Summary
	On Freedom, the away team, using very primitive scuba gear, entered the ocean to see what they could discover around the island as they had found nothing on it.  They found nothing underwater either, but that did not mean too much.
	OPS was beamed aboard the Nighthawk to speak with the captain, while the XO and CIV were beamed to Siren which has made its way into Freedom’s ocean, hopefully unobserved.  All appears to be well on the Siren.
	For various reasons, Admiral Harlan has reassigned Trigger to medical.  Doctor Trigger… hmmm…
	The crew has been informed that an operative was sent earlier to the planet.  Harlan had sent the Nighthawk to search for the insect on his advice.  However, during their last communiqué, the admiral lost contact with the twins.  Meanwhile the twins are finding themselves in a very unenviable situation, especially for Miradorns.	 

Announcements

•	Welcome aboard to Patrick and his twin characters.
•	Please don’t forget to CC ScottK to your emails.
 Scott K:  viper116@gmail.com, Rob L:  rhm.lemmens@home.nl
•	Tim has sent out the list of missing logs.  Please catch up where you can.
•	Don’t forget, the MO has general information on the planet Freedom.

Time Lapse:
	Twenty minutes.  This next mission will be ‘bonding’ time.

Captain' Log: Stardate 10510.29: I am about to send Lt. Knight to the surface with his away team to infiltrate the underwater facilities.

<<<<<<<<<< The Unclothed Truth IV:  Creepy little... >>>>>>>>>>

CO Capt Monroe says:
*FCO*: Status?
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Finding it strange to be putting on simple diving gear sans any wet suit, not to mention swim suit and very much hopes the water is warm.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*CO*:  Trigger and I should be finished up in about 30 minutes.  That would work out perfectly, since it will be night time on the planet.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Working with Aaron in the shuttle bay:: FCO: And if we just secure this here.... ::finishes welding the housing for the final shield emitter:: and we're done.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@::adjusts the air exits on her mouth and remembers how much she hated diving::
Ens Ar-kol says:
%:: Looks around... again... still not liking what he sees. He looks at Ra-Kol. He doesn't have to ask what he thinks of the situation... he knows::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: At the planet surface, putting on the breathing gear for their dive, longing to try the water to see whether it will be comfortable or not::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Takes the thing off her mouth (seeing as it is working and looks at Jackson for the order::

ACTION:  A personal communiqué comes in for Trigger.

CIV Storm says:
@ :: Looks over at Gomes::  OPS: You alright?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  Almost done here as well.  :: Continues inputting some commands into the flight console::
CO Capt Monroe says:
*FCO*: Keep me informed.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@::nods:: CIV: Yeah yeah, why shouldn't I be ::forces a smile::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.
Ens Ra-kol says:
%:: Senses Ar-Kol looking... They've been in worse situations... Though he has to think real hard to remember one::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Enters the submersible a little out of breath, having run from his quarters:: FCO: Got room for one more?

ACTION:  OPS relays the message to Trigger down in the shuttle bay as it is signed by Admiral Harlan.

aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Moves into the vehicle and programs the command links to the new shield and weapon systems::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Sits patiently::
CIV Storm says:
@ OPS:  You want the truth or have me prevaricate?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Looks up and smiles::  CNS:  For you, I'm sure I can make room.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Looks around and sees the rest is ready too, then nods slowly:: All: Yeah, let's get going.. :: Turns to the water::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Receives the message and frowns:: FCO: I'll be back in a minute Aaron, I've got to take care of this.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Grins:: FCO: Good, I'd hate to throw you out so I can go.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Frowns:: CIV: The truth?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Looks up at Jackson:: XO: We just follow your lead»?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  No problem Trigger......we've got a few more minutes before we're ready to launch this baby.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Taps his commbadge:: *OPS Yel*: Trigger to Yel.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Raises an eyebrow::  CNS:  Yeah, like that'd be the day!  ::grins::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Steps out of the Siren and heads for a quiet corner of the shuttle bay::
CIV Storm says:
@ OPS:  I am well trained for not reading thoughts, but emotions are rather hard to keep out.  I won't be far from you if that is what has you so unhappy about this.  :: Stands.::
CIV Storm says:
@XO:  Are we going offshore of off boat?
OPS Yel says:
*aCTO*: Yel here
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Looks around the Siren:: FCO: Nice ride... is this what the Admiral was so hush-hush about?
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
*OPS*: Can you authenticate a communiqué for me please commander?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Blinks:: CIV: We're going into the water.. Let me tell you a secret, I never dived before, so I have no idea what the difference is... ::Smiles faintly and starts walking to the water::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CNS:  Yep, this is her!  Trigger and I have made some modifications, and we're just about ready to put her into action.  What do you think?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
FCO: Very sleek... I like her. ::stands around a bit hesitant:: Uhm, where do I sit?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CIV: One of my best friends in Starfleet was betazoid, I am used to being read :: Smiles :: But I also trust your discretion ::looks at Jackson:: 
@XO: I have ... its a lot more ... distressing than an EVA, I'll tell you that
CIV Storm says:
@XO:  The distance one has to swim... I guess this should be just a simple survey of the water.  :: Looks concerned at her two companions.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Pats the seat next to his::  CNS:  Co-pilot anyone?  :: Grins::
OPS Yel says:
*aCTO*: Checking the communication
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Chuckles and sits down:: FCO: Co-pilot Varesh reporting for duty, sir.
OPS Yel says:
:: Runs it through the computer to be sure its real::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Quietly to the first officer as they step into the water.:: XO:  No it is not.  It is really quite nice actually.  Just remember to remain relaxed and do not do anything 'fast'.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods:: OPS: That’s some reassurance.. :: Steps into the water and wades in deeper, making sure his breathing device is still working::
Ens Ar-kol says:
%:: Ar-kol thinks of how they got into this mess in the first place...Harlan was her name::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Follows the others, looking worriedly at the little tubes that will be the only thing to make surte she will be alive::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Shakes her head, glad this is not a serious recon or they would be in trouble.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Yells::  aCTO:  Hey Trigger, we're just about ready here.  You joining us soon?

ACTION:  Ar-kol gasps as the point of a shoe makes contact with his ribs most rudely... not to mention with force.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Lets his head go below water, very reluctantly, and opens his eyes below water, looking around::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Looks up and yells back:: FCO: Be right with you, just checking something.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Whispers::  CNS:  Can you believe how squeamish humans are when nakedness becomes involved?  :: Grins::
OPS Yel says:
*aCTO*: The message checks out, its from admiral Harlan.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
*OPS Yell*: Acknowledges, thanks, Trigger out.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Giggles:: FCO: The poor things. I mean, skin is skin... why do they have to add all connotations and taboos to it?
Ens Ra-kol says:
%:: Flinches as his brother is hit in the chest. He tries to get up::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Gets under water in one quick dive and looks around:: Self: So far so good
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CNS:  Humans have come so far, but they're still lacking in quite a few areas.

ACTION:  Another communiqué comes in from Admiral Harlan for the captain.

Ens Ar-kol says:
%:: Tries to ignore the pain of getting hit. He can't fool his brother, but he might fool them. But, as he grits his teeth, he must admit to himself it's a pathetic attempt::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
FCO: Quite so. There is still hope for them.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CNS:  And if there's hope for you, there's definitely hope for them!  :: Chuckles::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Loving the water, decides to let the others work their issues out and slips fully under the water as soon as she can, testing the unusual equipment to make sure all is well.::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Reads the communiqué and replies "Acknowledged and Affirmative, Instructions received and understood"::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Steps into the Siren again and makes his way to the new tactical console::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks up from his padd, and checks the communiqué::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Swims carefully, following the other two. Hoping they won't go too much down::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Raises an eyebrow:: FCO: The same goes for you, my friend. ::looks at the console:: Anything I should know about this contraption?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  Going into pre-flight check now.  Captain wants us on the move.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Takes his seat:: FCO: Weapons and shielding secure and ready for departure. we're good to go.

Scenery:  Warm water surrounds the awayteam as they step into the salty waters.  Visibility is excellent on this world that has known no pollution to its waters.

FCO LtJG Knight says:
CNS:  Only that we've never tested the stealth mode on her, that's why we're leaving as it gets dark.....won't raise any suspicions with the locals on the planet.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Reads it over:: *FCO*: Lieutenant, hold your launch.  I'll be there in a second.  :: Gets up::
CIV Storm says:
:: Swims down to the sands and follows the islands slope downwards.::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Looks up after hearing the CO:: FCO: Now what?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  Great!  Looking forward to seeing how your upgrades work.  ::hears the CO::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
FCO: I take it we're going in using the stealth anyway? :: Raises an eyebrow at the CO's comm::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*CO*:  Standing by sir.
Ens Ar-kol says:
%:: He sits back up, looking at the man who gave him the kick::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Appreciates she can at least see where she is going before actually getting there and just follows the others trying to breathe steadily::
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Slides into the TL:: OPS Yel: You have the bridge.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CNS:  Of course V.  Better to play it safe than be sorry and have the Captain answer to the locals.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Follows Storm through the water::

ACTION:  The man stares down at Ar-kol and smiles with a nod before turning to leave him with nothing.

OPS Yel says:
:: Raises her eyebrows:: CO :Yes sir! :: Gulps::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks down to the Shuttlebay, and enters it::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Smiles:: FCO: Well, sounds like he's on his way to explain in person if we are seen.
Ens Ra-kol says:
%:: He looks at the man who kicked his brother, wondering what it is he came to do? Just hit them? He remembers the face of the man... He's just been added to his black list::
OPS Yel says:
:: Leaves her station, letting someone else handle it and heads for the center chair. Looks at it for a moment. Then sits::
CO Capt Monroe says:
aCTO: A word with you, ensign.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Stands and follows the CO out the bridge entrance:: CO: Sir?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Looks over at the CNS::  CNS:  Wonder what that's all about.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks real serious:: aCTO: I got a communiqué from Admiral Harlan.  :: Pauses::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Shrugs:: FCO: Aaron, this whole operation is shrouded in such mystery, smoke and mirrors, I think you know more than I do.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Swims steadily, trying to imagine she will soon be on the surface again… or better yet, aboard the Nighthawk::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
CO: I got one myself sir; I think they should be the same.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CNS:  I don't know about that, but I do agree there's a lot we don't know.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@::notices the scenery and for a moment ponders getting samples of the sea flora but then decides that would require further diving, certainly not worth it::
CO Capt Monroe says:
aCTO: It seems your medical background, is known by the Admiral.  I am here to offer you the position of aCMO, until we get the paperwork though.
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Enjoying the dive except for the fact she has nothing to put samples in so she can take them back.::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::nods:: FCO: Seriously Aaron, all I know is what we've been told in the briefing, and some of the research notes on that bug... and even then it was a few paragraphs.
Ens Ar-kol says:
%:: After the man leaves, he gives himself a full examination. He can't take much more of this. He's tough, but he can only handle so much::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Nods:: CO: Aye sir, I accept the position gladly, although I must ask how this will affect the current mission?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CNS:  Then I guess I don't know anything more than you do; looks like we'll be learning about this together.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Holds up his hand:: aCTO: Absolutely nothing.  We will proceed as planned.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Nods:: FCO: I can't think of a better person to watch my back in this.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Tries to keep up with Storm, swimming is not his strongest point, as previous experiences had already learned, and even Brianna had told him back then::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Grins:: CNS:  I'll have to watch out for all of you, not just your back.

ACTION:  The three divers come to the edge of the islands slope.  The rest is straight down filled with darkness their meager gear cannot penetrate and there is less sunlight at this depth to see much.

