USS Sharikahr Mission #363
Space, the final frontier...These are the adventures of the USS Sharikahr in her continuing mission to bring peace where conflicts may arise, to explore new worlds untouched by the eyes of men, and to brave the darkness of the last vast, unknown.
Last mission the team lead by the XO has gone deep inside the cave system looking for the missing kids, now it looks like only one large obstacle is standing between Commander Arinoch and the sons and daughters of the colonists.
However deep inside a mountain, in a seismic area, even a single obstacle may become too much, as the previous rescue team discovered.
In the meanwhile, the rest of the crew on the Sharikahr continue in their effort to create a vent in the moon's rocky shell. The lights are dim on the bridge, power is given only to the most essential systems, and among all the non Vulcans, tensions run high.
The temperature of the rock borders are growing quickly, and some areas are already beginning to melt. However the stress on engines, structural fields and tractor beams grows minute after minute.
It's the classical struggle between technology and nature, and only one will come out as the winner.
To the victor, of course, will go the spoils of war.

::Keeping a wary eye on the ships systems as they continue the tug of war with the moon::
SO_Archimedes says:
:: quietly::  CSO:  Temperature of the corked area is now at 900 degrees.  There are a few areas hotter than the rest and are melting, but for the most part, it is still way below melting temperature.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
SO: Rate of increase?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@::at the cave in wall the team has encountered, pleased to see that their progress is good and that the water is draining safely::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::tries not to think about how much she hates caves...and instead keeps an eye on the XO as they move in search of the children..::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Captain, I have a system status report for you.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
::does her best to ignore the half of her console warning about the engine strain::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CEO*: Go ahead, Commander.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::gets up from his console for a bit, and makes his way towards the science station, pausing until Sin and her assistant have finished talking::
SO_Archimedes says:
CSO: I am sorry commander, while we calculated all the possibilities, the many factors involved continue to be the reason the odds of success were so low.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@TO: Good job Ensign, we're almost there.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: So far the Shari and Minerva are holding up, and will continue to do so. The rest of the ships are suffering, however. I guess they only have a 50% chance of holding up for the next 8 hours. Of all the ships in the Task Force, only the Shari and Minerva have power left to spare for phasers. Whatever we do, it should be soon.

