Host Caleb says:
RECAP: CO, CSO, and CTO are investigating a Small two meter tall pyramid on the surface of Neonic IV
Host Caleb says:
------------------ BEGIN MISSION ---------------------
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Do you still have a solid lock on the Captain's away team?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::hears the snap and feels the hair on his head begin rising::  COM: Sharikahr come in, do you read me?
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::takes the next shift on the bridge at the operations station and plops into the chair.. resetting the computer controls and looking over the current ship's status:: XO: checking now sir..
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::at console monitoring position and recalibrating heading::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::on the bridge, monitoring tactical::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Ma'am I've lost contact with the ship
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Looks at Knight, then tries her commbadge:: COM: Sharikahr, do you read?  Come in
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO: Keep an eye on energy spikes from...
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO: I can't get them either
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::looks up to the XO::  XO: Energy pikes from what Sir..? The pyramid..?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO: Communications are toast ma'am, we may want to move away from the pyramid.
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: no sir.. I have lost the lock on the Captain.. ::tries to find it again::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: I get no response ma'am, it's like they just disappeared
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Any reason why?
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO: I agree Ike.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO: Locate the away team's last known position and magnify, onscreen.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Glowing increases on the columns.. and four images, one on each side of the pyramid begin glowing.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Take us down another 2 kilometers and see if that helps with the lock.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::starts to back out slowly::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: checking sir.. seems to be interference on the surface.. can't break through it. 
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO/CSO: Move back at least one me...::Sentence drifts off at the appearance of the images::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
XO: yea sir         :: punches buttons on console  taking the ship down 2 kilo::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
XO: Aye Sir...  ::brings up the last known AT position and magnifies and puts it on screen:: On screen now Sir...
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Ma'am...the columns… something...::voice fades::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
XO: in position sir does that help
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Keep working on it.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Raises her tricorder:: CSO/CTO: What do you read? ::In a low voice::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: We'll know in a minute.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Away Team, though small, appears on the viewscreen.  They are within the perimeter of the columns, which are glowing, as is the pyramid in the center.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@: CO: Ma'am, I'm not sure...readings are still jumping all over the place
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the viewscreen magnified on their position::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::still backing away, checking his tricorder:: CO: It's the same readings as before, though stronger.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Glyphs on the Pyramid, begin to glow rhythmically
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::looks up at the view screen::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::resets the readings and tries again:: XO: sir.. distance is not a factor.. the AT is too close to some unidentified energy source.. just to concentrated
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO: Think its hostile? ::Still looking at them::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::looks at the viewscreen, Self: This doesn't look good::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: I'm not sure ma'am, but i suggest we get back more until we find out
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Okay. Any luck with communications?
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Enters Main Engineering, cautiously looking around::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: same effects sir.. nothing I can do from here.. I'll see if I can get it cleared somehow.. ::pokes at the console in frustration::
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Nods and backs up not taking her eyes off of the figures::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: All right, keep working on it.
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::initiates several scans to determine the cause of this weird glowing::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::jerks as his back hits an energy field:: CO/CTO: Stop!
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::sees the CSO jerk as if in pain and stops::  CSO: Are you alright?
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO: Wha..  ::feels a sting from an energy field::  
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Checks in with the Engineer in charge, moves around ME, checking on this and that::
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Rubs her elbow:: CSO: Ike, you ok?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: Yeah, I'm fine.  There seems to be an energy field surrounding us.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO: Get everything you can from Science and see if we can find some way to dissipate that field.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CSO: Ok, we can't go forwards and we can't go backwards...what does that leave?
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
XO: Aye Commander....on it...
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The beating of the Glyphs on the pyramid increases, as does the energetic feeling in the air.  The humming is picking up in volume too.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Looks at the others:: CSO/CTO: There is up and down
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::tries patching the communications into the main sensor array and use it to pick up and relay a concentrated beam toward the ground::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO/CTO: No up, we've lost transporters.
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::reroutes science to tactical and opens as second window on his console to display the science data readings::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CSO: We have got to do something....do we try climbing...or using phasers and tunnel down...if we can?