CO Capt Monroe says:
aCTO: Congratulation Doctor.  You are officially my ACMO.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Pouts:: FCO: And there I thought it was one of my better features. :: Grins::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Nods again:: CO: Understood sir, :: Smiles:: if there is nothing else sir, I believe we were in a bit of a hurry. :: Grins::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Looks at the two ahead. really wishing they aren’t intending on going forward::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~~CNS:  Trust me, it's not.~~~~
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Peeks into the Cabin:: FCO: Take care of this ship, I want to at least take her out for a spin.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Reaches the end of the slope and looks down into darkness and shakes his head in disappointment::
CIV Storm says:
@ ~~~~ XO:  Sir, permission to speak this way?~~~~
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: I don't know if I should be offended or not... I'll take it as a compliment.~~~ ::winks and looks a the console again::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Gets near the others and points up with a pleading look::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  You know how I feel about my girls....wouldn't let a thing happen the her!  See you when we get back Captain.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods, thinking the word "Yes"::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Smiles:: FCO: Get going!  :: Walks out of the shuttlebay::

ACTION:  Two guards enter and take out Ens Ra-kol without a by-your- leave and forcefully so.

FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  Everything okay Trigger?
Ens Ra-kol says:
%:: Harlan... They'd been working for her for 3 years now. Straight from the academy into her employ. Looking around it was obvious that their latest mission didn't go off without a hitch::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Takes his seat again and calibrates the new tactical sensors::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Glances over at Trigger waiting for his answer::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Heads back to the bridge::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Waits for any reaction from the others::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*OPS Yel*:  This is Knight.  We're ready for departure and request clearance.
CIV Storm says:
@ ~~~~ XO: I do not see anything here to indicate there is anything that might lead to our culprits.  And we can only go so far with this gear.~~~~  :: Looks back at Gomes:: ~~~~ Might I suggest we have followed their rules and make our way to the Siren?~~~~
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: As well as can be expected Aaron, ::  Smiles:: Barring any further interruption we're good to go,
OPS Yel says:
:: Goes to her console:: *FCO*Acknowledged. Permission granted, have a pleasant flight
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Just catches Gomes pointing up and holds up a hand in reply, telling her to wait::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Would sigh if she could, but then she just waits trying to keep calm::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*OPS Yel*:  Understood.  Knight out!  :: Activates flight bay doors::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Glances at Storm, once again thinking the words. "Do we know where it is? If so, then let's head there.." ::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::wait for the craft to take off:: FCO: I'm like a kid on a fun fair ride. Can't wait for the ride to begin.
CIV Storm says:
@~~~~XO:  I have no idea sir.  I am not even sure they have left the ship.  But... Commander Gomes... she really is not a water person... and you have so little experience... I could go further if you want, though this equipment is limiting us...~~~~
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CNS/aCMO:  If everyone is strapped in, here we go!  :: Activates maneuvering thrusters::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Shakes his head, his mind made up. Turning to Gomes, he points up to the water surface, meanwhile thinking the words for Storm. "We're going up, then continue from there. I don't want to spend time here longer than necessary, especially not waiting.." ::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods relieved and waits for them to start before heading back::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Secures the external doors ready for launch:: FCO: By the way. Looks like Admiral Harlan has decided my medical expertise outweighs my tactical knowledge so I've been reassigned as acting Chief medical officer until the paperwork comes through.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Penetrates the forcefield and takes the Siren out::
Ens Ar-kol says:
%:: Now the situation can't get worse than this. As the guards take his brother away from him he feels even worse than he did. And he knows it will only get worse::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Slightly disappointed, nods and begins to swim upwards.::  ~~~~ XO:  Go slowly upwards, sir.~~~~
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Once again follows Storm up to the surface, decreasing the distance between surface and himself very slowly::

ACTION:  A not so friendly thug goes to visit Ra-kol to leave him some more body reminders.

OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Follows them again::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: In his best air less voice:: FCO/aCMO: Welcome to the Siren, gentlemen. For your enjoyment there is a pretty view out the main view port. Refreshments will not be served at this time, but the doctor is on call. :: Changes the end of his recitation to fit Trigger's news::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCMO:  Well congratulations Doc!  Though from what I've seen with the modifications here, I'd say your tactical expertise is exceptional as well.

ACTION:  Ar-kol is tossed into a small white room where there is nothing more then a table and a rather squat, unpleasant looking man who is trying to look friendly.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: Let's just say I didn't stick to one area of study when I went to the academy. ::smiles:: Tactical, Medical and engineering are all my forte.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
aCMO: Well, I'm just happy you have that medical knowledge. Or Bri would not have made it. I still owe you for that.
Ens Ra-kol says:
%:: They tried to stay separated before, but it didn't feel good. As he is taken away from his brother he knows the feeling will get worse over time::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCMO:  Say Doc, I've got this pulled muscle here, was wondering if you'd care to take a look at it?  :: Grins mischievously::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
:: smiles:: CNS: Maybe you could buy me a drink later commander.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Looks down for a moment to make sure Gomes is doing okay, then continues::

ACTION:  The divers head break surface to see the island itself a quarter of a kilometer away.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Nods:: aCMO: Anytime, anywhere.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Gives Jackson a thumbs up as he looks and then proceeds, just wanting it to be over soon::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: Take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning. :: Chuckles::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CNS/aCMO:  Okay, we'll be entering the planets atmosphere in 15 seconds.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Grins:: aCMO: Well, doc. If you need some help cutting up people sometime, call me - I used to be CMO on the Scimitar.
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Takes the breathing apparatus from her lips.::  XO:  Sir... you might want to contact the ship to beam us aboard or we can swim back to the beach.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks onto the bridge after a quick detour to the lounge:: OPS Yel: Thank you.  I'll take over now.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Finally feels his head break the surface and treads water, staying afloat to take off his breathing device:: All: Ah.. Glad we're through with that.. :: Looks around and sees the island a distance away::
Ens Ar-kol says:
%:: Looking at the man before him he judges his strengths and weaknesses. The feeble attempt of the man to look friendly is hardly meant and certainly not convincing::
OPS Yel says:
::nods to the Captain and takes her station::
  Dratt says:
% Ar-kol:  Welcome... I trust your stay has been uneventful?
OPS Yel says:
CO: The Siren has departed and all is proceeding as scheduled
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
CNS: Really? Maybe I could use your assistance next time we get caught in a  ile situation.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCMO:  Once we're past the atmosphere, you've got the honours of engaging us into stealth.  ::grins::
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Thank you.
Ens Ar-kol says:
%::I can honestly say that nothing happened that i haven't seen before::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
aCMO: Providing I'm in a shape to help you... I wasn't much better off that Bri was in the first place.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: I'm on top of it Aaron.
Ens Ar-kol says:
%:: He tries to keep a straight face as he feels his brother being tortured::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Surfaces and again waits::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Keeps the Siren in control as it shudders going through the atmosphere::  CNS/aCMO:  We're just about clear.
  Dratt says:
% Ar-kol:  Still nothing to say?  :: shakes his head::  Your poor brother... or is he a clone?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Nods at Storm and taps the communicator he was still holding:: *Nighthawk*: Jackson to Nighthawk.. Three to beam aboard..
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
#:: Checks the readouts:: FCO: Looking good on my boards.
Ens Ra-kol says:
%:: As he's being tortured he tries to ignore the pain.. Which is nothing compared to what he will feel like if he stays separated from his brother for long::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Doesn’t remove her breathing device, only slightly happier to be up here than down there, wondering what Jackson has in mind::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#:: Clears the atmosphere::  aCMO:  Okay Trigger, anytime you're ready.
Ens Ar-kol says:
% Dratt: He is my brother. Why are you hurting him and speaking to me? ::Tries not to let Dratt notice he feels what his brother feels::
  Dratt says:
%Ar-kol:  At last you deign to speak with us... good, very good.  That should answer your question right there.  :: Leans forward::  I like communication... yes... I very much do.  Are you ready now to answer our questions?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#:: Engages the stealth engines:: FCO: Stealth engaged lieutenant, dive when ready.

ACTION:  The siren with a slight bounce, glides through the atmosphere, downward to the waiting waters below.

Ens Ar-kol says:
%:: Tries to smile:: Dratt: Communication is good.. but I’m not sure if I like your way of communicating. If you untie me though I’m sure I can repay the favor
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#CNS/aCMO:  Initiating submersion shields.  :: Hits a button on his console::
CO Capt Monroe says:
*XO*: Acknowledged, Commander, Problems?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
#FCO: Let’s see what this girl can do.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#FCO/CNS: Brace for impact. :: Braces against his console::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@*CO*: Well, we just would like to get aboard the Siren, and explore these waters a bit further, and we don't feel like swimming a quarter of a mile back to shore to get the shuttle..
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#:: Switches back to maneuvering thrusters::  aCMO:  Oh come now Trigger.......you don't expect a rough landing/submersion from me, do you?  :: Grins::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
#FCO: Like a dive without a splash.
CO Capt Monroe says:
*XO*: Very well.  OPS Yel: Contact the Siren.
OPS Yel says:
:: Nods to the CO and taps her console:: CO: Channel opened
Ens Ra-kol says:
%:: He tries to cover his face. Not that he's conceited, but they've managed to roll through their adventures unscarred, and he'd like to keep it that way::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#FCO: Let's just say I don't trust these submersibles; water has a habit of slowing you down at a hell of a rate of knots.
  Dratt says:
% :: Shakes his head with a somewhat fatherly smile.::  Ar-kol:  Not at all...  you owe me nothing... but I would like some information.  Such as who you are, why you are here, who sent you... the usual stuff.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#::drops the nose of the siren downwards for it's dive::  aCMO:  Trust me Doc, she's in good hands.
  
ACTION:  The siren slides beautifully into the waters she was created to navigate.  At a touch, the special shielding activates at low energy levels.

CIV Storm says:
@ OPS:  You alright?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#:: Hands start moving across his console as he enters information while the Siren continues its descent::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#FCO: Submersive shielding operating at 100%, Engines rigged for silent running.
Ens Ar-kol says:
%Dratt: Oh, is that all? I'm Ar-Kol and I’m here to enjoy the scenery. Although I’ve seen more than enough of the insides of this building
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#aCMO:  See, now was that a rough landing?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods then takes her breathing device:: CIV: I would be far better in solid ground but yes I am. I just don't like the waiting
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#:: Hits a button on his console and watches in front of him as a light comes on::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#FCO: It almost restores my faith in submersibles.
CIV Storm says:
@ OPS:  It should not be much longer... but... did you see all that underwater life?  :: works on taking her mind away from the swimming aspect.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#:: Chuckles::  aCMO:  Forget about the submersibles, have faith in your FCO's superior flying skills.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#:: Leans over::  CNS:  Did that sound conceited?  :: Grins::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CIV: Quite true, but no sign of what we came here for
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
#FCO: Not at all, just VERY confident. :: Looks over at Trigger:: aCMO: He can substantiate his claims.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#:: Runs a full sensor sweep on a set of co-ordinates given to him in his communique from the Admiral:: FCO: I'm forwarding you some co-ordinates to start looking in.
OPS Yel says:
COMM: Siren: Commander Jackson's AT is on the planet, can you get a lock and beam them aboard?
  Dratt says:
:: A less then pleasant look passes over his face before he forces a smile.::  Ar-kol:  And you came her why?  And they sent you, who?
Ens Ra-kol says:
%:: He senses his brother is unharmed. And although they are separated and he's in pain.. that at least gives him some relief::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#:: Looks over at V and winks::  aCMO:  Acknowledged Doc.  Let's hope we find what we're looking for.
CO Capt Monroe says:
*OPS*: Can you beam up the Nighthawk please and meet me my ready room.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
#COM: Yel: Acknowledged Nighthawk. Send me their co-ordinates.
CO Capt Monroe says:
*OPS*: Can you beam up to the Nighthawk please and meet me my ready room.
CIV Storm says:
@ OPS:  Maybe they are not here?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#:: Hears the COM::  aCMO:  Trigger, can we beam people onboard with the submersion shields in place?
Ens Ar-kol says:
%Dratt: Look, loose the act alright? I know you are as friendly as a monkey that's been deprived of bananas too long. In fact, you look like one too. I told you, i came here for the scenery. I heard about this planet and it's inhabitants look on technology. I thought it would be nice for a change.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: The Captain is requesting my presence
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#FCO: Only at shallow depths Aaron we'd have to deactivate the shielding briefly to allow the transport.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@OPS: You better get something on you before that.. ::Smiles faintly, still treading water::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@*Yel*: Please beam me to my quarters when I give the word
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
#FCO: Well, I'm ready with the transporters; you just say when I can do that.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: got it covered CIV: Please get me more samples
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@*CO*On my way Captain
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@*OPS Yel*Energize
CO Capt Monroe says:
*OPS*: Very well.  OPS Yel: You have the bridge.  I will be in my ready room, please sent Commander Gomes to my ready room when she arrives.

ACTION: Gomes is beamed to her quarters.

CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Heads up to the ready room and looks out the window::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
#:: Nods in satisfaction as he gets the co-ordinates, and a brief note only to beam the XO and CIV::
OPS Yel says:
:: Nods to the CO after beaming Gomes::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Starts to say something but Gomes is quickly gone.::  XO:  I guess we are next. :: Sighs::  Al la natural.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Arrives at her quarters and gets a clean uniform. Dresses quickly::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#aCMO:  Understood Caelan.  I'm going to bring us back up toward the surface.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#:: Goes back over the spec of the Siren:: FCO: Scratch that, I can open a window in the submersive shielding, transport on my signal.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Gets to the TL, only then realizing her hair is all loose and wet but doesn't mind that::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CIV: Indeed... ::Waits patiently::
Ens Ra-kol says:
%:: His black list is getting longer and longer since he's on this planet. This man's face he won't forget. And when he's free he'll make sure this man won't forget his::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#aCMO:  As long as you're sure it won't compromise the integrity.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#:: Opens a window in the shields:: FCO: Window's open Aaron, Beam away.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
#:: Taps the controls and beams Storm & Gary to the Siren::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Crosses the bridge with everyone looking sideways at her and rings the RR's buzzer::
  Dratt says:
:: Uncertain what a monkey or banana is, gets the idea anyways.::  Ar-kol:  That is of course why you were able to discover our facility... in the middle of nowhere.  :: Glares.::  Try again.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#CNS:  You have a green light.  Please beam them aboard.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
#::Smiles at Trigger:: aCMO: Well, it was me who was on the controls, but they are here. Close the aperture.
  
ACTION:  The XO and CIV find themselves aboard the siren, with water sheeting down their bodies and the odd equipment on their heads and strapped across their chests.

Ens Ar-kol says:
%Dratt: Both me and my brother have an inquisitive nature. We can't help it you don't know how to camouflage a facility. And if you've been listening... I told you we wanted a little peace and quiet. So the middle of nowhere would be a good place for that, now wouldn't it?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
#:: Arrives on the siren and looks around to see whether there are any clothes around that he could wear::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#:: Nods to Varesh and closes the window::
CIV Storm says:
# :: Looks around with a sigh as she takes off the odd gear wishing it were clothes.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#*XO*:  Cmdr., you'll find new sets of clothing in the bins where you're at.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
#aCMO:  Great job Caelan.  :: Smiles::
CIV Storm says:
# XO:  Thank goodness for their foresight... :: goes and gets some clothes to pull on.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
#:: Looks at the bins and smiles in relief:: *FCO*: Thanks lieutenant.. ::Walks there and takes some to put on::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
#FCO: I got a weak signal; pinpointing it now.
  Dratt says:
Ar-kol:  Right... the middle of the ocean on a small boat... I hear you well.  I hope your brother still can when you see him... I am not sure he will be able to see you though.

ACTION:  At a motion from Dratt, two guards come in and drag Ar-kol back to the cell.

Ens Ar-kol says:
%:: Looks at the man like he's ready to kill him.. which he is:: Dratt: You better make sure of that::
