CSO_Rya says:
@::Gets on to the transporter pad.::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Take us out, bring us by the nebula then continue in a routine system sweep.

CTO_Nimitz says:

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods as well:: CNS: The AT just beamed down. I am honestly curious.

CSO_Rya says:
$::Starts scanning with her tricorder while the other science officers spread out and begin their tasks.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::materializes on the planet and turns:: SFI: Of course... CSO/TO: Fan out ahead of us about 3 meters, scan for those power and weapons signatures

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Establish a direct COM link to the Europa's probe in nebula.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: nods to the other TAC officers to fan out ::

CSO_Rya says:
$CMO: Aye sir. ::Nods to Dr. Gray, Ens. Markson and Lt. Davel.

Host CO_Senn says:

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::waits until he's done, then speaks up again:: CMO: Shard and I will need to investigate independent of the group, for a bit. We'll maintain contact, and stay close... but proceedures you know...

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  As am I.  I admit that I would have liked to have the opportunity to look around.  The study of life and their cultures was my major interest at the Vulcan Academy.

TO_Astley says:
@::notices the CO looking back at her and she gets nervous all of a sudden::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::turns back to the SFI:: SFI: Yes... I expect to be informed of your progress on a regular basis, and if you find anything let us know.

CSO_Rya says:
$ ::Takes a moment, while walking, to look up from her tricorder and check out the scenery.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::nods and walks off with Shard in tow, moving fairly fast::

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: I would honestly like that as well. But between you and Zaldivar, I am wary of trying to get out of this ship ::lips twitch with a hint of humor::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye. ::Connects to the Probe:: XO: Probe coming in clearly.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::arrives on the brige and sits at the helm::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: I will leave it to you to monitor the incoming data.  Make sure you relay it to the Europa.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO:  Good Morning Mr. Felhaber

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: Anyway, the Hudson started its patrol. I foresee an influx of data from the probe soon.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye. ::Patches to the Europa and feeds the data back::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::takes out his tricorder and follows just behind the forward science group, and taps his combadge:: COMM: CO: Foley to Senn. Captain the away team has arrives safely on the surface and we are proceeding with out investigation. Commander West's team is proceeding separately from the main group, advise you keep a separate lock on them at all times.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::makes a brief nod to the XO:: XO: Hello, sir.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::hopes that he wouldn't be questioned about his late appearance for his duty shift::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::looks back at Tactical again:: Astley: Keep the different transporter locks on the AT and let me know if you find something we might want to warn them about.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::heads deeper into the settlement, whispering to Shard who splits off a bit, pacing slightly behind::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO:  OPS has laid in a course that will bring us close to the mysterious nebula first then continue in a sweep of the system.

CSO_Rya says:
$ ::The devastation of the planet disturbs her. Why would someone intentionally cause this much destruction?::

TO_M`Tor says:

TO_Astley says:
@CO:  Aye Captain ::trying not to let her nervousness show::

Host CO_Senn says:
@COM: CMO: Understood, doctor. We will do so. Maintain us updated of your findings.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods at the ensign and turns to look at the main viewer to hide a grin::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::calls ahead:: CSO/TO: Anything yet on your scans... ::looks to the TO:: TO: Commander West can handle things Ensign, that won't be necessary.

TO_Astley says:
@::continuing monitoring the transporter locks::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::looks at the display at the helm::  XO: Aye, sir.

TO_M`Tor says:
$:: frowns :: CMO: Understood Sir.... :: signals to the 2 to return ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::unslings a device from his shoulder and starts scanning, simultaneously opening a link with the BlackBox::

CSO_Rya says:
$CMO: Not yet Commander.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ CMO: Negative Sir.. .:: stares at the tricorder ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ <Shard> ::moves confidently through the old settlement, looking for a working computer terminal::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO/FCO:  I wanted to let you know, you both did a good job with the tactical plans for the Hudson.

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: (info from the probes and Hudson)

As was stated several weeks ago, several different elements in the nebula.. mostly space particles.. the one unknown element appears to be slightly radioactive, but not terribly so.
 FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Thank you, sir.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::looks out at the screen before her, almost as if she could see down to the planet::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Thank you captain. I recommend going to yellow alert

OPS_Taylor says:
::Scans the radioactive material::

CSO_Rya says:
$ <Dr. Gray>: Heads towards the ruins.::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Inform the Europa that we will be visiting the Nebula briefly before settling in to our system patrol.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Begin Yellow Alert.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ T'Vigal: Take Left... McArthur Right and report every 5 minutes

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::taps badge:: *Shard*: Have you found anything yet, Shard?

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye,

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM Europa: We are visiting the Nebula before heading out.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$CSO/TO: Well keep scanning... There's a mystery here and we need to solve it... 
Ensign M'Tor send those two men up forward to scout out the wreckage

CTO_Nimitz says:
::puts the Hudson in Yellow alert::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::After a moment, turns and walks over to one of the unoccupied science stations and keys in her command codes::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::drums her fingers on her forearm::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$<Shard> *SFI*: Negative, Commander, still looking.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$::closes the comm channel and looks around, trying to visually date everything, and what to expect::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::doesn't like it, but it was obvious they would do so:: COM: Hudson: Understood. ::not going to tell them to be cautious. They should know by now....::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks at the XO:: XO: Yellow Alert is that a little to early, sir?

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Sir, we are approaching the outer limits of the nebula.  I am bringing the Hudson to a halt.  ::keys in the commands::

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: The Away Team(s) are searching the planet's surface.. so far, nothing except more Starfleet energy signatures.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ CMO: Aye Sir... :: nods to the 2 officers ::

CSO_Rya says:
$::Nods to the CMO and continues, with her team, to scan for the Federation like energy signals the probe detected.::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: No, I want the crew at the ready for anything un-expected.  We'll return to green when we reunite with the Europa.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Automatically adjusts the settings, fine tuning them as if she had never left that position::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Continue monitoring for incoming ships.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::turns to Astley:: Astley: Keep the Hudson in sensors. Just in case ::looks down uncomforatbly before turning back to pay attention to the reports on her armchair console::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Check in with the probe, lets see what it has to tell us.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ <Shard> ::manages to find a port and plugs in his equipment, kneeling as he works his own computer::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: If a butterfly is 5 light years far and coming, I'll know it.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Checks in with the Probe::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::lays in an evasive maneuver course away from the nebula just in case something happens::

TO_Astley says:
@CO:  Understood ::keeping the Hudson on sensors just in case::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Use the SRS to begin a detailed scan of the unknown element.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Checks the location of the AT and verifies a transporter lock on them::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::watches his navigational sensors for any signs of incoming ships::

CSO_Rya says:
$CMO: The energy signatures do seem to be StarFleet signatures, but they are different, more efficient or advanced.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: growls :: CMO: Sir .. this seems like Starfleet Signature .. However .. more efficient  .. I think.. :: shakes head ::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: I only want to know about the butterflies with warp propulsion and heavy weaponry thank you very much.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$::taps badge, a little rushed:: *SFI*: Sir, I've found... something. Nothing to report as yet though. Would you like me to keep you appraised?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
<Shard>

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Aye, sir.  ::accesses short range sensors and locates a pocket of the unknown element::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::watches his scans and looks up at the TO:: TO: Yes, I confirm that... ::taps combadge:: COMM: CO: Captain, so far our surface scans here are confirming what the probe data originally told us, Starfleet power signatures are quite present, but they're different somehow... we have yet to encounter a source though... we will report in when we do so.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$::looks at his scanner, pinpointing Shard's blip:: *Shard*: I'm not coming up with anything useful yet, just questions. I'll come to you. West out.
CSO_Rya says:
$::quickens her pace towards the structures.::

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: There is a moderate-level energy below the Away Team(s).. it appears they are at the main power complex portion of the colony.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::exchanges a glance with Tsalea:: COM: CMO: That is highly.... well interesting to say the least. See if you can find any information about the people who built that complex.

TO_M`Tor says:
$CMO : Sir... I believe the source is .. underground.

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Sir, I have begun scanning a small pocket of the unknown element.  It is approximately 5,000 km from our current position.  ::watches the scan begin::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::looks around and scans:: CSO/TO: Yes, scan for any indication of a hatch, or entranceway of somekind to down below...

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: I am getting the data as we got from the Europa before we left.

CSO_Rya says:
$ CMO: It appears that we're above a power complex of some sort sir.

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: You underestimate butterflies. My people once underestimated the tribbles and that costs us a terrible war, songs are still sung about our great victory against that terrible enemy

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::picks his way though the walkways to come up behind Shard, who doesn't start at all at his entrance.:: Self: Darn Subytt hearing...  ::stoops:: Shard: Found anymore yet?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Move towards the pocket.

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the captain and returns to scans::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks up at the CTO, grinning::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Have the probe move towards the same pocket.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: nods to CMO :: CSO: Lieutenant , I'll shall take this way ... :: points ::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Aye, sir.  ::moves the Hudson toward the pocket at 1/4 impulse::  Reading one quarter impulse, sir.  ETA thirty seconds.

CNS_T`Salea says:
<@>

CTO_Nimitz says:
::daydreaming::Self: That nasty creatures... ::shakes his head::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye. ::Moves the probe ahead.::

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: A tunnel is detected below the rubble, maybe a hatch can be found/made..

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO:  I've heard about the war...::resists the urge to break out laughing:: It was certainly memorable.

CSO_Rya says:
$::Nods to the TO and CMO and goes the other way.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$<Shard>::shakes his head:: SFI: Not yet sir. The DB is a mess. There's a lot missing.

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Sir, if I may add something, it may be easier for us to detect exactly what the element is if we had a physical sample.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
#::taps combadge again:: SFI: Are you getting the same readings of an underground power source?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Good thinking, that is why I asked you to move us closer.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::serious:: XO: That's something we DONT discuss with strangers.

CSO_Rya says:
$ CMO: There appears to be a hatch over here.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::watches our distance to the pocket shrink::  XO: We are approaching the pocket, sir.  The Hudson is holding approximately 130km away.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: I know...but SF has its own records.

CSO_Rya says:
$ ::Starts pushing the rubble out of the way to get a better look.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$::stands:: *CMO*: Confirmed, Commander. But we're not investigating that. How is your team doing?

TO_M`Tor says:
$CMO: Sir.. I believe There's a hatch here ... :: points ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::looks down at his scans and heads over to where the CSO is:: CSO: Good job Lt... now to get it open

TO_M`Tor says:
<hatch that can be made>

FCO_Felhaber says:
::tells himself to stop with his little interjections::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Moves the Probe 150KM ahead of the Hudson::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ <Shard> ::continues working, ignoring the "brass"s conversation::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Prepare a sterile and self contained storage space for a sample of this element.

CSO_Rya says:
$ ::Looks up briefly at the CMO and nods before returning to her work...pushing rubble 
away.::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::reviews department's reports, as well as several invitations she has received to dine with civilian members of the crew. As if she had time to have a social life beyond the ocassional pool game... Perhaps some people think they are in a luxury liner.::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Very good.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
*SFI* We may be about to enter the structure itself... we may loose contact, I'm sending you our position if you need to investigate ::taps tricorder::

TO_M`Tor says:
$ hears the CSO's comments and heads in her direction and shakes his head at his distraction ::

TO_Astley says:
@::still maintaining sensor lock on the Hudson and the AT on the surface::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::stands in a stoic warrior posture:: :: whispering so he cant be heard:: Federation lies...

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye. ::Takes a sample element and beams it into a sterile area in Cargobay 1::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::looks at his device and reads the data:: *CMO*: All right, I have you. We'll follow in a bit. If we lose contact, we'll still find you. Is that all, Commander?

CSO_Rya says:
$TO/CMO: I could use some help here gentlemen.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Container in Cargobay1, sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::kneels down and helps the CSO to clear after closing his tricorder::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Something wrong Mr. Nimitz? ::barely able to contain the laughter::

CSO_Rya says:
$::smiles:: Thank you Commander

TO_M`Tor says:
$ T'Vigal/McArthur: We have found a possible entrance .. do not explore too far... we may lose contact.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ <Shard> ::gets a little excited as he manages to isolate a nugget of data and downloads it, running his decryption algorithms::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Assign a sci/eng detail to maintain a constant surveillance of the element.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: arrives next to the CMO and CSO and does a detail scan ::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Kindly reclaim the probe and return to the Europa's system.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::keeps his evasive maneuver ready for execution::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$CSO: Of course Lt, who says command isn't exciting... ::pauses and lays his tricorder open on the ground and continues:: TO: Mind lending a Klingon hand here, Ensign

CTO_Nimitz says:
::simulates being busy:: XO: Excuse me sir? I'm a little too busy, I dont even remember what we were talking about

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Aye, sir.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Amazingly neither do I.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye. ::Pushes a few buttons and the orders are sent to Engineering and Science.::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::looks over at OPS::  OPS: Can you redirect the probe to shuttlebay 2, sir?

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: nods :: CMO: Aye Sir :: begins to remove the rubble and digs with the knife he removes from his boot ::

CSO_Rya says:
$::The other science officers, except Dr. Gray, pitch in.::

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: The rubble is cleared, a metal hatch (composed of a tritanium alloy) is visible.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::lays in a course back to the Europa and awaits the arrival of the probe in Shuttlebay 2::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$*SFI* That's all for now, continue on, report in if you find anything.

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: That's a shame, I'm sure it was something interesting but I cant recall it. Strange. My memory is generally good. ::he's not a good actar AT ALL::

OPS_Taylor says:
FCO: Probe on its way.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::the bridge sounds silent, although busy, but she still would have preferred to lead the AT on her own. Perhaps next time::

CSO_Rya says:
$::Dusts her hands off on her pants and scans the hatch::

TO_M`Tor says:
$ CMO: Permission to open it Sir ?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ *CMO*: Acknowledged. West out.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::goes back to watching Shard work before having to step back::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Hmm? I'm sorry, did you just detect a deadly butterfly?  ::trying to match the CTO's stilted acting::
FCO_Felhaber says:
OPS: Thank you, sir. ::watching Shuttlebay 2 relay::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::nods and stands:: CSO: Step back ::looks to the TO:: Go ahead

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM: Europa: Captain the Probe is on its way back.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$<Shard> SFI: I got it! ::rockets to his feet::

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: pulls on the hatch to open it ::

CSO_Rya says:
$::quickly gets out of the way::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::too no one in particular::  the Probe has been secured in Shuttlebay 2.  I am engaging our course back to the Europa.  ::engages the course::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::finally some news :: COM: Hudson: Acknowledged, Lt. I trust your systems were not badly affected by your incursion into the nebula?

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Not yet. But don't overconfident. Some day a giant butterfly.. ::realizes his Klingon pride is taking him to far:: Nothing in the sensors captain

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: When that day comes I hope you are there to face it with me.

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM Europa: I have send all the sensor data back to the Europa and we have a canister of the nebula under observation.

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: We are out of the nebula, sir.  Jumping to Warp 2 until we return to the Europa's system.  ::engages the warp engines::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COM: Europa:   How goes the AT?

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: scans the inside and looks inside with his palm beacon ::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::decides to close with a famous phrase:: XO: I'll follow you to the very flames of hell

CSO_Rya says:
$::Moves closer to the opening and begins scanning as well.::

Host CO_Senn says:
@COM: Triton: The signatures are Starfleet, but either more advanced, or more efficient. Nothing further so far, they are digging more information as we speak.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Mind scans through the incoming data seeing nothing new and yet logic (Does not touch instinct) says there should be something::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::moves a little closer:: TO: Take point Ensign, Lt. Rya, you will follow me.

CSO_Rya says:
$ CMO: Aye sir.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: nods :: CMO: Aye Sir.. :: heads down the hole ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::looks down at Shard's display, watching the sensor data scroll by:: Shard: That's more information than I thought you would have gotten. How can that be?

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Sir, shall I resume our patrol route or are we to rendesvouz with the Europa?

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Just call me and I'll be fighting by your side anytime

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Resume patrol.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO:  I would expect no less.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ <Shard> ::shrugs:: SFI: It's really more information than it *should* be, really. It's stored incredibly compressed, but accesses faster than anything I've ever seen. I don't know who stored this data, but it wasnt' one of our computers.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::follows after three seconds and walks after M'Tor, attatching and switching on his wrist beacon::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Pushes the command Panel::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: Aye, sir.  ::changes our course and alters speed to warp 1:: We are now on our patrol route on the outskirts of the system, sir.  Speed warp 1.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:

CSO_Rya says:
$:: Follows the CMO Foley in after activating her wrist beacon.::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::monitoring navigational sensors to get a good look 'ahead'::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
::downloads the data to a PADD::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::sighs:: Shard: I thought so... All right, Archive whatever you can.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Frowns as a warning light catches her eyes::  CO:  I have lost transporter lock on the AT.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: descends into the hole his phaser and palm beacon forward ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::taps badge:: *CMO*: West to Foley.

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: the Away Team's tricorders suddenly detect several life forms about 10 meters below them, in yet another tunnel..

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO/FCO:: Status?

Host CO_Senn says:
@::stands up, looking back at both science and tactical consoles:: CNS, TO: Try to reestablish that lock.

Host CO_Senn says:
@COM: CMO: Commander Foley, we have lost our transporter lock on you people. What's your status?

CSO_Rya says:
$::Sees the data on her tricorder and urgently taps the CMO on the shoulder.::

TO_M`Tor says:
$ CMO: Sir .. :: whispers :: I detect life forms 10 meters away .. in another tunnel.

OPS_Taylor says:

TO_Astley says:
@CO:  Aye Captain  ::tries to reestablish the lock::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::scans for ships in the area:: XO: No ships detected by now

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::nods as she is in the process of doing that::

FCO_Felhaber says:
XO: We are on our patrol route on the outskirts of the system, sir.  Traveling at warp 1.  Navigational sensors show a clear path ahead of us, sir.  Nothing noteworthy.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::hears a scratchy, grating and hard to listen to voice on his combadge, knows it has to be Commander West:: *SFI* Foley here, I can barely hear you

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  Try communication...  We are losing a strong lock on that as well.

Host CO_Senn says:
@TO: Also, scan the area where they are... see if you can make something of what could be jamming our locks.

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: Total number of life forms is between 20 and 30.. more specific count is impossible, as well as what race they are.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
::stands and moves towards his ready room::

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: I just commed them. They just aren't answering.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: You have the bridge. Stand down from yellow alert.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::turns to the CSO:: CSO: Yes Lt?

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ *CMO*: One moment, Commander. ::nods back to Shard to turn on his comm booster:: Better now, Commander?

TO_Astley says:
@CO:  Aye Captain  ::scans for any reason why this is occurring::

CSO_Rya says:
$CMO <w>: There are up to 30 lifeforms near us in another tunnel.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  Something should be getting through, even if limited.

OPS_Taylor says:
CTO: Stand down from Yellow alert.

CTO_Nimitz says:
OPS: Understood ::goes back to green condition::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::tries again:: COM: AT: Senn to Away team. Answer please. What is your status?

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$CSO: All right ::calls ahead:: TO: Hold up here for now...

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Makes some adjustments to boost their signal::

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: CMO: I cannot determine specific lifeforms .. yet .. however if we move forward...

Host CO_Senn says:
@::walks to the OPS station and tries to clear the comm signal::

TO_Astley says:
@CO:  Captain, I am having trouble maintaining a full lock, I would not recommend transporting until I get a full stable lock on the AT

CSO_Rya says:
$::Studies the tricorder data.:: CMO: Ens. M'Tor is right. We can't determine who or what they are from here.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  You will find rubble in the vacinity of their area.  It's composition is unclear, but it appears to be what is hindering our signals.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: waits ::

Host CO_Senn says:
@TO: It's something at least I guess. Work with the transporter techs and see if you can beam down some pattern enhancers or... find a way to get a full lock.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
::orders a cafe con leche from the replicator and sits down to read over the PADDs data on the captured element::

TO_Astley says:
@CO:  Understood  CNS:  That appears so

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::Hears another signal:: COMM: CO: Captain? Captain I can barely make out your signal... we've encountered Communication signal scattering under the surface... one second ::taps badge:: *SFI* I can read you Commander, can you route the Europa's comm traffic through your booster?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  Perhaps a more focused beam in their general area might penetrate 'down' toward them.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::sees Shard nod:: *CMO*: Done. But I have a bit of news for you.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$CSO/TO: Keep scanning... but we're not moving any deeper until we can get this com problem solved.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: Work with Astley to get it going then. From what I just heard they seem to be fine. I mean, Foley just put me on hold!

OPS_Taylor says:
CTO: Any ships so far?

Host Lifeform says:
$::moves towards the Away Team slowly..::

CTO_Nimitz says:
OPS: Nothing but dust

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::looks at the captain with a raised eyebrow for the doctor, then returns to working on the signal::

TO_M`Tor says:
$ nods :: CSO: Lieutenant perhaps if we linked our tricorders in parralel we could boost the signal.

CSO_Rya says:
$CMO: Aye sir. ::Runs her tricorder along the sides of the walls, trying to determine their composition::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$*SFI* Thank you Commander, if you can wait one second, I have Captain Senn on the other line ::taps combadge and his signal to the Europa comes up clear:: COMM: CO: Yes Captain, I can hear you now.

FCO_Felhaber says:
OPS: Making a minor course correction, sir.  I'm reading minor subspace turbulence.

TO_Astley says:
@::nods and gets back to work::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::has OPS send a brief report of the AT's status to the Hudson, so they know what is going on::
CNS_T`Salea says:
@::walks over to the TO looking at her for permission to alter controls::

CSO_Rya says:
$ TO: Good idea. ::Gestures for Ens. Markson to work with the TO::

OPS_Taylor says:
FCO: What kind of disturbance?

TO_Astley says:
@::nods approval to the CNS and watches intently::

Host CO_Senn says:
@COM: CMO: All right, Commander. You had us worried for a moment. We don't have a full lock on you people. What's your status?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::raises an eyebrow as the doctor puts him on hold, and his commbadge starts playing advertisements for getting rigellian fever shots early in sickbay::

Host Lifeform says:
$::trying to get closer, to see who or what they are..::

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: nods to Markson and begins to link the tricorders to get a better scan ::

CSO_Rya says:
$::Continues studying her tricorder and frowns.:: CMO: The lifeforms seem to be getting closer.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::engages short range sensors::  OPS: Sir, it appears to be a natural phenomenon.  At our current speed of warp 1, the subspace turbulence would likely knock us out of warp.  

CNS_T`Salea says:
@:;swiftly makes adjustments, narrowing, focusing and refining the beam towards the entrance the AT went through, then steps back with a nod to the TO::

CSO_Rya says:
$::Tries to get a better reading on the lifeform and a more specific location.::

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: raises his head and steps in front of the away team ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$COMM: CO: We've proceeded under the surface of the planet to investigate the power signatures... now we're picking up lifeforms closing on ourt position. There seems to be some kind of interferince from the tunnel we're in on Communications and transporters.

FCO_Felhaber says:
OPS: We could increase speed and barge through it, sir.  But it is easier to change our course by 2 degrees for 20 seconds.
Host Lifeform says:
$Away Team: Who are you, what are you doing here?

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: points his phaser on heavy stun in the direction of the lifeform and waits ::

OPS_Taylor says:
FCO: Log it into the ships log and do the course correction.

TO_Astley says:
@::nods a thank you and steps back to her post to continue working at the job at hand::::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$CSO: I hear you ::turns:: All: Phasers on Stun, do not fire unless provoked or fired upon... ::looks up at the voice and steps up::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::doesn't like that very much:: COM: CMO: Be careful.... keep your tricorder readings linked to our computer here and keep an open commbadge link.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Catches CMO's words and with a touch of annoyance tries to adjust her own scans, using the narrowed beam::

CSO_Rya says:
$::Moves her hand over her phaser.::

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: raises his head in the direction of the voice ::

FCO_Felhaber says:
OPS: Aye, sir.  Turbulence has been logged.  Making the course correction now, sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::closes their end of the link so the voices on the bridge won't be a problem for the AT and turns back to the CNS and TO::

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: waits for the CMO's command ::

OPS_Taylor says:
CTO: Keep an eye on that turbulence.  Also any word from Europa?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$::keeps the channel open and sets his device to run an ascending tone the closer he gets to the away team's coordinates:: Shard, let's go.

CSO_Rya says:
$::Makes sure her phaser is set on stun, but doesn't aim it at the lifeform, yet.::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Runs hands along, making adjustments and reading the incoming data::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::steps forward, closest to the lifeform:: COMM: CO: Captain I've made contact... stand by ::closes channel:: Lifeform: I'm Lt. Commander David Foley of the Federation starship USS Europa, we're investigating this structure here, do you live here?

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: holds breath and awaits the response ::

CTO_Nimitz says:
OPS: Yes sir. Nothing since the last report. Apparently they have found an unknown lifeform

Host CO_Senn says:
@::sees Foley closed the channel and frowns. She gave him an order not to, what part didn't he understand?::
 CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO/TO:  We should be able to maintain a lock on the AT, but I am unable to lock onto any other life form.  I would 'guess' they are wearing some form of a dampner.

CSO_Rya says:
$::Studies the lifeform in front of them::

CTO_Nimitz says:
OPS: Actually dozens of them, upper lifeforms, maybe intelligent.

Host Lifeform says:
$Foley: That is impossible, the Europa was destroyed 25 years ago.. along with my father...

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::opens into a jog:: Shard: Open a channel to the ship for me, but keep my channel to the main team open.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ <Shard> ::complies:: SFI: Yes Sir.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ COM Europa: Bridge?

Host Lifeform says:
$::steps out from the shadows::
My name is... Michael Taylor.

TO_Astley says:
@::nods::

CSO_Rya says:
$::Tries to get a look at the lifeform::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::sighs:: CNS: I just hope we don't need to beam them out in a hurry.

 CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::steps back only very slightly:: Taylor: Oh my... What year is it?

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION : Michael Taylor is a heck of a good looking guy.. heh.. he should be, he's named after me..

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Looks at her a moment, then turns back to her scans::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
$Foley: It's the year 2430, what year do you think it is?

CSO_Rya says:
$::Scans Michael Taylor with her empathic senses to see if he's lying.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$Taylor: Last time I checked it was 2377... it seems one of us is not where we belong.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: frowns and looks from Taylor to the CMO ::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::takes her seat and wonders if to pout or what. What she is hearing is not.... well, not too nice::

OPS_Taylor says:
ALL: Status?

CSO_Rya says:
$CMO <w>: I don't think he's lying.

FCO_Felhaber says:
OPS: We're back on course and proceeding as normal, sir.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ :: finds the entrance and goes in, turning on his luminar::

CTO_Nimitz says:
OPS: Still awaiting new info from the Europa and the AT

OPS_Taylor says:
CTO/FCO: Thank you.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::second time travel experience of her life, and she's definitely not a fan::

CSO_Rya says:
$CMO <w>: He believes what he's telling us.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
$::holsters his weapon::
2377....
Foley: Commander, I request to see your Captain immediately.. your ship is in grave danger.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::begins to run a check on the time factor trying to use the star charts::

OPS_Taylor says:
CTO: What is our offensive capabilities, right now?

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: shakes head thinking of the time travel paradox ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::walks up silently on the AT, looking at the "arrival"::

TO_Astley says:
@::has a bad feeling that something is going to happen::

CSO_Rya says:
$::Remembers her recent time travel experience on the Titan and shudders.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
OPS: We have reached 100% of a normal ship of this class

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  As far as I can tell, Michael Taylor is from our future.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::looks back to the CSO:: CSO: Thank you... ::looks forward:: Taylor: Well, under the 
circumstances I would have to agree

Host CO_Senn says:
@::opens the comm link on her end:: COM: CMO: I will receive Mr. Taylor..... ::wonders if she should let the Hudson know. How will the news affect the crews of both ships?::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::stops and thinks a moment::  CO:  We are in the future.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::crosses her arms, pacing:: CNS: We will have to do some tests to be sure of his being who he claims to be. But right now, and after the kind of technology we have seen down there, it does not surprise me.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  It would fit current data.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$Taylor: If you'll follow us, I think it's best we head up quickly

OPS_Taylor says:
CTO: alright.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: I need you to inform Commander Zaldivar of this. I am sure you will find a way to deliver the news that will be better than mine.

CSO_Rya says:
$::Steps back slightly and notices West.::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::looks at the captain with raised eyebrow, then turns to communication::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
$Foley: Of course. My men will stay here. We are what is left of this colony..

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::glances at Rya, then back at the man before them, arms folded::
 CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::walks:: Taylor: Tell me, what happened?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM: Hudson: XO:  This is Cmd T'Salea.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: blinks and looks behind Taylor ::

CSO_Rya says:
$CMO: Permission to stay behind and meet with the other colony members sir?

Host Michael_Taylor says:
$Foley: All in good time Commander..

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COMM: T'salea: This is Zaldivar.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ CSO: Umm... Lieutenant .. I believe we would be violating the temporal prime directive if we interracted with these people.

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$::reaches the tunnel entrance and makes it to the surface:: COMM: CO: Perpare to beam up the AT, plus one.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM: XO:  Commander, we seem to have clarified some of the discrepancies in our data.  It would appear the Wormhole has sent us into the future.  We are currently about to meet Lt. Taylor's son.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods at the TO:: TO: Beam them up, ensign.

CSO_Rya says:
$::Mutters under her breath about the temporal prime directive.:: TO: Perhaps.

TO_Astley says:
@::thinks his son as she beams them up::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
::stands bolt upright:: COMM: T'salea:  I'm sorry, did you  say the future? and Taylor has a son?

Host CO_Senn says:
@COM: CMO: Please bring Mr. Taylor to my ready room once you are back onboard. Have everyone else prepare their reports as well.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:  XO:  Correct.

TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: follows the CMO and CSO looking over his shoulder ::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: Michael Taylor and the Away Team(s) is (are) beamed aboard...

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COM: CNS: Who is going to tell our Mr. Taylor?

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$CSO/TO: Technically we've all ready violated the TPC, so you can put your minds at ease... it's all down hill from here

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
<TPD>

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
*OPS*: To my ready room right now Mr. Taylor.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: I'll be in my ready room. I think I'll like to deal with this with a cup of tea. ::shakes her head and enters her private realm::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::continuing with his regular helm duties, piloting the Hudson along its patrol route::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM: XO:  He is with you, however, if you would prefer that i tell him...

CSO_Rya says:
$CMO: Then may I return to the surface and continue our studies?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::nods toward the captain::

 TO_M`Tor says:
$ :: blinks :: CMO: Aye Sir.. understood ... I think... :: shakes head ::

OPS_Taylor says:
*XO*: Aye. ::Nods at the CTO, and walks into the Ready room::

CMO_LtCmdr_Foley says:
$CSO: Not quite yet Lt, we should hear what Mr. Taylor has to say

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COMM: CNS: I ' can handle it, Zaldivar out.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Sit down.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
$ ::follows:: Self: I really hate these kinds of missions... ::sighs, leaving the device working::

CSO_Rya says:
$::sighs and nods::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Problem, sir? ::Sits::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::approaches the replicator and gets a cup of tea, waiting for Mr. Taylor to chime::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Steps up toward the command chair, standing behind it, hands crossed behind her, looking out at the planet and the interesting twist they now find themselves::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: I have unexpected  news...problematic but not a problem ::Triton smiles:: good news actually.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::jumps to the big chair:: Yes!!

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Good news, sir?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: You are expecting a child.. a son?

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@::chimes the door to the Captain's Ready Room::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Yes, in 4 months, sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::looks up from her cup:: Taylor: Enter.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::looks at the stranger who bares a resemblence to Taylor::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::gives the FCO that Klingon look meaning "You tell anyone and you're kapput" but also gives him a big smile::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: The wormhole transported us into the future...I can't say this in any other way.  The captain will be meeting a Mr. Michael Taylor, the AT found him on the planet.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::keeps his eyes glued to his console as he has no desire to anger a Klingon::

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: I am.... pleased to meet you. I guess. ::feeling uncomfortable:: Please take a seat.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Can you repeat that?  My son here?  The Future?

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Senn: Thank you seeing me Captain. ::takes a seat::

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: May I offer you something to drink?

 Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Permission to return to the Europa is granted.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Senn: Water would be Captain, thank you.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
would be fine

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Thank you sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::gets him a glass of water and hands it to him, then sits down:: Taylor: We have a lot to talk about.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks out and heads to the Shuttlebay::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Senn: Yes, we do..
