OPS_Cailand says:
::checks over her..... slight disguise, making sure her hair sufficiently covers her pointed ears, which is rare for her to be seen with her hair down and on duty::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE GENEVA'S CAPTAIN HAS ALREADY LEFT ON HER CAPTAIN'S YACHT
CNS_Bauer says:
CEO: Hi, are we supposed to be here or in the shuttle bay?
CIV_Jacobs says:
::Climbs aboard the waiting shuttle, waiting for the rest of his team to arrive::
EO_Chapu says:
OPS: Engineering to OPS.
TO_Usimov says:
::exits turbo lift onto Transporter Room 2::
CEO_Stricker says:
CNS: We are supposed to be here Lieutenant. Some teams are flying but we are transporting down.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Wishes he were going with Mr. Jacobs::
OPS_Cailand says:
::Raises an eyebrow, tapping her hidden combadge:: *EO*: Yes, Lieutenant?
CNS_Bauer says:
CEO: I see.
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::looks around only to see mostly junior officers on the bridge now:: Self: Wow, I hope we can handle the ship by ourselves.
TO_Usimov says:
CEO/CNS: Hello guys.. Are we ready for this?
CNS_Bauer says:
TO: I'm always ready Kat...... for anything.
EO_Chapu says:
*OPS*: Sorry to call so early, Lt.  Are you currently at your station?
CEO_Stricker says:
TO: Well I know I am Lieutenant.... ::Point to the transporter PADD:: CNS/TO: After you both
CNS_Bauer says:
CEO: Are we bringing phasers?
OPS_Cailand says:
::frowns:: *EO*: No, I am currently awaiting transportation to the surface for an Away Mission. Please contact my junior on the bridge.... your comm was routed to me by default.
XO_Shras says:
*CTO/OPS*: I am waiting for both of you in transporter room one
OPS_Cailand says:
::exits the turbo lift and walks toward the Transporter Room:: *XO*: I am precisely.... three strides away.
CEO_Stricker says:
CNS: Yes Lieutenant, anything else you'd like to ask before we get under way?
TO_Usimov says:
::walks toward transporter padd with the others::
OPS_Cailand says:
::pauses once more, popping her neck, then steps through the doors into the Transporter Room, coming face-to-face with the XO::
EO_Chapu says:
*OPS*:  Sorry about that, Lt.  Thanks anyways.
EO_Chapu says:
*J-OPS*: Engineering to Ops Officer.
OPS_Cailand says:
*EO*: Not a problem, Lieutenant...
CNS_Bauer says:
CEO: If so I'll let you know.
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::smirks:: *EO*: Yes sir?
TO_Usimov says:
CEO: Yes, sir.
CEO_Stricker says:
CNS: I am sure you will. ::Walks to the Transporter padd and stand there with the others:: TC: Energize Chief
EO_Chapu says:
*J_OPS*: Is everything flowing correctly?  I just want to make sure everything is good when we are ready to take off.
OPS_Cailand says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: Sir... ::runs her hand back through her hair, brushing the few tangles out of her dark hair::
CNS_Bauer says:
CEO: So were exactly are we?  
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> *EO*: Checking.... ::taps a few controls:: Yes sir, everything running okay from here. Shall I let ya know if it changes?
CEO_Stricker says:
::As AT 4 energizes on the surface, the team looks around:: TO/CNS: Get out your tricorders and start scanning the area.
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::listens as JOPS talks to engineering::
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: Aye Sir.
TO_Usimov says:
CNS: You sure are full of questions today, aren't you?  I don't think I have ever seen you this jumpy.
EO_Chapu says:
*J_OPS*: If there is any change, and I mean ANY change, please contact me.
XO_Shras says:
OPS/CTO: Ok gear up and get on the pad for transport
CIV_Jacobs says:
::Sits in the shuttle, the rest of his team assembled, and takes off, for parts unknown::
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> *EO*: Aye sir...::cuts the comm and sits back on the stool::
CNS_Bauer says:
$TO: Ummmmmm..... Lack of sleep and I think away teams are a rush...... don't you?
TO_Usimov says:
$::takes out tricorder and starts scanning::
OPS_Cailand says:
::nods and walks toward the 'equipment' sorting through it and..... donning it....::
XO_Shras says:
<Transporter room one operator>: Energize!
TO_Usimov says:
$CNS: I never thought of it quite that way.
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::leans over to Lashbrook:: JOPS: This your first shift on the bridge?
CIV_Jacobs says:
@:: Feels the shuttle move out of the shuttle bay, until the full effects of the inertial dampeners kick in::
CNS_Bauer says:
$:: uses tricorder to locate life signs or reminiscent energy waves::
EO_Chapu says:
:: moves around in ENG, checking all the systems ::
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO/CNS: Have either of you found any life signs yet?
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::smiles and looks at Goldberg:: JFCO: Sorta.... first time.... by myself. ::pauses:: In, Ops... that is..... what about you?
XO_Shras says:
#:: team two dematerialize from the ship and rematerialize on the planet ground a few hundred meters from the ship ::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
JOPS: First shift. Boy is it scary. I mean what if I push something that I'm not supposed to?
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: There is life, but it is inside the planet, not right here at the present time, but I will continue to scan, sir.
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::laughs lightly:: JFCO: Don't worry. I’m sure you'll do fine. ::leans over:: To tell the truth... ::glances around, for effect:: I'm a bit nervous too....
OPS_Cailand says:
#::looks around, her senses soaking up the surroundings....noises, smells....::
CIV_Jacobs says:
@::Instructs the shuttle pilot to land in an uninhabited area::
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: Do you find any buildings. Something like an old library or university where we could get a reference on their culture and education?
CNS_Bauer says:
$SELF: Oooohhh critters are amongst us.
EO_Chapu says:
Johnson: :: starts walking towards the TL :: Johnson, I'll be back in a few.  I'm going to the Bridge.
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: I do see that there is an abundance of plant life and animals however, sir.
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::smiles:: JOPS: Oh really? I'm just happy I'm here and not on one of the away teams. That could be really dangerous and mother told me not to go anywhere dangerous.
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: What's the bearing?
EO_Chapu says:
<JEO> EO:  Aye, sir.  Anything we should be working on in particular?
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::grins:: JFCO: Oh really? And why would she say that?
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: One can learn a lot about a planets history by studying its flora, fauna and lower life forms.
EO_Chapu says:
JEO:  ::leans out of the turbo lift, looking at him :: Yeah, keeping the ship together :: smiles at him ::
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: Sir, they seem to be covering the entire planet, except not right here, we must have scared them away when we came down.
JFCO_Goldberg says:
JOPS: I have no idea, but you know the saying, always listen to your mother, she knows best. ::smiles::
EO_Chapu says:
<JEO> :: smiles back ::
XO_Shras says:
#OPS: Let's move in that direction, sensors detected some ruins
CEO_Stricker says:
$CNS: Please study this plant life for me.
CIV_Jacobs says:
@::IS filled with excitement as the shuttle lands, can't wait to get going, yet inwardly wishes he were back on the ship::
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::tilts his head:: JFCO: Oh, of course..... But, if we don't take a risk now and then, how would we have any fun?
CNS_Bauer says:
$:: Looks for animal traces. But stays with the others.::
EO_Chapu says:
Computer:  :: leans back into the TL ::  Computer, Bridge.
CEO_Stricker says:
$: TO: Hmmmm... If there anyway we can get closer to them? Or is it that this might not be a safe spot?
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: Aye Sir.
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::raises an eyebrow:: JOPS: Fun?
OPS_Cailand says:
#::nods and moves ahead, looking around her.....her mind making observations and she only wishes she'd brought a PADD to record....ah well, she has her mind::
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: There seem to be many more of them over there, sir, right by that group of buildings I can just about make out. ::Points off in the distance::
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Runs diagnostic on specimen looking for impurities, chemical make up and DNA profile::
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::sighs:: JFCO: Yes, fun.... excitement, adventure.... you know..... Starfleet's original purpose was exploration....
CIV_Jacobs says:
@::Gets ready to exit the shuttle with the rest of his team::
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: A group buildings?
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: Yes, sir.  Many of them seem to be in various stages of falling down, but there is one that stands tall.
JFCO_Goldberg says:
JOPS: Well, fun is not something they told us about at the academy, but I guess we can make some right? ::giggles::
EO_Chapu says:
:: The TL gets to the Bridge quickly;  he enters onto the Bridge and walks over to the Engineering Station, turning it on ::
XO_Shras says:
#:: activates his tricorder and set it to scans their path ::
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::tilts his head, grinning, but lowering his voice:: JFCO: What are you proposing?
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Waits for results of diagnostic::
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO/CNS: Take out your phasers and be ready for anything. If we see any humanoid life form we avoid them by all costs. TO: We are moving out towards that building..... You’re on point!
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: AS SOME TEAMS APPROACH THE REMNANTS OF BUILDINGS, THEY FIND OPENS OF STRANGE CONFIGURATIONS....  WIDER IN THE MIDDLE THAN AT THE BOTTOM, AND COME TO A SHARP POINT AT THE TOP
OPS_Cailand says:
#::almost rolls her eyes... she would remember the way back. If he didn't, that was his problem::
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Draws weapon....reluctantly::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::sees the EO on the bridge and smiles:: JOPS: Oh who's that? ::nods in the EO's direction::
CIV_Jacobs says:
@::Steps outside the shuttle, finding the air strange, the smells odd, it was a bit unnerving to him::
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: Aye, sir. ::takes out phaser and sets it on stun::
EO_Chapu says:
:: takes a seat at the station and looks around the Bridge, at both the Junior Officers with they're "Who's that?" look::
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::looks over and clears his throat, whispering:: JFCO: The EO..... ::waves at the EO::EO: Sir..
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO/JOPS:  Howdy guys.  :: Nods at both of them ::  How y'all doing?
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::grins:: EO: Pretty good sir. You?
CEO_Stricker says:
$::Moves out with the TO on point towards the building::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::turns back to her work feeling very embarrassed::
OPS_Cailand says:
#::nears the ruins and quickens her pace, all her senses active::
EO_Chapu says:
JOPS:  I'm doing well.
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::sends a message to the JFCO's console: don't worry....he's a cool guy..::
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Walks slightly ahead of other as it is his duty to protect superior officer::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
:;tries not to look up at the EO::
XO_Shras says:
#OPS: Be careful, ruins are tricky places, I remember one of the first ruins I explore, nearly received a wall on my head....
EO_Chapu says:
:: turns to the JFCO;  walks up to her::
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::nods to the EO::
TO_Usimov says:
$::walks along behind Zach::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::reads the text message and smiles::
CIV_Jacobs says:
@::Begins his long trek to what appears to be "ruins"::
OPS_Cailand says:
#XO: Are you a fan of anthropology commander? ::side steps a vine that would've snapped her up into a tree...had she stepped in it::
OPS_Cailand says:
#XO: Or any culture study for that matter?
CNS_Bauer says:
$:: Uses telepathy to pick up on traces of life::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE TEAMS REALIZE THE ODD THICKNESS OF THE BUILDING WALLS WHERE THE OPENINGS PENETRATE
CEO_Stricker says:
$::Pulls up just outside the building:: TO/CNS: Scan the building for life forms
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO:  Ensign, are you alright?  :: standing behind her, to the left ::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: AND A GENERAL LACK OF WINDOW OPENINGS
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: There seem to be only animals in the buildings sir...maybe this will be a good time to check them out also.
JFCO_Goldberg says:
EO: Yes sir, just fine. ::hoping he doesn't expect her to look up::
OPS_Cailand says:
#::nears the ruins and pauses, looking at the entire site..... Her eyes sparkle with curiosity and excitement, despite her neutral body stance and facial expression...her face is skyward and she visually examines the buildings::
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: Aye, Sir. ::Begins to scan for life.  CEO: Hope we aren't to close....we aren't to be seen.
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::clears his throat:: EO: Uh, sir? Can I show you something over here?
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: Still only animal life?
XO_Shras says:
#OPS: Being the son of an ambassadorial aide and grandson of an ambassador I had a lot of contacts with alien culture, and yes it did interested me
EO_Chapu says:
:: turns and looks at the JOPS officer for a moment, then starts walking to her ::
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: Yes, sir- that is definitely all that is in these buildings.
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Keeps looking in the dirt for signs of tracks::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: SOME OPENINGS HAVE REMNANTS OF DOORS, DOORS THAT SLIDE TOGETHER SCISSORLIKE
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: Ok then proceed with caution Lieutenant. CNS: Keep scanning the building ok. Where going to enter it right now
EO_Chapu says:
JOPS: :: leans on the console, looking at it :: What's up, Ensign?
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: As you wish, Sir.
OPS_Cailand says:
#XO: I didn't know we would have that in common Commander. I too was raised by an Ambassador..... though also by dignitaries ::ducks under a tree branch:: the Vulcan High Council... various SF crews.... everywhere I went, I matured that much more.
CIV_Jacobs says:
@::Walks up to a large structure, seemingly built before whatever catastrophe tore this planet apart.  Tricorder readings show no life forms inside the structure::
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Waits for signal to enter first::
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: Yes, sir...
OPS_Cailand says:
#::slips through a narrow passage and pauses for the XO::
TO_Usimov says:
::holds phaser in one hand and tricorder in the other::
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::blinks:: EO: That's weird... I must have fixed it. The power readings dipped by 0.2%... but not anymore. I must be better than I thought!
XO_Shras says:
#OPS: These aliens either had strange ways to enter room or very unusual physiognomy
CEO_Stricker says:
$::Enters the building with caution::
CNS_Bauer says:
$TO: What do you make of the doors... weird huh?
XO_Shras says:
#:: makes a stop in front of the building, looking at his tricorder ::
EO_Chapu says:
JOPS:  Good…… Can I ask you a personnel question?  :: squats down next to her ::
TO_Usimov says:
$CNS: Yes, they do seem to be weird.  ::Looks around at the doors and what it might tell her about who once lived here.::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: AS THE TEAMS ENTER BUILDINGS, THEY FIND ILLUMINARIES STILL WORKING AS THEY ARE APPROACHED
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Positions himself in front of Stricker.... a bit annoyed he went first::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF POWER SUPPLY
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::catches a glimpse of the EO and smiles slightly::
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::tilts HIS head:: EO: Yes sir.
CIV_Jacobs says:
@::When he enters the building, it lights up on its own::
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO/CNS: Note the interesting architecture. I'm going to write a holo-progam about this building when we get back to the Geneva
XO_Shras says:
#:: walks in carefully ::
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO/CNS: It is awfully dark in here, if there is a library I do hope there are windows or we will never even see the books to read them.
OPS_Cailand says:
#::runs her fingers along the edge of the opening, her eyes following it as she steps through, moving past the XO to look around:: XO: No... They were tall... thin... the doorways were made so they could walk straight through.... I’m sure..
XO_Shras says:
#OPS: These lights are still activated but I cannot detect any power source of any kind! Do you see something I missed?
EO_Chapu says:
JOPS:  :: lowers his voice ::  The FCO, is she OK?  She seems to be pre-occupied.  :: Smiles back at the JFCO ::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: ONE OF THE TEAMS DISCOVERS ODD FURNISHINGS, THINGS THAT WOULD SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF SOME RATHER LARGE CREATURES, BUT NOT ONES RESEMBLING HUMANOIDS
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: Good point Lieutenant because I'd love to bring some back. CNS: Do you have anything on that scan such as rooms or where a light source is?
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: There seems to be no source of a power source so how do these doors work? And what kind of doors are these. Are they doors?....... ::Remembers Stricker doesn't like questions:: CEO: Just trying to keep the thought process active, Sir.  ::Smiles::
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: That sounds interesting, sir.  If you need help let me know.
OPS_Cailand says:
#::listens:: XO: No..... but give me a minute..... ::looks around and listens more::
CIV_Jacobs says:
@::Begins scanning for a power source on the lights::
CNS_Bauer says:
$TO: Just get a rock and turn the phaser on it...it will glow like a beacon in the night.
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::nods:: EO: I'm sure she's fine sir..
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: SOME TEAMS FIND WALL UNITS THAT HAVE UNIDENTIFIABLE DISPLAYS.... CERTAINLY NOTHING UNDERSTANDABLE BY THE CREWS
CEO_Stricker says:
$CNS: Keep scanning for any source of power, anything at all.....
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::notices a green light beginning to flash on her console:: Self: Oh no, a fluctuation in the impulse system. ::thinks for a moment:: I guess I should tell the EO.
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: I'm not reading a power source, as I said.  Why don't we use old fashion torches for light?
CIV_Jacobs says:
@Self: Interesting.
EO_Chapu says:
JOPS:  :: turns back to the JOPS and looks at her ::  I'm just making sure.
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Keeps scanning::
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: Yes, I'd like you to find out, like the CNS, if there is a power location. If there is any sign of culture or remnants of existence I'd love to learn about it too.
TO_Usimov says:
$CNS/CEO: what in the world are they over on those wall units???  ::points toward the units::
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS_Lashbrook> ::looks down at his console:: JFCO: Do you detect a flux in the impulse drives?
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::turns and looks at the EO:: EO: Excuse me sir, could you check this out for me? ::points at the light::
EO_Chapu says:
:: gets up and turns towards the front of the Bridge ::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
JOPS: Just noticed it.
