Host CO_Farrel says:
Captain's log stardate 10312.05.  We will be arriving at Jintara IV shortly.  I am sending another team down to locate the original missing team, and our own away team whom have also gone missing.  From the information I have been receiving, it looks as though both teams activated some kind of alien transporter.  Hopefully the third team can find a way to bring them back...

CTO_Peters says:
@::Has finished scouring the local area for wood and now has it all in a neat pile to bring back with her.  She turns her attention to K'Tor.::

CMO_Russel says:
::Heading for the bridge.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
DutyFCO: Enter standard orbit of Jintara IV

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: Well, I've tried all the safe ways of wiring things up.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::As the ship enters orbit, she turns to OPS:: OPS: Mr. Regnum, I would like you to report to the caves, and figure out what has happened to our teams...

CTO_Peters says:
@::Has a cup of water in her hand and hands it to him.::  CSO:  And what is the verdict?

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: I'd like to make one last attempt - if that fails, we'll be trapped here with no power, and it's dangerous to try, but I think it's all we've got.

CSO_KTor says:
@::Takes the cup:: CTO: Thanks.

OPS_Regnum says:
CO: Aye Captain, I have my test equipment ready

Jogab says:
@::drinks some water near the AT::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Slowly nods::  CSO:  Then we have no choice.. try it then if it doesn't work we hope the ship finds us.

Host CO_Farrel says:
OPS: Acknowledged, depart as soon as possible.

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab:  Cmdr, looks like you may have some permanent guests after all.  ::sighs:;

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: Alright... we'll wire the phasers together and try to trigger the device with a pulse of power. It could be dangerous, so maybe only two of us should go, and the rest can stay outside.

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: We'll bring back a generator for the survey team.

CMO_Russel says:
::Steps from the turbolift onto the bridge glancing around before heading towards the Hali.::

Jogab says:
@CTO:I was hoping we all would be able to get out of here.

OPS_Regnum says:
::gives a nod and exits the bridge to head to the Transporter Room where his gear is waiting::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Sighs and thinks the bridge is starting to look a bit empty::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Nods::  CSO:  You and Jogab go.  At least he can explain to the Capt what happened in the first place.

CSO_KTor says:
@Jogab: It should only be a matter of a couple more hours or possibly days before the Artemis can beam down a generator and we'll come back for everyone.

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: Aye sir.

CMO_Russel says:
::Picking up on her friend’s mood::  CO:  What am I, chopped sagorum?  ::Shakes head::  One of these days I am going to get used to you in that uniform.

Jogab says:
@CSO:  You are absolutely sure?

CSO_KTor says:
@Jogab: Sure? Of what? That we won't be killed by this attempt? No, I can't guarantee anything. This is our best chance.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Giggles, not realizing that La'i was behind her::  CMO: So, how are the Jifer casualties?

Jogab says:
@CSO:  Hey I always wanted to be blown to bits lets do it.

CSO_KTor says:
@Jogab: Right. Well... let's go then. @CTO: I'll come back for you as soon as possible sir.

CMO_Russel says:
CO:  They are doing fine.  All but one is out of critical.  I have a few left in sickbay to keep an eye on.  The rest are resting in quarters that OPS found for them.

Jogab says:
@::Walks toward the device::

Host CO_Farrel says:
CMO: Good...how many did we loose? ::She sits, and motions the doctor to the seat beside her::

OPS_Regnum says:
$::beams down to the surface at the mouth of the cave with Glitch and some equipment and enters the cave::

Jogab says:
@CSO:  Hurry Up.

CSO_KTor says:
@::Comes up beside Jogab:: Jogab: Here, patch these power cells together, I'll get the phaser ready.

Jogab says:
@::patches the cells together::

CSO_KTor says:
@::Starts reconfiguring Zoe's phaser for a partial overload followed by thermal release::

CMO_Russel says:
::Takes the seat::  CO: The Jifer lost 62 total.  ::Frowns::  We lost 11 in the end.

Jogab says:
@CSO:  What are our odds of making it?

Host CO_Farrel says:
CMO: 73...that is a lot... ::Frowns::

CSO_KTor says:
@Jogab: 1 in 2.13 of successfully transporting. 1 in 10.8 of being seriously injured in the attempt.

CSO_KTor says:
@::Takes the power cable from the cells and patches it into the phaser::

Jogab says:
@CSO:  Well you only live once.

CMO_Russel says:
CO:  Too many....  one was a child.  Purely accidental... wrong time, wrong place.  It makes me wonder again about the wisdom of families aboard starships.

Jogab says:
@CSO:  Sounds like fun.

CSO_KTor says:
@Jogab: OK, you stand beside the device and hold down the "Farther" button. I'll shoot the power supply unit.

Jogab says:
@::does as he is told::

Host CO_Farrel says:
CMO: A child?  ::Sighs::  And to think one of the men who did this lies in our sickbay, safe and cozy.

CMO_Russel says:
::Quietly::  CO:  You did what you had to.  That man will eventually get his dues, just not yet.

CSO_KTor says:
@::Sets the phaser for narrow beam, takes aim, and fires::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Stands back and watches the two men intently.::

OPS_Regnum says:
$::enters the chamber in question:: Glitch: Ok Glitch, they were trying to decipher this console when last we heard from them.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The power packs glow, releasing its heat. The Device glows red for a second, then goes back to normal.

Jogab says:
@CSO:  What happened?

Host CO_Farrel says:
CMO: Yes... ::Not sounding sure::  You should know, were considering a new security protocol, to prevent what happened to you from happening again.  Would you agree with holding a potentially hostile patient in the transporter buffer until a security guard is at the ready in sickbay?

CSO_KTor says:
@Jogab: Apparently nothing.

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  What is going on?  ::Watches the glow diminish::

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO/CSO: Had we transported, we'd see the Starfleet generator you left in the other room right now.

CSO_KTor says:
<edit @CTO/Jogab>

Glitch says:
$OPS: Yes, I should be able to determine a translation with my interface the same way they did, it might take a few moments.

Jogab says:
@CSO:  Well we had a chance and now we are stuck.

CSO_KTor says:
@All: Let's just take everything apart and use what power we have left to sustain ourselves.

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO/Jogab:  Ok then, looks like we are stuck until we can be rescued.  ::Turns to Jogab::  What kind of set up do you have?

CMO_Russel says:
::Sighs::  CO:  That was pure... I would say stupidity on my part.  But I was positive the man was out and would be for awhile.  I still don't know how I could have been so wrong.  ::Reaches up to her neck in memory, her eyes slightly unfocussed, then turns to look at Hali::  CO:  I see no problem with your idea.  <c>

CMO_Russel says:
It is not as if they would be there for long.

CSO_KTor says:
@All: Maybe I can disassemble the device and see if I can get something going, even just to beam a piece of paper to the Artemis' team that is no doubt going to be looking for us soon.

Jogab says:
@CTO/CSO:  We got a hunting party, a garden and we were trying to build a windmill for power.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::nods, seeing a glimmer of trauma in La'i's eyes as she reaches for her neck:: CMO: I'll have the new protocol logged then.

CSO_KTor says:
@All: We should probably get back to camp now.

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  K'Tor... I think we have exhausted all avenues for now.  Unless we can find another power source on this planet.....::Stops for a second.::  You still have power in your tricorder?

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: Nope, I added it to the power cell bank just now.

Jogab says:
@ALL:  It’s getting close to night the predators will be out soon.

CMO_Russel says:
::Nods, putting the memory aside.  She had seen and dealt with worse.  It was her confidence in her medical knowledge that had taken a slight blow.::  CO:  Did you want to talk to the girl’s mother?  ::Shakes head::  She is an odd one... in my humble opinion.

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: I didn't completely discharge everything; I only used the maximum power the phaser can handle.

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  Ok, what minerals produce power?  This planet has not been built up... ::nods at Jogab::  There must be some raw power sources.   These devices worked without SF generators once before.

Glitch says:
$OPS: Um...

CSO_KTor says:
@All: Jogab, you said you were building a wind power plant. That seems like the best approach.

OPS_Regnum says:
$Glitch: What is it Glitch?

CSO_KTor says:
@All: I doubt we'll be able to mine any charged sarium-krellide here.

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  No we just need to find out what the former inhabitants used.

Glitch says:
$OPS: I was going on the assumption that the translation matrix was left behind, wherever the team went, it looks like they took it with them, I can't translate this without more data

Jogab says:
@CSO:  Yes but we must get  the parts we have quickly.

Jogab says:
@:CSO:  Move it and finish it.

CSO_KTor says:
@::Nods and starts gathering up the mess of power cells on the floor::

Host CO_Farrel says:
CMO: I...don't think I could talk to her.  ::frowns, trying to hide her feelings.::

Jogab says:
@CSO:  And hook it up to the thing.

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab:  You said the predators will be coming out.. any searching can wait for morning...  We can map out a search grid tonight.

Jogab says:
@CTO:  Agreed.

CMO_Russel says:
::Tilts her head and looks at Hali deeply in the eyes, waiting for her to tell her why.::

CSO_KTor says:
@::Stands up:: All: I'm done here.

Jogab says:
@ALL:  Since I am the highest ranking officer I would like to welcome you to the jungle.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Sighs, and tried not to look directly into La'i's searching eyes.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Smiles::  Jogab:  Thank you...especially since we've been here for over 6 hours.

OPS_Regnum says:
$::sighs:: Glitch: It couldn't just be easy could it, ok let's see what we can find in this area to help us.

Jogab says:
@::hurries to camp::

CSO_KTor says:
@::Follows along::

CMO_Russel says:
CO:  Hali...  ::Says nothing more.::

Jogab says:
@::Arrives at the camp and sees the others waiting::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Stumbles back into camp::  Jogab:  So where do you want K'Tor and I to set up?

OPS_Regnum says:
$::wonders if transport and comm enhancers in this area would allow him to regain more direct contact with the Artemis::

CMO_Russel says:
::Lays a gentle hand on Hali's arms, feeling the waves of guilt rolling from her, but not quite sure why.::

Jogab says:
@CTO:  Anywhere lets get it done.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Stops for a moment::  Jogab:  Anywhere?  You don't have sleeping quarters or such?

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Swallows and looks to the viewscreen:: CMO: There are just some things...that I can't talk about anymore...  ::Pauses:: It would mean putting you in a conflict of interest...

OPS_Regnum says:
$Glitch: Glitch, if I setup comm relays along the path from here to the cave entrance, would I be able to relay comm signals back to the Artemis?

Jogab says:
@CTO:  In the cottage.  I thought you were talking about where you wanted to set up your gear.

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab:  It's not as if we have a lot of stuff.. we basically just brought the two of us.

Jogab says:
@CTO:  Well while the CSO works on the grid and the others are out hunting me and you will finish the windmill.

CTO_Peters says:
Jogab:  errrr Jogab, I thought the predators were coming out... wouldn't that be a bit dangerous?

Glitch says:
$OPS: Based on the density of this rock, you'd have to place them every 20 meters.

OPS_Regnum says:
$Glitch: And how many meters is it from here to the cave entrance?

Jogab says:
@CTO:  We got two others staying out for Guard duty and the others are going to kill something before the sun goes down.

CMO_Russel says:
::Leans over quietly::  CO:  Hali... listen.  ::Walks carefully with her words.:: As captain, you are going to often find yourself in untenable positions.  But you need to remember, that even as captain you need to talk to someone.  You have been and are my friend.  You have always been there for me and I hope I will be there for you.

Glitch says:
$OPS: 300 meters. You would need 15 comm relays.

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab:  Then it's time to hunker down for the night don't you think?  ::Looks at him strangely::   The windmill won't make a difference right now.  ::looks at K'Tor::

CMO_Russel says:
CO: Just because we might not agree or it might upset me, please... don't keep me out.  Let me be there for you.

Jogab says:
@CTO:  You wanna eat don't you?

OPS_Regnum says:
$Glitch: It's exactly 300 meters, what are the odds of that?

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab:  I didn't say that.. food is a necessity... windmill can wait one night.

Glitch says:
$OPS: Oh fine, I rounded ok, it's 289 meters, you still need 15 relays.

CSO_KTor says:
@::Stands expressionlessly listening to Jogab and Peters::

Jogab says:
@CTO:  There  is nothing to do except wait for them to bring the food. They have it under control.  While we wait for them we can use the time to finish what we need to do.

OPS_Regnum says:
$::gets started placing down relays, hoping this plan would work he had brought several relays with him in a duffel bag, but not quite enough, he'll have to get more after placing these::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Looks around, seeing no telepaths on duty::  ~~~CMO: I made a plea bargin with Quill...I would get him a reduced sentence, in exchange for the location of the pirate base.  I just...after hearing how many he helped kill....73; and a child!  How many lives is this information worth La'i?~~

CTO_Peters says:
@::Looks at Jogab thoughtfully::  Jogab:  Then it's a good time to map out a search grid...  There maybe even safer places then this with ready power sources.  How far have you searched?

Jogab says:
@CTO:  Not real far only the distances it would take us to travel for half a day and get back before sunset.

CMO_Russel says:
~~~~CO:  The counselor and I talked.  I figured as much.  Keep in mind; you did not do those killings.  The deaths were before the fact.  And hopefully the price you are paying will be the lives of innocents out there.  So no other child or adult or living thing must visit death before his or her time.  That man is not free... and never will be.~~~~

CSO_KTor says:
@Jogab: Have you found anything of use?

OPS_Regnum says:
$::Finishes placing the last of the 12 relays he brought with him so he heads to the exit to contact the Artemis to request for more relays to be beamed down to him:: COMM: Artemis: Regnum to Artemis.

Jogab says:
@CSO:  No.

Host CO_Farrel says:
~~CMO: But he will not receive a life sentence...one day he may be free.  Unless...unless I destroy the counselor's notes...those were the only records taken.~~  ::Looks over to her friend::  ~~I've been considering using the information he gave us, and not giving him the plea bargin...that is the conflict of interest I was worried about.  Perhaps, we could say we procured the information elsewhere?  Maybe it was on his ship, and w

Host CO_Farrel says:
<DutyOPS> COMM: Regnum: Artemis here.

OPS_Regnum says:
$COMM: Artemis: I need 3 comm relay units beamed down to my current location

CSO_KTor says:
@All: I suggest we finish the wind generator; maybe it can get us enough power to transport. Also, have you observed any thunderstorms in your time here?

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab:  I guess it's time to widen the search area.  ::Steps away indicating for K'Tor to follow her.:;

Jogab says:
@CSO:  Yes And it is always very windy at night.

CSO_KTor says:
@::Follows Zoe:: Jogab: We should be able to charge our cells with lightning.

Host CO_Farrel says:
<DutyOPS> COMM:OPS: Beaming them down now... ::Initiates transport to Regnum's location

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab::  So....you want to build a windmill during the windiest part of the day... interesting.

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  What is it about this area that he is so attached to?

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: What do you mean? It's a reasonable location for a campsite.

OPS_Regnum says:
$::receives them and then goes to set them up to complete the chain::

Jogab says:
@CTO:  Hey We are close to the device.  We fought the beasts and died here defending it.  There used to be more of us.  We don't want to abandon it.

CMO_Russel says:
~~~~CO:  Hali... you are going to have to do many things that you don't want to as both a captain and a Starfleet officer.  When you can, you must stay true to yourself, or you will lose yourself.  If that man, that pirate is worth losing part of yourself that you may one day need for something more important, then I will back you all the way on this.~~~~

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  Yes it is, but he should have widened the area by now.  What is he hiding from us?  What are the dangers if we move to far away from here...  There is a whole planet for exploration and you can't stand there and tell me this is the only place to set up camp.

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: I agree that staying near the device is our best hope for a rescue team to find us.

OPS_Regnum says:
$::finishes and heads back to chamber and attempts his comm badge:: COMM: Artemis: Regnum to Artemis, can you hear me?

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  If we can get it working... I'm not saying everyone pack up and leave.  There is more then one person here.  There is no guarantee that the Artemis is going to decipher those markings.  We brought the notes with us remember.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Breaths deeply and says aloud:: CMO: Thank-you... 

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: You think we should split into smaller groups?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Regnum's communications reaches the Artemis, but with some static.

Jogab says:
@CTO/CSO :We will all leave when we get the device working.  Unity is the key to survival.  United we live, divided we fall.

CMO_Russel says:
::Smiles::  CO:  You coming to dinner tonight?  Assuming nothing untoward happens.

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: I'm sorry sir, but I have to agree. We stand the greatest chance of survival on an alien planet with who knows what kinds of natural dangers out there if we stick together.

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab:  United we die if we can't get the device working and we have no back up plans.

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: We can live off the land for a long time.

Host CO_Farrel says:
<DutyOPS> COMM:OPS: We read you.

Jogab says:
@CTO:  We learned how to survive and kill the beasts now is the time to figure a way to get out of here.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CMO: I would love to!

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  I'm not disputing that K'Tor.  All I'm saying we have to start thinking outside the box here.  Food runs out... predators over run camps.  Power sources maybe out there for the taking.

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: I agree that we should assign two, maybe three people to start a search for useful materials.

CMO_Russel says:
CO:  Great.  I found a new desert made with chocolate I have been saving to test on you.  ::Smiles mischievously as she stands.::

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: The rest of us should stay here and build up food supplies and try to get some energy going.

Jogab says:
@CTO:  If it helps I will assign you a small party to search, but only two other people.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CMO: Oh evil...  ::Giggles::

Jogab says:
@CTO:  My strongest officers.

CMO_Russel says:
::Chuckles::  CO:  I believe that is what it said in the description.  ::Sighs::  I need to head back down and check on my critical patient.  Another 12 hours should tell for him.

OPS_Regnum says:
$COMM: OPS: Glad to hear it, I'm transmitting all the data I can gather from scanning this chamber and this console, see if you can get the computer on translating these symbols, that's what the away team was doing before they vanished, perhaps it is the key to finding out where they went.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Nods at both Jogab and K'Tor::  All:  Listen I know if there is an answer to getting that thing working, you two will get it.   We will take our communicators with us that way if you guys find a way back you can find us when you come and get us.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Nods::  CMO: What time should I come over for dinner?

Jogab says:
@::sees the hunting party come back into the camp with food::

CMO_Russel says:
CO:  An hour after shift.  I should have everything ready by then.

Jogab says:
@::motions two of his people to go with the CTO and give her a weapon::

Host CO_Farrel says:
<DutyOPS> COMM:OPS: Aye aye, we're receiving the data now.  Feeding it into the computer for translation.  We'll notify as soon as we have something.

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab:  Don't push me out of camp yet Jogab.  It can wait till morning.

OPS_Regnum says:
$COMM: Artemis: Acknowledged, I'll keep looking around here and see if I can find anything that will make translation easier.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CMO: Okay, see you later

Jogab says:
@CTO:  I am not pushing you I am getting you ready.

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: You should take your rifle, but until we can recharge it, save it for emergencies.

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab:  Hmmmmm

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  Agreed.

CMO_Russel says:
:: Nodding, turns to leave feeling a little less tension in Hali and relaxes a bit herself.::

CMO_Russel says:
::Steps into the turbolift.::  Computer, sickbay...

Jogab says:
@CTO  :Before you go you will learn how to kill a beast with a spear tonight.  You will go with two of my people on the outskirts of the camp and kill one.

CSO_KTor says:
@All: I'll set up tricorders to notify us if anything approaches the camp.

CTO_Peters says:
@Jogab:  Jogab  Listen... I'm a fully trained Tactical Officer.  I've Targ hunted with some of the best Klingons..  Stop trying to kill me.

Jogab says:
@CTO:  You haven't killed one of these and it took us a while to figure out how to kill them.

Jogab says:
@CTO:  You must hit the nervous center but it is hard to hit.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Smiles:: Jogab:  I'm a quick study and don't take un necessary chances.  I'm stubborn if you haven't noticed... just ask my colleagues.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Smiles leaves her face.::  Jogab:  I'll only miss once won't I.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::looks to the viewer and wonders if the missing teams will be home in time for dinner.::
