Captain's log Stardate 10310.31.  The away team has been on the surface for almost an hour and continues its investigation of the survey team's base camp.  So far no sign of the team's fate has been found, the only conclusion is that they were taken from this world, or entered the nearby caves which can't be penetrated by sensors.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
::Sitting at Science 1, watching the probe fly back and forth:: CO: No sign of the team yet from the probe sir.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Exits the storage shed and looks around for Matt.  Frowns when she can't find him.::  MO:  Ens, you know what happened to the Cmdr?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CTO: no.. I just looked down at my tricorder and he was just talking to me.. sorry..

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
CO: We've covered a radius of 5km surrounding the campsite.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Um... well i do, but this time I didn't mam, its Glitch, I'm sorry

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: Acknowledged.  OPS: What's the status of our transporter lock on the away team members?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO:  Can you scan for him please?  ::Taps her com badge.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@*CO*:  Capt, strange question, did Cmdr Russell return to the ship?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CTO: I thought he was.. ::looks around:: just here... hmm sure.. ::adjust her tricorder for humanoid life signs and blanks out all the fungi around them::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CTO* Away team, Russel did not return to the ship...

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::steps a few paces as she watches her tricorder:: CTO: sir.. i think I have something..

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@*CO*:  Understood.  We are beginning a search.  I'll report back as soon as I find something.   ::Looks at the good doctor.::

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::finishes up the paperwork with a sigh and runs a tired hand through her hair::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: We are maintaining positive lock

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Do we still have a lock on commander Russel?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Yes Captain

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Shoulders her rifle::  MO:  Ok Doctor what do you have?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Relay his position to the Lt. Peters

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::takes a few more steps and the tricorder beeps wildly:: CTO: I think I have him.. but his life signs are.. that can't be right.. this says he is injured.. ::points:: I'm getting the readings in that direction

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::nods:: MO: Ok, let's get to him.  Why would he go off on his own without telling anyone?  ::heads in the direction the Doctor pointed.::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
*CTO* Artemis to Lieutenant Peters, you should find CEO about 50 meters to the north of you

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::wonders how the away team is making out::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::starts walking that direction after the CTO:: CTO: I don't know... do you think.. we are not alone like it seems.. maybe we can't read who ever is here with our equipment.. 

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Paces the bridge worried::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Taps combadge::  *OPS*:  We got him.  The Doctor says he is injured, please inform sickbay to prepare for wounded.  Also could you have Mr. K'Tor beamed down to replace the Cmdr and the Doctor?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Frowns::  MO:  Possible very possible...  I don't like it.  ::Slowly continues to walk... she sees something in the distance..::  There...there he is.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
*CTO* Acknowledged.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CSO: Your presence is requested on the surface

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ :: puts her tricorder away and begins to dig for her medical kit:: CTO: how did he get out here?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
CO: I'll get down there now sir?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
*Sickbay* Sickbay prepare for injured

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CSO: Yes, as quickly as you can.  

Duty Mo:
*CO* : Aye ma'am.. We'll be ready

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@*MO*:  That and without us noticing him leaving.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
::Nods and steps into the TL:: TL: Deck 4.

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::puts down her padd and walks out to the turbo lift::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::stands over the command chair, and taps the arm pad:: *CTO* Any indication what happened to him?  

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
::Steps out and heads down the hallway towards sickbay to pick up the vaccine::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@*CO*:  No as of yet.  We are just reaching his body now.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::bends down and checks out the CEO:: CTO: he's stable enough for transport.. but we need to get him up

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO:  You're the expert.  Do what you need to do.

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::arrives at the bridge and looks around assessing the situation before taking a seat:

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Nods as the counselor arrives, and stands listening in on the away team through an open comm.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ *Sickbay*: one ready for transport.. get him to ward 3 for emergency trauma.. ::steps back for the transport::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Stands back::  MO:  What happened to him?

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::nods at the CO::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::monitors the transport of the CEO directly to sickbay::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
::Steps through the door of sickbay::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Taps her com badge once more::  *CO*:  Capt, Cmdr Russel has been transported back to the ship.  ::Her hand snaps around to her back and she tries to scratch an itch at the base of her spine.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
::Jumps as the CEO suddenly appears nearby::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CTO* Any indication he was attacked?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CTO: I don't know besides the extent of his injuries.. it's nothing sickbay can't handle.. but he is luck we found him.. attacked maybe but by what is the question ..and how did he get out here in just a few moments..?

A few Medical officer surround the CEO as soon as he is beamed up, while another one administers the vaccine to the CSO

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
Acting MO: Thanks. ::Heads back to the turbolift::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@*CO*: Possible attack according to the Doctor but don't know by what.   ::She squirms a bit because the itch is not abating.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::watches the CTO scratch and wonders if the medication is wearing off.. looks around the area::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
::Enters:: TL: Deck 3. ::Walks down to the transporter room::

A tricorder beeps an alarm. The concentration of airborne spores is highest in the region the AT is on right now.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Pauses in thought, then decides::  *CTO* Continue your investigation, if your finished investigating base camp, move on to the caves.  And be careful.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Drops her rifle::  MO:  Ummmmmm doctor....  ::Begins scratching her arms, now has an itch at the bottom of her foot.::

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::thinks the CTO sounds stressed::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CTO: are you alright? ::scratches her leg with her foot.. :: what’s this? ::bends down to pull her pant leg up:: this shouldn't be happening..

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
*CO*: Ready to beam down captain. Any special equipment?

A large brown tree can be seen close by

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@*CO*:  Understood.  Heading back to base camp now.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO:  Doctor lets get back to camp and figure out what is going on.. and maybe put on some of that handy dandy cream you brought.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::looks at her tricorder:: CTO: oh.. we need to get away from here.. ::follows the readings and looks at a funny brown.. dried up looking tree of some kind.. :: 

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Her body itches all over...  tears off her tunic::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CSO* As long as your got vaccinated for the itching spores, your fine.  Just take a phaser and a tricorder.  

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

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::is getting concerned::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CTO: I don't think the cream will help.. sir.. you should put that back on...

The CTO's rash becomes evident now.. And worsens as she takes off her tunic

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO:  Hurts too much..... lets move ::Picks up her rifle and heads back to camp.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::grabs the CTO's discarded cloths and follows::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
::Grabs a phaser rifle from the locker and steps onto the pad:: *OPS*: Beam me to the away team's position please Mr. Regnum.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
*CSO* Acknowledged ::transfers beam down coordinates to the Transporter Chief and instructs him to energize::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::fumbles for the spray bottle and her medical kit burn pack:: CTO: keep moving.. reading indicate.. that dried up looking thing was the source.. 

The CSO gets transported

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Sees the base camp and breaks into a run:: MO:  What was that dried up looking thing?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Sighs and takes a seat.::  OPS: So...Glitch...sings?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Appears nearby a bunch of running people and just runs with them::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Sees K'Tor::  CSO:  Nice of you to join us Lt...  Don't mind us we are outrunning a dead tree.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@CTO: some kind of plant life! ::yells after the CTO since she isn't running that fast.. too busy looking at her tricorder and applying the burn wipes to remove the spores from her exposed skin::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Technically speaking he wasn't singing, he was playing back a recording he downloaded from earth's cultural database, he likes to do that to make fun of a situation

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: Yes........ sir. ::Raises an eyebrow at that last comment::

Duty MO:
*CO* : Captain.. We've isolated the cause... The CEO had a severe allergic reaction to the native spores. The concentration on his skin was enormous.. He'll need a few hours to recover from it..

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::wondering how the Jifer is faring against the pirates:: CO: Request permission to contact the Jifer for a status report on the pirates mam. I'd really like to know what we may be up against, especially with the CTO down on the planet

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Reaches the camp and heads into the nearest shelter... breaking in... she looks for water.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Suppresses a giggle, then tries to be as serious as she can.:: OPS: I see, well I trust Glitch won't be having anymore song outbursts on the bridge?

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::thinks the itching must be driving them all crazy::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::catches up with the CTO and glances up at the CSO for a moment.. sprays the tunic with her entire bottle of medicine to kill the spores.. then goes back to her burn it to wipe the rest of them off her face and neck::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: I hope not captain, I won't bring him to the bridge anymore.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*Sickbay* thank you sickbay...

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO: Perhaps you could elaborate doctor? A dead tree?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Finds a gerry can of water and pours it over her.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::nods in agreement to Regnum.:: OPS: Good to hear...and permission granted to check in on the Jifer.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::looks at the CSO:: CSO: we didn't get close enough to get a good reading.. it's.. to dangerous with out an EVA suite to get close enough to get a good evaluation of the specimen sir..

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
COMM: Jifer: Artemis to Jifer, just wondering how you are fairing against the Pirates.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO: I see. Some kind of allergic reaction, it appears.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::hands the CTO back her tunic and smiles:: CTO: it's full of the spore killer.. it will protect you from any more of those buggers and kill the ones you missed with that grungy water

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::exits the shelter all wet...sees the MO has her jacket.:: MO:  Doctor can I have my tunic?  ::looks at T'Kor..::  CSO:  Please have some EVA suits beamed down... ::Drops to the ground and sighs.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CSO: yes.. an extreme irritant to mammals.. might be why we don't see many on the surface.. 

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Takes the Tunic::  MO:  Thank you my dear.. Remind me to put you in for the golden hypospray award.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: Yes sir. *CO*: Sir, the CTO asked me to have EVA suits beamed down for the away team.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Slips on her tunic.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::looks over to the chair beside her:: CNS: So, how far do your telepathic abilities extend counselor?

Jifer OPS Officer Grant:
#COMM Artemis : We are just about to mop up. The ship is heavily damaged, and she can't outrun us... ::pauses for a moment:: What tha?? CO : Captain... Three new contacts... Bearing 356 mark 12.. They don't look friendly... OPS : Sorry Lt.. I have to go.. Things are liable to get a lot hotter around here.. Jifer out.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CTO: thanks... I think.. the spore seems to react with the oils and fats in the skin and tissue linings in the mucus membranes.. Seems to like some of the stuff we are made of.. peachy

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CSO* Acknowledged, better call Mr. Regnum for that request, he's in charge of equipments.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO:  Hypothesize... Could this spore let say eaten the team?

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::looks at the CO::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: sounds like they are not doing that well

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Gets back to her feet.::  All:  Once the suits arrive we will head for the caves.  ::ponders about bringing more security down::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
*CO*: Yes sir. *OPS*: Mr. Regnum, could you have three environment suits beamed down?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: How fast could we be at the position at max warp?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CTO: well.. worst case.. they could have eaten the team if they didn’t know how to remove it.. just like any fungi will eventually consume all available food.. but.. if I had to guess.. just acting alone.. no

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::nods:: MO:  Ok then, they needed to escape this spore...where would you go... the caves.. I think it would be our best bet.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
*CSO* They are on their way ::enters in the requisition form::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@CTO: I think we should go back tot he ship for decontamination first.. the suites won’t be any good if we seal the spores in there with us...

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Approximately 20 minutes captain

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Try hailing them again, ask them if they need assistance.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Ponders that for a moment.::  MO:  Normally I would agree with you but I got a bad feeling here.. beam down whatever you need to decontaminate us... we move out in 15.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Channel Open

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Pinches the bridge of her nose.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ the caves.. maybe.. but somethign water sealed would be better.. like a cave with a air pocket you have to go under water to get to.. 

