Host Tim says:
Over the last thirty minutes the Away Team has been exploring the crushed Klingon vessel with little to no worth while results.   The vessel apparently has been there for decades; the weather has started to actually destroy the hull and little of the interior is accessible.

Host Tim says:
<<<Resume Mission: Something old, something borrowed>>>

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Sitting in the big chair on the Main Bridge, minding the store::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::stands near the Klingon vessel::  CMO: Check our engineer out and let me know how bad the injury is.  ::looks at Quon, hoping::  CNS: Counselor?  Was there anything on the outside of the vessel...any markings?

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@::out of the Klingon vessel, trying to clean his hopelessly stained uniform::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CEO:  Ma'am, I just received a communication from the Captain.  He's on his way back to the bridge.  He would like to speak to you when he arrives.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@:: moves slowly  around the ship and then stops as the XO speaks :: XO: Of course Commander.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::sits on the ground as someone works on her injured leg.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CEO:  He wants an update on the status of being able to get off this rock.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
OPS: Thank you Cadet. What's our status please? Any changes or updates?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@XO: I did not notice anything Starfleet doesn't have in its records already, Tessa.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: moves over to the engineer and looks over the wound ::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CEO:  No, Ma'am.  I have been trying repeatedly to get a signal from the away team, but with no success.  I've tried boosting the communications, but nothing.  Any suggestions?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@ CNS:  We could hope.  Thank you.  FCO:  Did you find anything worthwhile?

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: When crawling back from the wreck I had an idea on how to boost communications I would like to try ma'am, for the rest no luck. ::shrugs his shoulders::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::First aid complete, the security officer yells for the CMO to check it over.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@FCO:  Shoot...what's your idea?

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
OPS: Try modulating the carrier wave to accommodate for the EM field, like skipping a pebble over a pond. It works with longer or shorter wavelengths.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Pauses a moment as the lift doors open, and then steps off.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::walks over to the CTO and kneels beside her:: CTO: How are you, Paige?

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Stands:: ALL: Captain on the Bridge!

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@CMO: Doctor?  How is she?

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@CTO: That's a fine job Paige. Nice to see that you've kept up with your medical skills.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Stands to attention.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::flinches:: CNS: Stings a bit...

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: We could use a beam to disrupt the EM field before sending our subspace comms in a much tighter and focused beam to boost its power.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
ALL: At ease. ::Moves to engineering panel at the rear,::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CMO: Got to in my line. ::she jokes, in pain.::

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Moves over to the panel, PADD in hand::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: It's like the difference between normal light and a laser beam. The laser beam loses consistency much farther on.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@CTO: Do you think you can stand? I will help you up.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CEO: What’s our power status?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@FCO:  We'll try it then.  ::raises her voice so all can hear::  I'd like to check out the Cormanii vessel next...if Paige doesn't need to return to the ship just yet?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::A security officer hands Paige a cane.:: CNS: Sure I think so...

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@CTO: Let me take a look now. We don't want to risk any infection. :: pulls out a hypo :: Now I'm going to give you a shot as a preventative.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::deep gash taken care of and numbed Harker leans on the cane and the CNS to stand.::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: Ma'am you know more about the Cormanii than many of us do, could you brief us about them?

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: I think I've crunched a set of numbers that will work for us, Captain. Here they are, and I've added in a 10 % Murphy factor, just to be safe. ::Hands over the PADD:: All backups are online, my teams are using them to make repairs. You have one Impulse Reactor at full power, the other will be ready in about 12 hours Sir.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CMO: Thanks.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::puts one of Paige's arms over his shoulders and gently hoists her up to her feet::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Returns to her station and tries to remodulate the carrier wave to accommodate for the EM field, like the CEO said.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::takes a deep breath, remembering too much::  FCO:  Sure...  All: In the meantime let's all get back onboard the shuttle.  I'll fill you in as we take off.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Looks over the PADD.:: CEO: 12 hrs..........Is that a Chief’s estimate or a realistic one?

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@CTO: Paige, I'd like you to have Dvari give you a good going over back on the ship.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CMO: I'm staying with you lot, I'll be alright.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CEO:  Ma'am, still no luck with the communications, but I will keep trying.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::moves over to the shuttle and waits for the others to board, looking Paige over with a practiced physician's eye::  CTO: Paige...should we return to the ship or will you be alright while we go to the Cormanii ship?

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: moves toward the shuttle with the rest of the Away team:: 

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CMO: Just a little hurt no worries.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: That's a safe estimate with a Murphy factor built in Captain, just to keep my people safe and not have any screw-up. I can shave it, but we would be taking risks, and we wouldn't save much time, maybe an hour Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::smiles::  CTO:  Okay, you beat me to it.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::gazes at Danara, wondering if she'll make Paige go back to the ship::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@CTO: I'll let you remain for now, but at the first sign of anything, I'm sending you back, understood?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::stops leaning on CNS.:: XO: I'll be ok.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CMO: Thanks.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::waits patiently for everyone to board::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Glances over at Daniels and back to the Chief.:: CEO: Very good, What do you think our chances are of breaking the magnetic field?

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@CNS: Commander, keep an eye on her will you?

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: sits at the controls waiting for the rest of the team to sit down::

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
OPS: Thank you Cadet, I know you'll do your best.  It might not be possible in this stuff.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@CMO: I will stay by her side that is a promise.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@FCO: Take off as soon as we're all seated and circle in a wide berth for a minute while you try your communications idea.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: takes a seat and stows her med kit under the seat :: CNS: I'm counting on you.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: JUST AS THE SHUTTLE DOOR CLOSES YET ANOTHER ROAR IS HEARD

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::Re-enters the shuttle with the others, again the last one to enter limping into the shuttle.::

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: Unless we get a better handle on this thing, or get warp power back online so I can try a few things, about 60/40 against Captain, and that's being honest. ::said quietly, so it's just between them::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Nods to the CEO and at the Captain and then focuses her attention back on the communications again.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::not letting on how difficult it is.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::nods reassuringly to Danara:: CTO: You are stuck with me then. ::grins::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: Takes off and sets the shuttle in a circle with the automatic pilot then starts working on his idea::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::enters the shuttle close behind the CTO::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CNS: I would say you're stuck with me. ::grins back.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@All:  While Delgado tries to communicate with the Dublin...the Cormanii...

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@XO: So where to next Commander?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::still managing to enter sliding in behind CNS::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CEO: If we can predict when the field will be at it's lowest we may be able to break free. Let me know when the last reactor is online. ::Hands the PADD back::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: remodulates the dual transceiver assembly to send a much more focused subspace message, then starts modifying the deflector dish to emit a strong tachyon pulse::

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: Aye Sir... are you taking the Bridge or do I still have it?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::gazes at Tessa's emotional eyes, seeing deep concern in them, without the need of 'feeling' the concern either::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::shudders as she remembers the terrible confrontation with their ships and the resulting deaths 'hitting' her::  All:  The Cormanii are a tall, war-like ferocious race...very dark in skin color.  They took out a Klingon vessel and no one except the Dublin has ever defeated them.  ::remembers being at tactical and the maneuvers she used::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: Ma'am I need to go up high so that the planet curvature does not interfere with the communication.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Thinks a moment and looks up at the Chief as if he were looking over spectacles.:: CEO: I am here if you need me. ::Smiles and turns toward Cadet Daniels.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Sees the Captain looking in her direction.  Gives him a smile.::  CO:  No luck, Sir.  Sorry.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::nods at the pilot::  FCO: Then do it, but not too far.  We need to get to the Cormanii wreck ASAP to conserve power.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: One last thing Captain... we know what we'll need to get loose, but we'll need a lot more data before I can swag a model of where the low spots will be... Sir.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::whispers to the other two security officers about security mumbo jumbo, tactical plans, the Cormanii etc.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Approaches without a word at first, and just a nod.::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@:: glances back at Paige for a moment ::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Gets a little nervous with the Captain standing over her.::  CO:  Sorry, Captain.  I'm doing everything I can think of.  They're just not within communications range.

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: We can glide a little to conserve power ma'am. ::makes the shuttle gain altitude until the right one is reached and there is no planet surface between them and the Dublin::

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Resumes her spot in the Big Chair and keeps monitoring the repairs and working on the EM field data from there::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::deep in conversation doesn't see CMO look over, absently one hand hovers near the large wound.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Looks at the Communications display.:: OPS: Try this. ::Tweaks a setting slightly::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::'sees' a flash of a memory from Tessa as she was looking at the Dublin's view screen after firing on the Cormanii in a battle from years since past::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CO:  I'm getting a spotty communication with the shuttle, but not a very good one.  I'll keep trying.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::returns to the subject::  All:  The Cormanii have a very dangerous biological peculiarity...they exude radiation from their bodies.  It can become critical for humanoids...  ::glances at Quon, wondering how it would affect him::  ...and so we need radiation medication.  I made sure there is a large amount on the Dublin and have brought some now.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::halts her conversation to listen to the XO. Nodding she understands the threat they could face.::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: activates tachyon beam and communications:: *Dublin*: this is the away team.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
*Shuttle*:  Cadet Daniels to Away Team.  If you can read this, what is your status, please?

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: Captain... I had a thought... we might be able to chart where some weak spots are by the communications coverage. The signals would break through easier in the weak areas. We could fly some shuttles around with radio beacons active and chart the signal strength?

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@*Dublin*: Dublin please respond.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::looks at Quon, her eyes moved with a hint of fear and sadness::  All:  The Cormanii are an odd mix of different species...almost migrational in nature.  I was conducting DNA research on them previously.  Basically we do not want to meet them in person...

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Listens closely to the Shuttle communications.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@XO: With no long range weapons, we will have to withdraw if there are indeed hostile Cormanii in the wreck.

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: We have communication ma'am would you like to report?

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Holds up a hand to the chief and nods with a slight smile::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
*Shuttle*:  Gael?  Is that you?  I'm picking up your communication, but you're breaking up.  Please repeat.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Nods back and returns to her work::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@FCO:  Yes, thank you and good work!

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Tries to listen more carefully.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CNS: Our range is enough we can... ::twinge of pain..:: "handle it".

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::look over at Delgado with relief that the Dublin can be communicated with now:: FCO: Thank you, Ensign.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::pain doesn't show on her face.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@*Dublin*:  Captain...we have concluded the investigation of the Klingon vessel.

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@*OPS*:  We are here but comms are spotty at best. CNS: De nada Commander.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::puts TR-116 rifle over her lap.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CO: Captain?  A communication from Commander Jakiel, are you hearing it?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@*Dublin*: Unfortunately, we have found nothing of that would help.  I am planning to search the Cormanii vessel at this time and then return to the ship.  Do you concur?

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: moves to the rear of the shuttle and digs through the extra supplies ::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
OPS: I hear it. ::leans closer::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::glances at the odd rifle on the CTO's lap, and frowns:: CTO: Let us hope it does not come to that.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
*Shuttle*: Anything to report Commander?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CNS: As always but I've learned what I hope and what happens aren't always one and the same.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: grabs a packet and heads back to her seat ::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
*FCO*:  Understood Gael, please be careful and keep us informed.

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@*Ops*: For the moment I am only dirty querida. ::grins:: 

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Moves over to OPS position, whispers so she doesn't disturb the Boss:: OPS: Start making a map that plots the signal strength of all your communications traffic. It might help us find weak spots in the EM field, signals will get through better the lower the radiation level, less interference.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::struggles to understand through the static.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@CTO: Wise words, Paige. But we mustn't lose our optimism, even in the face of danger.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Nods to the CEO.::  CEO:  Aye, Ma'am.  Good idea.  I didn't even think of that.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@XO: We shouldn't land too close just in case.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
OPS: That's why I'm the Engineer. ::winks and goes back to the Conn::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CNS: True enough Counselor...::thinks to self "hope is good, hope and a gun is better..."::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: checks over the packet and then looks up :: All: I have the anti radiation medications here. I'm going to inject all of you just in case. No sense being unprepared.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@CTO:  Right.  We can't be too cautious.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Smiles at the CEO and begins to plot the signal strengths of the comm traffic.::  *FCO*:  Then you will need a long sonic shower before you get near me.  ::chuckles.::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: Ready to start a glide toward the Cormanii vessel Commander. ::smiles at the words of Tayla::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@FCO: Find us a good place a little away from the wreck if you would..

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: begins to prepare the injections and then moves to each crew member in turn :: CTO: Commander, your neck please.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@FCO:  On the Captain's okay, we'll move immediately.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@XO: So these Cormanii cannot be reasoned with whatsoever?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::nods and tilts her head for the shot.::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: injects the CTO :: CTO: Well done.

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: Aye ma'am activating sensors in passive mode to find a very cozy landing area.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@CNS:  So far...no one has been able to...  ::then she remembers something::  ...except apparently one little...ahem Ferengi named Pez.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::grins slightly, ignoring the dull pall in her leg.::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: moves to the CNS: CNS: Counselor, if you please....:: shows him the hypo ::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
OPS: Cmdr. Jakiel did say they were investigating the other site?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  Is there a problem?  Do I need to reach them?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@Self: Pez....oh, yes. I've met him before. ::extends his neck a little for Danara to inject the serum::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@FCO:  Move on out...everyone keep their eyes and senses open.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
OPS: Raise them again

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: starts gliding down toward the Cormanii vessel, engines at minimum to save power and reduce any signature::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: forces the hypo into Quon's neck with a little more force :: CNS: There.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Starts crunching the data again, seeing if there is a way to improve her systems performance or some other trick that will get them out of here easier::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@*Dublin*:  Jakiel here.  ::strains to hear the communications::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: smiles and moves towards the pilot :: FCO: You're next handsome.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CO:  Captain, I have them.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@~~~XO: It is a challenge we will face together. I am always at your side, my love.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::leans forward toward Delgado and the front, smiles at Paige:: CTO:  No worries...it's your job.  I'm a hopeless pacifist.

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: Sensors do not report any humanoid life signs ma'am. But I can't find a hidden place where to hide.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Lets out an expletive:: *Shuttle*: If you can hear me, Keep a safe distance from the Cormanii ship. Just scan and return to Dublin. ::Awaits reply::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@FCO: Okay, land, but not too awfully close.  ::sighs::  All: Security goes first, then on their okay, we move away from the shuttle.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Turns to the Chief:: CEO: You were monitoring the signal strength?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CNS: Sometime you'll have to tell me the story, when you're ready. ::Harker had too many of her own war stories to shares easily and knew what he must be thinking.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::heard Quon's last remark, almost missing it and 'leaves' a question mark in his mind about it::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: goes back to her seat and gives herself a dose :: Self: Sheesh, almost forgot.

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: thinks about the CTO leg and wonder how much awfully close is:: XO: 500 meters ma'am?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Continues to relay the Captain's message through the communication's channel, hoping to get through.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::crosses rifle strap over opposite shoulder so she wouldn't lose it, if she fell.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@FCO: That's close enough, yes.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::keeps himself from staring into space, and looks her in the eye:: CTO: Well...yes. I believe you will understand.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: Yes Sir, as I was telling Cadet Daniels... if we map the signal strength of the communications, we might get a better idea of the weak spots and patterns. Obviously signals can get through easier if there is less interference. We could also send out shuttles with active radio beacons in a grid pattern and chart that way, Sir.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::Simply nods in understanding and leaves him be.::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: This is weird ma'am; the scans show a total lack of large herd animals in the area. 

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::leans toward the scans::  FCO:  That is not good.  Any unusual radiation picked up?

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Leans over the console obviously frustrated.:: CEO: You sure we can't have all our RCS thrusters any sooner?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::looks down on the shuttle floor and sighs slightly, then looks up at Tessa::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: Minimal residual radiation... all from the ship

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::listens to the conversation between the xo and FCO.::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: Nothing classified as harmful, maybe something else scared them.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@ALL: Not everyone should go in, in case there's something wrong. Who needs to enter?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@~~~CNS:  Imzadi?  We will speak soon...I want to know.~~~  ::gives him a comforting look back::

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: The thrusters aren't the problem Sir. The Reaction Control System is for attitude control and close in maneuvers, it won't lift the ship. We need the Impulse Drives for that Sir.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@~~~XO: I was not forthcoming with her. I did fight someone once...and yes, I promise to relate the story to you when the time is right.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::breathes deeply, considering::  FCO:  No life signs, right?

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: sits back and waits and looking out of the small window ::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::looks wonderingly at Quon, since he never mentioned this before and feels for him::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: No sentient humanoid species, but they could be shrouded.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@FCO:  Go ahead and land as planned.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CEO:  You can't leave the atmosphere if you can't maneuver. So thrusters are the issue, we just have to give them enough power, or find a way to launch this thing like a rocket.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@XO:  Myself, my two officers and perhaps one or two more should enter the vessel.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@CMO:  It would seem your precaution is not in vain.  Radiation should not be a problem since we will not stay long.

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: Aye ma'am.  :: flies toward the area and slowly lands the shuttle::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@XO: Ma'am, I certainly hope not.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@CTO:  Paige...let your other officers enter first.  I'd like you to stay outside of the enemy vessel...your injury...sorry.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: The RCS system is already fixed Sir, It's part of what my folks are doing on their second shift. But, as I said, the entire RCS array doesn't have the thrust to lift the ship by itself, you need the Impulse Drives to move us, the RCS will keep us stable and allow us to turn.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@XO: I understand. ::highly put out.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::but understanding.::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Has no clue what the CEO and CO are talking about.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@XO: Which two members of the AT will go with my officers?

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: Ma'am would you like me to lead the team inside the wreck?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@FCO:  Security will lead.  Let's stay just outside the shuttle until they signal all is okay.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@XO: Understood they will explore the whole vessel then come back.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::nods to the two officers sitting across the way.::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@XO: Then ma'am may I suggest one of us stay at the controls in case a fast take off is needed?

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: turns to the CTO :: CTO: How's the leg Paige?

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: lands the shuttle:: All: We are on the ground.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::says reluctantly, but knows she cannot be protective.  Answers Paige's question::  FCO/CNS:  You two will check out the Cormanii vessel if all is okayed.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@CMO: It seems alright. ::slight grin.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::nods to XO.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::looks at the CPO::  FCO: Leary will stay at the controls with the shuttle ready.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::two security officers leave the shuttle.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@XO: Understood.

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@CPO Leary: You heard the Exec Michael. Watch out.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::looks around before looking for an entry point. Harker goes with them to stand near that entry point.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@~~~CNS: Sometimes...it's so hard not to worry...~~~  ::smiles ruefully at Quon::  ~~~Be careful, love.~~~

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::limps behind the other two officers looking around carefully.::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: follows the counselor getting ready to enter the vessel::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: moves to the shuttle hatchway and peers outside ::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::will not let anyone enter until her two give the all clear.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::exits the shuttle to stand by the door and observe the others and the vessel.  The ship captivates her attention, but a shiver runs down her spine.  Unintentionally has her psionic sense wide open, fearing still::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::stays close to the CTO, noticing her remarkable limping speed:: ~~~XO: I will, Imzadi. We will not throw caution to the wind. I promise.~~~

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@FCO: It'll be your turn soon enough. ::small smile.::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@CTO: I am ready as they come, but I may glow in the dark afterward.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@CTO:  Paige...careful on that leg...not too close, please.  ::hopes the tactical officer won't strangle her for mothering::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::laughs at the FCO's joke.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::just stops from rolling her eyes and says fondly.:: XO: Yes Ma'am I'm fine. ::though leg is aching from the quick limp, Harker focuses on her duties.::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: AS THE AWAY TEAM APPROACHES THE CORMANII VESSEL THEY SEE HUMANOID BONES SCATTERED ABOUT... CHEWED.  LARGE CAT PAW PRINTS ALL OVER THE AREA.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@ALL: Be careful...

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@CTO: Well at least OPS will be able to read with light offs. A predator nearby?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@FCO: Likely. ::looking with the others into every space they pass.::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :: scans the area with her eyes and shakes her head ::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::is feeling very tense here::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@looks around carefully his fingers nervous on the rifle's trigger::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::two tactical left and right in front Harker close by.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Nods as the Chief speaks:: CEO: I agree, supplement the RCS with the impulse drive, it just may do it.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::they form a slight inverted v.:: CNS: You're rear guard for the moment Counselor...

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: I'm sure we can dial it down without lighting the planet on fire Sir. ::grins::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@::starts humming very faintly "the lion sleeps tonight"::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@:: bends down to examine the paw prints ::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::looks around anxiously, her feet feeling as if they could take off at any noise::  CMO:  What do you see?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::nods to Paige:: CTO: I'll do whatever I can. Though I think we should keep our hearing more open here than our eyes.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::whispers:: FCO: Funny..

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CEO: Very good Chief, Let me know when your teams are close

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::nods to CNS, already pushing her senses as far as they would go.::

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
CO: Aye Sir.

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@CTO: Join Starfleet and enjoy exotic safaris.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@ :; places her hand into the print :: Self: Hmm, quite large...carnivorous I think.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@FCO: Sounds like one of their recruitment slogans from the 23rd century.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@FCO: See the universe they said, meet new and interesting species they said...

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@ALL: Everyone just try to listen and keep your eyes open...

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@ ::Moves closer where the doctor is and sees the large feline prints::  CMO:  The roar we heard...  ::looks up into the boulders::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@::whispers to CTO:: CTO: Yes but if properly treated the head could make an interesting trophy:: grins and listens to any noise::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@CMO: Look at this though, the pad prints...six feet?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@:ghost of a smile for the FCO before moving slowly forward, keep senses open and muscles ready...::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@CMO:  There's a break here...  ::moves ahead, following the print marks:: ...and then again.  Very unusual...

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
OPS: Anything from the Away team yet?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@XO: Ma'am stay behind us...

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: moves slowly covering the CTO::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::security team hustles everyone and themselves ahead.::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
@XO: I see it Commander, and by the size, it's large, much larger than what we may expect.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Looks up at the Captain.::  CO:  No, Sir.  Still not within communications range.  Everything is all staticy, but I have charted the weaknesses in the EM field that you requested.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::thinks to self "I got a bad feeling about this..."::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::nods to the doctor, then squats down to examine a bone, then another and holds it for Danara to see::  CMO: Look at the size and power of these canines!!

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@::leans in close to Paige and whispers:: CTO: Be at ease, commander.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Looks up and nods, and then returns to looking at the display.::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@:: looks carefully at all the spots where a big cat could hide::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::remembers the dinosaur books she had as a child, a vision of black/yellow feline coming to mind::  CMO:  Saber-tooth tigers on Earth they called them.  Check out the deep side gashes in the bone.  These fangs have some length on them!

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CO:  Do you think we'll be able to get off the planet, Captain?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
@::jerks in the direction of CNS's voice, slight smile.:: CNS: I'll be fine thanks though. ::continues to look around::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Gives her a smile: OPS: Cadet...You have doubts......

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::looks up at Paige and Quon, finally hearing:: CNS/CTO:  Oh sorry, just got carried away.  This cat is big and mean!

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Continues to monitor the repairs and the EM field data, working on a map of the weak spots and field strengths. Occasionally monitors status reports, as she still technically has the Conn::

FCO_Ens_Delgado says:
@CTO: No entrance found yet?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CO:  No, Sir.  ::Smiles at him.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
@::stands and looks at the vessel::  All:  That Cormanii ship...big enough for a great cat to live in?  These bones scattered all over....

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
@XO: That is a concern indeed, but please do not stray too far in your investigations. ::tries not to sound too protective of her, but can't help it::
