor doctor.. they tend to work better in the hands.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::grabs up her stuff and follows along still getting her things together:: CTO: sorry.. I got it.. just a lot to keep track of

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CTO:  I know that feeling...  So what is this cream you gave us?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
All: the injections should keep your skin from reacting.. in you do react.. use the spray on the area affected.. and if that doesn't work come see me.. I have another trick up my sleeve to try

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: I've got a few caves on a mountain. They could be hiding in one of them.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Steps up onto the transporter pad.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: Good work, inform the Away Team of the location of those caves

Rice:
::Narrows his scans for ships.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: Yes sir.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::waits for the doctor to step on the pad.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
*CEO*: K'Tor to Russel.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::finally gets the chance to get her gear in the right place and looks at the phaser.. with no pockets or belt loops left for it::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CSO*:  Russel here.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
*CEO*: Sir, I'm picking up a few caves on a mountain close to the camp. You might want to check them out. I'll send the coordinates to your tricorder.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
::steps up behind the CEO::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Transmits the coordinates::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CSO*:  Acknowledged.  Russel out.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: And, launch an atmospheric probe and have it sweep the base camp area at low-flight, maybe the closer proximity will detect something more...

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: Aye sir. ::Starts gathering scanning protocols for a probe::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::turns to the TR Chief.::  TRChief:  Beam us down to the survey team's last known location.  ::waits for the Chief to finish programming the transporter.::  Energize.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  Caves Sir..... Pirates love caves....  ::Feels her self dematerializing.::

Artemis drops it’s ventral shields, and the transport is initialized. The AT materialize safely on the planet.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::dematerializes.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::materializes on the planet.::

The air smells moldy...

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Transport complete captain, the team is down

…Though breathable.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Programs a probe to fly over the camp and around the mountain near the caves then do a rectangular search, and fires it::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: Probe launched sir.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
Rice: Raise the shields as soon as transport is complete.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
CTO: Pir.. ::disapears off the ship and then on the planet:: ...rates? ::blinks:: ewww stinky

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Brings her rifle to the ready... ::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: Telemetry coming in now.

Rice:
CO:  Aye Sir....  ::Raises shields again.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
@::looks around.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Acknowledged

The AT can see the base camp all around them

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Watches the probe fly slowly over the camp::

Three standard federation shelters, and lots of equipment in a storage house

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CEO:  I'll check out the tents and such Sir....  ::Begins to move to the nearest shelter.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::glances around and sticks the phaser in her pocket after removing the medical tricorder and begins a scan of the air and life forms and what is that smell?::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Put the visual feed coming from the probe on the main viewer...

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
@::nods at the CTO.::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: On viewer now ::brings the feed on screen::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
@Survey Team:  Begin checking out the perimeter.

The visual data of the probe looks funny.. It's like someone took a view of earth and applying a remove green spectrum filter.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Enters the first shelter cautiously.. she begins to overturn things that could be hiding places with her foot or the tip of her rifle.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
@MO:  You go with the CTO.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Looks at an aerial view of the camp, and sees the little dots that are Russel, Peters, and Denizen, and the survey team.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ All: what you smell is the fungi species that will make you itch if my hypo doesn't work.. it's in everything.. so if you have any problems.. ::sneezes.. sniff:: let me know as soon as possible.. 

Peters enters the shelter. In it, she finds a bunch of PADDs on desks, two bunks, some food rations.. Everything normal for a scientific survey

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Is there something wrong with the connection?  What's causing that distortion?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::She picks up the padds she found on the desk..looking for a satchel, she finds one on the floor, she dumps the padds into it.. the information maybe critical.::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: it's not a distortion

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
@::taps his comm. badge.::  *CO*:  Russel to Artemis.  We're at the camp.  Everything seems fine, for now.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Oh, looks ... like a cozy planet.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
@::takes out his tricorder and begins checking the area for clues to what may have happened.::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Cozy is not the way I would describe it mam, makes me glad the moon I was stuck on at least had proper foliage

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@:: moves on toward another dwelling and looks at her tricorder.. everything is coveredin bio signs.. the fungi/spores had taken up a dwelling on the buildings.. making then look dusty brown.. and some what fuzzy::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: I seriously doubt I would have survived 4 years here

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Watches the screen as the probe begins to fly towards the mountain::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CEO* Acknowledged.  Check in with us at regular intervals, we also have an atmospheric probe surveying the area in low flight should you need it's resources.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::She exits the shelter and brings the satchel over to Matt.:: CEO:  Here Sir, I found these padds in the shelter over there.. maybe there is something on there.. I'll leave these with you as I check out the other buildings.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Incoming transmission from Starfleet Command

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: The USS Jifer has engaged a pirate ship in this sector

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: I can't imagine having to even spend a couple weeks there... ::looks up alarmed::  Er, on screen.  ::moves back to the center chair::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
@:takes the PADDs from Peters and begins checking them out.::  CTO:  Thanks, Lt.  Keep checking.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Not a live feed mam, it's just a flash

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::puts on a rubber glove and pokes at the fuz ont he door frame.. letting her tri-corder record it's reaction.. the spore head turns to dust.. seems dead.. it doesn't like some chemicals on the plastics.. no.. it's a chemical.. not plastic.. some one treated the surface for the spores::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Nods and turns.  She walks approx another 10 meters to the next hut and enters.  She repeats what she did in the original shelter.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Ahh.  How far away is this engagement?  Do they require assistance?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: It didn't say if they needed any assistance, should I hail them?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Make it so

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ self: hmmm.. wipes her hand down the door frame and looks at the amount of accumulates fungi.. then notices places where it over came the chemical spray and leeched into the materials::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::enters the codes:: CO: Channel Open Captain

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
CO: Sir, I'm picking up a large cave network, but still no lifesigns. The probe can only scan four metres of rock though.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
COMM: USS Jifer:  This is the USS Artemis to the Jifer, to require assistance?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@::looks up at theCTO as she walks past.. decides not to study the spore any more and sneezes again::

OPS Grant:
#COMM Artemis : This is Lt Grant from the Jifer... Negative.. Someone told you to check up on us?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: Acknowledged.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
@::sits down on the ground and continues reading.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
COMM: Jifer: No, just thought we'd make sure you're alright...

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::hears the sneeze::  MO:  You ok Doctor?  If you are not busy can you grab any padd that could be lying around. Could be important.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@:: walks over to the CEO and scans his bio-signs just to make sure the hypo is working. then remembers she forgot to give her self one and feels silly..::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor :
::Takes manual control of the probe and flies it slowly past all the cave entrances, scanning inside them::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Turns and sees that the doctor has left... shrugs and picks up anything that might be useful.::

OPS Grant:
#COMM Artemis : Thank you for your concern.. The pirate ship is no match for us. They will be captured or destroyed in no time... Jifer out.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ takes the hypo and shrugs.. wonders if this spore/fungi or it's counter parts on this planet would have any effect on their nervous systems later.. dreads the idea::

Rice:
