CO_West :
Stardate: 10208.10  Captains Log   After a thirty minute exploration of an Asteroid that appears to be completely composed of Iron, I am anxious to find out if the CSO has found anything interesting here.  The rest of the crew has been helping the CEO to come up with answers as to why the transmitter seems to be working properly but is apparently not...

<<<<<<<<<<Forbidden Depths>>>>>>>>>>

CO_West says:
::Takes her seat inside the shuttle as the rest of the crew reenter and listen to her orders::
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Working at her console::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::sitting at the shuttle's helm, checking the different propulsion systems.::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Rubbing his face and heading up to Joey::
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Continues her scans on the asteroid field::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::wandering around at the back of the shuttle being nosy::
Host CO_West says:
FCO: I'm glad you could finish your physical exam and join us down here, I don't want to take any chances we don't have the best at the helm.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Taps the back of her seat:: CSO: Hi.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::takes the compliment with a smile.::  CO:  Thanks, captain.  May I ask, though, why I needed to get a physical when I got one before leaving the academy?
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Continues looking at her screen:: CEO: hello, what can i do for you ::Turns to face him::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::sees some odd looking buttons at the back of shuttle, wondering what they do he presses them::
Host CO_West says:
FCO: It is required of our own doctors to get their own medical data for our records, nothing major though.
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Standard Procedure.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CSO: Oh... looking that you are busy I guess I'll catch you in a bit.
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
XO: sir, what are you doing back there anyways?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Goes back to his seat::
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
Self: no you won't Sid...
Host CO_West says:
::Looking over as CEO takes his seat::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CSO: Ohh...just looking  ::moves over to the Cmdr::  So Joey, how goes the scans?  ::sits next to her::
Host CO_West says:
ALL: Let's take our stations, now.  CEO: report on the transmitter what have you come up with?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::grumbles as checks are done on his kit, over and over again::
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
XO: I still haven’t found anything unusual about this field yet, but the CO thinks that there is...i'll keep scanning, but not much else i can do.  this is a pretty sable location, fine for this relay system,
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Nothing new, in excellent condition.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::gets the shuttle ready for takeoff.::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: We have the appropriate parts here to fix it at the moment.
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Looks over at Sid, frown, then back to the XO::
Host CO_West says:
Well, if there is not anything that needs to be done here... CSO are you satisfied with your explorations?
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
CO: I'm done here, i don't know what else to scan for,
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Glances at Joey, then gets up and heads towards her::
Host CO_West says:
XO: Then we can get underway.  Let's get to the Bra'ken home world.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CSO: Joey, we gotta talk.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Aye ma'am  ::turns to the FCO:: FCO: Set a course for the Bra'ken home world
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Rubs her eyes as she thinks of anything else she could do, then Sid opened his mouth, and interrupts her thinking:: CEO: we are in a small shuttle, no
Host CO_West says:
::Try’s not to listen to the conversation between husband and wife, but... they are in a small enough shuttle.::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
XO:  Aye, course set, initiating liftoff.  ::engages thrusters and takes the shuttle off the asteroid.::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Whispers:: CSO: Yes, now.  Sleeping on the couch, in your office all the time, never home when I am.  What's up?
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The shuttle takes of smoothly with a bit more umph then the FCO is used to.
Host CO_West says:
XO: Something  still does not seem right, about not getting the transmissions through, so perhaps the problem in on the end of the planet, what do you think?
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
CEO: this isn't the time or the place Sid, i happen to like sleeping on the couch ...::Wasn't a lie, it felt better on her back::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::grins as he engages impulse engines.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: I agree ma'am. It's worth a look
Host CO_West says:
::leans back in her chair and puts her arm casually on the back, trying to enjoy the ride, but is jolted a bit by the take off::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CSO: Fine. ::Grudges back to his seat::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::raises speed to 1/2 impulse.  Moves the ship around a larger asteroid.::  CO:  ETA is 15 minutes.
Host CO_West says:
::Nods to XO to look the way of CEO::
Host CO_West says:
FC: Thank you Ens, ah, a bit less jumpy perhaps!
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Looks at her scans, looking for anything she may have missed::
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  With the increase speed, more of the smaller asteroids hit the shuttles shield.  Shield power drops nominally... so far.
Host CO_West says:
XO: Try to contact the planet and let them know of our arrival, before we landed on the asteroid we could not communicate with them, so give it a try again.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  Aye, less jumpy...
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Feels a bit woozy, but fine when the shuttle smoothed out::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Yes Captain...  COMM: Bra'ken: Bra'ken home world, this is a shuttle from the USS Nighthawk, requesting docking clearance
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Grumbles:: Self: She likes it on the couch, why did I get a bed then?
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Hears Sid grumbling in the back and shakes her head::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::looks on the monitor:: CO: No response ma'am
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  A large group of asteroids careens into the pathway of the shuttle.
Host CO_West says:
::Listening as the various voices are grumbled and mumbled about the shuttle::
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::tries to find out if there is a reason why there field was so dense::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::slows down abruptly, maneuvers the shuttle around the asteroids.::
Host CO_West says:
XO: Keep trying, Like I said before I would like for them to know we are approaching, but if it is not possible we will have to land any way.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Grumbles as he slams his kit again::
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The planet Bra'ken comes up onto the screen.
Host CO_West says:
CEO: There is definitely a problem here, you can take a look at the transmitters on the planet once we land.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: This supports the theory of something wrong with the transmitter on the surface...I'll try again ma'am but I got a strong feeling that it won't go through
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Still thinking that it was once a planet, brings up old charts and compares them to what she scans::
Host CO_West says:
::Nods::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
COMM: Bra'ken: Bra'ken home world, this is a shuttle from the USS Nighthawk, requesting docking clearance
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Yes, sir!
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Scratches her head as the charts don't help::
Host CO_West says:
::Stands and walks over to the Science station::  CSO: tell me about your theory of this debris once being a planet, can you tell how long ago it was destroyed?
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::looks a second at the planet.  Raises the speed to 3/8 impulse.::
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Absolute silence comes over the comm.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::just as he expected nothing comes back:: CEO: Chief do we have any anti-gravity belts aboard?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: For?
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Around the planet, the area is clear of any asteroid debris.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CEO: Well if I recall correctly this planet has a gravity of 2.3 it would be very difficult for someone to move around in if you haven't been training for it
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::As they exit the field, raises the speed to full impulse.::  CO:  2 more minutes and we're there.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: Should be in the back along with the EVA suits.
Host CO_West says:
XO: Can you get reading of the government installation?  we really should contact the bra"ken Officials first as we land.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CEO: Good...that's all I needed to know  FCO: Ensign, find the capital city and land just outside of it.  Give them a sign that we are here
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::walks up to Joey:: CSO: Can I bother you for some scans of the tower.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
XO:  Aye.  ::looks for a suitable landing spot.::
Host CO_West says:
CEO: Can you boost the power in those gravity belts a bit?
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Sit back and scans the planet, but starts to feel woozy again:: XO sir, could i bother you for a moment?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Doesn't look like it Captain...we'll have to wait until we land
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Boost power?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CSO: Of course Cmdr...::turns to the CSO:: What can I help you with?
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
XO: I’m not feeling to well, could you take over here for me, and if i could go lay down for a bit
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Looks at Joey:: CSO: Honey?
Host CO_West says:
CEO: yes, Before we left the’ Hawk' the MO indicated that we could not use them for an extended time because we would be exposed to too dense gravity fields on some parts of our head and feet in the Bra’ken planet so we can not stay down long with them....
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Just glares at Sid:: CEO: don’t worry ok
Host CO_West says:
CEO: can you do anything with them to help?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CSO: Go lie down...I'll do what I can
CSO_LtCmdr_Matisse says:
::Moves to the back of the shuttle:: XO: thank you sir
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::waits for the FCO to land the shuttle::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::lands the shuttle in a plain just outside the capital city.::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: We can extend an energy field around the shuttle to act like an energy source for the packs.
Host CO_West says:
:;Notices the landing went smoother than she thought it would.  Didn’t even feel it::
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The shuttle smoothly lands outside of a nominal two-story building, the largest and only two-story in the area.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::turns the thrusters off.::  CO:  Landing complete.
Host CO_West says:
CEO: For how long will it hold?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::looks at the readings...only 1 two-story building and no human life signs::  Self: Not much for a capital city
Host CO_West says:
::Nods toward FCO::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Hours, depends on how large the field is and how many packs are in the field.
Host CO_West says:
XO: Still no answer to our hails, eh? Well let's suit up people!
Host CO_West says:
::Chuckling a bit::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Goes to the back and checks out the suits::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::stands from his seat, waits to be handed his gravity belt.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::grabs himself a gravity belt and puts it on, wonders if he would actually need it::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CEO: Chief, see if you can find where they keep their transmitter?  And check it out for any damage
Host CO_West says:
::Grabs a Gravity belt from the locker and puts it on, remembering the last mountain she climbed on Vulcan::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Wonders how Joey's doing:: XO: Huh? Oh Check the transmitter yes, sir.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::follows them to the lockers, grabs a gravity belt and puts it on.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CEO: Take the FCO with you...incase you need help.  The Captain and I will see if we can find anybody else
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
All: Everybody take a phaser
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: Aye ::Grabs a belt and the transmitter::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::Also takes a phaser and a tricorder, puts them on his belt, excitement coursing through his veins.::
Host CO_West says:
::Reaches over to the security locker and grabs her Phaser checks the setting to stun and holsters it::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::activates his gravity belt and steps outside of the shuttle::
Host Karriaunna says:
Details:  The crew see a small, relatively neat community of buildings.  Everything is silent of the normal trappings of a humanoid community.  There are the sights, sounds and smells of regular life.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::Activates his belt and follows the XO out.::
Host CO_West says:
::activates the gravity belt and begins to exit the shuttle::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Clips on a phaser and a tricorder to his belt::
Host CO_West says:
::Looking around::  XO: Everything ...seems normal!
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Thought of Joey run though his mind:: FCO: Let's find that transmitter fix it and head home
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::places his hand over his eyes and looks around:: CO: Yes it does...so why isn't it?
