U.S.S. Artemis, Stardate 9901.15

Host Cheryl says:
The USS Artemis is investigating the possibilities of colonization of two planets in the Lyraka system.  They are investigating the fourth planet of the system first.

Host Cheryl says:
A signal has been detected from the planet, very regular in nature, centering around a mountain in the northern hemisphere.

Host Cheryl says:
The Away Team is investigating, and contact with the AT has been lost.

@USS ARTEMIS: this is Lt. Wilks; please respond

EO_Peon says:
*CEO*: I have got an idea how we may be able to communicate with the AT again, Sir

SO-MacMer says:
CO: Sir, since we are getting different readings between our ship's sensors and our probe's sensors, could there be a cloaked device on the surface?

Host CO_Tealk says:
SO : Is there anyway we can tell? If not, can you compensate for what you think is out there?

CTOFenrir says:
CO: Sir, a freighter is approaching the ship

CEO_JRoss says:
*EO*:  Come up to the bridge Mr. Peon, Leave the ME to the Duty Engineer

EO_Peon says:
::Heads to the TL::

Host CO_Tealk says:
CTO : Hail it..

EO_Peon says:
::Gets in the TL::

EO_Peon says:
::Enters bridge::

SO-MacMer says:
CO: I don't know sir. I am trying to use the probe data to determine the origin of the signal and I am patching it through the Universal Translator to see if its a comm signal of some sort.

CTOFenrir says:
CO: Hailing now sir

TO_Wilks says:
@:: thinks: we really should have taken a shuttle::

CEO_JRoss says:
::Walks over to SCI1 console, begins scanning the approaching shuttle::

Host CO_Tealk says:
::nods at the SO:: So  :Please advise me of your results..

Civ_Kayan says:
&<Comm> Artemis:  This is the transport Ghrems with a passenger for you.

SO-MacMer says:
CO: Aye, sir.

FCO_Vrayl says:
::satisfied with shuttle prep::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  There is still no comm received from the planet

EO_Peon says:
CEO: Would you like to hear my plan, sir?

FCO_Vrayl says:
*CO: Sir, we are ready for departure upon request.

CEO_JRoss says:
CO: Sir, sensors confirm Shuttle Transponder

Host CO_Tealk says:
COMM Ghrems : Very well.. Gives us the coordinates and we'll beam him aboard.

SO-MacMer says:
CO: Sir, should we perhaps launch another probe configured for the away team comm signals and see if it will relay them to us?

CEO_JRoss says:
::Looks at Mr. Peon:: Mr. Peon, what is your solution

Civ_Kayan says:
&<Comm>Artemis:  downloading coordinates.  Have fun with ...him  <S>

EO_Peon says:
CEO:we could relay the Comm through the deflector dish to increase the Comm signal, sir

FCO_Vrayl says:
::starts keying shield modulations to match the wavelengths detected in the mountains::

EO_Peon says:
CEO:that may just give us the power we need to get through, Sir

CEO_JRoss says:
EO:  Yes, that has worked in the past, work at Eng1 Console, see if you can reroute the COMM signal through the deflector and advise

CTOFenrir says:
::Scanning for the cause of the comm loss with the AT::

Host CO_Tealk says:
SO : Launch the probe.. Let's see if your plan works..

EO_Peon says:
::Calls two duty engineers to help::

CEO_JRoss says:
Mr. Fenrir, Mr. Peon is attempting to reroute comm through the main deflector dish, he should advise shortly if he is successful.  Do you have an alternative solution?

CSO_Joe says:
@TO: Let's here it

Host CO_Tealk says:
*FCO* : Mr. Vraylle, we're still trying out some things.. Hold please..

SO-MacMer says:
::Launching probe. Checking UT again...::

FCO_Vrayl says:
*CO*: Aye, captain.

TO_Wilks says:
@CSO: a phaser beam, if we shoot it up, the Artemis will know our location and at least know that we are alive

SO-MacMer says:
CO: Sir, probe is away, and sir it seems that the signal from the planet may be some sort of comm signal. Still working it sir.

CTOFenrir says:
CEO: If i knew what was causing the comm loss i would have a better idea of how to fix it ::Continues scans::

EO_Peon says:
Ah ha got it ::thanks the DE's for there help::

TO_Wilks says:
@CSO: it is a long shot but it might work

Host CO_Tealk says:
SO : Well done..

CEO_JRoss says:
CO:  Sir, we are working on trying to re-establish COMM through alternate means

CSO_Joe says:
@TO: We'll have to modify the phaser but I think it can be done

Host CO_Tealk says:
CEO : Any luck yet?

EO_Peon says:
*CEO*:I got it ,sir  But with a little help,

FCO_Vrayl says:
::programs another shield macro into the shuttle console::

CEO_JRoss says:
CO:  Not yet Sir

TO_Wilks says:
@CSO: good thing i brought an engineering kit

CTOFenrir says:
::Sweeps the mountain range in the northern hemisphere with an intensive sensor scan::

CEO_JRoss says:
*EO*:  What do you need Mr. Peon?

CSO_Joe says:
@::looks at the rocks::

CSO_Joe says:

Civ_Kayan says:
::beams aboard the Artemis and looks around with wide eyes::

CSO_Joe says:
@::grabs an big rock and sets down next to the kit::

CTOFenrir says:
CEO: Maybe if we just use the probes as a kind of comm network we could contact them, we may need to launch several....

CEO_JRoss says:

@TO: Is there a small drill in the kit?

SO-MacMer says:
CO: Sir, the UT is still working on it!

TO_Wilks says:
@CSO: of course sir

Civ_Kayan says:

TO_Wilks says:
@:: hands drill to CSO

SO-MacMer says:
::Checks UT for further decode results::

Host CO_Tealk says:
SO : How long? I can't wait much longer..

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Ops comms the AT through the new probe.

CSO_Joe says:
@::takes the drill and make 2 small holes in the rock::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The comm gets through, though it is sporadic and chopped up communication

CEO_JRoss says:
CO: Sir, I believe we need to send the shuttle, we can always recall it if COMM is reestablished

SO-MacMer says:
CO: Sir, the new probe is down and we're getting the AT!

Host CO_Tealk says:
*AT* : If you can hear me, we've located the source of the signal.. It's under the mountain.. Please investigate and try to find some kind of caves..

SO-MacMer says:
CO: Sir, I've been able to triangulate the source of that signal from the planet... I am feeding you the coordinates. Please note they are 3 klicks underground!

FCO_Vrayl says:
&CTO&: We are ready to launch, sir.

TO_Wilks says:
@CSO: i've finished the modifications

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The gist of the CO's comm gets through to the AT

Civ_Kayan says:
<Transporter Chief>:  Kayan:  Hereya go miss.  Someone will see to you later.  ::Turns to go then turns back::  Welcome aboard

FCO_Vrayl says:

Civ_Kayan says:
::sighs as she watches the TP Chief leave, then mumbles::  Thanks

CEO_JRoss says:
CO:  Sir, I'm lowering the orbit to 5000 perigees, that will help with COMM as well

Host CO_Tealk says:
CEO : Very well..

TO_Wilks says:
@CSO: perhaps we should try a new tactic

CTOFenrir says:
&::Scans for the away teams position::  FCO: These are the teams last known coordinates, near the base of this mountain.

FCO_Vrayl says:
$CTO: Reinforce the forward shields with the batteries. We will be taking a steep entry trajectory.

CSO_Joe says:
@TO: The captain said that they found the signal
