CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Sitting in her chair on the Bridge waiting for a report from the Away Team::

FCO_Mades says:
@ ::looks around:: SO: What happened?  Where she go?

SO_Knight says:
@::Looks around for the CSO after the scream:: Self: Croikey! Where the devil she go?

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: I dunno.  Sheilas...

FCO_Mades says:
@ ::taps his commbadge:: *CO*: We've lost the CSO... she just vanished.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Is getting harassed. Is running out of recourses::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Her eyes widen:: *FCO*: How did she just vanish, Lieutenant? ::She looks towards AOPS:: AOPS: Ensign, locate Lieutenant So'tosh.

SO_Knight says:
@::Continues scanning with Tricorder and intensifies the senor beam::

FCO_Mades says:
@ ::heads over to where the CSO was last standing::

FCO_Mades says:
@ *CO*: No sure yet, ma'am.  We're checking.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> ::Smiles towards Verradi:: OPS: So, how about lunch?

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker> ::Attempts to locate the Lieutenant:: CO: Yes ma'am.

SO_Knight says:
@Self: C'mout c'mout whereeva ya are.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*FCO*: Until she is found you will assume command of the Away Team. ::She sighs as she looks towards the Ensign::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Remembers suddenly that she wanted to feed him:: CNS: How about not?

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker> ::Shakes his head:: CO: I have no idea... I can't find her anywhere.

FCO_Mades says:
@ *CO*: Ay.... YYYYYYE  ::almost falls down some hole, barely catches himself and falls backwards hard on his rear::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: Lieutenant, this will be good for you. Just try and have some type of communication with a person. ::Smiles::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods towards the Ensign as she hears the FCO on her Combadge:: *FCO*: Are you ok, Lieutenant? ::Her hands now on the sidearms of her chair::

FCO_Mades says:
@ SO: I think I found something...   ouch.

Host Rich says:
Action: A short in the power grid suddenly takes out the Transporters.

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: No kiddin', mate. What didja find?

FCO_Mades says:
@ *CO*: Just a bit bruised, ma'am.  Found a little secret... like a pitfall or a big hole or something.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*FCO*: Is there any sign of Lieutenant So'tosh around that area?

FCO_Mades says:
@ *CO*: We'll check, I'll let you know.  ::slowly stands, rubbing his aching rear::

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: Klutz. ::looks down the hole and points the Tricorder in its direction::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She crosses her leg::

OPS_Verradi says:
CNS: I think we're communicating just fine right now. I think the problem lies on the receiving end with you. I want you to leave.

FCO_Mades says:
@ ::looks down the deep chasm in front of him:: SO: I fly, not walk.    Getting anything?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: Why Verradi?

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker>::Realizes, about three minutes after it happens, that the transporter has suddenly short circuited:: CO: Captain?

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: Neiztche says "one must learn to walk before they can fly. One cannot fly to fly. ::Taps a few commands into the Tricorder::

OPS_Verradi says:
CNS: Because you are -creepy-!

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
AOPS: Yes, Ensign? ::She looks back down towards him::

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker>CO: Promise not to get mad... again?

FCO_Mades says:
@SO: That looks way to steep to climb down... might be fun covered in snow though.

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: I'm gettin' a life sign. A thousand meters down.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
AOPS: What is it, Ensign? ::She says in an annoyed voice::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: And why am I creepy?

FCO_Mades says:
@ *CO*: Captain, we are reading a life sign at the bottom of the hole, but it is pretty deep.

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker> CO: Promise?

FCO_Mades says:
@ SO: Think we can use the shuttle’s emergency transporter to bring her up?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*FCO*: If you can attempt to locate Lieutenant So'tosh, even if she is in the hole. AOPS: What is it, Ensign...NOW.

SO_Knight says:
@*CO*: It might be Lt. So'tosh. I can't seem to get any specifics on the readin's yet, Cap'n.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Sighs and walks to the other end of the room, making it abundantly clear with various non-verbal expressions that he does not want her to follow:: CNS: You came here. With a picnic basket. After I was incapacitated for days. Somehow you must have been watching me without my knowing, and that never happens.

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: It's worth a go. I'm not sure if being so close to the energy readin's gonna affect it, though.

