@::In the shuttle, piloting it toward the planet's surface.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::sitting in the command chair::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
::On the Bridge keeping tabs on the data up-link::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: What is the status of our data link?

CMO_Calahan says:
@::checks the location of her Bat'leth once more before she takes a seat and checks through the blood supply once more::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: 75% complete Captain

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: What's the threat board look like? Anyone out there that we need to be concerned about?

CTO_Nimitz says:
::sitting next to Llewellyn::

TO_Hexx says:
@<SO_Bunsen>::In the shuttle, wringing his hands nervously, trying to figure out how he keeps getting sent into dangerous situations.::

TO_Hexx says:
@::Whistles a happy tune as they approach the surface.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Time estimate of when the data upload is complete?

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: I hope my Comm Badge holds out

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: 30 minutes give or take a couple of minutes sir

CMO_Calahan says:
@::senses the anxiety and looks up momentarily at Bunsen:: SO: You really have very little to worry about. We shouldn't come into contact with any of the creatures.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: It should... those things last quite a long time. ::hears the time estimate::  Very good. Let me know when it is complete.

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
::Nods:: Aye sir

CMO_Calahan says:
@::snaps the case shut and sets it back to its place, then walks up to the chair near the TO:: TO: In your opinion, phaser fire doesn't effect these creatures, yes?

TO_Hexx says:
<SO_Bunsen> ::Nods at the CMO and tries a smile, but is still worried.::

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan> ::runs a search in the database over the DNA samples that Keely worked with...the ones they pulled from the bodies....she then shudders,t hinking of hte bodies...::

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: Nothing, sir. That Breen ship is running completely silent.

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
::Runs through the calculations for the cloaking screen for the outpost::

TO_Hexx says:
@CMO: Well ma'am, all I know is that the fellers on the planet tried it, and they're still dead.  Might be they kilt a whole lot of 'em, and these are all that's left, but I'm a thinkin' not.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::Nods:: CTO: Our estimates say it should be here in about 6 hours... a little over... we should be out of the area at that time. ::smiles::

TO_Hexx says:
@::Brings the shuttle into the atmosphere and heads for the outpost.::

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan> ::sighs and crosses her arms about her, wishign the images in her mind away....on a spare thought, she taps her combadge:: *CO*: Captain, I am currently running a database search on the DNA that Dr. Calahan pulled from the bodies. We were able to pull three sizable samples of DNA....

CMO_Calahan says:
@TO: Can you think of a weapon that would harm them?

CMO_Calahan says:
@::doesn't mention she has the bat'leth stashed away....but eh....she doesn't mention that she also has her blades on her person either..those are minor details::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*MO*: Interesting... what have you found thus far? Keely said there were no matches in the database... are you running a different type of analysis?

TO_Hexx says:
@CMO: ::Chuckles::  Speculatin' ain't my department, but if our phasers won't do it, they might be resistant to energy weapons.  So Maybe that frog sticker you brought'll do the trick.  Maybe not.  ::Smiles.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::stands up and heads for the engineering console:: CEO: What about the outpost? Will the Breen be able to detect it once we leave the system?

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: Yes. She expanded the samples with gel electrophoresis-type process.....they match perfectly. I mean, not even one base out of place. Perfectly....and they were found in different ares of hte outpost, so it was either the same creature or....::shrugs slightly::

CMO_Calahan says:
@::snorts slightly:: TO: Frog sticker?

TO_Hexx says:
@CMO: Well, whatever Klingons stick with 'em then.  Targ sticker?

TO_Hexx says:
@Sees they are approaching the coordinates.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*MO*: Same creature? But the Away team saw... ::looks over at the CTO:: ten or so of them? Are they clones?

CMO_Calahan says:
@::flicks her writs slightly so the Klingon dagger handle shows in the palm of her hand- so only the TO sees it:: TO: I would call this, a frog sticker, Ensign. Bat'leths are crafted more preciesly and wield more damage.

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan> ::sighs and rubs her forhead:: *CO*: We honestly don't know. It is probable....Dr. Calahan suspects that it coudl be, seeing as how it is doubtful the creatures move that quickly....

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: I have the screens up sir,I think they'll hold alright

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*MO*: Out with it... what is your other suspicion?

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: I don't believe they will be able to find it,If they do I have a surprise waiting for them

TO_Hexx says:
@::Looks at the hidden knife and then the CMO again.::  CMO: Yes Ma'am, whatever you say.  ::Starts to find the CMO more and more attractive.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles at the CEO:: CEO: Surprise? What surprise would that be?