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
COMM: Jifer: Artemis to Jifer, do you need assistance?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CTO: if you say so.. ::contacts sickbay and has a series of kits beamed down::

No reply... Maybe the Jifer OPS officer is busy with something else?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: No response

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO:  K'Tor... thoughts?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Scan that sector, what's the status of Jifer?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: They are out of normal sensor range

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: I agree that a water-sealed pocket of air would be ideal, but, as we haven't seen anything nearby, the caves should protect the survey team a little assuming they're far enough inside.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::walks over to the kits from the ship and sorts a few things out.. gets a EVA suite out and sprays the inside down with fungicide and then goes over to the CTO::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
Rice: Threat assessment. If three more small pirate ships were to attack Jifer, would she be a match?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@CTO: here.. you first... this will do the trick.. but you had better report to sickbay for decontamination ASAP.. this stuff will keep you safe from the fungi but it's not gthat good for you either

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO/MO:  Ok let’s hope that is what we find.  I'll take point....

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: At this range I can only tell you that they are surrounded by 3 ships and are engaged in combat

Rice:
CO:  The Jifer would be in one heck of a fight.  They maybe able to hold their own depending on the type of ships.  If they were the same class..

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::prepares another suite for the CSO:: CSO: same goes for you.. ::hands it over:: here you go.. 

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Their status is indeterminate at this range

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Nods to the doctor and starts putting on the EVA::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO:  Understood Doctor.   ::Takes the EVA suit and suits up.::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@CTO/CSO: if either of you feel burning, itching, or dizziness.. go straight back to the ship.. got it?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Sits back considering:: Rice: What is the crew compliment of the USS Jifer?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::tries hailing the Jifer again, same message asking if they need assistance::

Rice:
CO:  Checking....... hmmmmm The Jifer is a Nova Class.... 175 crew compliment.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO: Do you know if there could be other effects on the Vulcan physiology doctor?

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::waits for the captain to make a spectacular move of some sort.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Any other ships in range that can assist them?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CSO: from the drugs or the fungus?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO: Either.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: None Captain, we are the closest ship I can find

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Doesn't answer the doctor.::  CSO/MO:  Everyone ready?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Nods to Peters::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::puts on her suite:: CSO: the drugs are the same.. the spores. I don't know.. 

Incoming priority message.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Priority Message coming in

Jifer OPS Officer Grant:
#COMM Federation ships : To all ships on the vicinity, this is the USS Jifer requesting assistance.. We are under attack by a pirate force of three ships.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::notes the CTO's stubbornness and looks at her deciding to keep an eye on her because her rash could make any effects from the drugs worse::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Picks up her rifle once more and double checks the directions of the caves.  Checking to see that K'Tor and the good Doctor are with her. and heads out.::

Jifer OPS Officer Grant:
#COMM Federation ships : We are sustaining heavy damage. We are trying to escape the area, but our warp engine has received damaged

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Follows behind the CTO, tricorder in hand scanning for the team::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::zips up her suite:: CTO: yep.. CSO: are all the survey crews equipment and food accounted for.. is any missing.. maybe something with a signature we can track?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Captain.... We've got to help them.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Inform the shuttle bay, I want our three type 10 shuttles to remain in orbit and provide sky-cover for the away team...

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO: I don't know, it would take a while to figure that out. I'm not noticing anything unusual though.

Jifer OPS Officer Grant:
#COMM USS Artemis : USS Artemis, we are in need of assistance.. Please respond..

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::wonders if there will be an alive Away Team when they return::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Aye Captain ::contacts the shuttle bay and has the shuttles deployed::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Inform Jifer we are on our way

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
COMM: Jifer: Artemis to Jifer, we read you, we are on our way.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Shuttles away captain

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CTO* Away team, we've picked up a distress call from a federation vessel 20 minutes away. Continue your investigation until we return, I’m launching the type 10 shuttles to give you sky-support.

Jifer OPS Officer Grant:
#COMM Artemis : Hurry...

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CSO: maybe it won't be something unusual we should look for but something normal for the situation.. like a panicked team running to die later from starvation.. or maybe they were simply take for one reason or the other but another non-terrestrial group..

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CO:  You are leaving us Sir!  ::Bites back a bit of panic::  Ummm Understood.  We should be ok here.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CTO* We will be back soon, good hunting. Artemis out.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO/MO:  Hmmm Did anyone think to bring water?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@*CO*:  Good Luck Sir.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Looks over to OPS:: OPS: Assume helm control and engage course at max warp.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Intercept course plotted and laid in sir.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::shakes her head no::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::Engages maximum warp::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO: The entire camp seems to have been abandoned, unplanned but not chaotically. Nothing was really disturbed like there was a fight or people were running.

The Artemis breaks orbit and speeds away to help the Jifer.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CTO/CSO: you have more to worry about if the drugs get too saturated in your blood.. 

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO/MO:  We are on our own... The Artemis is responding to a distress call about 20 minutes away probably the Jifer.   We do have some shuttles in the air if need be.  Doctor do you think it is wise we bring one down in case?

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CSO: transported away maybe?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO: Possibly, but there are signs they left the camp on the ground.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@CTO: yes.. we might need emergency medical transport if the drugs go badly or we find someone lese here.. or we get shot

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CSO: under mind control?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Taps arm pad:: *Ship wide* All hands, battle stations  ::hears her voice echo through the ship and motions rice to trigger red alert::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Nods::  *Shuttles*:  This is Lt Peters.  I'd like one of the shuttles down on the surface.  We are heading towards the caves.  Nobody is to exit the shuttle.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO: That would be impossible to tell right now.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
COMM: Jiffer: We are coming as fast as we can, would be their sooner if you hadn't declined our assistance previously.

Lt Vujal:
$*CTO* : Acknowledged. We'll send the Leto down at base camp.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Mutters:: *Leto*:  Lt, please lock onto the Doctor, T'Kor and myself and transport us to the mouth of the caves...  I just don't want to walk today.  We always seem to be walking.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CNS: Penny for your thoughts?  You seem worried...

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::looks over at the CO::

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
CO: Just feeling....a bit uneasy, Sir. Could this all be a set up of some sort?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Stops walking and waits for the familiar dematerializing process.::  CSO/MO:  Why walk when we can hitch a ride.

Lt Vujal:
$*CTO* : Aye ma'am.. Engaging now..

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Frowns at the CNS point.:: ops: The counselor could be on to something, verify the Jifer's transponder signals...is it really her?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: Indeed.

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::sighs and holds the comment on the crew needing exercise and the use of resources that are not needed for important things::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Verified, it is the Jifer mam

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Feels the transporter take hold.::

The cave entrance is fairly large...

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::scans for life signs::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Resets his tricorder and starts scanning around for the team::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: What do we know about the region in which the battle is taking place?  I want to know what features the "battle field" has...

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Looks for hiding spots and steps just inside the cave.. she activates her wrist flash light.:

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::follows the CTO.. realizing she forgot one of those::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Steps into the cave after Zoe; turns on his flashlight and keeps scanning::

The cave's walls are of stone, but small glinting lights betray the high metal content in them.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::mumbles something to the effect of "of all the times for the CTO to be spelunking":: CO: Open space captain

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CSO: I can't get a clear reading beyond visual range

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO:  Is there a dampening field around here?

Rice:
CO:  Capt Phasers are fully charged and all torpedo tubes loaded.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Hmmm... ::wishes she had something to work with:: mask our approach as best you can.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: That won't be easy captain; they most likely already know we are coming

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@::pauses and just stands there.. feeling funny.. light headed..:: self: oh dear.. look much meds.. snap out of it Canara.. hmm

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Stares at the stars screaming by on the main viewer, thinking "I've never commanded a starship in a battle before."::

Incoming scans of the battle field show the damage to the Jifer, and the class of the attacking ships... Peregrine class fighters.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO/CTO: There's a large deposit of Kelbonite in the area, it's limiting our scans.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: More sensor data coming in, the Jifer has sustained heavy damage

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ ::finds a place to sit down a moment::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: The attackers are Peregrine class fighters

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::runs as she hears the doctor move:: MO:  Doctor you alright?

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::looks horrified before she manages to school her expression::

MO Ens Canara Lee Denizen:
@ CTO: SURE! ::looks at the CTO.. she's kind of fuzzy:: how are you? ohh ::feels her body get loose::