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker> ::Starts to quiver like a little leaf:: CO: Th-the transporter short-circuited, ma'am.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: We have not been, Verradi. I come and check on you every few hours.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*SO*: Understood, Lieutenant. See if you can find out.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
AOPS: Get it working, soon Ensign. ::Her eyes widen::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Nods, clearly unconvinced:: CNS: Of course. And why is it that I've never seen you around here? Ever?

FCO_Mades says:
@::nods:: SO: Possible.  At least we might be able to replicate some climbing gear if nothing else.

SO_Knight says:
@::Continues scanning the hole:: FCO/*CO*: It's her. I've got a Vulcan/human life readin'.

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker> ::Meekly:: CO: Yes ma'am... ::Tries to work on it as best he can::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: You have been incapacitated for nearly two days, Lieutenant.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*SO*: Our transporters seem to be down, Lieutenant. You will need to retrieve her yourselves.

FCO_Mades says:
@ SO: I'll get the shuttle and bring it closer... you stay here and keep an eye on her.  I shouldn't be long.

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: We should try the climbing gear after we attempt to beam 'er out. Be careful, this strange energy emission could scramble 'er pattern.

OPS_Verradi says:
CNS: And you have just avoided my question, ...::Realizes that he doesn't know her rank and takes a quick peek::  Lieutenant. ::Realizes that didn't sound particularly effective::

FCO_Mades says:
@::nods::  SO: We can try a test transport first.  ::starts to jog off in the direction of the shuttle and then picks the pace up to a sprint;:

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: I came aboard during the Hayden's last stop at ES 217.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards the Ensign at OPS:: AOPS: How is it going, Ensign?

SO_Knight says:
@*CO*: There's a vein of Ryordite jackin' me Tricorder scans.

OPS_Verradi says:
CNS: Oh, my that is very convenient. Where did you come from, Ms. Love?

FCO_Mades says:
@::tries to keep an eye on the ground in front of him, not wanting to find another hole on accident::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*SO*: Can you bypass it in some way?

Host Rich says:
Action: The FCO sprint loosens a rock causing him to loose his balance and tumble down the hill spraining his ankle.

FCO_Mades says:
@ ::tumbles head first and lands in a heap on the ground, letting out a very loud curse::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: My last assignment was aboard the USS Starburst, Lieutenant. I served aboard her for nearly seven years.

SO_Knight says:
@*CO* It seems to lie around the area. I can't do much with it.

FCO_Mades says:
@ ::after catching his breath, Christian attempts to stand.. as he puts weight on his left foot he lets loose another curse, this one even louder than before::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*SO*: Do what you can, Lieutenant. Our scans cannot do nearly as well as yours. The shuttle's could possibly work a bit better.

SO_Knight says:
@Self: What now? *CO* Hold on, Cap'n. I think me cohort's just landed in a Joyberry patch.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Forces himself to laugh a loud laugh. As though Love weren't such a stupid name, her ship was the Starburst. Of course, he stops laughing before he responds:: CNS: I see. The Starburst. And you know no Commander Forrests?

FCO_Mades says:
@::tentatively tries the ankle out again:: Self: Dangit... I told him I fly, not walk... and obviously not run.  What was I thinking.

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker> ::Shakes his head:: CO: Promise you won't get mad?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: It seems that you have some undisclosed rage inside of you, Lieutenant. I believe towards one who you work semi-closely with?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She glares at the Ensign:: AOPS: What is it, Ensign?

OPS_Verradi says:
CNS: Very perceptive, Ms. Love. Very perceptive indeed. But again you are dodging my questions.

SO_Knight says:
@::Sees the FCO on the ground:: FCO: Lemme guess. Can't run either?

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker> ::Cowers in his seat and becomes the epitome of meekness:: CO: It will take a few hours to fix...

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: Because it seems that you are avoiding your own problems Verradi. ::She walks over to a couch and takes a seat. She starts to unpack the picnic basket::

FCO_Mades says:
@::glares at the Aussie::  SO: This place is just full of traps... looks like we need the medkit from the shuttle.  I think I sprained it.  ::indicates his left ankle::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
AOPS: I expect it done in one hour, Ensign. Get a team on it immediately.

SO_Knight says:
@::Kneels and scans the afflicted ankle::

OPS_Verradi says:
CNS: Oh no! No no! ::Walks back over to where she is--sitting on his COUCH:: You put that away right now! I don't want any of your food!