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
XO: just an idea   but how about using the deflector to emit a pulse so we can scan the pyramid
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Heads over to one console, and makes darn sure the Transporting systems are operating just in case we have to use them::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CSO: then we tunnel down and out...if we can?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Glyphs stop beating.. and the glowing on the columns is almost blinding.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO/CSO: But if we try phasers, will that ::Indicates the pyramid:: go off?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::shields his eyes::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Glowing on the viewscreen obstructs the view of the Away Team on the Planet.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::covers his eyes:: CO: I don't know ma'am, but we may have to try it....we're gonna get cooked in here
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Squints her eyes from the bright light:: CTO: Try it. 
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::sees a faint glow on her console from the main view screen and looks up:: XO: sir! the away team! we have lost visual
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Light is almost blinding, then the hum stops and the light is gone.  And the Away team isn't where they were.  There is still the pyramid and the columns, but the planet they are on isn't Neonic IV, its dark, and heavily wooded.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: There is a Flash, and the Away Team vanishes.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: No safe way I can think of....
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Blinks her eyes, still seeing spots::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: correction.. they are gone!
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO/CTO: Were we transported?
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
self; what the heck
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::confused looking at the viewscreen::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: How?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::Increases phaser setting to...and then looks around at the change in scenery:: CO/CSO: Uh we aren't on Neonic 4....must have been that flash of light
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
Out loud: where they go
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO/CTO: Where the hell are we now?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::taps his commbadge::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::activates his tricorder::
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Watching Ike try the comm., scans with her tricorder::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::checks the sensors in a panic:: XO: energy interference has subsided.. I can get a clean transporter lock now.. but.. there's nothing for me to lock onto sir..
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: I have no idea ma'am...weren't two of the other planets in the system heavily wooded?  ::tries his tricorder and scans the others:: CO/CSO: You two have an unknown radiation signature
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
XO: Sensor readings are coming through...the away team has just vanished...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: All right. Do a broad-spectrum scan of the entire system, take over Science's sensors if you have to. See if you can find any trace of their commbadge signatures.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::As she scans she catches the other 2 in her scan:: CSO/CTO: You getting this reading?  ::Shows them the scan she just did on them::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::moves his tricorder towards the CTO:: CTO: So do you.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::scans himself and notices the same thing::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTIONS: There is no glowing on these columns, which have vines growing up the, same with the pyramid.  Both are dormant.  The forest around you alive with forest noises
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Heads to his adjacent office off of Main Engineering, to read up on some reports::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO: I'm going to need your help Mr. Xucieel.
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: aye sir.. ::begins to link the sensor array and telescopes together::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Yes ma'am.....could we have gone back in time?
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
XO: You can count on me Sir...
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO/CTO: Lets get a closer look at this pyramid
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::groans at the thought:: CTO: Are you picking up chronotons?
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO: Not sure yet, Knight. 
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Aye ma'am ::moves towards it slowly:: CSO: No chronotons...just a theory...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO: Take Mr. Morak down in one of the shuttles and see what you can find at the pyramid sight. You might be able to find something close up. But *do not* enter the pyramid structure at all, understood?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO: Take two Sec officers with your as well, just in case.
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::begins to grid out the surrounding space and starts a scanning sequences::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
XO: Aye Commander...understood..
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO: I'm not getting anything from this pyramid, ma'am.
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::gets up to go with Mr. Xucieel::  TO: just tell me what to do  I’m ready
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::secures tactical and heads for the TL::
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO: Neither am I.  
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Ma'am, this pyramid looks dormant...Maybe I should climb one of the pillars and take a look around!
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Get them down there as quickly as possible. ::turns back to face the viewscreen::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
XO: you have my word
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
FCO: Just follow me and you'll be al right ::smiles as waits for the FCO to enter the TL::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::looks up as the bridge crew gets thinner and shrugs. looking back a console::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::enters TL::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO/CTO: If this pyramid isn't emitting any signal, I wonder why our communications are still blocked.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Goes right up to the pyramid base and slowly reaches out to touch it::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
TL: Shuttle bay
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: As the Captain's hand moves towards the pyramid.....
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Nothing happens as she touches it.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::looks at the dense brush:: CO: It sure isn't putting out the same signature....
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::pushes a button on his chair:: *CEO*: Commander, could you come to the Bridge please.
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
*XO* Something wrong, sir? ::As he nearly falls out of his chair::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: There's a bit of a problem yes. I'll explain when you get here.
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::as he hears the TL move towards the shuttle bay he taps his commbadge::  *Security Team Alpha*: Ericson and Durand please report to Shuttle bay 1 for away duty, type 2 phasers equipment...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks back:: OPS: Anything yet?
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
*XO* On my way. ::Gets up, and exits Main Engineering, leaving someone in charge, and someone to monitor Crewman  Tucker::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
*TO/FCO*: I will establish an open communications line with the shuttle once you clear the ship
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: we will find them Mr. Knight is a friend of my sons
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::The surface feels smooth. Then she looks up towards the top of the pyramid and sees clouds::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Ma'am, maybe from on top one of the pillars we can see out of this bush....Where is the sun… we're not in an arid climate
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
<SO_Daon> ::Arrives on the bridge as a replacement for the CSO, takes his seat at the SCI station::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
FCO: We will...
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO/CSO: Cloudy  ::Quietly as if talking to herself::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::takes in the scene:: CO: Not very inviting, is it?
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::eyes the reading and frowns:: XO: sir.. I have some odd energy reading from Neonic VI, the largest gas giant. 
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::exits the TL and walks into the shuttlebay::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::exits TL into shuttle bay::
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO: No it isn't
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Consistent with Neonic-IV down there?
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::enters shuttle craft and preps for flight::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Something in our scans before we picked up the pyramid...one of the planets was cloud covered....CSO: Do you remember which?
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::walks to the nearest weapons locker and gets 2 type II phasers out of it and hands one over to the FCO::  FCO: Take this...we may need this..
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Enters into a TL:: TL: Bridge.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO: Lets try climbing one.  ::hand sweeps the area:: CTO: Your choice
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
<Computer> Acknowledged. ::Takes the CEO to the bridge::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: negative sir.. these reading where not there before.. they just sorta.. appeared
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: thanks I very handy weapon     ALL: prepare for flight
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: Only Neonic III and IV were scanned, though III did have clouds, that doesn't tell us much.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: I'll take the one on the right side ::goes to the pillar and begins climbing it::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
XO: ready to lift off , cleared?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Thank you.
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Exits onto the bridge:: XO: Sir?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*FCO/TO*: Belay launch.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: One moment please Commander.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::as he slides back down the pillar due to it's smooth face:: CSO: Ok, just trying out scenarios
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::looks around as the others attempt to climb and scans for life::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::hears the XO and turns to the FCO::  FCO: What now..??
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
*XO* what’s up
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Watches Knight shimmy up the pillar:: CSO: Keep scanning.
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
<SO_Daon> ::Takes his place::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::winks the two security guards to enter the shuttle::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: maybe they found them
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Sees the CTO slid back down:: Lets try one of the trees
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
FCO: I doubt it...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*TO/FCO*: Stay in the shuttle for the moment, I have a hunch.
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
*XO*: Understood...standing by...
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Yes ma'am.  ::heads for the nearest tree squinting to see  in the little light that the clouds let in::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
AFCO: Set a course for Neonic VI and engage.
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: hope its good
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<FCO Guy> Ahkileez: Yessir
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
FCO: Me too, but I'd be rather on the bridge or on my way to the planet right now, I can't stay still...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: We're having trouble locating the Captain and her party. It appears that the anomaly on the planet might have moved them somehow, like a transporter. Now we're not sure where they are, but I wanted your help in making sure we find any possible trace of them.
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Just waits there::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO/CTO: Keep your eye out for the local wildlife.
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::pecks at the console a bit more and tries to get a better scan on the surface of Neonic VI::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::gets behind the tactical console:: FCO: I'll recalibrate the tactical sensors while we're here...
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Moves over to the trees:: CSO: Anything to worry about Ike? ::Has small grin::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::picks out a tree with lots of branches and begins climbing to the top:: CO/CSO: I'm in this tree if you can't see me anymore!!!  ::hears something just as the CSO mentions wildlife::
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
XO: How should I help, sir?
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: good idea       ::goes over the shuttle systems making sure everything is running smooth
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO: Just try not to step on anything, ma'am.  ::smirks::
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO: Don't worry Knight.  We won't shoot up there unless you beg us to ::Smiles and winks at Ike::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Away Team hears something coming crashing through the Brush, a 1.5 meter hulking shape rushes towards them, stops 10 meters off raises its four arms and...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: I have a hunch that the energy surge that Lt. Lyra pick up on that gas giant is related to their disappearance, it appeared slightly after. We lost comm. and transporter lock last time due to a surge but I don't want that to prevent us from finding them if they are on that planet. I need you to find a way around it.
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::tries to boost the sensor range by feeding extra signal picked up by the deflector disk into the sensor relays for translation::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Creature> BOOGA BLAGA BOOGA AAOOGA!!!!
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
<SO_Daon> ::Continues scans::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The creature then lowers its arms and runs away.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::stops and listens:: @CO: Yes ma'am....just had a nasty run in with a giant spider in woods like these...sees something moving in the brush....CO/CSO: Move back...oh never mind
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
XO: Aye, sir. Who should I work with for this?
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Turns at the creatures arrival:: CSO/CTO: What was that?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO/CTO: How strange.  Looked like a local
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: I don't know for sure ma'am....I do know it had four arms
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: Lieutenant Lyra if you please.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CTO: I think we scared it more than the other way around
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*FCO/TO*: Be ready to launch if I call on you Lieutenants.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CSO edit
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO/CTO: If that’s the locals........CTO: Can you see anything?  CSO: Scan where it goes if you can
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: aye sir.. beginning a new scan of the surface
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO/CTO: It could be going to get some friends.
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
*xo* ready and waiting
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
<AFCO> ::brings the Sharikahr into orbit over Neonic-VI, approximately over the anomaly::
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Looks around for Lt. Lyra::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: I can barely see the tree trunk in front of my face...it's darker in the vegetation
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO/CSO: Phasers on stun. Just in case.  Not, I repeat not heavy stun. Not yet
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::silently looking at the tactical sensor diagnostic data passing through the screen as he turns to the two security guards::  Ericson/Durand: Don't just stand there....those phasers look filthy brush them, I want them glancing before we start!!
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CTO: Maybe we want to be ready for more company...::sets his phaser to stun::  CO/CSO: I'll stay up here...if nothing else maybe I can hear them sooner
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: sir.. Its a Hydrogen Based Gas Giant.. There is an unusual residual energy signature deep within the planets clouds though. trying to get a lock
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
edit @CO/CSO
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Thank you, but I'll doubt you'll be able to get one right now.
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::looks at the TO thinking a good warrior::
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO: Good, but if you find any new friends up there, call out
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Aye ma'am...I will!
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*FCO/TO*: Double check all of the systems susceptible to EM damage will you. You might encounter some.
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Walks over to OPS, looking over the scans:: XO: Sir... I believe we've considered that those pyramids may be a transporter system. Perhaps a way for whoever used to live here to get around...
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
<Durand/Ericson> ::look at the TO:: TO: Aye Sir...  ::begin brushing::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
*XO*: Acknowledged Commander...
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CSO: Have either of you tried your Comm badges lately
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: When we arrived here, I gave it a try.  Got nothing.
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::double checks all the systems:: TO ready and waiting
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: That's what I surmised as well. Do you have any ideas on shutting it down or bypassing it to retrieve the away team?
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
self: can't hurt to try.. ::shrugs and begins to establish a sensor lock on the weird energy source and gets no where..:: XO: reading indicate it’s 10 Kilometers down into the atmosphere
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Moves around the tree the CTO is in, looking and listening:: CTO/CSO: All try it again
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::turns back to the FCO::  FCO: we can change the shield frequency to dampen the EM radiation...
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::looks up at the CEO and stares at him::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::keeps climbing until all of a sudden he's above the trees:: CO/CSO: There's a body of water not far off from where we are now!
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Taps her badge:: COM: Sharikahr, do you read?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Does the anomaly show any sign of instability or dangerous radiation?
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
XO: I don't think we can from here. We'd have to study the pyramids itself and... OPS: Is something wrong?
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: good idea I’ll get that set up
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO: Which way?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::scurries down the tree and approaches the CO and CSO: Follow me...it's right this way
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO: The comm. doesn't work yet
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
CEO: you could access my station from over there you know.. ::points to the back wall::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO/CTO: A body of water is often where wildlife congregates, let's be careful.
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
OPS: The Commander requested that I work WITH you. Not your console.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO/CTO: Phasers ready.  Scan as we go.  CTO: Lead the way
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::turns back to her console with a huff:: XO: negative sir.. I can't determine that at this point
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Understood. Keep me updated.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Ok, thought it might with no interference from the pyramid.  CSO: I agree, but it would be easier for the Sharikahr to pick up on a scan, assuming they know we're not there anymore. CO/CSO: Right this way
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
FCO: Acknowledged...I'm still working on this tactical console...I don't know what the CEO did with it...unbelievable...
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Its a short walk to the water... which is a very large body of water... there is a strange glow coming from the clouds above the water.
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO :aye sir.. ::looks back up at the CEO:: CEO: good for me.. ::pecks at console some more::
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Falls in behind Knight::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::pushes the button again:: *FCO/TO*: You are free to launch. Get the coordinates from Lt Lyra and proceed carefully for whatever scans you can. Do not take any unnecessary risks.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@:: he moves cautiously and keeps his phaser drawn::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
*XO* acknowledged
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CSO: Could that glow be the sun?
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::signals for the shuttlebay doors to open and lifts off::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::brings the area of the reading onto the main viewer and magnifies it::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CSO: or something else?
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO/CSO: If its the sun, why brighter here than elsewhere?  CTO: Did you notice any glow while in the tree?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Contact the shuttle, have them go down as far as they safely can, then launch a probe. We'll get what we can before gravity destroys it.
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::clearing the doors:: *XO* cleared and heading out
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO: It seems a bit localized to be a sun.
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::smashes against the tactical console...seeing some lights flip on::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: sir! that’s a gas giant.. the shuttle was never designed for that type of atmosphere..
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: No ma'am....not like that anyway
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Shakes her head:: CSO/CTO: No. I don't think its the sun
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Shakes his head::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::Takes his tricorder and points it at the glow::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::gets the coordinates on the console and inputs data::  ALL; here we go
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Scans and then compares it with Ikes and Knights scans::
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
<SO_Daon> ::Monitors the shuttle from his station at the back::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::prepares a probe for launch:: XO: sir .. request permission to recall the shuttle
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
FCO: Let's hope we make it through....
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Granted, call them back.
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: me too   ::engages the engines::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO/CTO: I think we're inside something
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
COM: Shuttle: abort descent and return to dock.. 
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::Looks at his readings and then checks them with the others::  CO/CSO: It's a fungus, bioluminescent....like on the walls of caves
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
FCO: I have full confidence in your piloting skills...
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO/CTO: Inside... A cave or something ::Hopes it isn't a creatures belly::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::launches class one probe:: XO: probe launches sir
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CSO: I used to explore them as a boy...
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: you just take care of any enemies we encounter and I’ll keep the shuttle safe
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
COM: Sharikahr: Excuse me..? Abort..?
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: sir.. general sensor reading indicate the energy signature has vanished.. we lost it sir
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
FCO: stop your decent...we may have a problem...
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
COM: Shuttle: Aye .. get back to the ship
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
COM: Sharikahr: Acknowledged...returning to the ship...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::curses in Romulan, much to the chagrin of the Vulcan crew on the Bridge:: OPS/CEO: Did the probe get anything?
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Checks the data coming in::
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
XO: No, sir, nothing.
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
FCO: abort the descent, we have to get back to the ship...
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CSO: If we are in a cave, there has to be a way for the water to get in and out...for this much water
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: darn  what is going on          ::turns shuttle around and heads for the ship::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: no sir.. it just got crushed in the gravity well of the planet
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
FCO: She’s, what a waste of time...
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO: True. But if not a cave, ::Voice gets softer:: then what?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Was there a surge on Neonic-IV this time?
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: tell me bout it this is crazy
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Ma'am, I'm not sure I want to know
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::smashes against the tactical console again:: FCO: Oh well...just do it slowly...now I do not wanna get back to fast...
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::takes more readings trying to figure out how big the cave, or whatever, is::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Self: Must have been a wild goose chase.
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: take your frustration out in the holodeck  we might need that console
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO/CSO: Are we sure it's water, and has anybody analyzed it yet?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
AFCO: When the shuttle is onboard, break orbit and head back to Neonic-IV, we'll continue our investigation.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CTO/CSO: Ready to climb some rocks? 
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Contact the shuttle, have them land but not power down. When we get back to Neonic-IV we'll go with the original plan.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO: Is it water?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: A Glow from behind the Away Team catches their eye.. its coming from the columns
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::While Ike checks the water, she scans the rocks
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::kneels down next to the water::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::looks at the console, full with cracks:: FCO: Oh well this isn't working anymore...
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
XO: no sir.. the energy simply faded.. aye sir
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
*comm* Sharikahr Clearance to approach
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Yes ma'am.....::sees a light behind him:: CO/CSO: Look, behind us, a glow
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO: Good old H2O
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: It looks like you'll get your chance to check out that "transporter" in person. I'd like you to go down with the shuttle when we get back over there. You'll have command.
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Nods::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::stands up to see the glow:: CO/CTO: That may be our only way out.
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
*FCO/TO*: your cleared at Docking 2.. but keep the systems powered up.. we may need you again soon
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: we'll still get our chance
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
*OPS* acknowledged           ::signals for the shuttle bays to open
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
CEO: don't step on anything.. dangerous
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
<AFCO> ::opens the shuttlebay doors and engages the tractor beam on the shuttle::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::looks at the FCO again::  FCO: Yep...maybe they want us to camp in the shuttle bay for the next days...standing by  ::smiles::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::steers the shuttle for a landing in dock 2::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO: Ma'am?  We may want to return to the pyramid.
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
OPS: I'll keep that in mind. XO: Oh, and sir, promise me you won't leave Engineering in Tucker's command.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: I agree....worth a try before we start a climb to who knows where
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: It's your department, you pick your replacement. But I don't know Tucker yet so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO/CTO:  Could we be on Neonic VI?  You know, a kind of underground valley?
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
::secures the shuttle::  *ops* shuttle secured  standing by
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::looks a little confused:: CO: On a gas giant ma'am?  Highly unlikely.  ::starts making his way back::
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
*FCO/TO*: roger... 
Host CO_Fowler says:
@CSO/CTO: Maybe it was an interplanetary transport instead of a planetary transport ::Looks thoughtful::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: As the Away Team approaches the pyramid again, they see the Booga-Monster banging ont the Pyramid as it glows, the humming increasing.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr makes its way back to Neonic IV
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
XO: You don't want to know, sir... you just don't want to know. *Engineering* Fossoila, you have command of Engineering, I'm going on an Away Mission.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CO/CTO: Looks like our friend is back.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
<AFCO> XO: Standard orbit of Neonic-IV sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
AFCO: Thank you.
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
TO: now this can be boring and they said  join Starfleet see the universe
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: You're clear to go.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO/CO: And he doesn't look happy, but look at the pyramid… the more he hits it the more it glows
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Glowing and Humming increase and in a flash, the Booga Monster is gone.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Sees the creature:: CSO/CTO: Maybe he knows something we don't
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::watches the CEO as he walks toward the TL and grins::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::cautiously approaches the pyramid and gives the base a little kick::
TO_LtJG_Xucieel says:
::laughs:: FCO: Do not ever believe that propaganda...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::sighs:: OPS: Start the full-spectrum scans again. Maybe we'll turn up something new.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::sees the monster vanish:: CO/CSO: Maybe it's a way back....we haven't got much to lose.....since we're already lost ::laughs::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As the Sharikahr arrives in orbit around Neonic IV, they detect a primate lifesign near the pyramid, alone.
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Makes a note to let the Engineers know to do something bad to the OPS officer's quarters when they get the chance:: TL: Shuttlebay One.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Pyramid does nothing as the CSO kicks it.
Host CO_Fowler says:
@::Moves up by Ike and joins him:: CTO: Care to join us?
OPS_LtJg_Lyra says:
::nods:: XO: aye sir.. :makes a note to turn off the hot water to the CEO's bathroom the next time the shower is in use::
CEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::When he entered Starfleet, they said: "Join Starfleet... Hopefully survive the Jem'Hadar"::
FCO_LTJGMorak says:
