XO_Tarrez says:
::exits the TL beside the doctor and moves down to the RR.  Rings the chime::

CSO_Syrna says:
::at her station::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::in her ready room :: Enter!

CMO_Hunter says:
::stands beside the XO waiting to be let in::

CMO_Hunter says:
::enters the Ready Room with the XO::

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles at the Doc and walks in::  CO: You wanted to see us ma'am?

CEO_K`Vas says:
::in engineering making a final check on equipment and manpower for an away team::

FCO_Curgan says:
::at his monitoring the ETA till reaching Valer IV::

OPS_D`von says:
::standing at his post on the bridge, going over the any last min details he might have missed::

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks over at D'von::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO/CMO: Yes...both of you come in.   Sometime during the operation at Valer 4 we will be getting a visit from an old friend.

OPS_D`von says:
::looks up and smiles at Syrna::

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: Old friend??? Not Doleo?

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods briefly at OPS then look back at her sensors::

FCO_Curgan says:
::upon noting the ETA, he begins to make arrangements for prepping a shuttle with medical supplies::

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles figuring it out by her demeanor::  CO/CMO: No I believe she means Flynn.

CMO_Hunter says:
CO/XO:: Excellent! How is he?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods but still looks grim:: XO/CMO: He's bringing some news about what happened at the outpost.  None of the newer crew knows him or anything about him and I'd like to keep it that way for now.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Sy...keep an eye out for his arrival and inform me immediately when he arrives.

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: Aye ma'am.  I will watch the sensor personally.

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees nothing unusual on sensors::

CMO_Hunter says:
::waits to be dismissed or for the Captain to continue::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO/CMO: Thank you...but until then let's go rescue the miners,

CSO_Syrna says:
::does some more reading on Valer IV::

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: Well, I have finished all my checks on the transporters.  I hope we can actually use them to beam in and out

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO/CMO: Dismissed.

FCO_Curgan says:
::taps his comm badge:: *CO*: Captain, we've arrived.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods and takes her leave out onto the bridge::

CMO_Hunter says:
::Nods to the CO, and gives the XO and quick squeeze on the hand as he leaves::

XO_Tarrez says:
FCO: Report?

FCO_Curgan says:
::lays in a course for low orbit around Valer IV::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*FCO*: Thank you Lt.  On my way.  ::heads out to the bridge after them and takes her seat::

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods:: OPS: We should be able to beam.... depending on the depth... there will be interference.

FCO_Curgan says:
XO: We're headed for Valer IV right now, Ma'am.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CEO*: How much time would it take to adjust the ship's phasers to act like drills if necessary?

CMO_Hunter says:
::makes his way to Sickbay to see how the teams are making out::

XO_Tarrez says:
::takes her seat and starts reading her console::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Open a channel to Commander Kitisak on Valer IV.

OPS_D`von says:
::nods to the CO and opens the channel:: CO: channel open ma'am

CEO_K`Vas says:
*XO*: I have anticipated your request, will have modifications ready in 10 minutes

Host CO_K`Beth says:
COM Valer IV: Kitisak: This is Captain K'Beth of the USS Delphyne.

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles:: *CEO*: Excellent Mr. K’Vas. ::sends the update to tactical::

CMO_Hunter says:
*CEO*:: Ensign I would like to know any of your plans to extricate the Miners and how my teams can be of assistance too you

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
Action: A middle aged Bolian appears on the screen.  He is dressed in a Starfleet Commander's uniform and is seated in a large office, in the background, a number of Federation officers and Harelians seem to be having a spirited debate.

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks up at the screen and scans the room on the planet with her empathic abilities::

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
COM: Del: CO (Speaking above the noise) Captain?  I am glad you're here.  The situation is desperate.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CMO*: Aye sir.  I will not have that information until I see the site myself

CSO_Syrna says:
::scans the area where the mines are::

OPS_D`von says:
::looks up and sees the commander and then the people behind him and thinks desperate isn’t the right word::

CMO_Hunter says:
*CEO*:: Very well Ensign. Obviously my teams will be standing by to assist.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CMO*: Understood

CMO_Hunter says:
:: leaves the Lead RN in charge and makes his way to the bridge::

CMO_Hunter says:
::exits the Turbo lift on the bridge::

XO_Tarrez says:
::whisper:: CO: Doubt if I need you to tell you this but there is a lot of anger, frustration, concern and some fear down there.

CMO_Hunter says:
CO:: May i observe?

CEO_K`Vas says:
::continues the modifications to the phaser array::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
COM: Kitisak: Tell us where we can help.  I have full medical teams ready and the cargo bay set up for triage of the worst patients.  I also have a team of engineers standing by.  Plus our transporters are at your disposal. ::nods to Sykora that she heard her::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: Yes, doctor I'd like your input on the medical side of the rescue.

CMO_Hunter says:
*CO/CEO*:: Id like to assign two medics to each of your engineering teams.

XO_Tarrez says:
CSO: ::turning to see her::  What do you see down there?

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CMO*: Yes sir

OPS_D`von says:
::prepares some transporter enhancer stands and armbands to be used if needed, and has them sent to the Transporter room on standby::

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: I can scan about 100 meters... I do not detect structural damage so what ever happened must have occurred deeper within.

CMO_Hunter says:
COM: Kitisak:: I need an idea of what I’m dealing with numbers, injuries etc. two medics will be joining each engineering team on the surface to assist with triage

XO_Tarrez says:
CSO: How far can the phasers drill down if we need them?

CEO_K`Vas says:
*XO*: Commander I suggest that someone from the science department with a geological experience also accompany the engineering team

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
COM: Del: CO: That is wonderful Captain.  We have treated most of our injured, however, there are several still in the mine who are badly hurt.  Also, the trapped miners are deep in the mines and we do not have the equipment to search for them.

OPS_D`von says:
::looks up when he hears that the phasers might be used:: XO: Ma'am, if we use the phasers we have to be very careful other wise we might cause more damage then there already is.

CMO_Hunter says:
OPS/CO:: is there anyway to beam directly into the tunnel?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Can you find them on the transporters?

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods to D'von:: OPS: Understood.

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
COM: Del: CMO: I'm not sure.  I believe there are about six badly injured miners still in the mines, and we have twenty missing.

OPS_D`von says:
CMO/CO: It depends on how deep they are and what is standing between them and us ::does a scan to see if he can get a lock on them:

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: The dilithium and other minerals are causing a good deal of interference. As to the depth of the phasers? Conceivably all the way through to the core, however that would not be recommended, for obvious reasons. The precision of their usage would be my primary concern.

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Perhaps we could use a subterranean probe to help amplify our searches.  It might be safer than phasers.

XO_Tarrez says:
CSO: We need several of your department that has geology training to accompany the engineering teams.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
COM: Kitisak: How close have you been able to get to the trapped miners?

OPS_D`von says:
CO/CMO: Ma'am, I can only transport about 100m into the mines, due to the mineral deposits, and the damage is deeper down.  We might be able to take transporter enhancers further down but they would have to be walked in

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: We have only one geological specialist.

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
COM: Del: CO: We aren't sure.  The explosion and cave in occurred on level 9.  We can reach that level, but there appears to be at least thirty meters of tunnel collapsed.

XO_Tarrez says:
::listens to the CO's conversation as well as to what is going on with the crew::  CSO: Send that person with the lead team and any others that might have limited knowledge with the other teams.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CEO*: Working on it now.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Have them sent to the transporter rooms.

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: A subterranean probe? I do not think it will drill that deep, and it may cause additional cave ins.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*XO*: Understood ma'am

OPS_D`von says:
FCO: The probe would case just as much damage to the ground that the phasers would

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles:: CO: They are already there

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods at the XO:: XO: Affirmative.

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO:  Well, I guess we now know why I'm sitting where I am don't we.  ::smirks a little, trying to lighten the mood::

CSO_Syrna says:
::signals the geologist to accompany the AT::

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
Action: A Harelian approaches the comm link and leans into the viewer.

OPS_D`von says:
CO: I have also had transporter enhancer armbands sent down for our team members to wear

Host CO_K`Beth says:
COM: Kitisak: We'll be sending down teams as far as we are able to transport down.  ::looks at the confusion behind Kitisak:: Is there anything we can do to help with that in the meantime?

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
<Rolchek>:COM: Del: And security teams!  This can't be an accident, there must be Romulan saboteurs here!

Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Arrange an away team.  CMO, FCO, CEO and as many medical and engineering people as needed to get the job done. ::hears the Harelian:: And a few sec teams.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods::  CO: Do you want me to lead it or the doc?

FCO_Curgan says:
::hears his position called and raises his eyebrow::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Captain, not that I mind going, but may I ask what you think I might be able to help with down there?

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: Ma'am, I should go down there and see if I can determine a cause for the cave in.

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
Action: Kitisak politely but firmly pushes Rolchek out of the way.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around:: XO: And have the CSO go down also....let the Doctor lead it.  I'll need you up here if I have to go down there ::indicates the confusion behind Kitisak::

CMO_Hunter says:
::suddenly goes very pale::

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
COM: Del: CO: Naturally there are those here who suspect Romulan involvement.  Perhaps a small security force would be prudent.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods::  *CEO*/ CMO/CSO/FCO/2 Sec teams: Report to TR 3

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Lt. because they may need your piloting skills for any subterranean vehicles they have.

FCO_Curgan says:
::sends a message for a duty FCO::

OPS_D`von says:
CSO: Be safe down there ::lightly smiles::

CMO_Hunter says:
::almost questions the Captain about her decision to make him lead the away team but , remembers his duty as second officer::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Aye, ma'am.  ::smiles to himself::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*XO*: Engineering is in route.  ::orders the engineering teams to get their gear and head for TR #3::

CMO_Hunter says:
All/FCO:: Right, off we go then...come along Lt ::Smiles:: time to get you out of your cave

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods, gets a duty SO to cover her station:: OPS: I will endeavor to control what safety issues I can.

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
COM: Del: CO: I am sending the coordinates for the mine entrance.  We'll meet you there.

FCO_Curgan says:
::sees FCO Thompkins arrive on the bridge and heads to the turbo lift::

CMO_Hunter says:
::tosses a quick wink and a smile to the XO as he leaves::

FCO_Curgan says:
::chuckles and nods to the CMO::

OPS_D`von says:
::isn’t exactly what he wanted to hear from Syrna but it will do::

CSO_Syrna says:
::gives him the slightest of smiles before leaving the bridge:: ~~~OPS: I will be careful... ~~~

XO_Tarrez says:
OPS: Relay those coordinates to the TR Chief.

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles as she leaves::

OPS_D`von says:
XO: Aye, ma'am

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles as she watches Owyn leave::

OPS_D`von says:
::sends the coordinates down to the Chief::

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
Action: Kitisak sends the coordinates and closes the channel.

FCO_Curgan says:
::backs up and makes extra room in the lift::

CMO_Hunter says:
::makes his way with the others to TR#3::

CSO_Syrna says:
::gets on the lift and directs it to the transporter room::

CMO_Hunter says:
::exits the lift at the transporter room::

CSO_Syrna says:
::arrives in the transporter room::

CEO_K`Vas says:
::arrives in TR#3 with engineering teams following close behind him::

OPS_D`von says:
::slaves the sensors to his console so he can keep an eye on the sensors while Syrna is down there::

FCO_Curgan says:
:: follows the CMO and the CSO into the transporter room::

CSO_Syrna says:
::meets up with S'toan in the transporter room::

CMO_Hunter says:
*Sickbay*:: Have the Medics meet the engineers.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*XO*: Commander, the modifications to the phaser array is complete

XO_Tarrez says:
*CEO*: Thank you.  Hopefully we won't need them.

CMO_Hunter says:
All:: See the universe they said...meet strange exotic races they said...id rather be sailing ::chuckles at himself::

OPS_D`von says:
*CMO* Make sure everyone on your team has a transporter enhancer arm band on, and set up the enhancer stands in side the min once you get there

CMO_Hunter says:
*OPS*:: Sure thing.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::thinks for a moment and then stands up:: XO: I'm going to head down there now and try and keep the rescue party clear of the Harelians. The last thing they need is to get caught up in conspiracy theories.  It sounded as if that bunch were heading to the mine also.

CMO_Hunter says:
::grabs the enhancers and hands them out. also grabs his field trauma kit and flashlight::

XO_Tarrez says:
::stands and nods:: CO: Aye ma'am.

CEO_K`Vas says:
CMO: ta'mey Dun, bommey Dun

OPS_D`von says:
::looks up at the CO in some what of surprise, somewhat wondering if she was planning on going down all along::

FCO_Curgan says:
::puts on his arm band, making sure it is secure::

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: I will have a sec officer meet you in the TR.

CMO_Hunter says:
CEO: I’m sorry what did you say?

CSO_Syrna says:
<SO S'toan>::gets his arm band::

CSO_Syrna says:
::gets her arm band::

CMO_Hunter says:
::secures an armband::

XO_Tarrez says:
::requests a tactical officer to accompany the CO::

CMO_Hunter says:
::steps up onto the PADD::

CEO_K`Vas says:
CMO: Excuse me it means Great deeds, Great songs

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grins at her:: XO: Yes ma'am. ::winks and heads to the TL and enters it and directs it to the transporter room::

FCO_Curgan says:
::steps up onto the pad::

CEO_K`Vas says:
::inspects all engineering teams to make sure they have armbands in place::

CMO_Hunter says:
CEO:: Ahhh the "today is a good day to day" mumbo jumbo ::smiles at the Young Klingon::

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles with satisfaction::

CMO_Hunter says:
All:: Well shall we?

FCO_Curgan says:
::clears his throat::  CMO: Mumbo Jumbo?

CMO_Hunter says:
::feels strangely like a mother hen::

CSO_Syrna says:
<SO S'toan> ::nods and steps on to the pad::

CMO_Hunter says:
FCO:: Nothing....never mind.

CSO_Syrna says:
::steps onto the pad::

FCO_Curgan says:
:smirks::

CEO_K`Vas says:
::steps up onto the PAD::

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods to K’Vas::

XO_Tarrez says:
*CMO*: The CO and a security officer will be joining you shortly on the planet to run interference for you guys.

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO*:: Excellent!...Shall we wait or meet her on the surface?

CSO_Syrna says:
::her mind drifts back for a moment to D'von's smile::

XO_Tarrez says:
*CMO*: Proceed on to the planet.

CEO_K`Vas says:
::nods in response to FCO::

CMO_Hunter says:
TR Chief:: Right....Energize!

XO_Tarrez says:
::sighs::  OPS: I am not expecting any problems but I want you to keep a lock on everyone down there.

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
Action: The away team materializes amid a scene of chaos.  Citizens run everywhere and the sound of shouts and vehicles is almost deafening.  Thirty meters away, a pre-fab building covers the mine shaft entrance.  Workers race in and out of it in a steady stream.  

OPS_D`von says:
@::looks up at the XO with the yeah what do you think I am doing face, but decides he should give the smart remark along with it:: XO: Aye, ma'am

CMO_Hunter says:
    All: Alright....

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
Action: Nearby, several civilian vehicles stand with medical personnel working on injured miners.  Heavy equipment stands by, useless in the confines of the shafts.  A group of Harelians and Federation officers approach the party, Kitisak and Rolchek at their front.

OPS_D`von says:
@::checks to make sure everyone's arm bands are active::

CMO_Hunter says:
CEO:: Take charge of your engineers see what can be done...CSO:: take your SO and examine the collapse

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::heads towards the transporter room and meets up with the young sec officer.  Enters the transporter room just in time to see to see them dematerialize,  Hops up on a pad:: TR Chief: Two more for the same location, chief.

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods at the CMO::

CEO_K`Vas says:
CMO: Aye sir

CMO_Hunter says:
Kitisak:: Lt Commander Hunter, CMO USS Delphyne

CEO_K`Vas says:
All engineers: Follow me to the mine, let's begin the damage assessment

CMO_Hunter says:
::extends hand to shake::

CSO_Syrna says:
::stops a moment and waits for Kitisak to start speaking::

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
CMO: Commander, ::Hakes hands::  Glad you're here.

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
<Rolchek> ALL: Where's the security force?  I demand protection for my workers!

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::materializes amid the chaos and sees the CMO and Kitisak.  Walks over dodging a man running who knows where with a box::

CMO_Hunter says:
Kitisak: I’ve already sent the Engineers to take a look, and the CSO and her second to look at the collapse itself.

CMO_Hunter says:
Rolchek: ::firm but understanding:: I’ll talk with you in a second....

CSO_Syrna says:
CMO: Sir I am right here... however I am waiting for directions.

CMO_Hunter says:
CSO:  Sorry, I thought I gave them too you...Take your SO and examine the rock structure, I want to know if this was natural or induced by other means.

CMO_Hunter says:
::sees the CO materialize::

CSO_Syrna says:
CMO: I know what you wish me to do... I do not have directions to where the incident started. I would rather not get lost in an extensive mine.

XO_Tarrez says:
@::smiles::  OPS: By the way, it is nice to have you back on the Alpha shift.

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
CMO: I can accompany you to the mine shaft.  Mr. Rolchek and I will take you down to the collapse, at the bottom of the mine is where you'll find the critically injured.  We could not move them.  ::Looks distressed::

OPS_D`von says:
@XO: It is good to be back, those nights were getting a bit boring

CMO_Hunter says:
Kitisak:: Our CO just beamed down, I’m sure she will want to speak with you both, do you know where the epicenter of the collapse is?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at the Doctor and the rest:: CMO: Commander...I came down to help while you conduct the rescue.  ::gives him a look indicating that she'll deal with the political bull while he gets the real work done::

FCO_Curgan says:
::makes sure he pays attention to where the CMO goes, not wanting to get lost in this mess::

CEO_K`Vas says:
::reaches the mine entrance with his teams, notices that the personnel elevator is operational::

CMO_Hunter says:
Kitisak:: How do we get down into the shaft?

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
<Rolchek> CMO: Before we go anywhere, I want security around this area!  The saboteurs must still be about.  Can't you use your Starship and locate the Romulans?  I thought you were here to use your great technology?!

XO_Tarrez says:
@::takes a glance at the latest sensor reading from both long and short range::

OPS_D`von says:
@::notices the XO keeps looking at the sensors:: XO: Ma'am you expecting someone, I noticed you keep looking at the sensors

CMO_Hunter says:
Rolchek/CO:: I’ll differ to the CO for that question, I’m just a doctor what do I know about security?

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CMO*: We have reached the mine entrance and the elevator is still operational

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::stifles a sigh and walks over to Rolchek:: Rolchek: That would actually be my department.  Why don't we walk over here and you show me where you think security forces should be placed.  ::indicates a spot where they can see the area better but is out of the way of the AT::

CMO_Hunter says:
*CEO*:: Thank you Ensign, I’ll be joining you shortly, any structural problems?

CMO_Hunter says:
Kitisak:: If you would be so kind as to direct me to the mine shaft?

CSO_Syrna says:
::waits to be led to the trouble area::

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
<Rolchek>  ::Looks suddenly pleased at the Captain herself taking his request seriously::  CO: Well, certainly, right this way please.

XO_Tarrez says:
@OPS: Just a habit I guess.  Making sure that we are all alone up here.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*CMO*: Beginning scans now  ::has team begin scanning for structural damage::

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
CMO: ::Sighs::  Like he said, ::Indicates the mine entrance::  Right this way please.  ::Smiles::

OPS_D`von says:
@::smiles:: XO: I see,

CMO_Hunter says:
Kitisak:: I’m sure the CSO has some questions she'd like to ask

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::gives the AT a glance behind Rolchek’s back indicating for them to go now and follows Rolchek:: Rolchek: I understand this isn't the first incident you've had.

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods:: Kitisak: I am interested in knowing where the explosion started.

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
::leads the landing party into the building, where they meet up with the engineers, just as the elevator cage rises to the top, several miners exiting with grim looks on their faces.::

CMO_Hunter says:
::follows Kitisak to the shaft::

FCO_Curgan says:
::follows the CMO, still taking in the scene::

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
::Holds the cage door open for the team::  CSO: Then you need to go much deeper to get the information you seek.

CMO_Hunter says:
Miners:: You Gentlemen hurt? ::leaves the CSO to talk with Kitisak::

Host CDR_Kitisak says:
