Captain's Log - SD 10406.05

The Pendragon is knee deep in questions of its own, yet two very similar mysteries lie directly at hand.  An Away Team has begun a search on the surface for a faint distress signal and another is preparing to board the Dominion vessel.

There have been a number of mysteries amongst the crew as well.  Several appear to have gone missing and some new faces seemingly have appeared upon exiting the wormhole.  More strangely... I cannot locate the Command Staff anywhere....

*CO*: I’ve put a team together sir

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@::moves in the last known direction of the signal::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: Doctor.... we appear to have had an incident.  Forensics have been collected.... but I would like an autopsy.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hesitates again and watches the CEO::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO: Maybe we should contact the ship and see if the disturbances have ceased as well

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
EMH: Make sure you run a full plasma, electrolyte balance, I want to know everything in the biochemical makeup.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*CTO* Very good.  Secure the vessel and place it into high orbit.  Contact me once completed or if status changes.  Rofax out.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Bridge to Captain.  Sir we've lost the distress signal ... it just stopped ...

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::looks over the body:: CO: Indeed, what happened.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COM: CSO:  Go ahead, Lt.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::exits quarters and heads for the transporter room::

Action: The Away Team sees nothing but purple grass.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
CNS: Okay. You wouldn't happen to have any Engineering training, would you? I need every hand I can get.

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
OPS: are we close enough to beam a team to the Dominion vessel?

Action: The Away Team hears nothing but silence.

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
@TO: Aye ::Looks around carefull to spot anything looking at tricorder for any thing in movement beyond eye sight as well ::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO/TO: This grass::scans: It's life, but odd...it can't carry out photosynthesis as we know it::shurgs and carries onward::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*OPS* Due to loss of power source or because it was cancelled?  Please relay this to the Away Team and begin full scan of the subterranean structure.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::enters the transporter room::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::draws some cerebro-spinal fluid from the body::

Action: There is no fauna apparent. No insects, no sounds except for the wind.

::feels a strong sense of urgency::  CEO:  No.  I'm sorry.  ::turns and walks out of ME::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@COMM: Pen: OPS: Just checking in ma'am. We are pursuing the last known point of origin of the signal, as well as conducting a quick survey of the area. Anything new on what’s going on up there?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: shrugs ::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@::nods as if he understands to the EO::

Action: Kymar realizes he forgot his weapon.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CTO*:  We are within transporter range.  Prepare for beam over.

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
:: orders the team to TR1 and enters a TL::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
TL: TR1

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: As far as I can gather.... the Doctor's brain.... what was the word....  "melted."  I have asked for anyone present to be debriefed, but all witnesses appear to have wandered off.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::standing at the console, verifying the beamdown coordinates::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: CSO:  Lt, we have lost the distress signal.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters the transporter room::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@COMM: Pen: OPS: Very well. Send anything down to us that may be of help please. AT out.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
<edit - move mine down to after the others get there::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@TO: Anything on your tricorder? I'm getting nada.

Action: In front of Team One is a large, golden crystalline structure imbedded in the ground. It is multifaceted and gleaming.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
Nurse Kelly: Run all the fluids through the analyzer, look for anything out of the ordinary.:: Grabs the laser scalpel::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps up onto the pad::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stops and stares at the XO::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
<Nurse Kelly>::nods with a grin and goes to work::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CNS: What?

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
@EO: Nothing here either .

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO/TO/TO2: I'd say we've found what we're looking for

Action: Commander Dremel activates the transporter.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  You want to leave.  Good bye

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::turns to an nearby Sci crewman and gets her to set up an uplink to the Pen with all the data they are gathering::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@EO: Not yet, but, what do we have here? ::starts scanning the crystaly thingy::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::steps back a step and allows the EMH to assist::   *XO*  Go ahead whenyou are ready,

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the XO dematerialize::

CMO_Carter says:
::starts his Y incision on the chest and thorax::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::thinks of old commanders::

Action: The transporter sparkles and hums, Dremel briefly reappears upon the pad….   And on the planet…
Commander Irvin appears

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@::scans to see if it is the mechanism that created the signal::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::looking at the golden thingy, nodding:: EO: Either that or they really liked they're crystal art down here. Lets get as many details out of this as possible.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
CO: We know the brain has suffered some kind of meltdown, now we'll see what else is going on.

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
@:: keeps back on his team and faces out guarding while they work ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Good to see you again Sir.  ::begins to have a lucid moment::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO: Agreed

Action: Team 2 appears on the bridge of the Dominion Cruiser, surrounded by dead bodies.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: finishes chips, takes them to the diagnostics panel ::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: Doctor, I cannot say this sounds possible or even logical.  I will leave you to your work and when you have anything to go on, please contact me.

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#Alpha team: go to engineering and secure it.   Beta team: secure the bridge

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#:: starts checking the bodies for survivors::

Action: The EO's scan just bounces back.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
CO: Aye Captain, the fluid results will take some time.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::presses some buttons on her console ::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: Very good.... I am head for the battle bridge.

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@TO2: Anything? ::feeling suspicious::

Action: The EO notices there are some symbols on the crystal's surface.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels overwhelmingly confused::  *CO*:  Commander Irvin has arrived.

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
@ TO : Not that i can see or scan .

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO: All I'm getting is a reflection bounced back at me....hey what are these symbols?

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::finishes his incision revealing the organs, cuts through the rib cage to reveal the lungs and heart::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Compare any emissions with those that emanated from the crystals from the first away mission.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::turns on his heal on exits Sickbay, but pauses directly in the path of the doors at the sound of the Comm::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@::examines the symbols with intrest::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO: There are no emmisons...I can't get any kind of reading at all, it defracts all attempts to scan it.::looks over the symbols:: Possibly these are the source of the confusion...::plays with the symbols randomly::

Action: The symbols briefly glow, but nothings happens.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: replaces the last chip and fires up the diagnostics net ::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::looks around::  Outloud: Uhhhh....   Where the....   But....   I was JUST giving a lecture.....

::steps off the TL and onto Deck 5::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::joins another crewman in a TL::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO/TO/XO: There must be  a sequence:: studies the symbols::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
C: Computer: Report status of diagnostics network.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::looks at the EO, shakes head:: EO: Be careful there Ensign. Ive had bad experiences with people randomly playing with buttons

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@All: Sequence?  Where the heck am I?

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@CSO/EO: You know, what if this is some part of life support? Power, water, food even?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices the crewman is glaring at him suspiciously::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::laying on one of the few remaining intact bio-beds staring at the celing still trying to figure out what happened.::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::enters the battle bridge::  OPS: Status report....

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#TO2: check the bodies  COMM: OPS: Could you get the CMO and CEO over here please?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@::carefully inspects the rank insignia on each person, not knowing their names::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::looks at the new voice:: XO: Who’s that?

EO_Ens_Damien says:
:stands back:: CSO/TO: The go for it. I just fix things ::grins::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feeling angry, steps off the TL.  Doesn't notice the dead crewman as he steps over him::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@CSO: Commander Elisha Irvin..  USS Huron....   I was JUST at Starfleet Corps of Engineers giving a lecture....

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
# CTO: Aye Sir . :: begins checking for any life signs amongst the Bodies and or causes of death out of the ordinary ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::hears the CO:: CO:  Both teams now deployed, Sir.  Nothing unusual to report, except the cessation of the distress signal ...

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Hold a minute.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters the battle bridge::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@:CSO: I'm waiting::looks at the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@CSO: Where are we Lieutenant?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Any luck penetrating the surface with scans?  ::crosses to an open station and begin running scans::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@::turns around:: XO: Uh... well, now you are on a planet.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@XO: Lt Edward Toms, USS Pendragon, and I’m sorry to say sir, that you are in the Beta Quadrant sir.

<Computer>: Damage minimal in the seriotopic relay.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks around the small room::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  No Sir.  I'll try again.  ::tries to scan the sub-terrainean areas::

<Computer>: All other areas are now nominal.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::turns to Jordan as she speaks::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: nods in satisfaction ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees her back::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#COMM: OPS: I say again, I need the CEO and CMO over here

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@All: I need a beer.....

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#:: checks some of the bodies before trying to check internal sensors::

Action: TO2's scan shows hey have all been dead for a minimum of one standard week.  Immediate cause of death: Unknown.

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@XO: Well, if you can get to the Pendragon, I think they serve them.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks toward the CO::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks around the disserted battered sickbay and tries to figure out how he got there::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: CTO:  Stand by.  CO:  Sir, communication from Away Team 2.  LtCmdr Shiar is requesting the CEO and CMO join him on the dominion vessel.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@TO: Don't tell me we're stuck here too.....

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@XO: Get in touch with the ship, should be able to help you more sir. We've got a job to do.

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#:: checks in on the team in engineering::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: If the vessel is secured....  Very well.  Have them report to TR2 and beam them over.  They have two minutes or you can site-to-site them....

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@XO: No, you're not. Talk to our OPS. She'll get ya up there in no time.

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
#CTO : Only thing i can see sir  is there dead and been that way for about a week :: covers his mouth slightly to protect from the smell ::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
@CSO: Right....  ::sigh::  Carry on Lieutenant....   ::taps comm badge::  *Pendragon* Irvin to Pendragon.....

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@CSO: What do you think?

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#COMM: OPS: I have secured the bridge and a second team has secured engineering. All hands are dead.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::notice Mikal looking his way::  CNS: Mikal?  Something amiss?   ::steps away from the console and turns to face the CNS::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::stands up and looks at his hands, something has dried on them, the substance is a mystery, as is how it got there::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain!  I'm receiving a hail from ... ::checks it again:: an officer named Irvin!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain.  ::looks at Rofax and feels nothing::  Something strange.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CNS: It's the Beta Quadrant.....  ::turns to OPS::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Irvin?

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@:: nods to the XO:: TO: Many things Ensign, but none that would make any sense right now. Lets get back to what we were doing. ::turns back to the crystal thingy::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is able to think clearly for a moment::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@CSO: I meant about the crystal...

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Bridge to Lt Thraxis.  Prepare to beam over to the Dominion vessel.

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
<Edit out the smell part in last >

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: Irvin:  This is the Pendragon.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
*Pendragon* USS Pendragon... This is Commander Elisha Irvin calling from the surface of some planet...  I believe I just met your Chief Science Officer...  Request immediate beam up...

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#TO2: as long as they stay dead we have no problem

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Irvin? ::recalls thinking about him just as the XO materialized::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
~~~ ::lends a thought to the CNS, wondering why he seems off::  ~~~

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks around again and dose a quick inventory of his self.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::puts that on load speaker so the CO can hear it::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Thraxis to Bridge. Ship's systems are still severely compromised. Is this absolutely necessary?

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO/TO: There must be a pattern of sorts

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Shall I beam him to the bridge, Sir?

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
# :: looks at the CTO with a smile :: CTO: I’m sure we wont have a problem there .

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::looks incredulous::  OPS: By all means.....  please do....

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Yes it is, Lt. Get yourself over to that ship.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::experiencing a horrifying awareness::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::doesn’t feel like anything is broken...well except for the sickbay::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@CSO/EO: What do you think it could be for?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.   ::beams the XO directly to the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Beam the CEO over.... now....

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::materializes on the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks around::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Very well, Bridge.   :: sighs, grabs an engineering kit and outfits himself into an EVA suit ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#:: moves a body with his boot and attempts to log onto helm control::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::Beams the CEO over to the Dominion vessel::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Okay here’s what I want. I want you to catalog the symbols, top to bottom, left to right, starting from here ::points:: then I want you to see if you cant find some pattern to what we have here.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
All: Ok...  Let's say for a minute that I'm NOT hallucinating..... 

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@::shakes head:: CSO/EO: Not really my field, deciphering ancient languages

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Also.... see if you can locate the FCO and have him head over.  That vessel needs to be put into orbit.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::smiles:: XO:  Welcome to the USS Pendragon ...

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO: But I will try

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Good to see you again Sir.  ::quickly exits the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks around the small battle bridge::

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
#CTO : Should I do what I can and move the rest of the bodies , or what’s our plans for this ship ?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Is it really possible?  ::looks over a very familiar face::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*FCO*:  Bridge to Ensign White.  Prepare to away team duty.

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@::logs the symbols:

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@TO: I want you to set up a perimeter around this thing. I’m going to get some teams out looking at the surrounding area. I want escorts for them.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks to the Captain::  CO: Pindari?  

FCO_Ens_White says:
::exits the sickbay and looks around than looks at his combadge::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@CSO: You got it. How many teams?

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#TO2: if you could clear the bodies from the bridge it would be useful

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters a TL::  TL:  Deck 7

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Don’t worry, just see if you cant find a pattern to it please.

Action: The planetary distress call activates once again, briefly.

FCO_Ens_White says:
*OPS*huh...oh of course...whatever you want ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Afraid so.... ::grins::  Good to see you old friend.  ::extends a hand::  Welcome back.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@TO: Probably just 2 at the moment.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, I just got the distress signal .... no it's gone again ...

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CO: Please... I have had my fair share already today..... but if you must...

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: How did I get transported 27,000 light years in the blink of an eye?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: CTO:  Pendragon to Shiar.  Kaleh, the Captain is sending the FCO over ...

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@::yells to a couple TOs to make a perimeter:: CSO: Consider it done, then. ::provides escorts for the Science Teams.::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::walks to the nearest transporter room and looks around again::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::turns to the assembled team members and marks off two teams to scout the local area, looking for anything else that may be helpful to the ship and the situation::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#COMM: OPS: right.

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
# :: begins grabbing the bodies one at a time dragging them into the corridor ::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Have you been able to pinpoint?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*FCO*:  You're going to the Dominion Ship, Ensign.  The Captain wants you there to stablize the ship's orbit.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# CTO: Commander... what can I do to help?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  No Sir.  Same as before ... only a general location

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::over hears OPS::  All: DOMINION?!?

FCO_Ens_White says:
*OPS*oh...sure.  shouldn't be a problem...hopefully.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@Self: Maybe there is a on switch, or button, maybe? ::moves around looking for a button or switch::

EO_Ens_Damien says:

#::looks at the datapadd and puts it away than shrugs and looks around::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Noted.  Please contact me once all is clear.

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
#:: Dragging the last body off the bridge he enters back in :: CTO: should i see about getting life support up to get out of these suits might make our job a little easier ?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::checks the location:: CO:  Aft, Sir.  Near Engineering.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Good work Ensign. I’m going to call this in then we might have us a play ::smiles::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#FCO: now that you're here, help the CEO get this thing going

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO: Worth a shot

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I've dispatched security to secure the scene, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::in a surprised tone::  CO: Aye....   ::heads towards turbolift::  Man... This place hasn't changed much.....  

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::enters the lift and heads to sickbay::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#TO2: no, i need you to help try to figure out what happened here

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands and stares at the box::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
COMM: Pen: OPS: AT To Pendragon. We have recently discovered a strange crystal formation that defies scanning. With study we have found a pattern of symbols that appear to do something. We will proceed with caution.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Good.  Lock down the area and run a bio-spectral scan of the area.  I need to know who has been in that area within the last few minutes.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: turns to Shiar :: CTO: Commander, it looks like there is a serious flaw in their antimatter injectors, and the plasma vents are polarized. I'm heading down to their engineering section to have a look at those injectors, first.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::enters sickbay::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: CSO:  Acknowledged.  Continue check-in every 20 minutes.

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#CEO: ok. check in with the team before you start working

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
#CTO: aye sir :: begins running scans and looking for anything unusual on the bridge that explain what happened ::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@COMM: Pen: OPS: Aye ma'am. AT out.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# CTO: Aye, sir.  :: leaves the bridge ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#:: lets the team know the CEO is coming before returning to trying to access the logs::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, the AT on the planet may have found something.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks around at all the activity in sickbay::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: The source?  Any signs of survivors?

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Seeing as you discovered the pattern, you can have the honors of punching it in please Ensign. ::turns to the TO:: TO: Keep an eye out for anything weird please.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<EMH>::finishes his autopsy::  XO:  State the nature of the medical emergency?

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::looks at the other team members than walks over to the console he assumes is the helm station::

Action: The box begins to glow.

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@CSO: Aye!

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  It's possible.  They found what appears to be a crystalline structure with symbols on it.  Scans of the object have been ineffective to date.  Lt Toms reports they are proceeding with caution ...

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
EMH: I was just transported over 27,000 from Earth to the planet below...  I figured that it was prudent to have a quick check up...

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#FCO: once things are on line take us into orbit

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels an urge to pick it up again::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#:: keeps trying to access the logs::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@:;tentatively:: CSO: Aye Sir ::punched in what he thinks is the correct order of symbols::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#CTO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Can the Pendragon's sensors penetrate the structure?  Offer them any assistance?

Action: It is glowing so brightly that the room is engulfed in a bright, white flame of light.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<EMH>::runs a medical tricorder over the XO::  XO:  Your fine, except for a slight rash.  Would you like an analegesic cream?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: arrives in the Dominion vessel's engineering bay, begins checking that all safeties are on in the injector conduit ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  We still can't scan the inside of the cavern they are in, Sir.  I could try to boost sensors ... ::does so::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#TO2: try access the sensor logs, there may be some clues in there

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::raises an eyebrow::  EMH: No...  I'll just scratch it thank you....   I'll... uhhh... Be on the bridge.....

Action: Team 1 notices the crystal begins to glow a bright PURPLE and slides away, revealing a set on crystal stairs leading straight down...into darkness.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: If you must, reconfigure the Deflector Dish as well.... we need to make sure there are no surprises down there.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO* How we looking?

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
# :: Goes over to the dominion science station and begines to atept to bring up the logs ::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# opens the access panel in the conduit, and carefully slides inside

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<EMH>XO:  As you wish.  ::returns to work::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Yes Sir, but that's going to take some time to do.

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@::gulps:: CSO/TO: I think that was it

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::looks at the stairs down:: ALL: Ok, this is what I was looking for in the first place.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Good work EO

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::begins looking at the console he assumes is the helm trying to figure it out which button handles the thrusters::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *FCO*: Nasty. The whole antimatter injector assembly will have to be replaced. Access their databanks, see if you can find out where the engineering spares are kept.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::exits and heads back towards the bridge, tapping com badge::  *CO* Irvin to Rofax...  That has to have been the quickest check in of my life....

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#:: tries a new approach to access the ship's logs::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *FCO*: I'm going to start taking this mess apart.

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@::claps:: EO: And you said you weren't good at deciphering other... languages.. or thingies..

Action: Mikal Luchena and the box disappear.

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@::tremorous:: CSO: Thank ..you

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::begins reconfiguring the deflector array to match sensors to boost sensor efficiency::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::disappears::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@TO: Get ready to go in there please. I’m going to leave half of what’s left here behind so that they can stay in contact with the Pendragon. We are going in.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Just a thought.  Transport down several relay beacons and have the Team position the accordingly.  I do not want any further surprises....

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  COMM: CSO:  Pendragon to Lt Toms.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::enters the bridge::

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
# :: looks for a few different ways to reset the Console to get it to activate ::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@CSO: You got it. ::begins gathering a couple men to go down::

Action: The CTO is able to access the ship's logs. They are encrypted.

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@::looks to the TO to lead, then follows::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks over to the aft Mission Ops console to look at what is going on::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::turns to the senior Chief and leaves instructions on what to do with the rest of the people and the symbols should they get stuck, then prepares the last couple of members to go down::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Good to see they didn't dissect you.  I was having my doubts.... this area has been rife with odd occurrences.....

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@COMM: Pen: OPS: Go ahead ma'am.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
Self:  You can say that again ...

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@CSO: Ready?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Odd Occurrences...  Ya Think?!

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::tapping at the console::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#Self: hmm  :: starts attempting to get around the encryption::   TO2: you any good with encryptions?

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@TO: Just a second, talking to the Boss. ::smiles, enjoying himself immensely::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<SO_OS>::  *OPS*:  Ummm... that box thingy vanished.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: CSO:  We are sending down a set of relays in an attempt to boost sensor efficiency.  The Captain wants you to set them up evenly around the cavern you are in ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<SO_OS> *OPS*:  Oh yeah.. and the CNS went with it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the SO:: SO: What?  Where did they go?

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@Self: The Boss... Note to self: Be wary of 'The Boss' ::smirks::

TO2_Ens_Riper says:
#:: tries one last thing to access the Scanner logs , he takes both fist and slams the on to the console :: Console : Come on you piece of junk ::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks up::  CO: It appears that the Huron is not where it's supposed to be either, and that I apparently am not assigned to that ship anyway.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::beams the relays down::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::taps on console::  CO: Looks like I'm assigned here..... 

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::raises an eyebrow::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::looks at the console and shrugs than begins accessing random files trying to figure out what it shows::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
COMM: Pen: OPS: Aye ma'am. We’ve had some success with the crystal thingy by the way. It has moved to reveal a set of stairs. I’m taking a small team in shortly.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, ... ::gulps::  The CNS and the box we brought back have disappeared.

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#:: uses a tricorder to try and break the encryption::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::checking over the ship manifest::  CO: Have quarters here?

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@TO/EO: Looks like we'll have to wait just a little longer. Their sending us some extra supplies down.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
SO:  Find out where they went now!

Action: The console overloads from the blow, sending a huge arc of current through TO2's body, killing him instantly. His fried eyeballs fall to the floor with a audible clink right before he falls to the floor.

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@CSO/TO: Fine with me

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@CSO: Would you like me to scout ahead a little? I promise to be careful. ::grins a big grin::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::gets an idea and pulls out his tricorder than dives for cover away from the exploding console::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Almost seems your none to eager to go down there. ::smiles:: Don’t worry about it. Just look at it as an adventure.

Action: Mikal Luchena and the box reappear deep within the planet's underground complex.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks over to the railing and leans on it::: CO: Executive Officer, Commander Eli Irvin reporting for duty sir...   ::smiles and chuckles::

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#:: turns as the console explodes and sees the TO fall::  Sec team: Medic!

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COMM: CSO:  Acknowledged.  Be careful guys.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::looks around the bridge::  ALL: The situation has escalated to beyond out of control.  ::pauses and curses to himself::  Red Alert.

EO_Ens_Damien says:
@::musters up courage:: CSO: Sure. An adventure

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<EMH>::files his report about the latest case of brain melt and marks it for the CO's attention::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is unaware:::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@::waits for an answer::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, the team on the planet reported they have found a set of stairs that lead further underground ... Lt Toms is preparing to send a team down.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::moves back to the mission operations console::  CO: Going to Red Alert...  All decks reporting condition Red.... 

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@TO: Much as I would like to be in there first I think that may be a prudent idea. Go to the bottom of the stairs and secure a perimeter, but not to much further.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::goes to work like nothing has happened::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Very well.  Have them proceed with all due caution.

CTO_LtCmdr_Shiar says:
#COMM: OPS: Shiar to Jordan, we lost a TO. I would like some medical help over here

TO_Ens_Newind says:
@CSO: You got it. ::moves down the stairs::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::stands up and looks at his uniform, stained and riped it now carries the stains of another officer's blood::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, Team 2 reports one of their team has died.