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker> ::Whimpers almost inaudibly and feebly assigns a team::

FCO_Mades says:
@SO: You know, I ran track at the Academy... this is kind of embarrassing.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: Well I can't possibly eat all of this by myself. ::She continues to take out the food::

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: Affirmative. Ya sprained it. No worries. I can walk

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her foot as she waits for any progress with the Away Team::

FCO_Mades says:
@::sees a big branch on the ground no far away:: SO: Hey, grab that for me  ::points:: Instant crutch.. then we can both go.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Walks over to the couch, not stopping, picks up two random items from it and tosses them towards the door:: CNS: OUT!

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: I guess you have worries then, mate. I'll go back to the shuttle an' bring 'er closer. ::Hands him the branch::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: I would leave... but we have another thirty minutes together. The Computer will not let me out until then. ::She takes out the tuna, sushi, and chicken::

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: If you can make it, mate.

FCO_Mades says:
@::using the crutch he is able to hobble along with the SO:: SO: I'm not sure that your flight credentials are up to date.  ::smirks as he anticipates the man's next question::  Yes, I've seen your file.

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: Were you any good at track?

OPS_Verradi says:
::Makes a hissing sound in the back of his throat and stamps over to the other end of the room once more:: CNS: Just ADMIT that that <expletive> sent you here! Just admit it!

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: To who are you referring, Lieutenant? ::She takes out some potato salad, beans, and chips::

FCO_Mades says:
@SO: I won my share of races, if that means anything.  I had fun though, that was the main goal for me.

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: I bet my flyin's better than your runnin'.

FCO_Mades says:
@SO: We'll have to see about that sometime, Mr. Knight.  ::grimaces a bit as he puts a little too much weight on his ankle::

OPS_Verradi says:
CNS: Don't lie  to me, Counselor! I know who sent you! ::Had, of course, turned around and pointed his index finger at her:: And I know you know!

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: I am not sure what you are talking about Verradi. I only know what is in here. ::She taps her head a bit::

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: C'mon. ::Gets over to the other side of Mades to help him along:: So'tosh ain't got all millennium.

FCO_Mades says:
@SO: She's Vulcan.. they live a long time.  How were her vitals, could you read them?

OPS_Verradi says:
::Eyes seem to glint a bit and he walks with a purpose towards her, clearly about to run her over. When he reaches her, he abruptly stops and attempts to take her by the shirt collar::

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: She's half Vulcan, she won't live quite as long, howeva, she was stable and strong. She's still not gonna survive down 'ere long alone.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> ::She moves her head a bit:: OPS: I know, Lieutenant, that you would not wish to loose your status as a Starfleet Officer?

Host Rich says:
Action: The FCO and SO finely make it to the shuttle.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Speaks slowly with a sort of hissing in his speech:: CNS: Admit that that worm sent you or walk out of here.

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: Let's get this closer to the hole. Our proximity might increase our chances of transporting 'er outta 'ere.

FCO_Mades says:
@SO: Well then let's get back.  We can tend to me after we try the transporter.  ::climbs into the shuttle and takes his seat, starting preflight::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: I am unsure who you are talking about. However, if you try and touch me again I assure you that you will not serve aboard a starship again. ::She glares at him a bit:: OPS: Now, time for lunch. ::She smiles::

SO_Knight says:
@::Takes a seat beside the FCO:: I've uploaded the coordinates for you. I'll ready the transporter.

FCO_Mades says:
@::nods:: SO: Here we go.  ::lifts off and moves slowly towards where they lost the CSO::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Is feeling quite desperate now--should he hit her or urinate on the food or what? Ah! Idea! He pushes the CNS away and walks to his computer terminal and attempts to get into the basic code::

FCO_Mades says:
@*CO*: Captain, we are moving the shuttle closer to where the CSO is to attempt using the emergency transporter.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: You have been restricted all computer access Verradi. ::She smiles even more::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*FCO*: Understood, Lieutenant. Keep me informed of your progress.

SO_Knight says:
@;:Has the transporter set to lock onto the life sign in the hole.::

FCO_Mades says:
@::only take a moment to get the shuttle back, he lands it as close as he dare to the hole::  SO: Want to try a test object first?

OPS_Verradi says:
::Gets quite sick of this:: CNS: All right, that's enough. If you're going to torment me by staying, you may eat alone. I am going to take a shower.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Promptly gets up and walks into his bathroom::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> ::She stays seated and begins to eat the food in front of her:: OPS: This food is rather good.

SO_Knight says:
@Self: Damn ryordite. After discovering it on Genma 8, it always wants o mess with signals.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Decides to turn on the water for his water shower so that he can't hear her as well and then sits on the toilet:: Self: She's definitely one of Forrest's. You can tell. You can tell by the way she moves.

FCO_Mades says:
@::turns towards his shipmate:: SO: Problem?

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: That might be a good idea. I can't lock onto the Lieutenant's life sign.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> ::She taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Love to Patterson. Sir, it seems that I am not getting anywhere with Lieutenant Verradi either. For now I believe he needs to remain here, off duty.

FCO_Mades says:
@SO: Give it a try... I'm going to see what I can do about this ankle.  Holler if you need anything.  ::hobbles towards the rear of the shuttle::

SO_Knight says:
@::Tries to lock onto the life sign or her commbadge again::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge as she listens to the report:: *CNS*: Understood, Counselor. Continue to work with him. There is something bothering him, I am sure you can discover what it is.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Involuntarily snaps his fingers and blinks his left eye:: Self: You're not losing your mind or anything, boy. No, no. You're fine. ::Snaps his fingers again:: Peachy keen.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> *CO*: I will do my best, Captain. ::She closes the comm and continues to eat some of the food:: Outloud: This tuna is great.

SO_Knight says:
@::Grabs an extra Tricorder from the shuttle equipment bay and sets it onto the floor below the Emergency Transporter::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Heaves his body in a strange sort of silent laugh at something that is apparently very funny:: Self: Oh you're fine. You're grand. Don't let them get you. You're smarter than them, my friend. You're smarter than they are.

FCO_Mades says:
@::gets the medical kit and finds one of those regenerator doohickeys and starts to treat his ankle::

SO_Knight says:
@::Tries to beam the Tricorder outside of the shuttle in front of the window::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> Computer: Computer, turn off Lieutenant Verradi's shower. Authorization Love Tri-Beta 2.

SO_Knight says:
@Self: OK. I can do that. Let's try in and back out of the hole...

OPS_Verradi says:
Self: They want to make you confess! ::Suddenly tenses up into a sort of ball, which he promptly escapes from two seconds later as though nothing happened:: They want you to-- ::Realizes that the shower has suddenly gone off:: CNS: Where's my water?

OPS_Verradi says:
<gone off and shouts through the door::>

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: What do you mean where is your water, Lieutenant?

FCO_Mades says:
@::feels that familiar tingle:: Self: The tingle lets you know its working..  ::chuckles to himself::

SO_Knight says:
@Self: Blast! I lost the lock after I beamed it in the hole.

OPS_Verradi says:
CNS: You know what I mean! Give me back my water! This is a conspiracy! You and Forrest are obviously conspiring to take me down!

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Sighs and taps her Combadge:: *FCO/SO*: Lieutenants, what is your progress?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<CNS Love> OPS: Again, who is Commander Forrest?

SO_Knight says:
@*CO* I tried to beam a test object into, then back out of the hole. I loose the lock after it gets in the hole.

OPS_Verradi says:
CNS: Oh, don't pretend you don't <expletive> know!

FCO_Mades says:
@::turns off the tool and tries standing on his ankle.  it's still sore, but manageable until he can get back to the ship.  Packs things away and walks over to the SO::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*SO*: That is not a good sign, Lieutenant.

FCO_Mades says:
@ SO: What if we hover over the hole, so that the confinement beam can line up with the entrance?  ::slides behind the console::

SO_Knight says:
@*CO*: No worries, Cap'n. We're just gonna hafta go down an' get the sheila.

FCO_Mades says:
@::checks how he would have to position the shuttle::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*SO*: Be careful, Lieutenant. I want updates every ten minutes. ::She looks towards AOPS::

SO_Knight says:
@FCO: We can try, but I think the high concentration of ryordite in that hole's doin' it.

OPS_Verradi says:
<Hockenbocker> ::Doesn't notice that he's being looked at::

FCO_Mades says:
@::takes the shuttle up and sets it in an odd angle to the horizon so that the path of the ACB matches the pitch of the hole and hovers there::

Host Rich says:
Action: Once the shuttle is lined up with the hole the transporter is able to get a weak lock on the CSO and she is beamed aboard the shuttle.

Host Rich says:
