XO_Wilkens says:  CO: Sir, incoming communication, Planetary Council.

OPS_Zax says:  @:looks at the CMO: CMO: Anything to report?

CTO_Castillo says:  ::begins to check for warp signatures and trails as well::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::on bridge, wondering what Castillo looks like naked::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::checks the results again, not even getting the "normal" variations that he should::

CMO_Varr says:  @OPS: Little has been determined of the data so far, and ships status is optimal right now.

Host Council says:  COM: VF:  .............and what about the Ambassador?

CEO_Jamin says:  ::picks up a very strange thought indeed....::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances at the Counselor, acknowledging her presence::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::sighs heavily as he hears the Planetary President's voice::  COMM: Council:  Mr. President sir, we had to abandon the search.  The ship disappeared just seconds before colliding with our hull.

OPS_Zax says:  @::looks at the others as well:: All: Report

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Notes the level of weariness in the Captain's voice and silently withers::

Host Council says:  COM: VF:  Is the ship lost? including the Ambassador then?

CNS_Luchena says:  ::decides to go to Engineering.  Enters TL and remembers to tell it where to go::

CSO_Larek says:  @OPS: Oxygen is steadily decreasing, still have no answers on the cause of it.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::notes the Counselor::  CNS:  Can you determine if the President is hiding anything?

CEO_Jamin says:  ::mutters under his breath again, and makes a note to overhaul the computer core::

OPS_Zax says:  @COM: Valley Forge: Oxygen is steadily decreasing, still have no answers on the cause of it.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  COMM: Council:  I find it hard to believe it ever existed sir.  I think it may have been some sort of trick to lure us away...sir.  ::smiles weakly::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::changes her mind and decides to go back to the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::changes her mind again and continues on to Engineering::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::goes back to the sensor logs to look for the same potential mass variations there::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Sighs and swivels in his chair, silently addressing the Chief TAC Officer:: CTO: Still no sign of the Planetary Defense Vessel?

Host Council says:  COM: VF:  Captain, I did not trick you into leaving the planet! ::looks disturbed::  Captain, if that ship wasn’t destroyed, it is still out there, the pilot is one of the Defense Commands finest

CTO_Castillo says:  ::frustrated with the whole vanishing of a ship, begins to wonder if he was not just daydreaming or something ::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  XO: Please liaise with the Runabout, Commander

CTO_Castillo says:  ::whispering:: XO: nothing that I can tell it's like it vanished 

OPS_Zax says:  @::waiting for the CO to respond::

XO_Wilkens says:  CO: Aye-aye, sir, I'm on it. CTO: Okay, report to me even the smallest of discrepancies!

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  COMM: Council:  Sir, I never meant to suggest anything of the sort.  ::wonders why the President has a guilty conscience::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::arrives in Engineering::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::whispering:: XO: and I know that the cloaking technology has not advanced that well you got it sir.

XO_Wilkens says:  COM: Runabout: Please re-state status, Cutlass... How is your mission proceeding?

CEO_Jamin says:  ::obliviously staring at the sensor data::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::watching Jamin at work and shielding her thoughts::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::senses...and turns:: CNS: Counselor?

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods absently to Castillo, his fingers already a blur on the push-button keyboard::

CNS_Luchena says:  CEO:  I didn't mean to disturb you, sir::

EO_Harhn says:  @::Sitting at console on runabout::

TO_Hull says:  CTO:  Sir, no ion trails anywhere from that defense vessel,  closing sensor range

CEO_Jamin says:  ::thinks that her earlier thoughts were much more disturbing than the visit:: CNS: Not at all...

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  COMM: Council: Your ship's aren't equipped with cloaking shields are they sir?  If they are that is a clear violation... sir.

OPS_Zax says:  @COM: Valley Forge: Oxygen is steadily decreasing, no discernible cause, Sir

CTO_Castillo says:  TO: Mr. Hull, I have never seen anything like this. there has got to be a ship out there some where. Keep working check with the Engineers maybe they could help out in our search ...

XO_Wilkens says:  COM: Runabout: Acknowledged. Stand by for further instructions, for now, Valley Forge out.

CNS_Luchena says:  CEO:  So, how do you like the Valley Forge, sir?

CMO_Varr says:  @::coughs::

OPS_Zax says:  @COM: Valley Forge: Cutlass standing by

OPS_Zax says:  @::looks at the CMO and raises a brow::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::trying to remember what she was talking to the CEO about::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::gives the console another little kick:: CNS: It's a maladjusted pile of obsolete circuitry.

CSO_Larek says:  @::continues to sift through information::

MO_Daetalus says:  ::trips on desk leg as he gets up::

EO_Harhn says:  @::Continues to download data from the satellites into the runabout computer memory core::

CNS_Luchena says:  CEO:  Challenging?

CMO_Varr says:  @::continues to clear his throat, without being to conspicuous, but hardly succeeding in the silent cabin::

OPS_Zax says:  @CMO: Are you okay, Lt.?

EO_Harhn says:  @CMO: Something wrong sir?

CEO_Jamin says:  ::grunts a bit, and presses another control:: CNS: No...just not working right.

CNS_Luchena says:  ::looks with interest at the controls::

Host Council says:  COM: VF:  Captain, we are aware of the Organian Peace Treaty, if the ship has one, it is not authorized.......this pilot is resourceful

CMO_Varr says:  @::standing:: All: I just need some water.  ::moves to the aft replicator to get some::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::having an idle thought about the CEO, but trying to be discrete::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  COMM:  Council:  I apologize Mr. President.  You do understand that I had to ask.

OPS_Zax says:  @::looks at the CMO suspiciously::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances to the Captain:: CO: Sir, sorry to interrupt. Cutlass reports that the planet's oxygen is slowly being depleted, and they have no clue as to why. They are standing by...

EO_Harhn says:  @OPS: Suggest we up-link this information to the Valley Forge

CEO_Jamin says:  ::runs another scan...ignoring a certain distraction...of the shield variances::

Host Council says:  COM: VF:  Yes Captain, you are on the record..........Our scientists here on the planet have readings that the planets temperature is rising, 10 degrees in the last half hour

CNS_Luchena says:  ::wandering around Engineering pretending to be fascinated::

MO_Daetalus says:  :: sorts and organizes PADDs on his desk::

CSO_Larek says:  @::checks orbit, sends all data to Valley Forge computers::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::looks at the XO then to the CTO::  CTO:  I imagine our equipment isn't shedding any light on the matter either?

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances back to the flight control station, adjusting their thrusters by 0.001 percent, to account for accelerated orbit deterioration::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::manually runs a filter on the data, not trusting the computer::

OPS_Zax says:  @CSO: Scan him ...see if he's okay

Host Council says:  ACTION:  The CEO's scan reveals the PDS attached to the hull of the Valley Forge

OPS_Zax says:  @::nods at EO:: Do so,,,,,

CTO_Castillo says:  CO: Captain, I wish I could tell you otherwise but I am afraid I have nothing to report at this time whatsoever sir. 

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  CTO:  Scan the systems sun and the planet's orbit.  See if the readings have changed in either of these areas.

CEO_Jamin says:  SELF: Woo! *CO*: Sir, the ship is ON the hull!

CSO_Larek says:  @::scans the CMO with internal sensors::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::looks slightly confused::  *CEO*:  The ship Mr. Jamin!?  You mean the Defense Vessel!?

CEO_Jamin says:  ::fine-tunes the results to determine exact location and if they've penetrated the hull::

EO_Harhn says:  @::Adjusts the flight pattern on several satellites to make passes directly over the northern and southern poles::

CMO_Varr says:  @::drinks his water in silence, gazing off at some point beyond the hull, stopping once he realizes what he is looking at, then, putting the glass into the replicator to be reclaimed, returns to his station::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Feels the ship shudder violently:: CO: Sir, the shuttle!

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  Ambassador:  Yes, that would explain the lack of our detecting him.  Well, let us get to the bridge and see if we can figure this problem out.  Shall we?  ::motions to the door::

OPS_Zax says:  COM: Valley Forge: Will do, Sir

Host Ambassador says:  ::Steps down off the pad, and heads out to the corridor::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::follows the Captain and Ambassador::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::awaiting orders, maintain tactical scans of the planet and so forth::

Host Ambassador says:  ACTION:  Temperatures begin to fall dramatically

CEO_Jamin says:  ::makes a slight adjustment to the telemetry feeds::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::arrives on the bridge::  XO: Report Commander.

CTO_Castillo says:  XO: sir your orders sir?

Host Ambassador says:  ::Takes a seat in one of the empty consoles::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::stands near the Ambassador in case he needs anything::

XO_Wilkens says:  CTO: Well, Mr. Castillo, with that obstacle... ::Turns around and stands at attention:: CO: Runabout reports their ETA as 2 minutes. We are standing by to receive them in Shuttle Bay 2.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods to the Ambassador:: Ambassador: Sir.

CTO_Castillo says:  ::snaps at attention as well::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::with a crisp salute to welcome the ambassador::

CSO_Larek says:  @::guides the runabout into the shuttlebay::

Host Council says:  COM: VF:  Captain, we are detecting a fall in the planets temperature..........the ocean studies are also revealing the algae is dying

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  XO: Nothing new on the planet's atmosphere?  We have to be picking something up.  What have scans produced on the northern areas?

XO_Wilkens says:  CO: Sir, Runabout is boarding as we speak.

EO_Harhn says:  @::Shuts down engines and main power of runabout once it touches the 
ground of the shuttlebay::

CSO_Larek says:  @::sets them gently down::

XO_Wilkens says:  *CSO*: I need you on the Bridge ASAP, Mr. Larek. Report in immediately with a status report.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  CTO:  What did your scans of the planet's orbit and the systems' sun reveal?

CSO_Larek says:  *XO*: Acknowledged.

CNS_Luchena says:  ::feeling concerned for the poor little algae::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Secures all runabout systems and opens the door::

OPS_Zax says:  ::looks at CSO:: CSO: Nice flying, Lt.

Host Council says:  ACTION:  Ship's Sensors, along with the Runabouts show deep contamination to the atmosphere, however the sensors are still unable to distinguish particulars........

CSO_Larek says:  OPS: Thank you sir.

OPS_Zax says:  ::prepares to leave the runabout::

CTO_Castillo says:  CO: there seems to be a nuclear winter syndrome forming and the temps are dropping on the planet nothing on the sun so far sir

CSO_Larek says:  ::opens the runabout door, shuts all systems down::

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles:: ALL: Nice job, gentlemen

EO_Harhn says:  OPS: Is there anything else sir, or should I report to ME?

CTO_Castillo says:  ::begins to scan the sun and compares the readings of both::

CMO_Varr says:  ::wonders briefly what job he actually performed::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  CTO: But what could be causing it?  Weapons test in the north?

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  CTO: It is unpopulated isn’t it?

OPS_Zax says:  EO: Report to ME, Ensign

CSO_Larek says:  ::exits the runabout heading for the bridge::

CMO_Varr says:  OPS: And if you have no further need of me, I will return to sickbay.

EO_Harhn says:  OPS: Aye sir, and thanks for the ride ::Grins as he walks away::

OPS_Zax says:  ::heads for the TL::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::leans against the bulkhead...thinking::

CTO_Castillo says:  CO: that was one hypothesis that I had before sir, yes they are. It would be the perfect place for testing or even placing radiation that would have long term affects on the planet as a whole.

OPS_Zax says:  ::nods at the CMO:: CMO: As you like

EO_Harhn says:  ::Enters TL:: TL: Deck 33

CMO_Varr says:  ::nods and head toward sickbay, taking the scenic route::

Host Ambassador says:  ::Stands:: CO: Captain, it seemed as if the plants began dying from the north to the south.......if that is any assistance?

CSO_Larek says:  ::exits the TL onto the bridge::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  CTO:  Will it be safe to send an AT to this area?  Scans aren't showing anything dangerous there at the moment are they?

OPS_Zax says:  ::follows Larek onto the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::shudders at the word AT::

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Lt. Larek reporting sir.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Exits TL and walks into ME::

CTO_Castillo says:  CO: I would send one with radiation suits and heavily armed just in case sir

MO_Daetalus says:  :: frantically starts putting things back where they were before the CMO’s departure::

XO_Wilkens says:  CSO: Excellent. To your station, please, and we need your immediate analysis of the situations as it stands.

OPS_Zax says:  ::walks over to the OPS console:: XO: I'll take over now, sir

CSO_Larek says:  ::goes to his station::

CTO_Castillo says:  CO: the Sun's readings are nominal at this point. I would also want to be apart of the AT to the northern region sir.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances up:: OPS: Right, Lieutenant. Just keeping the seat warm!

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::hears the Ambassador and remembers the non-standard elliptical orbit::

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles:: XO: Yes, Sir!

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances longingly at the OPS console before relinquishing it:: OPS: And welcome back. ::Smiles momentarily before turning around and sitting in his own chair::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Walks over to the CEO:: CEO: Reporting back from the AT, sir. I set up a link with the runabout, and that should give us all the information from the satellites so far

CTO_Castillo says:  Ambassador: Ambassador, if I may ask is there any records of a military base in the northern region by any chance?

Host Ambassador says:  ACTION:  Runabout Team Members Tricorders reveal that oxygen producing organisms are under attack.......and loosing

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::notices the CSO arrive::  CSO:  Mr. Larek, which part of the planet faces the sun, the equator?

CEO_Jamin says:  *CO*: Sir, permission to beam an atmospheric sample on board for 
analysis?

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Thank you, Sir ::slides into her seat::

CEO_Jamin says:  EO: I'm looking at that data now...

CEO_Jamin says:  EO: Go ahead and forward the link to the CSO.

CNS_Luchena says:  ::glad to see Zax back safely::

CMO_Varr says:  ::decides to look in on his 'pet'::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  *CEO*:  Get on it.   I want all precautions taken.  CSO: Mr. Larek, you go down there and help him.

EO_Harhn says:  CEO: Any thoughts yet sir?

Host Ambassador says:  CO:  To my knowledge Captain, the Northern Hemisphere has never been explored..........all of the population centers are in the southern ....I believe it has something to do with the planets orbit

CSO_Larek says:  ::checks planets position:: CO: Yes Captain.

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles at the CNS::

CEO_Jamin says:  EO: Set up a plasma container...with a level-10 field around it. We're getting a sample.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Moves to a console and links current data to science station on the bridge::

OPS_Zax says:  ::running a systems check::

EO_Harhn says:  CEO: Aye sir.

CTO_Castillo says:  ::scanning the northern region for radiation levels and any nuke testing as of late, also beacons or machinery::

CEO_Jamin says:  *TRANS ROOM*: We're going to beam a sample of the atmosphere into engineering. Here's the specs. ::transmits the pertinent data::

EO_Harhn says:  *CSO* Lt. I have linked your station into the current data stream

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  CSO: Center all scans on the northern hemisphere

CNS_Luchena says:  ::notices how busy everyone on the bridge is.  Feels a bit guilty just standing here::

CSO_Larek says:  *EO*: Acknowledged.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Begins setting up a containment, level 10, for an atmospheric sample::

Host Ambassador says:  ::Sits back down seeing the commotion that he began::

CSO_Larek says:  CO: Aye sir. ::concentrates scans on the northern hemisphere::

CEO_Jamin says:  ::finds a good location for a sample::

CEO_Jamin says:  EO: Ready?

EO_Harhn says:  CEO: Containment field ready, sir

CEO_Jamin says:  ::nods:: *TRANS ROOM*: Energize....

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Stands beside the SCI I station to observe their progress::

CEO_Jamin Sample beams into the container. (Transporter.wav)

EO_Harhn says:  ::Monitors containment field::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::sits back down in the chair... a loss for solutions::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Makes minor manual adjustment to containment::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::senses CO's frustration::

CEO_Jamin says:  *CO*: We've got the sample. I'll let you know if we find anything.

CTO_Castillo says:  CSO/CO: we know this but I am showing there is less oxygen in the 
north than the south

EO_Harhn says:  CEO: Sample is secure sir

CEO_Jamin says:  ::grabs a Tricorder and gets to work::'

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  Bridge:  There has to be some kind of a connection that we're missing here.

CTO_Castillo says:  CSO: is it possible that the oxygen could be being released off the planet?

Host Council says:  COM:  VF:  Captain Vn'dor, I have been alerted to some interesting findings by the Planetary Defense Command

CEO_Jamin says:  EO: Feed our sample data to the CSO also...

XO_Wilkens says:  CO: I feel the same, sir ::Frustratedly::

EO_Harhn says:  *CSO* Lt. We now have a sample of the atmosphere in containment. I will set up the data link

EO_Harhn says:  ::Moves to another console and feeds the data to the CSO::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  COMM: Council: Yes Mr. President... and what might that 
be sir?

CMO_Varr says:  ::walks into his quarters, and looks in on the rodent, who is peacefully sleeping in his enclosure.  Seeing nothing to do here, he decides to head toward Sickbay::

CSO_Larek says:  CTO: The problem is that the oxygen producing organisms are being destroyed.

OPS_Zax says:  ::taps console::

EO_Harhn says:  *CSO* You should be receiving that information now sir

CTO_Castillo says:  CSO: by what though, machine or natural causes?

CSO_Larek says:  *EO*: Thank you Ensign.

CEO_Jamin says:  ::scans the sample for artificial compounds, at the molecular level::

OPS_Zax says:  :: scanning comm. channels::

Host Council says:  COM: VF:  The Defense Command Expedition Forces have found a ........well what they think is an alien ship impact crater on the tip of the most northern continent, can you send your team there?

CNS_Luchena says:  *CMO*:  When our shift is finished, would you like to meet for a meal and continue our conversation?

CSO_Larek says:  CTO: Still undetermined.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Moves back and looks at the containment field readouts::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances up:: CO: Permission to lead the Away Team, should you choose to send one?

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  COMM: Council:  I'll have them there immediately sir.  ::looks to the XO to create his team::

OPS_Zax says:  ::looks up::

CMO_Varr says:  ::raises an eyebrow:: *CNS* That would be most welcome.  Where shall we meet?

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods:: CSO: You're with me.

EO_Harhn says:  CEO: Sir, maybe it would be useful if the doctor took at look at some of 
this data?

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  COMM: Council:  Could you forward us the coordinates sir?

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Yes sir  ::Follows the XO::

CNS_Luchena says:  *CMO*:  How about my quarters?

CEO_Jamin says:  EO: Good idea. Send it to him too. ::has an odd, queasy sensation in his gut::

Host Council says:  COM:VF:  I am having the location coordinates relayed to your transporter room directly

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Enters the TL::

CTO_Castillo says:  XO: sir may I?

CMO_Varr says:  ::the other eyebrow raises:: *CNS* I will be there shortly.

XO_Wilkens says:  CTO: Of course. *EO*: Mr. Harhn, meet us in the Transporter Rooms.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::nods at the image on screen::  CTO:  Scan that impact crater

EO_Harhn says:  *CMO* Doctor, we have a sample of the planets atmosphere and I thought maybe you might have some insights?

EO_Harhn says:  *XO* Aye sir

CTO_Castillo says:  ::scans the impact crater::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Links information to CMO’s terminal and leaves ME for the TR::

CTO_Castillo says:  XO: I'll meet you there in a few seconds sir.

XO_Wilkens says:  CTO: Make it snappy, Lieutenant.

CSO_Larek says:  ::stands beside the XO::

MO_Daetalus says:  :: notices blink on the CMO's desk::

MO_Daetalus says:  :: thinks nothing of it::

CTO_Castillo says:  *TO*: Mr. Tasker: make sure you equip the current AT with nothing short of Phaser rifles especially my own personal one meet you there in a few minutes

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  CNS:  Please fill in at the science station.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Enters the TR:: TR Chief: Determine the exact beam-down coordinates.

EO_Harhn says:  ::Enters TR::

MO_Daetalus says:  Self: wait, it might be important

EO_Harhn says:  XO: You wanted to see me sir?

MO_Daetalus says:  :: looks at the file sent to the console::

CTO_Castillo says:  CO: sir there is nothing but a whole in the ground there if there is a ship there it is not showing up on the sensors

XO_Wilkens says:  EO: I'm leading an Away Team to the planet's surface...

XO_Wilkens says:  EO:... And you're on it!

EO_Harhn says:  XO: Whats the job sir? ::Grinning::

CTO_Castillo says:  <Mr.Tasker> CTO: yes sir will do.

CSO_Larek says:  ::steps on the pad, checking for his Tricorder::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  CTO: No debris field what so ever!?  Odd.

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Grin:: EO: Thought you might want to come along. Get some sample kits.

XO_Wilkens says:  EO: Coordinate with the CSO.

Host Council says:  ACTION:  EO's scans of the contained atmosphere show contaminants, but nothing in Federation databanks.........

CTO_Castillo says:  CO: none picked up by sensors sir

EO_Harhn says:  XO: Aye sir, back in a minute

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  *XO*:  You had best arm yourselves gentleman

CMO_Varr says:  ::sighs:: *CNS* Counselor, I am afraid that I will have to postpone.  I have just been sent some data I need to report on.  Perhaps another time.

XO_Wilkens says:  EO: Quickly.

XO_Wilkens says:  *CO*: Any signs of hostility, sir?

CNS_Luchena says:  *CMO*:  Acknowledged

CTO_Castillo says:  CO: sir with your permission I leave to join the AT, and yes we will be well armed ::smiles at the CO::

XO_Wilkens says:  AT: Arm yourselves, gentlemen...

CEO_Jamin says:  ::finds one molecule of the contaminant, and starts decoding the atomic structure using the quantum mirroring microscope::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Moves to Engineering Support and grabs some sample kits. Quickly returning to the TR::

CSO_Larek says:  ::goes to retrieve a phaser::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::quickly exits the Bridge to the TR1::

XO_Wilkens says:  ALL: Are we all present? Lets finish those last minute equipment checks!

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  *XO*: None as yet Commander.  I just find it odd there is an impact crater without a wreckage of any kind.

OPS_Zax says:  ::taps panel::

CSO_Larek says:  XO: I am ready sir.

EO_Harhn says:  XO: Present and ready to go sir

CMO_Varr says:  ::turns back toward sickbay::

XO_Wilkens says:  *CO*: That is... Peculiar. ::Wistfully:: I wish we had more time to prepare... We are standing by to beam down.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  ::nods at the CTO::  CTO: And bring them back safe.  I will hold you responsible for them.

CNS_Luchena says:  ::sits at science station.  Presses some buttons::

EO_Harhn says:  ::Gets on transporter pad::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Tosses the CSO and EO Type II hand phasers::

CSO_Larek says:  ::takes the phaser::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::nods at the CO:: CO: not a problem sir

EO_Harhn says:  ::Attaches phaser to belt::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Clips his to the holster secured on his belt and selects a Type I reserve as well::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::having more strange idle thoughts::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  CNS: Alternate the science scans through the various spectrums.  See if you can detect anything beneath the surface of that impact crater.

CTO_Castillo says:  ::running to TR1 with his own personal favorite phaser rifle::

OPS_Zax says:  ::listening to the interchange::

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Checks the setting before holstering it as well::

CSO_Larek says:  ::stands on the pad::

CNS_Luchena says:  CO:  Aye sir.  ::punches more buttons::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::enters the TR:: XO: all aboard sir!

XO_Wilkens says:  CTO: Very well, assume your position. ::Steps onto the TR pad::

CTO_Castillo says:  AT: lock and load!

XO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods affirmatively to the CTO::

CTO_Castillo says:  ::steps on to the TR pad::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  *XO*: At your earliest convenience Mr. Wilkens...

XO_Wilkens says:  TR Chief: Energize!

CMO_Varr says:  ::enters sickbay, and sees Daetalus sitting behind his desk, pouring over the datafile::

OPS_Zax says:  ::looks at the CNS:: CNS: Okay?

CEO_Jamin says:  *CO*: Sir, the atmosphere has some sort of artificial compound in it.

MO_Daetalus says:  Self: oops

XO_Wilkens says:  @::Appears on the surface of the planet, merely disgruntled by the Captain's criticism::

EO_Harhn says:  @::Materializes and begins scanning with Tricorder::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::scanning crater::

CSO_Larek says:  @::materializes on the planet::

CMO_Varr says:  MO:  Is that the info the EO Harhn just sent over?

Host Council says:  ACTION:  Although the ships sensors are directed at the impact crater, nothing registers, not even mass

CTO_Castillo says:  @::beams down and is looking for anything suspicious::

XO_Wilkens says:  @CTO: Mr. Castillo, secure our position!

CSO_Larek says:  @::starts to scan with his Tricorder::

CTO_Castillo says:  @XO: yes sir.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  *CEO* Can you isolate it?

XO_Wilkens says:  @CSO/EO: Okay, what do we have here?

CNS_Luchena says:  CO:  Sensors indicate nothing at the crater, absolutely nothing.  Not even mass

EO_Harhn says:  @::Begins setting up sample containers::

CTO_Castillo says:  @::taking the lead and looking over making sure we are not in a trap, wonders off a ways to make sure that we are all safe::

XO_Wilkens says:  @COM: CO: Away Team here, sir, we'll be keeping a constant COM open through our badges, so you can monitor our progress.

CEO_Jamin says:  *CO*: Some osmium, titanium, tungsten...a bit of silicon. Some sort of strange metal alloy. Nothing in the database matches these proportions, though.

CNS_Luchena says:  ::rechecking sensor readings::

EO_Harhn says:  @XO: What are we here to collect sir

Host Council says:  ACTION:  The AT are now at the crater, they see black, jagged edged metallic shapes imbedded into the ground

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  COMM: XO: Please do Mr. Wilkens

CMO_Varr says:  ::moves to look over the MO's shoulder while awaiting an answer::

CSO_Larek says:  @::sees the metallic shapes, scans them::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::feels a pang of anxiety for the AT::

XO_Wilkens says:  @CSO: What are those metallic shapes composed of?

EO_Harhn says:  @::Scans the objects in the ground::

CSO_Larek says:  @XO: Scanning them now.

OPS_Zax says:  ::boosting signal::

CTO_Castillo says:  @*XO*: sir so far so good we seem to be at the crater and there is something metallic in it after all.

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  CNS:  How about alien rock?  Maybe it's an asteroid crater.

XO_Wilkens says:  @CTO: Understood.

MO_Daetalus says:  ::senses hostility from the CMO::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::scans alien rock::

Host Council says:  ACTION:  The Planetary Defense Forces setup an outer perimeter beyond the Federation Inner security

CTO_Castillo says:  @XO: permission to go in for a closer look sir?

EO_Harhn says:  @CSO: Do you suppose this could be comet fragments?

CNS_Luchena says:  ::scanning for alien rock::

XO_Wilkens says:  @CTO: Denied, for the time being... Lets get an idea as to what we're dealing with, first.

CSO_Larek says:  @EO: Possible, could be fragmentation from a vessel as well.

CTO_Castillo says:  @XO: acknowledged.

CEO_Jamin says:  ::finds a few compound in the database that are almost, vaguely similar::

XO_Wilkens says:  @::Kneels beside the CSO, now drawing his own Tricorder::

CSO_Larek says:  @::looks over the readings::

CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:  *CEO*: Acknowledged Commander.  Could these items be causing the depletion of the planet's atmosphere though?

Host Council says:  ACTION:  Closer examination reveals what appears to be control panels, junction boxes......alien in nature, never seen before

EO_Harhn says:  @XO/CSO: I am not reading any weapons or energy signature from this stuff

CEO_Jamin says:  *CO*: Hard to say. I don't know WHAT this stuff does. Nobody does.

CSO_Larek says:  @XO: These appear to be panels.

CTO_Castillo says:  @::Covering the XO with his phaser rifle ready for anything::

CNS_Luchena says:  ::scanning for abnormalities::

XO_Wilkens says:  @EO: Interesting... Are those junction boxes of some sort?

XO_Wilkens says:  @CSO/EO: Almost as if they are instrument panels...

CEO_Jamin says:  ::transmits the molecular weights information to the science station::

XO_Wilkens says:  @CSO: Still no sign of life in the vicinity?

MO_Daetalus says:  CMO: yes sir:: gets up to let CMO sit::

CSO_Larek says:  @XO: Agreed, I have never seen panels of this type before.

EO_Harhn says:  @::Looks closer at the objects::

CTO_Castillo says:  @XO: the funny thing is the metal never once registered at all on the 
ship's sensors.

CMO_Varr says:  ::accepted the seat:: MO: Have you been able to make anything of it yet?

CEO_Jamin says:  ::thinks there IS something strangely familiar about this substance::

XO_Wilkens says:  @CTO: Strange... They must somehow me shielded from our sensors::