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: Yes, sir.  I also meant I will help you write the holo-program when we get back, sir.
OPS_Cailand says:
<JOPS> ::nods:: JFCO: Ditto.
CIV_Jacobs says:
@TAC: What do you suppose is supplying this place with power?  Any Idea?
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: Sir, if there is a power source and we get it to run... won't that be a bit of a shock to the locals?
CEO_Stricker says:
$::Looks at the wall unit:: TO/CNS: This must be a panel but written in their language. Do either of you have a universal translator on you?
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO:  What's up, Ensign?  :: walks over to the FCO station and takes a look ::
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: I do ...of course.
CIV_Jacobs says:
@<TAC> CIV: I don't have a clue, but whoever used these buildings must have been huge.
JFCO_Goldberg says:
EO: Look sir, see that?
CIV_Jacobs says:
@TAC: Huge? How do you know that?
CEO_Stricker says:
$CNS: Get it out and learn how to open this panel....
XO_Shras says:
#OPS: and if this building is inhabited? I have seen no one near here, have you? I wouldn't want to be caught inside the home of an alien coming back from work....
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: Check out the big hole over there.
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: I'll do what I can at translation.
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: Of course you can and if we find any book we can share a read with them too.
CIV_Jacobs says:
@<TAC> CIV: Well, just look at the huge doorways.
EO_Chapu says:
:: Smiles, looks at her, back at the console and presses three (3) buttons ::
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: I am sure there are books in here, I will find them, I can assure you of that...As long as Zach has his translator we will be able to read them.
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO: This must be your first time at an actual Flight Control Station?!?!?!?!
CIV_Jacobs says:
@TAC: But we have some big doors, so what... ::Continues looking at the lights, fascinated by them::
TO_Usimov says:
$CNS: Have you found a way to open that panel yet?
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::looks surprised:: EO: Yes sir, my first shift on the bridge sir.
EO_Chapu says:
:: squats down ::
CNS_Bauer says:
$TO: Nope not yet..... Have you checked out that hole?
CIV_Jacobs says:
@<TAC> CIV: Yeah, sure, but look at that chair.  ::Points in the direction of a piece of furniture that looks nothing like a chair::
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: Agreed! CNS: Get that panel open right now!
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: Yes, SIR!
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::can't help but notice the EO's hair and the scent of his shampoo::
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO:  What you just saw there was that the Warp Core nacelles had to be vented.
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Thinks he is good at orders but suggestions......::
CIV_Jacobs says:
@TAC: Chair?  Now I know your losin' it.  I've never seen a chair like that.
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THERE IS A LEVER ALONG THE SIDE OF THE VERTICAL SHAFT AND THE CREW BEGINS TO TINKER WITH IT
CIV_Jacobs says:
@<TAC> CIV: Yeah, maybe so, but I think your thinking too "humanoid"... take a closer look.
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Uses translator on door and waits for computer to decipher it::
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO:  I'm Lt. Chapu', Engineering Officer.  :: holds out his hand ::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::comes back to reality:: EO: Umm, ah, yes sir, of course Lt. I should have picked that up shouldn't I? ::now really feels embarrassed::
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO/CNS; Stand back and wait for the door to open fully!
CIV_Jacobs says:
@TAC: I don't... ::Gets a strange look of realization on his face:: Yeah, I see what you mean now.
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE MECHANISM SEEMS TO BE MULTI-LEVEL OPERATIONAL, BUT ALWAYS IN COMBINATIONS OF THREE
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::holds out her hand:: EO: Ensign Susan Goldberg sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Computer delivers information:: CEO: It's like a puzzle.... give me just a second.
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO/CNS: There seems to be that life form that we are staying away from at the other end of that hole...
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: Where is this hole and how big is it?
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Fiddles with sliding sections and twists certain carvings and the door opens in its scissor like fashion.::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::glances past Chapu and nods at Lashbrook::
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: Yes, sir...
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO: Goldberg?  Interesting!  I remember a Goldberg when I was back on Earth.
CIV_Jacobs says:
@<TAC> ::Smiles a little "I told you so" smile, that seems to irritate the CIV::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
EO: Very interesting sir.
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: It is right on the other side of this panel.  It seems to be VERY large sir; sort of looks like it could have once been an elevator shaft or something of that nature.
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO: Anyways, how long have you been on the ship?
CEO_Stricker says:
$CNS: Have you broken translation yet?
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO: Maybe it is a lift shaft?
