Host Tim says:
For the last 4 hours the shuttle with XO, CTO, SO and OPS have been circling the planet taking readings.  If approached too closely the shuttle systems start to degrade.  The Dublin has been able to maintain an altitude of 168,000 km but the drain on the warp core continues.
Rough data from the destroyed ships on the surface indicate they were pulled rapidly to the planet's surface.

::bloody gash in the science officer, security drops him off and returns to post.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO: Orders?  Shall we take a cautious look around while we're down?

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
::Relaxes on his seat, takes another deep breath and starts scanning the atmosphere for the EM readings::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Well, shall we see why this planet wanted visitors so bad?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::listens to OPS and is thankful for the lack of serious injuries, knowing how overwhelming it can be for sickbay::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: sees a science tech enter sickbay bleeding :: Nurse: We have a patient. Get him on a biobed!

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO: It seems to be a lovely planet and pretty harmless.  Maybe it's just lonely.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Exits turbolift and heads directly to the Master Systems Display and starts checking damage and assigning repair crews:: *CO*: Bridge, I'm going to need to take the fusion generators offline for maintenance, but we can do those one at a time, the rest looks pretty minor so far, I'll keep you appraised.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::She looks up at the CO and XO at the possibility of exiting the shuttle to run some further scans of the planet.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CO: Given the wreckage we found on sensors of other ships, it would seem this planet would neither care whether we arrived dead or alive. I advise caution, sir.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
*CEO*: Understood Chief

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::slightly confused but coherent allows himself to be led to a biobed.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Shall I gather a team to go planet side or will all the senior officers get...shore leave...of sorts.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
<Nurse> CMO: Yes doctor. :: looks over the patient :: Nothing serious ma'am, just a mild cut and possible concussion.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Leads a crew to start work on the first generator and leaves the rest on minimal power::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
SO:  Any new data on life signs since we've gone planet side?

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
CO: The EM radiations are still pretty high sir. But we won't need any suits.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::runs tactical scans now they are on the planet..:: CO: May want to minimize our use of systems make our energy last.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Let’s have a look. Set up some perimeter teams and if it checks out we can let the rest of the crew out for a look.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: walks over and takes a look at the young man :: Sci: Ok, let's see that head of yours. :: runs her tricorder over the wound ::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Paige, please get together with engineering and set up some perimeter teams to check out the planet on its own turf.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CTO: Coordinate with engineering.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
XO: Yes Ma'am.

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
CO: Sir the radiations may interfere with readings and ship systems

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
XO: I'd be willing to assist Paige with that endeavor, Tessa.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks at the Captain in amusement for saying the same and smiles::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
*CEO*: We need some engineers for perimeter teams, any plans?

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: lays him back on the bed and activates the systems ::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::starts setting up security squads.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Hears the SO.::  SO:  Can the radiations be filtered out with our scanners?

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Begins to feel a little over whelmed by all the questions.:: SO: Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS:  Yes, please do and have Delgado too.  Both of you can do some science scans.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
XO: How many squads were you thinking?

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Tell me what you need and I'll see what I can scare up Commander, right now I'm mostly working on the fusion generators, the rest is pretty minor stuff.

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
OPS: Yes but not for the time being, it should take time remodulating all the systems.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
SO:  Is the radiation dangerous to our persons?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
~~~XO: Thank you, my love. And try not to worry...as I did for you earlier. ::grins at her as he leaves the bridge with a tricorder in hand::~~~

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
XO: No ma'am. And to your previous question I am still analyzing data about the life signs.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Hmmm...maybe six.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
SO:  Anything I can help you with Gael?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::nods continues working things out with CEO.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Equally spaced so we can catch all angles and not get too spread out.  Better triangulation for scientific readings, too.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
XO: Understood, thinking the same thing.::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: WITHIN 300 METERS LARGE HERDS OF WHAT LOOK LIKE GRAZING ANIMALS; THERE IS A TREE LINE TO THE "NORTH" ABOUT 600 METERS AWAY

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~CNS:  And you think I can just turn the worry off?~~~  ::smiles wryly at her husband::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Lets get this team outside and they can find some answers for us.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: smiles at the young science officer :: Sci: You're going to be fine, You have a minor concussion and a small abrasion on the left side of your head. A days rest and you'll be back in shape.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Gestures to the bridge crew.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::holds the turbolift for Harker::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  Sir, what can I do to assist?

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
OPS:  Yes if you could help me with the readings it will be great.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::heads for turbolift, still talking to CEO.::

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: If you need me I can turn this work over to my assistants...

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO/SO/CNS: You heard the Captain...alacrity with this endeavor!

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Heads over to the science console where Gael is sitting, and opens up a view screen to analyze the readings.::  SO:  Okay, where do we start?

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: whispers to her nurse as she lays her hand on the young man's head ::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
*CEO*: We'll need motion sensors...::goes into detail with what else they are going to need.::

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
OPS: Taking over as I have to walk away in an away team. XO: Any specific orders ma'am?

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
OPS: You as well cadet. Let’s go have a look.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CNS: We'll need to know all about geo, plants, animals, anything that can kill us.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: closes her eyes for a moment ::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE CUT DISAPPEARS FROM THE CREWMAN THE CMO IS TREATING AND APPEARS ON THE CMO AND THEN FADES

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Roger that, standard Tactical package... you want perimeter mines too?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::moves to take over science herself and sees what is near:: CO: Looks peaceful enough...grazing animals, a lake nearby, nice weather.  Wonderland?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
~~~XO: Imzadi...you and your dramatics.~~~ ::chuckles as he orders the TL to engineering::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Nods to the Captain.::  CO:  Captain?  You going as well?  Is the XO staying behind?

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
OPS: We’re all going

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: winces for a moment and then stops ::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
*CEO*: Sounds like a plan, thank you Ensign.

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
CO: Do we have a land vehicle?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Stands from her seat and follows the Captain.::  CO:  Aye, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
SO: Just get all the scientific readings you can.  Take some extra science with you.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Taps his badge:: *CMO*: We could use some input from your department. Care to join us on the surface?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Whispers to the SO.::  SO:  Do we take weapons?

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: opens her eyes and smiles at the young man :: Sci: There,  now rest.

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
OPS: I presume so, rifles are kinda cool. ::smiles:;

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CTO: Perimeter mines, commander? Is that truly necessary?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
SO:  I think I'll stick to the small hand-held phasers, but I wonder .. with the fluctuations in energy readings, will that cause an increase or decrease in the weapons signatures?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CNS: we're on an unknown world with unknown dangers.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::sighs, concerned with the growing aggressiveness on the Dublin::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO; Lets hope it stays that way.  ::Aloud to all:: Standard away team protocol, Hand phasers and tricorders.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
we'll have patrols at all times if we want something to pass through we'll have one of our own people stand nearby won't go off then.

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
::starts calling personnel from planetary sciences and assigns geologists, botanists and exozoologist to the teams:: OPS: You are right they may not even work.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: walks back to her office and sits for a moment :: Self: I can only hope there won't be anymore injuries.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~CNS:  What happened to our peaceful diplomatic science vessel?~~~  ::is feeling a bit chagrined, then feels that returning queasiness::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Nods to the Captain and grabs the appropriate equipment. following him to the designated area.::

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Grabs her TR-116, bandoleer of ammo, and the rest of her gear and gets ready for AT duty::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CNS: I'll tell the CEO to hold the mines...for now but the moment I feel anything is wrong...

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
~~~XO: It seems I have my work cut out for me on this ship...~~~ ::sighs again as the TL arrives at engineering::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CO:  Captain, where's Ensign Danara?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::thinks to self "xo and him are turning me into a softie..." she thinks annoyed.::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
*CO*: Are you serious sir? Of course, I'll be right there.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: ALL THE SENIOR STAFF ASSEMBLE TO EXIT THE DUBLIN AND SURVEY THE PLANET