CTO_Nimitz says:
::turns at Llewellyn's question:: CO: Whether they are clones or they have a good dentist. Another option would be if only the leader, or something, took care of the victims.

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: The shuttle begins the scans. The neutronium shield is making scans extremely difficult, but the shuttle IS able to pick up the creatures in the outpost. No other creatures detected however.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::slides it back into the sheath, then stands and walks to the back of the shuttle, where it is quieter...::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: Well sir,I'm not to fond of the Breen...I have set up sensor triggered detonators inside,If they sense anything but human life signs then....

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan> ::frowns:: *CO*: I don't have another suspision....Dr. Calahan might, but I don't.

TO_Hexx says:
@SO_Bunsen: Hey Doc, make sure you get a record of all this.

TO_Hexx says:
<SO_Bunsen> ::Works the science console and nods at the TO.::

CMO_Calahan says:
@::sits cross legged on the floor and stepples her fingers...then closes her eyes and begins concentrating on the creatures....looking for them...searching for them...::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Let's make sure starfleet personnel know about it... after all.. I am not exactly human ::winks:: I'd hate to blow up a mine because I don't have the right DNA sequence.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*MO*: Understood. Thank you Ms Doylan.

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan>*CO*: Don't mention it.. ::hopes her voice doesn't sound too....disgusted, tensed, stressed, all of hte above...::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: Well sir Starfleet personell are ok since they have com signatures ....A little contingency I built in to the sensors...Not to worry

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: CEO: Officer thinking.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CEO: You humans, three centuries of Federation and you still think you're the only ones in Starfleet. Will the detonations destroy the outpost?

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: Sir I am not in that way of bias thinking sir,And no it will not destroy the outpost. only the equipment inside,As well as the power grid

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: Won't kill any Breen either unless.....

CTO_Nimitz says:
CEO: Unless...

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: Thier sittin on the equipment of course

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
::Hears Dyani's voice and wonders if she is alright::

TO_Hexx says:
@<SO_Bunsen> ::Continues monitoring the sensors and recording the readings.::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
::Grins at the CTO::

TO_Hexx says:
@All: Awright, I'm gonna move us off aways, see if these critters got a den somewhere's nearby.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::continues searching with her mind::

CTO_Nimitz says:
CEO: So much for the fun...we could include some seats near the equipment...

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: data transfer complete captain

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Did you have any additional theories on the... um... what are we calling these things? The hairless cats on the surface, Doylan thought you might.

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: I never knew a Breen that would'nt get a bit nosey at Starfleet technology sir...Have you ?

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
::Another grin ::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::a bit surprised as that seemed quick:: CEO: Great. Start to delete any remaining data, and give me an estimate on how long that will take.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::opens eyes and blinks, her concentration disturbed...she waits a beat and taps her combadge:: *CO*: Well...first off, I cannot sense anything from them at all and we are now moving off from the outpost to see if there is a grouping of them nearby...

CTO_Nimitz says:
CEO: Officer thinking...::grins back::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO:Already have sir.About 25 minutes. That should wipe her clean

CTO_Nimitz says:
::makes his way back to the second chair:: CO: What if we find these creatures are not indigenous (sp?) to this planet? That would mean somebody put them here. That would mean somebody knows of the outpost. That may mean somebody is still around here.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Good. Did you detect the ones at the outpost?... I mean with the sweeps... I am assuming since you sensed nothing you may not be able to sense them at all...

CMO_Calahan says:
@*CO*: As for a second theory....I believe these creatures are genetically engineered or clones of some sort.  :;pauses:: I am confident that I coudl recreate one or more of them in a lab setting easily enough. They are not terriby complex and definitely not sentient- I cannot sense them at all.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Good. Let me know when that is done.

TO_Hexx says:
@Hearing the CO's comment, gives the CMO the affirmative that they are detectable with sensors.::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: What if who ever put them there did'nt know of the outpost,The beasties could have found thier way inside ...maybe

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: Aye captain

CMO_Calahan says:
@*CO*: Yes, we did detect the ones int he outpost, but according to Hexx, not outside the outpost...:;looks to Hexx for conformation in this::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Yes. That is my thought exactly, If someone knew... we have to let Starfleet know.

TO_Hexx says:
@::Continues moving the shuttle around in wider sweeps, humming "Deep in the Heart of Texas"::  CMO: Yep, that's about the size of it.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CEO: Good point, but, although we can't disregard the possibility of that happening, it seems to be a little unlikely. Too much of a coincidence, don't think? Let's hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst.

TO_Hexx says:
@SO_Bunsen: C'mon Doc, join in on the chorus!

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Good that one could be recreated.... but I don't know if that's a really good idea. I think we should get this information back to Starfleet and let them decide what they want to do with it.

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: Aye..never get blind sided that way

CMO_Calahan says:
@::snickers slightly:: *CO*: I just said I could...not that I had any intention of recreating one. I strongly advise against it....as you well know. I concur.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: I think one way or another... if they were implanted into that ecosystem... the people who did so knew about this outpost somehow.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::pauses:: *CO*: But...when you send this, if it is before I get back, have Dyani encrypt the DNA sequences. I will not have anyone getting ahold of their DNA sequences.

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: That would presume .that they were put there for one purpose

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: We'll talk about all that when you get back... I've no intention to send information to SFC and Edwards before we rendezvois with the Europa.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*TO*: What have you detected? Any more of the creatures?

CMO_Calahan says:
@*CO*: Understood.

TO_Hexx says:
@CMO: Well ma'am, I reckon these are it.  No sign of any more of 'em.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CEO: Would it be possible, given the close position of the Europa to us, to focus a subspace radio signal on them, so that signal can't be used by anyone else to track our position?

TO_Hexx says:
@*CO*: Nary hide not hair Cap'n.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Orders were strict radio silence.

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: Aye

CMO_Calahan says:
@::raises an eyebrow and rises to her feet easily enough then walks over to the TO and glances over the sensors, a slightly not to herself....hadn't expected that....they were made for one purpose...::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*TO*: How much of the planet surface have you covered?

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: If we use a very narrow beam with modulating secondary frequencies we can send for about 8 seconds

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: Without being detectable...after that were sitin ducks

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: Data deletion complete captain

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: I know, but if we can use the Europa as some sort of radio beacon, we can send our findings to Starfleet and get some help from the bigger database.

TO_Hexx says:
@*CO*: About 40% of this hemisphere.  I don't reckon these things migrated from the other side just for a quick snack.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Excellent.

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: Only 8 seconds sir...no more

TO_Hexx says:
@::Looks up at the CMO::

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: Not mentioning the possibility of these creatures being part of some Federation clasified investigation.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*TO*: Come back on in, Cowboy. I think we know there aren't any more of those critters down there. ::thinks: Oh my now I am talking like him!::

CMO_Calahan says:
@::raises an eyebrow at Heather's speech and sighs....he will get to all of us....as she looks out of the windows of the shuttle a bit::

CTO_Nimitz says:
CEO: I think that should be enough, al least update them on the situation.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: I think most of our work is done here actually. The only thing now is wether or not we destroy the base...

TO_Hexx says:
@*CO*: Yes ma'am!  ::Smiles::  @All: Alright folks, we're headin' back to the barn.  Wave goodbye to a lovely garden spot on the Federation tourist map.

TO_Hexx says:
@::Turns the shuttle around and heads back to the Praetor.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: I think we should leave and rendezvous with the Europa.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::rolls her eyes and walks the few steps back to the little bench, where she sits down::

TO_Hexx says:
@SO_Bunsen: See there Doc, another mission accomplished!  I think I might take you with me alll the time, yer lucky!  ::Slaps his shoulder.::

TO_Hexx says:
@<SO_Bunsen> ::Groans and goes to sit in the back.::

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: Minor turbulence as the shuttle clears the atmosphere.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: Of course we have to follow the plan, but I was going exploring the possibility of gaining some time by sending Adm Edward the data we've gathered.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::bumps her head on the bulkhead and winces, then rubs the spot a moment....hm.....TO needs to learn how to fly.....::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: Captain should I retrieve my Comm Badge from the outpost?

TO_Hexx says:
@All: Whoohooo!  Say, I think there's some better turbulence over there.  Wanna go giver 'er a try before we head back?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Oh yes! Your badge. Please do so.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Be ready to but the beam screen and what ever else back into place.

TO_Hexx says:
@<SO_Bunsen> Nooo!

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
::Beams his Comm Badge back to the ship::

CMO_Calahan says:
@::moves up to the co-pilot's seat:: TO: I second the SO...

TO_Hexx says:
@CMO: Aw shucks Ma'am, and I took you for a risk taker.  What with yer targ sticker and your sneaky knives.  But, you're the boss.  ::Smiles.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: If we can send a complete data packet.... except for the intellegence we gleaned from the listening post databanks.... if 8 seconds is enough for that then. I agree.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::rolls her eyes:: TO: I would just prefer to get back to the ship without any more of a headache.

TO_Hexx says:
@::Approaches the Praetor.::  CMO: "Physician heal thyself."  ::Winks::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Has the shuttle arrived in the bay yet?

CMO_Calahan says:
@::doesn't add that she is a risk taker.....just not in shuttles. She's never had a shuttle mission she'd come back form without some sort of headache....ever....especially back on Arcadia....:: TO: I broke the nose of hte last person who said that to me. ::smils:: He was a doctor as well....psycologist, really...

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: Allright, sir. CEO: Make a nice selection of the most important data we have, you have to include, of course, everything we've leant about these creatures. Encrypt and tell me when we are ready to broacast.

TO_Hexx says:
@COMM:Praetor: Praetor, this is shuttle one, we're tired, thirsty and covered in trail dust.  Permission to dock?

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: No, sir.

TO_Hexx says:
@CMO: Yeah, don't blame you.  I'd hate psychologists too.

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CTO: My pleasure sir

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO/CTO: You may want to include some medical information. I'd like to take a look at what we transmit before we send anything off. I'll include a recorded debrief for the Admiral.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::almost laughs....funny how she is engaged to a psycologist....::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: Aye sir ..should be in about 10 minutes sir

TO_Hexx says:
@CMO: Now, tactical officers...::Grins.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears the Com, laughs:: *TO*: Permission granted.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::subconciously twirls the ring on her finger as she thinks of Alex for a moment....::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods to the duty ops to open the bay doors::

TO_Hexx says:
@::Brings the shuttle in for docking.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Well I guess that means I had better prepare my message for the admiral. ::stands up::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: Captain the group of data entries is done as you asked,I'm transfering it to your panel now sir

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Transfer it to the ready room. I'll review it in... ::looks at the door and is reminded how the RR on the defiant is much like a closet:: there.

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: Only if you really want to send one sir....::Grins::

TO_Hexx says:
@::Docks the shuttle.::

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: Aye sir it's there when your ready

TO_Hexx says:
All: We're home folks, please make sure you retrieve all your carryon luggage.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::sighs and stands, then retrieves the medical kits.... Ops had beamed the bat'leth back to her quarters already.....::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Medical has some specific concerns that I want to include in this as well. So we'll be sending it off shortly... as soon as I get a report from Doctor Calahan.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: You have the bridge... Once every one has returned... then we should leave the planet.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: Understood, sir.

CEO_LtJg_McGregor says:
CO: Let me know when your ready captain and I'll send her off...The subspace channel is ready to go

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: All: Thank you. ::smiles quite satisfied with her crew and what a wonderful job they are all doing::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::exits the bridge and goes to the ready room to review the material::

TO_Hexx says:
::Secures the shuttle systems and picks up his gear as well.::

CMO_Calahan says:
::walks out of the shuttle and contacts dyani to makes sure she has these prepared fora  report...then she walks out of hte shuttle bay and towards the lift::

TO_Hexx says:
::Exits the shuttle and heads back to his quarters to drop off his gear.::

CMO_Calahan says:
TL: Medical Bay.

TO_Hexx says:
::Wonders if the CMO would consider having dinner with him since it seems they are getting along so well.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: We've decided to issue a packet of information back to Edwards... and I'd like your medical report to be included. How quickly can you get me one?

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: How much detail do you want?

CMO_Calahan says:
::walks back into sickbay, hands off the med kits, and then straight to her office, where Dyani hands her the padds...:: MO: Thank you, you're dismissed....feel free to go take a break. I know how much this has all bothered you. ::smiles at the relieved-looking Dyani::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: A preliminary report for Edwards. As a lay-person he probably doesn't want the details. Let him know about the creatures we detected and inform him about the genetic specifics will be forth coming.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
<forthcoming>

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: Alright. How soon do you want it?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Like every captain everywhere... as soon as is possible ::smile evident in her tone::

CMO_Calahan says:
:;chuckles:: *CO*: Five minutes?

TO_Hexx says:
::Makes his way up to the bridge.::

CMO_Calahan says:
::is already beginning to write the report::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::laughs:: *CMO*: Oh ten to fifteen will be fine.... thanks Keely.

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: Good.