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: The door is open Sir.
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE DOOR "COMBINATION" IS FIGURED OUT AND THE DOOR SUDDENLY OPENS REVEALING WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SIMPLE ELEVATOR... BUT ONE THAT WOULD HOLD A VERY SHORT AND SQUAT CREATURE
JFCO_Goldberg says:
EO: Just four months sir, mostly on Gamma shift sir.
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE "ELEVATOR" APPEARS TO BE OPERATION, BUT AGAIN, NO APPARENT POWER SUPPLY
CIV_Jacobs says:
@::Looks over at the smiling TAC officer:: TAC: You don't have to rub it in....
CNS_Bauer says:
$TO: So what's the deal with the hole?
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: Sir, I think we will have to sit to check this out, since it is only for short people.
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO/CNS: Look like a shaft from a lift. Scan this please....
CIV_Jacobs says:
@<TAC> CIV: No sir, wouldn't think of it.  ::Continues with his little "smile”::
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: I can fit in there.... if it's of any interest.
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO: Aahhhh, the Gamma Shift.  I remember being on the Gamma Shift.  Well, how have you been enjoying sitting here at Flight Control during another shift?
CEO_Stricker says:
$TO/CNS; I'm not skeptical of most things but I am of this. However, because of our mission, we are going to use this elevator......
JFCO_Goldberg says:
EO: Interesting sir, but...... ::pauses and leans over:: scary.
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: Shall I lead Sir?
CEO_Stricker says:
$CNS: Yes thank you.... TO: After the CNS!
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO: Yes, sir.

$CNS: Zach, please be VERY careful...
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Enters the so-called primitive turbo lift apparatus.::
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO: Hey, you don't have to tell me twice, Ensign.  When I first started in Engineering, I thought I was going to screw up something, especially with Life Support.
CNS_Bauer says:
$TO: Always.
CEO_Stricker says:
$::Walk into the really small lift with the CNS and TO. Is very uncomfortable because of its size::
TO_Usimov says:
$::steps inside the elevator behind Zach::
CIV_Jacobs says:
@::Continues exploring the rest of the building::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::relaxes a little:: EO: Really Lt? I guess I'll get used to it, someday.
TO_Usimov says:
$CEO/CNS: This was not made for 3 people of our size, that is for sure.
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Sees pulleys:: CEO: Would you like me to lower us down using these ropes, Sir?
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: BY WORKING THE SHAFT CONTROLS, IT APPEARS THAT THE INHABITANTS DID NOT HAVE "HANDS" BUT PERHAPS TENTACLES
CEO_Stricker says:
$CNS: Yes I would, thank you.....
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO: Trust me, Ensign.  You will get used to it after another 20 hours or so of time here at the Flight Control station
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THERE IS NOTHING TO INDICATE THAT THE INHABITANTS HAD FEET, OF ANY KIND OR NUMBER
TO_Usimov says:
::wonders what Wolfgar is doing right now - sure has to beat this ride::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::her eyes widen:: EO: Twenty hours sir?
EO_Chapu says:
<JEO> *EO*: Engineering to Lt. Chapu'.  Can you check your station up there, sir?  I can't tell what we are looking at.
CNS_Bauer says:
$::Grabs controls the best he can.  It is awkward. But lift is suddenly moving us down as I maneuver the controls::
EO_Chapu says:
*JEO*:  OK
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::smiles:: EO: Gotta go sir?
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE ELEVATOR SUDDENLY SEALS AND PLUMMETS AT FANOMINAL SPEED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, TO DEPTHS OF MANY KILOMETERS
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO: Overall, Ensign.  Don't worry about it.  You'll do fine.  I have faith in you
CNS_Bauer says:
$SELF: This is creepy.  Like giant mutant bug/mollusk type creatures::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
EO: Thank you Mr. Chapu.
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: STOPPING AT WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE FIRST LEVEL OF CONNECTION TUBES TO AN ADJACENT PLANETARY SEGMENT
TO_Usimov says:
$::grabs on to whatever she can, it happens to be Zach::
EO_Chapu says:
JFCO: No problem, Ensign.  I'll come back in a few, so don't go away.
EO_Chapu says:
:: walks over to the Engineering Station ::
JFCO_Goldberg says:
::smiles again:: Self: Hey he's not so bad.
CNS_Bauer says:
$CEO: I'm not going fast on purpose, Sir. Just wanted you to know that. ::Hangs onto controls::
