Dreams Lost pt 2
Guest Starring:
Jan as EO_Scully.
Tigs as Dathan

Host Karriaunna says:
Synopsis:  Arriving at the Tiona system, the crew sees two worlds once full of life, now nothing more then radioactive emitters, with lives slowly winking out by the masses.

Host Karriaunna says:
When questioned, the remaining anthropologists were clueless to what had happened.  Digging through the data that had been gathered, various crewmembers have found some anomalies, nothing much at a glance.

Host Karriaunna says:
The ship is now in route to the third inhabited world in this system.  One that has not really been studied as the federation was interested in the momentous flight that was to have occurred between the other two.  The planet is technologically around the 17th century.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Let's get the AT back first.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
@CSO: Good. Keep recording, in case this doesn't work.

FCO_DeRidder says:
::notices an incoming transmission::  OPS: Funny you should mention that.  A message is coming through.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::rejoins the XO and CSO after his frustrating and fruitless conversation with the old fart::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
@COMM: OPS: We've gathered about all we really can. Transport us back aboard.

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr Nick: I’ll be on the bridge, I should be back shortly ::finishes putting the med kits together and leaves sickbay with them::

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  I could get nothing more from the old guy.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COMM: XO:  Aye, Sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::initiates transport::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
@CNS: Can't say I'm surprised. You tried....

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::materializes and trots off the pad:: *OPS*: We're here, on my way up.

FCO_DeRidder says:
::punching in navigational references into the board::

CSO_Hull says:
::Ends the uplink to the ships sensors:: XO/CNS Well its good to be back

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders what he should do now::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged.

CNS_Luchena says:
CSO:  It certainly is.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: Indeed.

CMO_Shiar says:
::steps off the TL with kits and finds somewhere to sit::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO/CNS: Coming? ::trots off toward the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:
::follows the XO::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Set course to the third planet, Ensign.

CSO_Hull says:
::Follows behind the XO::

EO_Scully says:
::scans for radiation disturbances from the third planet::

FCO_DeRidder says:
OPS: Already plotted and laid in Ma'am.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::enters the lift, and waits for the others to enter:: TL: Bridge.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Then engage.

CSO_Hull says:
::Scoots by the XO::  XO:  By your leave ::heads for Sci 1::

EO_Scully says:
:: finds no radiation disturbances::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::fingers dancing lightly across the board:: OPS: Aye.  ::engages at full impulse::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods to the CSO as the doors swish shut::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  Commander, I have a message for you from the Captain, Sir.  We are to take the ship to the 3rd planet and possibly send an away team to the surface.

CNS_Luchena says:
::lost in thought::

TO_Choi says:
::Turns back to the secondary console and goes about various security reports::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::exits the lift and strides onto the bridge, noticing the captain is not there:: ALL: Report.

SO_Toms says:
::notes the arrival of the CSO:: CSO: Sir.

FCO_DeRidder says:
::scanning nav points::  XO: We are on course Commander; Full Impulse.  ETA 15 minute present speed.

CSO_Hull says:
::logs into Sci 1::  SO:  Status Report Mr. 

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  The Captain advises she is not feeling well and has gone to rest.  Also, I've discovered something in the comm logs that might be of interest.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: What is it?

CNS_Luchena says:
::listens to Jordan::

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Systems are functioning within limits. Nothing of major interest, sir. I tried to find traces in the weapons residue to see if it was done by foreign entities, and if we could trace them, but no luck. It appears that it was all made in system

TO_Choi says:
XO: Looking for a possible incursion point on the third planet, Commander..

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods to the FCO and TO in acknowledgement::

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: no injuries to crewmembers from our encounter with space. Ens. Smith had a headache and I believe someone else cut their finger, but I dealt with those... sir

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  In amongst all the traffic from the two planets I've picked up a third signal, one that did not originate from either of the planets.  I'm trying to determine its source now.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::raises an eyebrow, looking very Vulcan for a moment:: OPS: Interesting. Keep me updated. ::heads down into the center of the bridge::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods and goes back to her work:: XO:  Aye, Sir.

CSO_Hull says:
SO:  Interesting, from what I've seen there is nothing there that could cause the radiation.  Recalibrate the sensors, lets start looking for debris - possibly space born or even...a crashed space vessel

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: As soon as we're outside of their estimated sensor range, take us to yellow alert.

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices how Vulcan like Kerina is looking::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Alert me as soon as we're in position.

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: oh, I forgot Mr. Jones, he had a head cold, Dr Nick is working on it sir. sorry.

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Aye sir. ::starts work recalibrating the sensors::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Keep an eye out...but only use passive scans near those two worlds.

CSO_Hull says:
::Completes his log in and begins looking at the sensor log of the pass made by the Pendragon during their AT mission""

TO_Choi says:
XO: Understood..

FCO_DeRidder says:
OPS: Aye....  ::continuing to eyeball the course heading on forward scanners::

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices the CMO is there::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::has a seat, thinking that she's missing something obvious::

TO_Choi says:
::Checks his scans from the other console::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::thinks it's very strange that the third signal is in the same language as all the others....::

SO_Toms says:
::after the recalibration, does a scan but finds nothing:: CSO: Nothing there sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::walks over to the CMO and extends his hand::  CMO:  Dr. Shiar, I presume?

Dathan says:
@:: heads out the fields to start work for the day ::

CSO_Hull says:
SO:  Very well, start thinking of the impossible then, and scan for it

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: ah, Dr Luchena is it?

SO_Toms says:
::nods:: CSO: Aye sir

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Commander, this is strange.  The anomalous signal appears to be using the same language as those from the devastated planets.  It could very well be coming from that third planet.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Can you get a precise location?

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Please call me Mikal.  It's good to meet you at last.  Counselling and Medical Departments tend to work closely together.  ::smiles::

FCO_DeRidder says:
OPS/XO: Three minutes from orbit...   

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods to the FCO:: FCO: High orbit when we get there.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Still working on it, Sir.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: I’m surprised we haven't met sooner, Mikal.

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO: Yes Ma`am

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Get a copy of the lateral sensor data from the CSO. That may help you triangulate.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::furrows her brow upon hearing "ma'am"::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  As am I.  Perhaps we could share a meal once our shift is up?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  Can I get a copy of your lateral sensor data transferred to OPS?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::quickly unfurrows her brow realizing the silly habit she's apparently picked up from somebody::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::keys in a high polar orbit as the ship approaches the planet::

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO/OPS: Now entering polar orbit of the third planet.

Dathan says:
@:: begins to hoe the fields ::

CSO_Hull says:
OPS:  linking to your console now, should have it on your display

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: that'd be interesting. I hear you're quite the lady killer, I’ll need to get some tips off ya

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Good.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Activating Yellow Alert ::initiates yellow alert::

CMO_Shiar says:
::smiles::

TO_Choi says:
::Watches as his console blips, and the shields come to life::

CNS_Luchena says:
::blushes::  CMO:  Not true.  Not true.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods at OPS, figuring the alert could have been activated sooner::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
ALL: Let's stay sharp.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Anything interesting on the surface?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  Thank you.  ::uses the data to try to triangulate a position for that third signal::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders what they are supposed to stay sharp about::

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Commander, my sensor mission of the planet shows a pre-ice age environment, only small pockets of habitable areas.  Nothing on the planet could create the radiation levels encountered there

FCO_DeRidder says:
::starts making corrections in orbit::  

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: as long as you don't try and jump into my head, things are looking up

TO_Choi says:
::Looks to the XO and points to the main science console::

CNS_Luchena says:
::turns his attention back to the CMO::  CMO:  Why?  Something in there you're trying to hide?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I have the signal.  It has originated from the third planet, which is the 6th in the system.

Dathan says:
@:: reaches down to settle a seedling more firmly into the ground ::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::pulls up the navigational scans::  XO: I couldn't tell you how they got there either, never the less, they are there.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: no, just Romulan ::smiles again::

TO_Choi says:
XO: Nothing much from my point of view.. A few small settlements. That is about it... 

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Enough said.  ::grins::

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Commander, the society on the previous planet technology wise were in late 17th century comparable to Earth.  Farming, no technology to speak of....we are scanning them now..

EO_Scully says:
CSO: Scans indicate no offensive capabilities, as far as I can tell

CSO_Hull says:
EO:  Understood

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: I don't want to keep you from your work too long. nice meeting you and I hope to work closely with you again :: smiles warmly::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  I don't have much to do right now actually.  Did you say someone in sickbay has a headache?  Think maybe it’s psychological?

CMO_Shiar says:
::laughs:: CNS: I don't know about that. I put it down to too many drinks

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: That signal came from this planet...where, exactly?

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Ah... So you think this person may have a drinking problem?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I can't pinpoint that precisely, sir ... only that it came from this direction.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: yeah, he can't take it.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Try some pass filters...we need more precise information.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I've already tried that, Sir.  But I will try again.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods, unhappily::

Dathan says:
@:: finishes one row and starts on the next ::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: Any power signatures from the surface?

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Why would he engage in an activity that he can't handle?  Sounds to me like he might be psychologically disturbed.  What do you think?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::runs pass filters through again ...::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::still gets no precise information::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Commander, no luck.  The signal is just too weak to get a precise location.  All I can tell you is that it came from the direction of the 6th planet in the system.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at the viewscreen, pondering::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: I think we all think we can handle more than we can. I know from lots off experience. it doesn't help that I said I’d give 2 slips of latinum to someone who could drink me under the table.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Oh.  So it's you with the drinking problem.  ::grins hoping the CMO gets that he's kidding::

TO_Choi says:
::Turns to the junior officer beside him:: CPO_Tortilla: So, how are the shields coming along... Are you managing to keep them up to standard, Ensign?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Scan the atmosphere for ionic disturbances. If that signal came from the surface, there will be some suspicious ionization.

CMO_Shiar says:
::laughs::

TO_Choi says:
<CPO_Tortilla> TO: No sir... I just can' get it, Holmes

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: you'll have to have a go some time, although it shouldn't take me long to beat you. ::grins::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans for ionic disturbances::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::monitoring orbital path::

CNS_Luchena says:
::lowers his voice to a more intimate level::  CMO:  Actually, I'm an alcoholic.

CSO_Hull says:
SO:  Mr. Toms, begin conducting a full planetary survey

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: ah, I’m sorry. how long you been sober for?

TO_Choi says:
CPO: Hmmm.. Let me see... ::Taps in a few buttons on Tortilla's console::

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Aye sir. Also, sir, I have gotten into the sat net. I have some pictures here showing explosions around the worlds, but some of them are at the oddest places. ::begins the planetary scan::

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks for a minute::  CMO:  Nearly a year now.

TO_Choi says:
<CPO_Tortilla>TO : You see... I type in command into the viewer! But nuffin' comes out Mang'!!

Dathan says:
@:: wipes his brow and continues to hoe the rows ::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Anything?

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: good. anyway... :: loosens collar::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  No sir.  Continuing to scan.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Anyway what?

TO_Choi says:
CPO: Calm down, Ensign... Don't have to get so worked up about it..

EO_Scully says:
::wonders how a pre-industrial civilization would handle engineering::

CNS_Luchena says:
::for some strange reason is determined to chat up the CMO::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: what did you squeeze out of the team on the planet?

CNS_Luchena says:
::shrugs::  CMO:  Just a lot of regret and defensiveness.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: There has to be something...and energy signature, ionization, unusual radiation....something.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  There was a really attractive woman there though.

TO_Choi says:
<CPO_Tortilla>TO: I know mang'... My friends say I eat too many chocolate bar.. and I don' wipe my face...

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles as he recalls Katie::

EO_Scully says:
::scans for energy signature, ionization, and radiation::

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  We are conducting a full planetary survey scan at the moment Commander, there are no power sources on the surface

CMO_Shiar says:
:: leans in with interest:: CNS: really, tell me more.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: The signal came from here, there has to be something...

TO_Choi says:
CPO: Listen, take the shift off... schedule a session with Counselor Luchena..... Wipe your face.. Just take a day off...

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Any warp trails in the vicinity? Cooling plasma?

SO_Toms says:
::scan finishes:: CSO: Sir, the results of the scan are available. I’m picking up small settlements over geothermal vents, and I’ve noticed that many of the inhabitants wear animal skin clothing.

TO_Choi says:
::Turns to the command arc as he hears the XO's voice::

CSO_Hull says:
CSO: Scan the geothermal vents to their source

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Also, it seems that we can’t go very deep into the planet with our scanners. Something is blocking them.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  She was beautiful and intelligent.  I think she might have been homosexual though.  ::looks sad about that::

TO_Choi says:
XO: No.. No Ma'am... Not picking up a thing... 

FCO_DeRidder says:
::swings around::  XO: I know that it would be difficult to rig up, but how about we enact a remitting polaron scan of the planet's surface.  Something similar to what we use on the navigational scans when scanning for gravity wells.....   If there is any energy residue down there at all, that scan should pick it up.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::feels like growling::

EO_Scully says:
XO: I am picking up traces of very old radiation.  It's not natural.  Also, traces of ionization and an energy signature.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
EO: Hellloo...patch that over to the science station.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: and that's a problem because... ::grins:: is this healthy?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans for debris or any sign of a crashed vessel::

TO_Choi says:
<CPO_Tortilla> TO: Thank you Holmes!! Maybe I can hook you u----- ::TO Cuts the CPO off::

EO_Scully says:
::transmits date to science::

TO_Choi says:
CPO: That will be enough, thank you...

SO_Toms says:
CSO: I cant, sir. It’s blocked

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  I guess that's no problem considering she is on the moon and we are not.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: I'll keep that suggestion in mind, ensign.

CSO_Hull says:
SO: Change the sensor frequency and gain

Dathan says:
@:: pulls out his waterskin and takes a drink ::

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Aye sir. ::adjusts the sensors, rotating through different settings::

EO_Scully says:
::analyzes radiation for comparisons with known sources of radiation::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::swings back around in chair facing the helm::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Commander, I'm picking up traces of ancient cities, buried deep under the ice.  It seems there was another civilization down there at some stage.

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Commander, interestingly enough, our scans cannot penetrate much farther below the surface, something is blocking our scans 

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: Something?

TO_Choi says:
::Shakes his head at the obvious inexperience of Petty Officer Carlos Tortilla::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: I’ll have to go down and meet this woman at some point.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Coordinate with the science station...I want a tunneling sensor beam in there.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Think you can change her mind?

CSO_Hull says:
CSO:  "Something"  It is neither metallic nor energy based...I have never seen such interference

EO_Scully says:
::scans for shield::

TO_Choi says:
Self: I think I had better make note of him... ::Taps it into his reminders section::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: Any population in that area?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sends the scans to Science::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: trust me, I’m a doctor.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  Lt, sending scans of sub-surface cities to your station.  They might be the source of your readings.

SO_Toms says:
CSO: There is a large area around the inhabited area that can’t be scanned, even with the changed settings.

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Sparsely populated, mostly around the vents, for obvious reasons I would imagine

EO_Scully says:
CSO: Not naturally occurring, either.

CNS_Luchena says:
::chuckles::  CMO:  So ummm... just how would you go about this?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: Can you find a spot where we could drill without witnesses?

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Scanning!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::runs scans again to see if these cities were somehow the source of her mysterious signal::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: one look at me should do it. ::smiles:: nah, I have my methods.

Dathan says:
@:: caps his waterskin and goes back to hoeing ::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  You must tell me.  ::leans closer to better hear::

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Commander, there is an area that is in a valley in between two population centers, blocked by mountainous terrain, however, they will see the phaser filament

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles:: CSO: Will they, now?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: The deflector can work with almost any spectra, can't it?

CSO_Hull says:
XO::Looks over his shoulder at the XO::  Yes - they will

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: you've got to be smooth and charming... kinda like James Bond actually

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir! Look at this! ::brings up the scans of the cities again::

TO_Choi says:
XO: I'm picking up something here.. It appears to be an energy surge.. I can track it to a mountain on the surface... Too many caves to figure out the exact point...

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Who is James Bond?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: What? ::heads over to look::

TO_Choi says:
::Turns to his console ::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::hears the TO:: OPS: Red alert!

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  ::REB::  Interesting notion Commander, I didn’t know science was your forte

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::initiates Red Alert, claxons and all::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CSO: I was the Chief Science Officer before you, you know.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Report!

TO_Choi says:
XO: Wait... it's gone..

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders what the read alert is all about and looks around::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::goes ahead and growls a bit, which makes her feel better::

TO_Choi says:
XO: A brief surge of energy.. Coming from one of the planet's mountains..

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  ::Grins::  Yes Commander, changing the deflector array configuration

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  These cities, Sir.  The radiation the EO picks up would fit what I'm seeing here.  These cities look like they were the victim of some massive catastrophe or disaster.

CMO_Shiar says:
::looks up at the red alert.:: CNS: looks like we'll have to exchange tips later

CNS_Luchena says:
::experiences as shiver of delight as Kerina growls::

CEO_Gagne says:
::Runs out of his office hearing the sirens go off::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::loads up evasive navigational patterns and prepares a preset to break orbit according to alert protocol::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Over dinner then.  ::walks away and takes his seat::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: Configure the deflector to fire a tight microwave pulse. We'll drill with that, and they won't see it.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Keep an eye on that.

TO_Choi says:
XO: Yes Ma'am.. I'm fixed on it right now..

EO_Scully says:
*CEO* We are picking up an energy surge, Sir.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Goes to the nearest panel and frantically taps it:: *EO*: Where?

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Configuring the deflector array, firing in 5...4....3....2....1....

EO_Scully says:
*CEO* Coming from the planet's mountains.

EO_Scully says:
*CEO* The CSO is reconfiguring our deflector dish

TO_Choi says:
::Frantically taps, trying to identify the abrupt power surge..::

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  I'm picking up an energy signature from the surface, where the interference is the strongest...it appears to have cloaking signature!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, there was an advanced civilization here once.  From scans collected it appears they were close to achieving warp drive.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The beam breaks through the rock to an energy source below.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: Oh now THAT's interesting.

CSO_Hull says:
XO: It is showing great blocking properties

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: Does it look mobile, or fixed?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Warp, huh? Curiouser and curiouser.

EO_Scully says:
::picks up energy source below the rock::

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Fixed

CEO_Gagne says:
*EO*: Aye. *CSO*: What is the composite of the Rock face?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO/OPS: NOW I'll bet you two can get some decent scans.

EO_Scully says:
::transmits data on energy source to CEO is ME::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Scanning.

CSO_Hull says:
*CEO*:  granite based

CSO_Hull says:
SO:  Mr. Toms update your sensor survey

TO_Choi says:
XO: Wait.. I'm picking up the surge again, Commander

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Can you get more information this time?

CEO_Gagne says:
*CSO*: Hm.... Granite interesting.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Reading evidence of cities all over the planet, Sir.  It seems they were all destroyed by something large.  There are only villages where these cities once stood.

SO_Toms says:
::looking through scan results, finds something of interest:: CSO: Sir, the scan suggests that the planet has sifted its tilt, just a fraction, but enough to throw it into this ice age.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Anything more specific? "Large" could mean a lot of things.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  A beam of energy shoots out from the planet, striking the ships shields, rocking the ship.  Systems flicker and go offline briefly until back up comes on.

CSO_Hull says:
SO:  Shifted?  Those craters have anything to do with it?

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the lights flicker and wonders what that was all about::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
SO/CSO:  I'm reading the same thing.  Like a large explosion shifted the planet's axis just enough to wipe out everything.

CSO_Hull says:
::falls to the deck::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::stumbles to the floor:: TO: Lock on to the source of that beam!

EO_Scully says:
*CEO* an energy beam from the planet has struck our shields.

TO_Choi says:
XO: Aye, I have a lock

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hangs onto her console and barely manages to keep her seat::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: falls to the floor, but hey I’m a doctor::

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Possibly sir. I look further into it. ::Focusing the scan as the beam hits::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Fire the deflector at it...try to disable it, but no phasers!

CEO_Gagne says:
::Falls out of his chair:: *EO*: Standby.... ::Stumbles back into his chair::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::fingers fly across board trying to maintain orbit:: 

EO_Scully says:
::works on stabilizing ship's systems::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: How are the shields holding? ::climbs back into the chair::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Another beam strikes out, hitting the ship.  Shields go down to %50.

CSO_Hull says:
::stands and shakes his head::

CMO_Shiar says:
ALL: anybody hurt :: expects no reply::

TO_Choi says:
XO: I'm trying.. an EM Pulse on a high frequency..

EO_Scully says:
XO: Shields at 50%.

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  I would recommend putting that beam out of commission

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hangs on again::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
EO: Batteries to the shields.

EO_Scully says:
CSO: Or backing off.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Turn us toward the planet....give it our forward shield.

TO_Choi says:
::Watches as Tortilla comes scrambling back onto the bridge::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::watches as the helm flickers a bit::  

EO_Scully says:
::sparks fly off the panel.  Scully merely brushes them away and goes on with her work.::

TO_Choi says:
XO: Commander!! I'm reading another surge... This one is ... aimed directly at us..

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  A third beam aims at the ship, glancing off the bow, shaking the ship.

FCO_DeRidder says:
::keys in command::  XO: Aye sir...  But are you sure that's such a great idea?  

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Back us off, full impulse.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Falls off his chair again:: *EO*: What in blazes is going on?!?

CNS_Luchena says:
::braces himself::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Re-routing power to shields.  ::fingers flying across her console::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::breaks orbit at full impulse::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
EO: Patch in auxiliary too.

EO_Scully says:
*CEO* We are moving away.  Sir, it will give us some time to put ship's systems back in order.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Take us back to the moon.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: I’ll be in sickbay if needed

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at the CMO::

CMO_Shiar says:
::steps onto TL::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO/OPS: You've got a little time to go over what sensor data you managed to get.

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Sir, I believe that this planet was destroyed in a similar way to the other two in the system.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO/OPS: I want a report in two hours.

EO_Scully says:
XO: Auxiliary, Aye.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Shields stabilizing, but only at 72%, Sir.

CSO_Hull says:
SO:  It is beginning to look like that, make a comparison to the collected data of both planets

EO_Scully says:
XO: Compensating ::fingers racing over panel::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: That should do for now.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods::

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO: Aye...   Stand by...  Helm sub processor took a light hit...   ::swings the ship around 180 degrees and looks over at the drive status monitor::  XO:  The moon is about as far as we are going to be able to get commander.  Warp Drive is offline.  

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick>*CMO*: we need you down here, now sir

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Aye

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Red?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: What's going on down there?

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Aye sir, making comparison.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::moves over to the Science Station::

EO_Scully says:
*CEO* FCO reports that warp drive is off line.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Taps his control panel, and shakes his head looking around at the blown consoles and smoking conduits.:: *XO*: Um... Sir, You don't want to know......

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  So what do we have?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: I believe I asked for a reason, Chief.

FCO_DeRidder says:
::checking sensors::  XO: Approaching the moon Commander.  Awaiting orders

CSO_Hull says:
OPS: Replaying the sensor log on that beam that hit us, that is our best evidence of origin...take a few minutes to run it through the computer

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Resume silent running and previous orbit.

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO: Back to the planet Commander?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: The moon, ensign...as I ordered.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CSO:  And with evidence of an advanced civilization destroyed abruptly ... I think we may have found our cause for what happened to those two planets.

CEO_Gagne says:
*XO*: We got some fused system.  Warp Power is offline, Impulse is at 50%, Shields are being pieced by power from other systems.  Life Support is online for the time being.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Once we're clear of the sixth planet, reduce us to yellow.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  What do you think, some kind of weapon?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: How long to repair warp?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye Sir.

TO_Choi says:
::Monitors shield strength::

CSO_Hull says:
OPS:  It would not be scientific deduction if I would make a guess

EO_Scully says:
TO: Weapons status?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  Maybe not, but an educated guess is better than no data at all.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Grabs his kit and heads to a jefferies tube:: *XO*: Don't know until I check it out.  I say an hour, or two.  Give or take 20 Minutes.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: I'm feeling generous...you have two hours.

TO_Choi says:
EO: Offline...

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO: Aye.   Turning into high lunar orbit at the pole.  Reducing Impulse power and rigging for silent running.  

TO_Choi says:
EO: Should be up and running in the next thirty minutes..

CSO_Hull says:
OPS:  I will need more data, before I hazard a guess ::grins, thinks of a famous Vulcan who said that before he did::

CMO_Shiar says:
::steps off TL and into sickbay::

EO_Scully says:
TO: So we can't defend ourselves, should we need to? ::shudders::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  I'm reading some kind of metallic substance at the top of the mountain, it could be a weapon.  It seems to be coming from the area we couldn't scan before.

TO_Choi says:
EO: That is a great big negative..

CEO_Gagne says:
*XO*: Aye.

SO_Toms says:
CSO: The planets have similar mineral compositions, although there is traces of things only found on the third planet that are found on the others. Also it looks as though the third planet had a major nuclear war eons ago.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::reduces status to yellow alert::
