Captains Log Stardate 10409.08 
I am currently about to send the away team down to the planet to investigate this devise that urel so readily wants... as for what we will do with it when we have it .. is yet to be determined

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin "A New Beginning", part 9 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::is on the bridge pacing slightly annoyed

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::totally oblivious to Q's little visit, she enters the transporter room, checking her phaser rifle and her pet tricorder::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Oitan Hixxan steps onto the transporter pad, equipment in hand. Three security officers flank him, each armed to the team - as per Ensign T'Vok's recommendations. Hixxan gives an audible sigh as he activates the controls on his phaser rifle, and preps for beam down:: CSO: Ready, Commander.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::his phaser pistol drawn, waiting as the TK whisks him down to ME:: Self: I hate this...::"You're telling me? Just go see the tactical teams, check on them, don't die again...again"::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::joins the CEO in the padd::  CEO: As am I ::taps her badge::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*Gomes to Correz

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
*CSO* go ahead commander

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*Acknowledged

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Enters the SB to supervise the repairs::

TO_Bryant says:
::Runs into the TR, panting:: All: Sorry I'm late, only got the notice a few moments ago..

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::turns to the TO with disapproving eyes::  TO May it not happen again Crewman

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
TO: Get prepped and ready, crewman...::He taps the last command on his rifle and the device powers up::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::stepping off the TL as it comes to a stop, he walks to the side, nodding to the commander of the first tactical team stationed a discreet and non-threatening distance from ME's big doors:: TacCom: Lieutenant, how're your team?

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
*CMO* Correz to Kymar

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::To some crewman doing some welding:: Crewman: Hey! Hey! Crewman!

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
*CIV* Correz to Turner

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the CEO before turning front:: Transporter Chief: Energize

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Taps commbadge:: *CO*: Go ahead Captain.

TO_Bryant says:
::Nods:: CSO: I'm sorry ma'am, it won't... ::Grabs his gear::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
*CIV* I need those transporter inhibitors ready for use when we beam the devise aboard please

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
<Crewman> ::Looks at Turner::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain?

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
*CMO* Commander can you please report to the bridge as soon as possibly

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<TacCom>: CMO: Holding up well, sir. Ready to strike on your order, stun grenades and compression rifles on standby

ACTION: The transporter chief beams the AT down onto the planet.

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
*CO*: You got it ma'am.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::materializes and looks around::  CEO/TO:I am glad to see our sensors were accurate in describing this place

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nodding to the TacCom and giving him another standby order he turns:: *CO*: On my way, Captain ::steps into the TL and orders it to the bridge, with one last look towards the ME doors::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Turns to an ensign within earshot:: Ensign: You heard the lady. Get those inhibitors ready for the away team.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Hixxan materializes on the planet surface alongside the rest of the away team. He drops down low as they arrive in a tundra like terrain covered with sparse vegetation and very little cover::

TO_Bryant says:
@::Rematerialises on the planet, almost immediately feeling the cold air temperature::
Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
OPS: Keep a lock on the away team for as long as possible please

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
<Ensign> ::Looks like a deer in the headlights::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
Ensign: NOW! Move it!

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@AT: All set to move?

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
<Ensign> CIV: Aye sir!

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
<OPS> CO: Aye Sir

TO_Bryant says:
@::Nods:: CSO: All set.. ::Checks his weapon, to be sure::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Hixxan looks around the clearing, and in the distance he notices a large mound...a mountain like structure which likely contains the alien compound:: CSO: Seems we have some hiking to do, Commander...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps off the TL and walks down to the command circle:: CO: Captain, you called?

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::turns as she hears a voice and smiles:: CMO: How are things going

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: That is why we are required to stay in shape in Starfleet. Or you thought it was just to look good? ::smiles and starts walking::

TO_Bryant says:
@::Chuckles at the CSO's statement, as he starts following her::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Captain, we've got two tactical teams of eight men a discreet and non-threatening distance from Main Engineering's front door. They're ready in case Urel tries to make a break for it, or if we give the order to strike.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Hix chuckles once softly and tightens the straps on his pack and begins to head off in the direction of the compound, motioning for the security forces to follow:: CSO: Any plans for when we reach the complex?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::puts the rifle in its holster and takes her tricorder, taking data::

ACTION: The 3 other officers follow the rest of the team.

