U.S.S. Sharikahr NCC-81204
Stardate: 10008.17
“Desert Launch” Episode 4

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
RECAP: The Sharikahr is investigating the missing CO, CTO, and CSO in orbit of Neonic IV.   The CO, CTO, CSO are in a jungle which seems to be in a cave or underground cavern.  They cannot contact the ship, and it is unknown where they are.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::scouts the perimeter of the woods around the pyramid, making sure there won't be any nasty surprises::
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
::At Science one Scanning the Planet::
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::in ME, doing a diagnostic on warp core, making sure everything is fine::
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::checks to make certain med. teams one and two have been properly dispatched::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::slips in chair at OPS station::
FCO_LT_Morak says:
::in the shuttle heading for the planet::
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: We got 4 armed primates near the pyramid sir.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::looks down at the console in her office overlooking sickbay::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::while  he scouts the area, he wonders if there is something very obvious that he's missing, something that will allow them to get back to where they were::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::begins checking allocations between systems, decreases power to non-essentials and gives more power to scanners::
FCO_LT_Morak says:
@::starts a scan for a good place to land::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*OPS*: Anything new from the planet?
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::picks up a PADD and looks it over memorizing her new med teams names::
FCO_LT_Morak says:
@TO: are you ready
TO_Ens_Kent says:
@FCO: Ah, yes sir.
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::realizes the warp core works just fine, all readings are normal::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*XO*:  Negative, sir.  No communications, no energy readings.  Nothing.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Do we know what species it is?
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Not yet sir still scanning.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Understood.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::all of a sudden, he realizes that there is no breeze, or not much of one anyway. Self: strange what I'll notice at times like this::
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Sir The Primate is unfamiliar to any thing we have on record sir.
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::begins to run a level 3 diagnostic on shields and weapons systems::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::continues trying to raise away teams, runs various filtering programs to enhance signal retrieval::
FCO_LT_Morak says:
@::finds a good spot about 1/4 mile from pyramid::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Send a all-band hail out will you, but confine it to this system. See if there's anyone else out here. They might not be smart enough to stay quiet.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
*MedTeam1*: Are You standing ready in case of transport?
FCO_LT_Morak says:
@::proceeds for finial approach::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: All right, thank you. Carry on.
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
::Continues to scan the planet looking for the away team::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  Signaling now.  ::sends out all band local hail::
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Aye sir.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Contact the shuttle. Inform them of the primate.
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::all of a sudden, as he rounds one of the pillars, he notices an object in the woods a little ways away, it is a pillar with the same hieroglyphics as the four around the pyramid::
TO_Ens_Kent says:
@::sits in the back of the shuttle watching, fidgeting with his phaser::
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
<MO Justress> CMO: Yes Sir, standing by ::shuffles feet feeling silly just standing around in an empty transporter room and rolls eyes at the other MO::
FCO_LT_Morak says:
@::brings the shuttle down for a soft landing::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::opens channel to the shuttle::  COM:  Shuttle:  FCO:  Lt. Be aware, we have located four armed primates near the pyramid structure.  Take appropriate precautions.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: *MedTeam1*: Good! Stand bye in case of transport
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::hits comm badge:: *XO* Sir, warp core shows normal readings.  I'll proceed the diagnostics with other systems.
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#::stands almost the moment the shuttle lands::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: Sir, I've found a lone pillar...with what appear to be the same hieroglyphics as the others!
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*EO*: Understood. See if you can get our sensors anymore refined will you? Ahkileez out.
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*XO* Aye.
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::heads to sensors station and observes its configuration::
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#COM: I read you ,we just touched down  , but the only place to land was 1/4 mile away to structure 15 minutes
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::realizes that the CSO didn't hear him, and decides to check on the pillar a little more closely::
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#::steps up and opens the rear of the shuttle, exiting, and covering the area with his rifle::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
COM:  Shuttle:  Acknowledged.  And Correction, there are not four armed primates, but one four-armed primate at the pyramid structure.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::stands and heads out to sickbay:: MO: Is the second Med. team prepared for the return of the shuttle?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::leans back in his chair rubbing his forehead:: OPS: Instruct them to keep an open comm, and report their progress regularly.
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Still no luck locating the away team sir.
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::enters some codes, changing the configuration, then enhance the power to sensors, trying to refine them::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::taking his tricorder, he scans the pillar for any signs  of the strange radiation that they picked up as an aura when they first arrived::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  COM:  Shuttle:  Lt. keep an open com, and report your progress at regular intervals.  Acknowledge.
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#TO: scans all clear for the area around us  but be ready the ship says there is one primate that has 4 arms
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
<MO> ::looks up from his duties:: CMO: Sir, the team is standing ready, and i'm preparing additional supplies now
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#COM: aye keeping an open channel
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
# ACTION: The Primate with four arms spots the visitors and runs towards them
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*SO* Lieutenant Derek, are sensors working properly?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
# <Primate> BOOGA BOOGA AOOGA!
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#FCO: Aye sir, what are your orders sir? Shall I shoot it?
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Commander, I'm having the com system continuously monitor their signal to immediately report any changes.
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
::Runs diagnostics:: *EO*:: Checking now.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Excellent Ensign, thank you.
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#TO: heavy stun  don't want to fill anything yet
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*SO* I'm trying to refine them for you.
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::nods and turns back to OPS station, working on second clearance program to obtain missing AT's com signals::
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#::levels phaser rifle at the primate and drops to one knee, putting a shot in the Primate's upper chest::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@::Self: why is this pillar alone, and not with the others?  Is it a control rod of some kind::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::pushes the comm button on his chair:: *CMO*: Hon... Uh, Doctor. Are those triage teams in place yet?
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#::also firing at the primate::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
# ACTION: The Primate drops down.. stunned
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::finally notices the CTO:: CTO:  What do you have there?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: Sir, You really should take a look at this!  ::yells loudly this time::
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::nods and looks at the MO then at her PADD:: MO: I'm sorry, I don't believe we've met. I'm CMO Ahkileez, Kelandra ... *XO* ::bit of grating sound in irritation at his slip:: XO: Yes Sir *Hon* med. teams are ready
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::while awaiting SO's answer, he returns to check shields and weapons diagnostics::
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#FCO: Target down sir
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: It's another pillar, but all alone.  It has the same hieroglyphics as the others though
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#TO: lets move I want to be there in 15 minutes
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#::walks over to the primate, keeping it covered with the rifle::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CMO*: Thanks Doctor. Ahkileez out.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: Hmm, seems dormant enough...  ::inspects it closer::
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
*EO*: The sensors are running at 100%.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::nods to the MO and gestures for him to join the rest of MedTeam2::
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#FCO: Sir! ::moves over to him::
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::closes the communication::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: I have scanned it for any of that radiation signature we found on each other as well
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::listens to SO's answer:: *SO* Stand by...
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
::Scans the planet again Around where he found the only life signs::
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#::heads out through the thick jungle::
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*SO* Check here.  Thanks, Lieutenant.
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#COM: we just took down the primate and heading for the target know
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
*EO*: No problem.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::turns to a console nearby in sickbay and sends a message of Sickbay's 100% readiness to OPS for good measure::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: Sir, does your tricorder pick this up...a faint energy signature from within the pillar
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#::takes point in front of the FCO, keeping the rifle at his waist, aimed forward::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::activates his tricorder::  CTO: I'm getting it too.  ::lets out a deep breath and looks around::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::continues running combinations of clearances programs::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
COM:  FCO:  Acknowledged.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: Could this be a control rod of some kind?  Sort of a master switch?
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
::Continues his scans::
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::notices the results of diagnostics - weapons and shields working fine::
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#::continues on ahead with phaser ready::
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::smiles and dusts off her hands symbolically:: Self: Wow, the sickbay on my pasts ships were never kept in this kind of readiness. Will have to compliment the EO Crew to the CEO
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Sir, they've immobilized the primate.  Any additional orders?
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: The pyramid seems to be activating again sir.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Yes. We don't know if that... one second.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: Well, any ideas on how this could 'switched on', so to speak?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: It is?
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Aye sir.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: tell them to hold, don't approach any closer.
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
COM:  FCO/AT:  Hold your position, do NOT approach the pyramid.
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#::stops and drops to one knee again, scanning in front of him through the rifle viewfinder::
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*XO* Sir, sensors are working properly, as Lt. Derek checked.  Weapons and shields are working at peak efficiency either.
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#::stops in his tracks::  COM: read you  what is the situation           TO: hold position
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: The only thing I can think of is the primate must have belted it first before he hit the pyramid...One other thing I've noticed… everything is based on 2's....a  2 meter pyramid, 4 pillars, a 4 armed primate....are we missing something here?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*EO*: Thank you. Update me if anything changes.
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*XO* Aye, sir. ::smiles::
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::turns to the nearest nurse and smiles::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*FCO/AT*:  Stand by.  ::turns to XO:  Sir, they're waiting for further instructions.
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#FCO: Acknowledged sir, keeping the area secure. ::continues to scan::
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
::Loads the CTO and CSO Bio patterns in to scanners and starts scanning from the Pyramid out::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: I certainly am.  ::scratches his head::
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::notices everything is fine at ME, so decides to check with the other departments::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Tell them to hold position. Inform them of the pyramid's powering up again and see if they can get whatever readings they can. We'll give them the go ahead in a moment when we see what the pyramid's going to do.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: So theoretically, there should be at least one more of these lone pillars...
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
Nurse: Let's hope there will be no casualties to deal with, but in the mean time, no reason we can't get to know each other. Always good to know those we work with don't You think?
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: The Pyramid just went dormant sir.
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*FCO*  Hold your position.  Sensor's are showing the pyramid powering up again.  See what readings you can get.  Await further instructions.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: ::sigh:: Ok. Does anything new show up?
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*CMO* How are the things at sickbay, Doctor?
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
<Nurse S'Vit> ::locks up hair falling back from her Vulcan ears and raises an eyebrow:: CMO: I am currently adjusting this scanner it is  efficient.
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Sir there is a transport happening but not like our transporters sir.
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#com: acknowledged             TO: scan everything and see if you get anything unusual , I’ll do the same
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
*EO* Everything is in fine order. Keep up the good work.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Understood. Keep the sensors running on this. We want every bit of data possible.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::clears throat:: Nurse S'Vik: Perhaps another time.
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#::takes out tricorder and begins scans::
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Aye sir.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Inform the away team. Get them to approach, but cautiously.
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*CMO* Aye.  Anything wrong, just call me.  MacLeod out
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*FCO*  You may continue your approach, but the Commander says to do so cautiously.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::turns away and grins shutting down the comm with the EO and thinking "Ah, it's good to be among Vulcans again...NOT!"::
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#::transfers the rifle to his other hand as he reaches down and brings his tricorder out, holding it along side the rifle, so wherever the rifle is pointed gets scanned:: FCO: Yes sir
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: If we looked down from above on this set up...wouldn't the four pillars and the one by itself form an even bigger pyramid....does it take an increasingly more powerful force to activate...
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::tries to establish a link with the FCO/AT's tricorders::
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#COM: moving out        TO: lets move but be cautious 
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::As if I didn't get enough of this at Jyggy's home::
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::wonders when the CEO will return, there's a plenty of paperwork::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: or are we looking at a map of the Neonic System and which side of the pyramid or pillars are hit send us to a different part of the system?
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#::Stands and keeps the tricorder/phaser combo where it is, moving forward and taking small arc scans to the left and right as he moves::
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::chuckles to herself and moves back to her office to continue her review of the crew while simultaneously keeping an eye on any relevant data being transmitted from the surface:: 
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Sir we just picked up an energy blip but its so chaotic that we cant pin point it sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: So your saying that these clusters of pillars could be vertices for an even larger pyramid?
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*OPS* Is there anything I can do for you, Ensign?  Enhance communications power or something?
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::establishes a link with the FCO's shuttlecraft and through it their tricorders::  SO:  I'm linking the FCO's and TO's tricorders to your station.  Hopefully, you can use their scan information.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Understood. Keep cutting down the margin of error. When you're ready, we'll figure out what to do about it.
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Aye sir.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: I'm not sure sir, just thinking out loud I guess.....it's got to be something very simple we are missing....
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#TO: are you getting to same thing I’m getting,  I’m getting highly chaotic readings  put can't pinpoint it
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*EO*  Thank you, Lt.  Can you reroute non-essential power to standby status and shift that power to communications and transporter sensors.
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
::Thinks how do I even start to narrow it down::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::overhears the conversation:: OPS: Did we get the data from their tricorders on the Primate?
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::smiles thinking it's almost like being back home to work with so many Vulcan crewmates and wonders how Jyg will feel about it. Perhaps together they could tickle some Vulcan funny bones proving once again they are not as staid as they like to appear::
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*OPS* I'll be glad to! ::smiles::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: I'd still like to know where exactly we are.  Or at least what we're inside.
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#FCO: Confirmed sir, picking up a large energy surge, I can't pin it down either
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::checks the tricorder data::  XO:  Aye, sir.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: I haven't seen Captain Fowler since she left to search...have you?
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#COM: are you getting the same readings i am down here
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::checks if there is anyone using the holodecks::
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: The Energy signature disappeared sir.
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#FCO: Correction sir, it's gone now. Scans now show clear
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Ok. Send that data down to Medical. Ask Lt. Ahkileez to take a look at it and see if there are any medical clues that would give us an idea where that creature came from. We may be able to use that to find the Captain.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
XO: Did we record everything on it?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::look around::  CTO: Dang it.  She was just behind me a few minute ago.
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
::Changes his scans to scan for the energy signatures::
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#COM: I just got the same thing  well continuing toward the structure
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
<MedTeam2> ::stands around chatting in the shuttlebay trying to forget that at any moment casualties could be coming in::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  Permission to open a direct COM link between the SO and the FCO to facilitate coordinating their readings?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Granted.
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::brings the holodecks offline, rerouting the power to communications and transporter sensors::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::sends the primate data to the CMO for her review::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  SO:  You have an open COM link with the FCO.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
<edit previous XO error to SO: >
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: I hope she's close....I have an idea...what if we use our recordings of the pyramids on Neonic IV and the energy signature we found there… but decrease everything by a factor of 2, maybe it would match that aura we found around ourselves
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*FCO*  I've opened a direct COM link to the SO.
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Aye sir I recorded it all and am using it as a scan guide trying to locate it sir.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
<Ens Joykill> ::walks up to holodeck one and into a dead holodeck::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*CMO*  Ops to Dr. Ahkileez.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
*OPS* CMO here
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Good work.
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*OPS* Done, ensign.  Power rerouted from holodecks to communications and transporter sensors, as required.
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#COM: acknowledged  how can we help him
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*CMO*  Dr., you should have a file available on the scans from the primate the away team discovered on the planet surface.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
<Ens Joykill> ::grumbles and walks over to the panel notes  power has been rerouted::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*EO*  Acknowledged and thanks, Lt.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: I'd like to see if we can find any more of these single pillars around here.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::checks for the file:: *OPS* Yes i see it right here. What information is needed?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: Aye sir....a good idea
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*CMO* The XO would like you to see if there are any clues as to its origin and from where it might have come on the planet.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
<Ens Joykill> ::grumbles to self and heads off to the mess hall to see if someone wants to play cards::
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
*OPS*: Understood, CMO Out
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: Maybe we should look for it on a triangular trajectory.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO:  You took the words right out of my mouth sir
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::scans the data pulling up all known Primate species from LCARS and begins running a correlation program::
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::walks over ME, the e-teams are doing their jobs, nothing unusual happening::
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Sir I have been looking at the data from the FCO's tricorder and it looks like our primate is almost the same as an earth chimp but with four arms and If Im reading this data right it looks like it has lived in the dark most of its life it has excellent night vision.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@:: begins to search around the perimeter once again, but this time looking for a single pillar instead of a set of four::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Engineering has rerouted non-essential power to the communications and transporter systems.  I would like to try those wide-band hails again with your permission.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
edit <another single pillar>
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Which suggests underground.... Where did that surge come from? Above or below the surface?
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
OPS: Can you boost power to the Sensor grid?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Granted. But keep them in the system.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: Here we go, found another.  ::motions forward::
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: It was under ground and I’m still scanning for any identical power signatures.
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
SO:  Yes, stand by.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: Be right there sir ::heads over to where the CSO is standing::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*EO*  Ops to Engineering.
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::takes a padd from the next engineer and checks its information::
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::sends the OPS the information found, indicating that the primate is nocturnal::
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*OPS* MacLeod here.  Proceed.
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#TO: I think I see something up ahead
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#FCO: Structure in sight sir. ::gestures with the phaser::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Are we any closer to the original location of the signal?
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*EO*  We need to get additional power to the sensors, everything you can find, Lt.
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Not yet sir it was very chaotic so pin pointing it has been difficult.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: I have a feeling sir, that this one will have the same faint energy signature
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*OPS* Stand by. ::begins to search extra power to reroute::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::receives the CMO's data::  XO:  Commander, the CMO confirms the same data on the primate that Lt. Derek found.  Nothing unusual except for the fact that it's nocturnal.
FCO_LT_Morak says:
#COM: just coming up on the structure now  what are your orders
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: All right. As soon as we get full readings on the pyramid we can see if there's a connection. That might help.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
~~~~ ::reaches out across their bond quietly and unobtrusively checking on her husband:: ~~~~
SO_LtJG_Derek says:
XO: Aye sir.
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*FCO*  Stand by.
CMO_LtJg_Ahkileez says:
::wishes she could do the same about her children::
OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Sir, the away team has reached the structure.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Thank you Ensign.
TO_Ens_Kent says:
#FCO: You should stay here sir, while I scout ahead to the structure.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CSO: Sir,  look, it's starting to glow like the others did
EO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::reroutes some power from stand by energy to sensors::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <CO> *CTO/CSO* Gentlemen, I suggest you get back to the pyramid, its surging.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::notices the glyphs glowing:: CTO: We're getting a stronger signal now...
