Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Captain's Log Stardate 10606.17: We are still trying to contain the epidemic.  But we have another problem, from our last encounter, Baccus has caught up with us and are also trying to get the artifact.  I am hoping this does not turn ugly.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
First Officer's log, Stardate 10606.17 - We have come across some skeletons on the planet's surface, or more precise, in the tunnels down on the planet. We are trying to find out more details about the time and cause of death. It might tell us more about this plague we may be facing. We will be proceeding as soon as we can, with as much information as we can.

CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
::hears his badge:: *CO*: None yet captain, I'll keep you informed.
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: As light is cast upon the skeleton it becomes obvious the bones are very old but are nearly intact save for the place where the XO stepped. There are probably not many decomposing microbes around
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*CMO*: Alright.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@CNS: I wonder if it is of the former residents or the alien invaders?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@CIV: Who knows? ::does a deeper scan of the bone composition:: CIV/CSO: Maybe there is a deposit or lingering trace of what killed it.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Shines the light along the cave's walls to see whether there are any markings there::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@All: I'm not getting any recognizable species from my scans.
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
MO: Holax, what's the situation down there?
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@CNS: If it were the former residents... wouldn't the scans be able to identify it?
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods at the CNS:: CNS: I guess that means finding a cause and time of death is equally difficult, or even worse..?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@CIV: I'm not quite sure.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::nods to the CNS and looks around feeling uncomfortable::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::stands::  XO/CSO/CNS: Well I think we're wasting our time here.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::leans closer and shines his wrist light along the corpse:: All: There is trauma to the chest... could be discarge from an energy weapon.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<OPS Yel>CO: The ship we contacted sent a team of four to the planet. But they landed several Km away from our team
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<EO Whiskey>*sickbay*Engineering to sickbay. We have two engineers collapsed here. They seem to be feverish, we are administrating first aid
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@XO/CSO/CNS: Do you think this may be one of the invaders shot by the inhabitants hiding in these tunnels?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::does a closer scan of the area::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@XO: I agree with the Glinn, we should continue
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Alright keep an eye on them.  *XO*: Commander you might have some company.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The message to the XO gets through but with some interference
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@CIV: That is a possibility. ::gets up:: XO: I don't know if we will learn anything else from it.
 CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
*Whiskey*: I have a medical team down there somewhere Whiskey... try collaring one of them.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:

@Team: Alright, then let us get going... ::Looks at the CSO:: CSO: What does our map say?
MO_Ens_Holax says:
::Frowns:: CMO: It's.. hectic. I tried to work it out, but no luck as such. I think we can only do our best to treat them but I’m afraid we won't get results until the away team are back.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@XO: Its not exactly straightforward but, I think its down this tunnel ...which according to the tricorder will get us down and deeper into these tunnels
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*XO*: People that are thinking of using that artifact for bad uses.
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
MO: Ok, first thing we need to do is find a way of neutralizing the virus... work with samples from one of our patients here.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@XO: Deeper will disrupt our comm signal even more.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::takes up the rear of the Away Team::
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
<Medic> ::approaches one of the unconscious engineers::

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods at the CNS:: CNS: So be it, we do need to find out what has gone on here... And the we do have the map as a guide.. ::Looks at the team again:: All: Did anyone bring along relay beacons?
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::stops and takes a close look beginning to chisel at the walls with the butt of her disruptor::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::opens his pack and rummages around:: XO: Not in mine.
MO_Ens_Holax says:
CMO: I agree. I just administered some Losorin to Mr Nescheriakova to counteract disorientation, it seemed to work.
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
<Medic> EO: I need some more light here.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::continues moving with her eyes on the tunnel::All: There seems to be a room up ahead
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:

MO_Ens_Holax says:
CMO: I shall try to get our other patients functioning and then I'll take some blood samples and get to work on them.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@XO/CSO/CNS: There is tons of it down here!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::turns to look over at Marat:: CIV: Latinum? ::leans closer:: That would make a reason to invade.
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
MO: Good, I'll be down in engineering. ::walks out of sickbay::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The tunnel ahead seems to be composed with latinum, with patches here and there
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Walks a bit further, then hears the CIV and turns around to look at her findings::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@CNS: I may set up camp and retire here.
MO_Ens_Holax says:
::Smiles, for an unknown reason::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@CIV: Bad idea... this place is still a plague zone.

@Self: be my guest ::continues moving oblivious to the precious metal::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::taps at her bio suit::  CNS: Not with this on it isn't.  ::smiling::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<OPS Yel>CO: I am loosing the away team. They seem to be entering an area with heavy metal deposits
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::turns to follow Alex:: CIV: One can live in those things for only so long. Come, we need to investigate further.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::notes the CSO forgot the suits comm system transmits everything even mumbles to herself::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Walking along with the CNS and CSO::
MO_Ens_Holax says:
::Walks back out of the office and towards the patient who identified himself as 'Baboon'.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::hearing the CNS she looks briefly at the walls then quickly catches up with the team taking up her position at the rear still keeping an eye out for "visitors"::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Compensate.
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: as the away team move, they enter a room which lights once sensors detect their presence. The lights are odd in shape coming from globes at the 6 corners of the room. All of the walls shine with latinum and diamonds along with other precious stones embedded
MO_Ens_Holax says:
::Arranges Losorin into hypospray and administers to the other two patients::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::looks around the room in awe and tries to mentally calculate the distance from this world to Cardassian space::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: All the beauty of it is, however, outshined by a dozen skeletons scattered around. They have weapons and uniforms
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::absentmindedly rubs his arms where the tingling doesn't stop:: XO: Sir, I can feel the plague trying to get into my system. ::glances over at Marat, and leans closer:: We need to talk, privately.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<OPS Yel>CO: Yes sir, but they better not go in much deeper
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
::puts on a bio suit and enters ME::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks at the room and it's decor and content, wondering what has happened here::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::stops as they enter the room, his eyes dazzled by the brilliance reflected at them:: All: Oh, my!
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::notices the CNS' look and remembers an earlier conversation he had with the XO about plagues::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Main engineering is a lot more quiet than usual. There are still officers going about their duties, apparently unaffected, while a makeshift sickbay was improvised near the warp core
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@All: If I didn't know better, I would say that those who died were punished for being greedy. ::gives a sardonic smile::
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
::heads for the warp core:: All: Who put triage here?
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@XO/CSO/CNS: Well it appears they died defending their treasure.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::walks closer, tricorder in hand:: All: Same age as the other corpse, but these are Romulans. According to my scans, and these uniforms.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::raises an eye at the discovery of Romulans here::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@ACTION: Looking carefully 6 hatches can be seen going in all six directions. They are to small to walk but big enough to crawl
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Frowns:: CNS: Are you certain? ::Walks closer to one of the corpses to inspect it more closely::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<OPS Yel>CO: Er...sir? Our friends reached the away team's site. I wouldn't be surprised if they spent all this time looking for our shuttle
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::looking about::  XO/CSO/CNS: I say we each take two of these hatchways and investigate further.
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Lock down the shuttle.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CIV: The map points right actually
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<OPS Yel>CO: No need, the shuttle is locked
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@CSO: What about the other five?  Should we not see what's down those tunnels?
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
::starts moving people away from the core:: All: I said... who put triage next to the core?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::kneels next to one of the corpses:: XO: I recognize the uniforms. But what puzzles me is the fact that there is no obvious cause of death.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CIV: Lots of precious stones no doubt.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@CIV: It is difficult to scan long distances with these heavy metals
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods at the CSO:: CSO: Then right it is... CIV: We don't want to be split if there are people that are, possibly, hunting us...
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::points as she expects the XO to want to lead the way::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Very well, continue tracking them.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::feels an itching in her hand where the previous bio-suit glove was breached::  XO/CSO/CNS: Umm..... I don't mean to alarm anyone but.....  my hand is beginning to itch rather severely  ::holds up the gloved hand that had the slivers::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::gets to his feet again:: All: We can check them out after we're done with the map?
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Walks towards the indicated hatch and looks in::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@:hearing the CSO:: CSO: Well that's an added benefit yes....  ::smiles::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::goes over to Marat:: CIV: Let me check. ::taps a control on his tricorder and sets it for medical scans::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::looks alarmed at the CIV but then tries to maintain a calm face:: CIV: Maybe it was from the bruising and wuick healing?
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::catches a glimpse of the CSO' alarmed look::  CNS: No need to save my feelings Counselor.  Give it to me straight.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::gently holds her gloved hand while scanning:: CIV: That is my concentration face, Marat. Its an inflammation, I don't pick up any pathogens.
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
::grabs a medic to help move people to a quiet corner of sickbay ::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<EO Whiskey>::a bit out of breathe:: CMO: The triage...where we have space. that’s where we put it
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::puts his tricorder away:: CIV: I can treat that on the shuttle.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@CNS: Well then let's get at it then.  ::makes a note to grab some latinum on the way back up::
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
EO: Then you put it in a corner, out of the way... not right in front of the core. I thought engineers were supposed to have some triage training.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::walks over to the CSO & XO::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks at the CNS:: CNS: No major issues I hope?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::shakes his head:: XO: Just an inflammation.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::stands off to the side tapping her foot thinking it's time for Federation Committee meetings again::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: CNS: Good... Now, let's get going then... ::Looks down the hatch again::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::grins over his shoulder at the Glinn, feeling her frustration::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@ACTION: The tunnel is very dark
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Points his flashlight into the hatch and hopes it will light up now::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::rubs her gloved hand against her EVA suit's thigh area trying to stop the itching::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<EO Whiskey>::eyes the CMO and moves the sick officers::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The tunnel is just like the room, rather bright with all the metals
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::takes a quick look over her shoulder down the tunnel where they came to see if she can see anyone before following the others disruptor held pointing upward::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@All: Nothing like jumping in with both feet. ::points his light down the hatch and gets in.::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: Marat sees a shadow moving in the tunnel. But quickly its gone
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
::moves the last of the officers:: EO: Thank you, now I need some extra light over here.
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::stops to take a second look moving about a bit to allow the helmet lights to shine on various areas before giving up::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<EO Whiskey>CMO: What about a cup of coffee? ::gasps for breathe and finds the CMO more light::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Follows all the others into the new tunnel::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::chalks it up to the single Cardassian Syndrome... ie Paranoia::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::follows into the tunnels::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::crawls along, shining his light along the walls::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<OPS Yel>CO: I lost the lock on the away team, they moved deeper into the metal deposits
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
EO: Does it look like I can drink coffee in this? ::points to his bio suit::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::looking about::  XO/CSO/CNS: If it wasn't for a lifeless planetary surface, or the dark tunnels... I think this would make an excellent vacation getaway
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::chuckles:: CIV: I like your view of the world.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<EO Whiskey>;;shrugs and takes a seat to be examined as well::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::shrugs::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Ignores the CIV as they proceed down the tunnel::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The crawlers can see some light ahead
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
::orders the medics to start scanning all the engineers for signs of the toxin::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@All: I see something up ahead. ::crawls a bit faster, trying to squash his slight claustrophobia::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Alright.  Give them 30 Minutes then we will go in after them
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
<OPS Yel>::nods to the CO::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@XO/CSO/CNS: I hope there is more space where that light is coming from.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Notices the light up ahead:: CSO: Should we be coming up on another room by now?
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: ... and noise in the back. Very loud noise as if someone wanted to tear the walls down
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
::scans the officer who is lying in the corner sweating profusely::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::jerks his head around to look back down the tunnel:: All: What the hell is that?!
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The light is from another room. This one is smaller but also with six walls. One of them has a very ornamented door
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::quickly tries to point her disruptor toward the sound of that noise and hoping her EVA Suit will light whatever it is::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::exits into the room, pulling his phaser and waiting for the others to exit the tunnel::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@XO/CSO/CNS: There is something back there.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks around as he hears the noise::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: In the back, the CIV sees movement of 3 humanoid forms. But she can't make out much more
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::points her Disruptor at them::  3 Figures: Identify yourselves!!
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Climbs out of the tunnel, immediately turning around to look at what the CIV is looking at::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: One of the figures looks into the tunnel with a grin and enters after yelling "here they are"
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::steps back a bit not dropping her weapon::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@All: Our visitors? ::keeps his weapon trained on the tunnel::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
@::climbs out to the room with the door as well::
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@3 figures: I SAID identify yourselves!
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Gets out of sight again, unholstering his phaser and checking it's setting::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: As the figure approaches Marat, not affraid, she can see its an Andorian "Mind if we get out and chat?"
CIV_Emsil_Marat says:
@::looks to the others::  XO/CSO/CNS: Andorians...  ::said in an 'unfortunately for us' tone::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::looks at the others:: All: My bump of trouble is itching...
CMO_Ens_Trigger says:
::identifies that this engineer has ingested the toxin rather than inhaling it::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@::Blinks for a moment as he sees one of the Federation's founding species coming out of the tunnel, wondering what they are doing here::
Host CO_Capt_Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Have Shuttlebay 2 prepare a shuttle.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
@Andorian: Chat sounds right... What are you doing here?
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Aboard the Nighthawk the mysterious disease of the engineers starts to be solved. Apparently something in the food or drink caused this. But where did it come from
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: Out of the tunnel come three figures, 1 Andorian, apparently the leader and two Ferengi. They have weapons but they are in their belts. they also carry several pieces of latinum and other stones