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Turns back to the crewman:: Crewman: Dude you need a shield around that torch or someone will go blind!

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::takes particular notice of the scarce plant life::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<@>

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
<Crewman> CIV: Alright. ::Rolls eyes::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
<Crewman> Self: Sheesh that guy is bossy.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::walks around the large rocks::  CEO: We get in

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO; Understood commander .. can you slave SCI for me and keep a watch down there. Turner is setting up the shuttlebay, as for this detonator of Urel’s we still need to find a way to block it

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: To be honest I'd like to reason with whoever runs it

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Oitan pulls out a tricorder and begins a low level scan of the region, looking for any energy signatures from remote sensors or traps. As he does, he glances at the topographical map::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: I'll work on that right away, Captain. ::turns and walks up to the Science console, bringing up the sensor readings he begins to calibrate a subspace energy burst that can knock out Urel's detonator destruct signal...and then notices a faint blip on LRS, dropping out of warp:: Captain, a ship just dropped out of warp at the edge of the system

TO_Bryant says:
@::Keeps looking around for signs of trouble::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO; identify and On screen ..

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Inspects the floor using a tricorder::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::checks again, focussing the sensors while slaving tactical to his console and monitoring them both:: CO: It's gone now...scanning for some trace

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::approaches the entrance to the cave from behind one of the large rocks::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::turns to look at Kymar: CMO; how can a ship just disappear ?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::He sighs as he makes his way along the rough, cold terrain. The golden light of a setting sun floods his eyes as they make their way towards the mountain form::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::carefully looks and scans::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
<Ensign> *CIV*: Smith to Turner, inhibitors are ready.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Cloaking device, Captain. I'll start running some tachyon sweep burst in our local vicinity to pick up any cloaked ships ::starts doing so, bringing up deflector controls and modifying as necessary::

TO_Bryant says:
@::Stops briefly at the big rock, looking back to make sure there's no-one following them::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO: Acknowledged

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Taps commbadge:: *Ensign*: Thank you. Turner out

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::walks from rock to rock::  AT: Try to be as little visible as possible

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::As the team approaches the cave entrance he begins to use the natural cover of the land more, moving from bush to rock, and using the terrain for cover:: CSO: I won't be surprised if we lose a stable comm signal when we pass through the defence shield...I'll try to calibrate our tricorders to 
compensate...

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Taps commbadge again:: *CO*: Turner to Correz.

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
*CIV* Go a head

ACTION: As the AT passes through an apparently unusual spot in the terrain... Their hairs straighten up, and they get a strange feeling in their gut. After a few seconds of them moving onward. It is gone.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::He nods as he moves to a larger boulder shape. Hixxan drops down, crouching on his legs and he pulls out his tricorder, tapping several controls::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: I hope it works but I doubt it ... the Artemis couldn't scan absolutely anything inside the shielding nor can we

TO_Bryant says:
@::Smiles, as he thinks back to what his instructors at the academy said about stealth::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::looks at the reactions of the others::  AT: I take it that feeling wasn't just my imagination

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::checks off the readings on his sweep:: CO: Captain, I can't find any trace of a cloaked ship...but that doesn't mean there is one out there

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@CSO: Not at all. Attempting to adjust comms to allow for short ranged communications...

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
*CO*: Captain the inhibitors are ready and waiting.

TO_Bryant says:
@::Looks around:: Self: Odd...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: I’ll try to contact the ship ... let us see how good this shield was

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
*CIV* Understood.. see if you can be inventive and find away on to Urel’s ship and some how disable it so it will not be noticed till they fire it up

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::taps her badge::  COM: USS Artemis: Gomes to Artemis

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO: is there some shielding or planetary devise that could hide that ship?

ACTION: Only static on the CSO's badge.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@At: We are all alone it would seem

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::He nods as he finishes his modifications with the tricorder:: CSO: We should have short ranged communication - who knows if we'll be able to call for help though. ::He glances down at his tricorder:: Not detecting any life signs near the cave entrance...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: That is very strange. Surely they know about this entrance

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Not from the planet, Captain. They could have reflective shields which "bounce" a signal back to us showing clear space, it's possible but would require a large energy signal...which I can't find. I'll try running a few deep penetration scans on the surrounding area ::starts doing so::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@CSO: It is unlikely that it was naturally formed, and was in fact artificially constructed. My instincts either say trap, or dead end. Thoughts?

TO_Bryant says:
@::Checks his rifle again, making sure the shield didn't render it useless::

ACTION: The Artemis' sensors sweeps pick up an uncloaking ship. Defiant class. Not transmitting any identification codes.

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Whispers:: *CO*: Already on it ma'am.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO:I don't believe in dead ends. But I wouldn't doubt it is a trap

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@AT: stay covered and out of sight as much of possible

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
*CIV* Acknowledged good luck

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Works his way towards Urel’s shuttle::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO: Could it be coming from that devise on the planet?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Captain, I’ve got a Defiant class vessel on sensors. No ID codes. Shall I open a signal and raise shields?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@CSO: I would recommend we split up, four and two - a pair could attempt to draw out fire, perhaps give away any hostile forces and their positions...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::runs a scan on the Defiant to pick up any possible information or registry::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::He remains crouched behind the rock and glance back at the security forces that are with them, attempting to think up a plan::

ACTION: Its shields are raised.

TO_Bryant says:
@::Crouches lower behind the bush he's nearest to::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: Sounds reasonable. We need the fastest shots to draw the fire

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: It's shields are raised, Captain. Weapons aren't powered up as far as I can see. I suggest us doing the same in raising our shields

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO: Not at the moment lets stay out of the way and see what there are up to .. on screen

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::looks at Bryant hoping he will volunteer::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::puts it up on screen::

ACTION: The Defiant ship parks itself on an orbit near the Artemis' position.

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::looks to the screen:: CMO; That’s not good Signal them

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: The Defiant is now in orbit near to us. Incoming message, audio only. Putting it up on speakers ::brings up the message::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@CSO: I'm not the best shot, but I may be able to draw fire. I can take one of the junior officers. ::He glances at Gomes once:: Once we have their positions, you can disable their defences and we can meet up at the entrance.

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
:;waits for the message::

TO_Bryant says:
@::Sees the CSO's look and nods::

Host Man says:
COMM: USS Artemis: State your purpose here...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::nods::  CEO/TO: You two go then. We will remain hidden until we listen to enemy fire. Then we circle around to catch them

TO_Bryant says:
@:Nods

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::raises eyebrow:: COM: Defiant class: Please identify yourself

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Gets closer to Urel's shuttle::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::looks at Kymar::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Makes it to the door of the shuttle and knocks:

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::cuts the mic for a moment:: CO: Captain, it may not be Starfleet. They didn't give you the Captain's name, or the ship name, so protocol wasn't followed. I advise we only tell them the minimum necessary ::puts the mic back on::

Host Man says:
#COMM: USS Artemis: Captain Correz.. There are no scheduled Federation missions to this system, especially not for the Artemis. You're supposed to be on a shakedown cruise. So I repeat my question.. What are you doing here?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: Good Luck Commander  ::hides behind a rock::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@CSO: Understood. ::He motions for Bryant to follow him and makes his way across the terrain, using the cover of the land...::

ACTION: Comm lines are cut from ME.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Captain, Comm has been cut. Urel did it...

Host Man says:
<Urel> *CO*: Captain... I trust you remember our little arrangement... No one is supposed to know we are here... Get rid of them...

ACTION: Comm line is re-established.

TO_Bryant says:
@::Follows the CEO very closely, keeping low as they proceed:: CEO: Just wondering, commander... How much combat experience do you have?

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Knocks at Urel's shuttle even louder:: Shuttle door: Hey! Ship maintenance!

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::Nods at Kymar:: Com: Defiant class: Your are right, there is not but Until you can identify yourselves and how you know us .. I am not at liberty to say .. you are not following protocol or showing any ID

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::has the other 3 tactical officers in position around the entrance but safely away tobe out of sight::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::begins to work on his console, encrypting and encoding a message with 1024 bit encryption protocols, stating his name and their current predicament onboard the Artemis:: Self: If it's Starfleet, they may help us...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@TO: Too much for a Chief Engineer. ::He looks grim at the mention of his combat training and moves over behind a shrub. He doesn't notice and defences in the area and makes his way closer to the entrance::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::Looks at Kymar to cut the mike::

Host Man says:
COMM: Artemis: We are on a classified Delta 6 mission... You can clear it with Starfleet command. Operation codename Mariner Hammer

ACTION: No one in site near the AT's position.. or the entrance to the cave.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::cuts the mic::

TO_Bryant says:
@::Follows the CEO again, shaking his head:: Self: Too much combat training?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Captain, they should at least state their ship designation. Even on classified missions.

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO: What is a delta 6 and can you get a message across to them?

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Kicks the door of Urel's shuttle with his boot:: Shuttle door: Hey! Open up!!

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO: Open Comms

ACTION: No reply to Turner's actions. One of the guards inside the small ship looks through the window.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::He moves up close to the entrance and doesn't notice anything. Hixxan pulls out his tricorder and taps a key, sending a signal to Gomes:: Self: Seems...empty?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: I've got an encrypted message ready, Captain. If they truly are Starfleet, and part of Intel, then they'll be able to decrypt not only the message but the secret one I’ve got mixed in with the code ::smiles slightly at his genius and reopens the mic::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Motions to the guard::

TO_Bryant says:
@::Approaches the cave entrance::  CEO: I'll check from the other side.. maybe there's some behind the turn?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::finds it strange not to have heard anything yet. Resists the urge to tap her badge::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@TO: Maybe, keep sharp...

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Mouths and motions:: Guard: I need to get in!

ACTION: The cave entrance looks deserted.

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Shows the guard his repair roster::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::taps in the send code, masking his signal as he does, and transmitting the message to the defiant vessel::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
COM: Defiant class: We are unable to contact SFC as some of our comm Systems are down as well as the ship sustaining damage which we are working on....

TO_Bryant says:
@::Nods, as he shuffles his rifle a bit, to get a better look over the barrel::

Host Man says:
COMM: USS Artemis : You're right... We were wondering why you are missing a huge portion of your hull. Either way. You must leave.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Hixxan keeps his tricorder open and scans the region, looking for signs of any monitoring devices. He glances at the ground, looking for any sort of tracks or signs of recent use::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
COMM: Defiant class: Is there a particular need for us to move from this area quickly

TO_Bryant says:
@::Looks at the CEO:: CEO: I'm going ot head a few meters deeper into the cave... To make sure it's clear further down..

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::decides to use her badge, but whispers into it::*CEO*Is everything alright?

Host Man says:
COMM USS Artemis: Suffice it to say that you are interfering with said operation. Leave now!

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Hixxan moves a few metres back from the cave entrance and taps his badge, speaking softly:: *CSO*: It appears to be abandoned, Commander. I have no intention of falling for a trap, Mr. Bryant intends to investigate, I concur. I would recommend we regroup immediately.

ACTION: The AT reaches a steel door, embedded onto the granite wall

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO*: Acknowledged. Stay where you are, we will follow your commbadges

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::motions the rest of the team to follow her to the CEO's position::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::begins to run interference over the shields, mimicking a warp-field stability problem, and then speaking loud enough for the Defiant to hear:: CO: Captain, we can't leave yet, our warp field stability is still a risk

TO_Bryant says:
@::Advances further into the cave, noticing the door at the end of it:: CEO: There's a door here... closed, it seems..

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
*CSO*: Understood, Hixxan out. ::He glances towards the cave entrance and notices the large metal door where Bryant was planning on going::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Keeps knocking incessantly at Urel's shuttlebay door::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
COMM: Defiant class: I am unable to comply at the moment .. we will do out best to stay out of your way and will move on as soon as possible ::prays that works::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::looks around but approaches the CEO quickly::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Hix glances between the door and Gomes:: CSO: Ideas would be welcome, Commander.

Host Man says:
COMM Artemis: Very well... You have 4 hours. We will return to make sure you are no longer here.

ACTION: The comm is cut.

ACTION: The Defiant cloaks.

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::wishes they would have a least offered some help:: COMM: Defiant class: Thank you

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: The Defiant has cloaked again, Captain

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at the door and scans it::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO; Did they get that message

TO_Bryant says:
@::Looks around:: CSO: Any weaknesses in the structure?
CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods as a message bleeps on his console, with reply code:: CO: Aye, Captain. "Stand By"

Host Man says:
<Urel> *CO*: Very nicely done Captain...

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::raises eyebrow:: *Urel* I’m glad it met with your approval ::slight sarcasm in her voice:: is there anything else I can do for you urel

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Yells:: Shuttle door: YOO HOO!

TO_Bryant says:
@::Looks at the door's post, hoping there'd be a small gap between the post and the rock. Doesn't notice the console::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::looks to Kymar to say she will talk to him shortly::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::notices the look and nods back to the Captain::

ACTION: The person in Urel's ship window has disappeared, leaving Turner speaking to himself::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Hix glances at the control console near the sealed entrance. The Bolian man steps up to the display and cracks his knuckles before scanning the console for any trapped systems::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::watches the CEO::

Host Man says:
<Urel> *CO* : Not really no.. Urel out.

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Pounds on Urel's shuttle door and keeps pounding::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::Shakes head:: CMO: I’m not sure whether to trust that Stand by or not .. but lets see what happens.. keep a watch out there .. I don't trust anything anymore

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Oitan quickly sets to work accessing the console console. The display beeps a few times, and he winces as the sound echoes in the small cavern entrance. He continues to work, and after a few moments he hears a "click" as the door lock disengages:: CSO: Success.

TO_Bryant says:
@::Raises his rifle again, as the door clicks, ready to shoot at anything that comes through it::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: Well done Commander!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Understood, Captain. Long and Short range sensors are on full standby

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::scans  ahead::

ACTION: The door opens, revealing a large corridor heading into the mountain. Still no one in sight

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::Nods and sighs:: CMO; Anything from the At yet ?

TO_Bryant says:
@::Looks through the door, rifle at shoulder-height:: All: Looks clear...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Hixxan replaces his tricorder and lifts his rifle. The Bolian man ensures that the scope light is disengaged, but activates the thermal scanner on the targeting display::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::While he is banging with one hand places an energy dampener on the ship to disable its systems with the other hand::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Nothing, Captain. ::runs a quick check on his transporter locks:: I can't get a transporter lock on them either...it may be something to do with the shields around the facility

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Turns unconcerned and leaves the shuttle heading out of the SB and to bridge::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO; Sounds like it .. I hope they are okay and I would love to know who was on that ship .. I guess all we can do is wait

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO/TO: No one, this is still very strange. Either they are under crewed, overconfident or it’s a trap

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
TO: First rule...if it looks clear, it's definitely not. ::He looks around and keeps his eyes forward:: CSO: This has been too easy...::He takes a small step forward, glancing at the thermal lock every few moments::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Enters the TL:: TL: Bridge.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: It's all a big game, Captain. We're ready for almost anything

ACTION: On the end of the corridor, there is an Elevator door

TO_Bryant says:
@::Shrugs:: CSO: Or all at the same time..

ACTION: On the side of the door, there is a control panel.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::approaches the elevator door and wonders if it will open::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO; you know I beginning to think we are a pawn in all of this .. and for some reason I don't trust any side either

ACTION: The door opens.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::He moves forward with the rest of the team, and notices a large double-door at the end of the corridor with a similar control panel:: Self: Hmmmm, a lift perhaps. CSO: Option three I believe.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: That would make us the chessboard, rather than the pawn, Captain. Just something to allow both sides to play their moves...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Hixxan drops down to his crouched position as the door begins to open and takes aim with his rifle, preparing to fire if the need arises::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@:shrugs::  CEO: If it is a trap, we are falling right through it

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CMO; Well I guess we shall find out just how good we are at playing this game

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::enters the elevator looking for the level controls::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Exits the TL and enters the bridge::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Technically, Captain, the chessboard can't make a move...::smiles slightly::...but we can remove ourselves from the game, and not allow either side to play...::he leaves it at that, and goes back to monitoring the science and tactical readouts::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::turns as she sees someone enter the bridge:: CIV: any success

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::observes the level control panel::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::He tricorder beeps in it's holster. He stands slowly and moves into the lift with Gomes. Placing his rifle at his side for a moment he glances at the tricorder reading:: CSO: I'm detecting traces of thalaron radiation...not...good...

TO_Bryant says:
@::Keeps pointing his rifle at the door, checking the lift's interior for any vents or hatches::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: The levels go down, to a maximum of 13. I say we start by the last? That’s where I'd put sensitive equipment

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@CSO: I think we just figured out where everyone is...

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::Hears Kymar and sits down in her chair thinking and smiles as the thought of saying end game springs to mind::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: Do we know if the device Urel wants emits thalaron radiation?

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Walks towards the CO:: CO: We'll see I put a system inhibitor on the hull. If all goes as planned it should dampen the ships systems sufficiently to prevent any operations of the shuttle.

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::Smiles:: CIV: well I’m sure we will find out if it works of if he finds it

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@CSO: I don't know, but I sure hope not. Lets begin scanning for high levels or thalaron radiation, and the signal Urel gave us...it may help us locate the device.

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
CO: Let's hope for the best ma'am. Where do you want me now?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: I don't like this the least bit

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CIV: Just monitor repairs and try and figure away of getting Urel off my ship without him noticing ::Smiles slightly tired::

TO_Bryant says:
@::Isn't sure what the CEO is talking about::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@AT: I suppose level 10 it is

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::He scans around and his tricorder beeps several more times as he gets a lock on the alien device:: CSO: 10th Level down...that's where we want to be.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::pushes the controls for level 10::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::Stands:: CMO: you have the bridge notify me if anything arises I will be in my RR

ACTION: The Lift begins descending.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods to the Captain, moving down to the Command Circle:: CO: Of course, Captain. I'll notify you of any change to the situation

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::aims her phaser at the door::

ACTION: Residual Thalaron radiation levels are increasing. Still well within the safety range.

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
CO: Would you like me to leap a tall building in a single bound while I am at it? ::Grins::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::As the lift begins to descend, he continues with his scans, mumbling to himself a string of curses as the radiation levels steadily begin to rise::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::walks to her RR grabbing a coffee and sits at her desk thinking for a moment::

ACTION: The door opens up in level 10.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::takes the vacated centre chair, slaving science and tactical to his arm console and monitoring things from there::

ACTION: There is a corridor leading to several doors, and other corridors. On the left side of the wall, near the elevator is a map of the level.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::looks::

TO_Bryant says:
@::Points his rifle at the door again:: All: Let's see what we find here...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::As the lift entrance opens, he raises his rifle, taking aim outside of the lift. He replaces his tricorder in its holster, activating a passive scan of the region::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Gets the feeling the CO is troubled and walks over to the RR door and presses the chime::

ACTION: The map shows the level's schematic. There are a few labs, testing facilities, and a Security Control room

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::enters the corridor and looks at the map::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::gets up and walks to the window sipping at her coffee and looking out, hearing the chime she turns and looks:: CIV: Enter

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@TO: Report anything out of the ordinary immediately...::He steps out of the lift::

TO_Bryant says:
@::Turns his head to the CEO and nods:: CSO: Any suggestions on the direction we should go in?

ACTION: Urel's signature is coming from one of the test facilities

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
::Enters the RR as the door opens:: CO: Ma'am. ::Nods and walks towards the desk::

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
::Smiles:: CIV: What can I do for you

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
CO: Something troubling you Captain?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: Definitely the security room

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CIV: only this whole situation, my Away team I cannot contact .... you know there is something not right in any of this .. something is wrong and I cannot put my foot on it

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CIV: Just the generally Captain worries I guess

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CEO: If it is a trap, that’s where we will find out. agreed?

TO_Bryant says:
@::Hears the CSO, and waits for her to move, so he knows where to go::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
@::Phaser rifle at the ready, Oitan Hixxan suddenly has memories of a similar facility when he was on the U.S.S. Ganymede, a little more naive, and a little less experienced. He shakes away the memories and nods:: CSO: Test facilities should be this way...agreed. ::He gives a half smile and continues on into the unknown::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
CO: I know, I know. Want to know a trick?

Host CO_Capt-Correz says:
CIV: if it gets us out of this yes

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
CO: Well I can't promise that but it might help.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::makes her way to the security room::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::sighs softly, rubbing his eyes for a moment:: Self: When was the last time I slept? ::shakes his head and looks back down at the sensor data, carefully monitoring it all::

CIV_Capt_Turner says:
CO: Just don't worry. Whether you worry or not it won't change things.