@ACTION: The people in the XO’s away team take turns being on point and vaporizing the rock with phasers, when the temperature becomes too hot for them they leave their position to another. It's a slow and grueling work.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over the data::  CO: Captain, with the data we have now, running time for all the rock along the borders to melt are estimated between 7.5 to 8 hours.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CEO*: I will ensure that the officers are aware of that.  Keep up the good work, Commander.  Bridge out.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_LtJG_Loral> ::nods, and motions another officer to take up a second position, while she moves opposite him, both firing to attempt breaking up the same spot::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: Commander Hembrook suggests that our entire fleet will be unable to maintain the appropriate output levels to last eight hours.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
SO: Pull up the scans we have of the area.  I am looking for a keystone, something that we could spend more focus on that could lead to what we need.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@CMO: Are you doing all right, doctor?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Stands and turns around:: CO: There still remain the other options.  I am looking into another possibility, but it would be more risky.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::steps just a bit closer, and glances at their readings while he listens to the exchange::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Starts coordinating with her liaison officers and the CEOs on the other ships in the Task Force to maximize their system efficiency and minimize their stress load, using every trick she knows to keep things going as long as they can::
SO_Archimedes says:
:: nods and puts the data up on the various screens.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::looks over at Arinoch and sighs:: XO: I suppose. I hate caves. ::pause:: How are you doing?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: Be thorough, but quick, Commander.
SO_Archimedes says:
:: moving from one data set through another, slowly begins to shake his head.::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
<stands up = straightens::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Captain, I have 2 suggestions to offer to help the current problem. Under current conditions the Shari and Minerva may go up to one-quarter impulse if we are careful. Alternately, I'd recommend using low-power wide-beam phasers to gently heat the stubborn areas slowly to get them in line with the rest to make extraction easier.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CSO: What if we were to think in smaller terms? We're relying on the pressure being enough to force it out. But maybe we need to give it a hand.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@CMO: I'm all right. The security team has tried to keep me away from the overly heavy work. I suspect they might be under orders ::smirks::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turning she watches Archimedes responses, but says nothing, waiting for an official report.::
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
CO: Captain, if we continue making such slow progress we risk our systems failing on us before we make any impact at all.  We may have to resort to explosives to move this along.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_LtJG_Loral>::turns just a bit away from the XO, pretending to concentrate more on her work, thus hiding a smirk of her own::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over at Donovan::  CTO:  Such as?
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: XO: They'd better be. If the orders did not come from the CTO, they'd come from me. Being in a confined space is already hard mentally for most, but for you, this heat, exhaustion and dehydration... ::shakes head slightly, but smiles knowingly::
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
CO: I've been running the numbers and I think we have deep enough crevices from our melting process so that we would do more than just blow away surface material.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: I've considered the possibility.  Please assist the operations team in assessing the effectiveness and hazards of such a direction.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CEO*: We are currently evaluating phasers as a potential process.
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::looks around at the team, and sighs, her hands on her hips...her left fingers drum softly against her hipbone...everyone looked tired, overheated, and dehydrated....a part of her was praying they found those children quickly, before she had to help any member of the away team.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::moves to get a better look at their displays:: CSO: I believe I can configure a low intensity phaser pulse from the forward array. In short enough bursts, say... 3 seconds, we might be able to control the rate of ignition.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Aye Sir. I'm working with the other ships in the Task Force to keep things going as long as we can. We'll keep fighting until we drop Sir.
SO_Archimedes says:
:: Finishes the last data set::  CSO:  Sorry, commander.  Nice idea though.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods toward Archimedes as she listens to Donovan::  CTO:  What does the CEO say to that?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@TO: How much longer do you estimate, Lt.?
SO_Archimedes says:
:: Also listening, begins to run a simulation with that data set.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_LtJG_Loral>::wipes the smirk off her face, and clears her throat:: XO: Ahem... er... another few minutes, commander We've almost... ::is cut off::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_Ens_T'Sare>::raises an eyebrow slightly:: All: I believe I have located the youths. Scans indicate 12 vital signs.
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::steps forward to the TO with the tricorder to look at the readings::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Refrains from pestering his officers for the proposed results of their alternate solutions, knowing they will answer when they are prepared ::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@::worried at the sudden cut off:: TO_Loral: Are you all right?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Keeps talking to the other CEOs as they coordinate efforts and strategy to keep the project moving forward::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_Ens_T'Sare>::tilts his tricorder so the doctor can have a look at it:: CMO: They appear to be injured or otherwise impaired.
SO_Archimedes says:
CSO:  According to the simulation, it would increase the areas reached by the phasers and speed up the process.  However, it would have the least affect near the rock closest to the core given its density and composition.  And that is too close to the core to risk it being hit with the phasers.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
SO:  Time saved?
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::nods, and glances around as she steps back by the XO:: XO: Apparent trauma, but I don't know how severe until we get in there. Vital signs are weak...but there.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CSO: I haven't run specifics by engineering as yet. Was rather hoping to determine whether or not it'd result in blowing us to hell first.
SO_Archimedes says:
CSO: Maybe 30 minutes, plus or minus 15.
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::adjusts the field med pack on her back slightly, and rests her hand on the spare one by her leg, adrenaline starting to wake her up::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::nods once:: SO: Reduce power output in the simulated pulses by 3%, and... increase duration by .5 seconds.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  According to Archimedes, the time we would save is relatively insignificant and it increases the chance of causing the explosion we are trying to avoid.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@::senses nothing is wrong with Loral and turn her attention to the CMO:: CMO: As soon as the team is through the wall, we'll proceed with caution.
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: Self: Obviously... ::looks over at the XO:: XO: I'd prefer it if you hang back a bit, just to be on the safe side...
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CSO: We're dealing with a moon that has the potential to explode inside of a week. But if we can find the appropriate formula for it, we might be able to spring a small leak. Buy us the time we need, in case we do have to regroup.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@::resists the urge to roll her eyes:: CMO: I'll be happy to bring up the rear if that makes you feel better.

@ACTION: The Away Team is slowly working its way thorough, and has tunneled through more than 50% of the blockage.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  We would be able to melt the outer strata faster, but the primary area would not.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:. For a moment, just stares at Donovan::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::raises an eyebrow a bit::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Recommends the other non-Starfleet ships evacuate the areas where their tractor equipment is located and turn off the life support to those sections. The cold of space will surely cool the equipment down and keep things from overheating::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO/SO:  The crust is like a huge thermos.  Once heated up at a specific depth, it takes a long time to cool down.  What if we modified your idea a bit.  We would heat up the area we can.  Then back off and give the ships a chance to rest.  Heat up some more and then back off.  When we reach a certain point, try the tractors again.  At that point, we should also be able to remove large chunks of rock allowing us to get deeper and use the safer method.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::ponders for a moment, then nods:: CSO: Let's run the test.
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::smirks at the XO's tone of voice:: CMO: I suppose it does. ::sighs and leans on the pack by her leg slightly::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::stops drumming her fingers on her hip again, and eyes the XO:: XO: You had water in the last thirty minutes, Commander?
SO_Archimedes says:
:: Picking up what she has in mind, has already begun inputting the parameters::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Captain... I have a small ray of hope for you. I managed to increase the tractor life on the other non-Starfleet ships by an additional 10% or so if the projections hold. We simply turned off the life support to the areas the tractors were in and started using space as a free cooling system. It's not much, but it should help.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<TO_LtJG_Loral> @All: More than half way, folks. Barring a cave-in, we'll all be home before alpha shift.

@ACTION: A sudden movement of the ground and the tons of debris above the Away Team shows that they are not out of danger.  Noise and dust cover the cave.

SO_Archimedes says:
:: smiles::  CSO/CTO:  The odds increase in our favor.  There is still the danger zone, but this process is safer for the ships involved.  It will also take anywhere from two to three hours longer.
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::moves instinctively over toward the XO as the ground moves, and covers her nose and mouth with a rag::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Captain, we have a modified idea for you.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@::opens her mouth to answer the doctor as the cave rumbles and she is covered in a shower of dust::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CEO*: Excellent.  :: Maintains the open communications channel so the CEO can overhear the next conversation ::  CSO: Go ahead, Commander So'tosh.
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::pulls out her tricorder once it stops, to check for any gases, and glances around:: TO Loral: You just had to mention a 'cave-in' didn't you?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
SO: Which will hopefully be countered by the fact this method will be giving our systems a break from the stress.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_LtJG_Loral> ::shrugs, and glances back at the doctor:: CMO: Would have probably happened anyway.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::moves back over to his console, and begins configuring the phasers... stops as information comes in, and just... stares at it for a moment or two::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::sighs, then mutters very quietly to herself:: Self: Figures I'd get stuck down here with a pessimist.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@::notices that the force fields are holding and whispers a silent prayer of thanks before speaking:: CMO: Are you all right?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO/*CEO*: Basically, we will be using phasers at low intensity in spurts.  This will heat up the moons upper strata.  The moon will then be assisting us by maintaining the heat which will slowly work on the surrounding areas.  At a given point, we could then tractor out chunks of material, giving us a better access to the denser material.
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::looks over at the XO, and nods:: XO: Yes, and you? And what about that water?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Captain, surface teams are reporting earthquakes in or near the rescue area.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO/*CEO*:  This will ease the strain on the ships engines, increase as well as increase or chances of success.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@CMO: I'm fine, nothing a good shower won't cure. As for the water, yes I have some recently.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: And the risks involved in this?
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@XO: Fantastic. Now might be a great time for more. ::smiles, eyes on the XO, as she puts away the tricorder....no serious gas leakage::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Can you determine the extent of the damage?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::keeps his attention focused entirely on his work, thus not giving himself time to worry about what's going on... he orders surface teams to standby with emergency transport just in case::
SO_Archimedes says:
CO/*CEO*/CSO/CTO:  The main concern is the rock immediately in contact with the Quasarium.  The computer is unable to factor in its density.  It could be the rock in that area has been affected by the Quasarium.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  The risk themselves are still basically the same over all.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: The damage appears to be minimal. Structure is still intact, and they're continuing.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@::grumbles under her breath as she takes a bottle of water from her pack::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO/CTO: Begin work immediately.  FCO: Signal the other vessels of our intentions so they are not caught unaware of the weapons fire.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods to Donovan to prepare while they calculate the areas and intensity::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@:;smiles at the XO, then looks over toward the TO's before she moves back to her previous spot::
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::sends messages to the other fleet members notifying them of the change in plans::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO/CSO: Already beginning phaser modifications. I'll need a few minutes.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO/CSO/CTO*: Both the Shari and the Minerva have power for phasers at your discretion. We'll need all the ships to closely monitor the tensions on the tractor beams however, so things don't spike suddenly.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::continues to enter a sequence of commands into his console, inputting the calculations as discussed moments ago::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CSO: Sending you key areas and level of intensity.

@ACTION: In the last few meters the team seems to be moving much faster. The team is almost through the rock blockage.

SO_Archimedes says:
:: smiles and quietly adds::  CSO: Personally, I think he just wants to shoot at something.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over at Donovan::  SO:  All that frustration?  Hmmm...
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::nods to Sin:: CSO: Confirmed. ::enters the information as sent by the science officers::
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
::receives acknowledgements from the Minerva and other vessels::  CO: The fleet confirms the warning Captain.  We can proceed as soon as the modifications are complete.
SO_Archimedes says:
:: chuckles::  CSO:  Calculations complete.  Time to see how this new idea works.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: Weapons are at your discretion.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::nods once as the last of the modifications are completed, and he locks them in:: All: Phasers are ready.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Puts the area in question as a thumbnail on the main screen::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@::finishes her drink and observes the progress, with any luck they'd all be out of here soon::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Gives all the other CEOs the heads-up to watch their tractor beam readings carefully and prepare to adjust as required::

@ACTION: Behind the final dust caused by the removed debris, the XO's team can finally see the path open, the lost kids should be nearby.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO: Aye sir.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_LtJG_Loral>All: I do believe we've crossed over. ::smirks slightly::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Begin.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: All the other ships Engineers have been updated and are monitoring our systems closely for changes Sir. We are ready.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
All: Beginning stage 1. ::fires off the first sequence::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::nods and picks up her spare med pack, anxious to get to the kids::

ACTION: The phasers from both Shari and Minerva hit the critical areas, slowly the heat levels of the external layers of the plug begin to increase.

SO_Archimedes says:
:: Keeps the main sensors focused within that area.::

@ACTION: The XO's team can hear coming ahead what seem like kids voices. their Tricorders readings confirm they have found all twelve of them.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: keeps a close eye on the various screens recording critical data on the situation.::
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
::carefully monitors the impulse engine output as the new strain is placed on the ship's resources::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::watches as the beams terminate when they're supposed to:: All: Phaser beams terminated.
SO_Archimedes says:
CSO:  This is almost as bad as watching a pot of water boil.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@CMO: Looks like we've almost got this. ::smiles in a relieved way::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
SO:  Why would you want to watch a pot come to boil?
SO_Archimedes says:
CSO:  Because I want it to hurry up.  But all one discovers it, it seems to take longer.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Monitors the progress from the center of the Bridge ::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::nods:: XO: Good. We need to get those kids up to the ship. Soon. ::is ready to move ahead, but waits for the TO's...this part is somewhat their show.::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
SO: But it takes no longer or shorter if you watch it.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_LtJG_Loral>::nods as their path clears:: Team: Alright, let's earn our paycheck.

@ACTION: The kids can be found in a small niche in the main cave, 100 meters behind the blockage. They are huddled around a portable light generator and they seem excited to finally see the XO's team. They are dirty, some of them bloodied, but healthy enough given the conditions. 

SO_Archimedes says:
CSO: Exactly, but if you are watching, it sure feels like forever.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Just a heads-up Captain... we are now at 100% power use.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CEO*: Understood.  We should identify non-essential power expenditures to reallocate.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Slowly starts to nod her head and then stops to shake it and give a simple shrug::  All:  Areas being hit have increased their energy intake by 7.3% over all.  Internal layer remains unaffected.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CSO: Systems have reset. Next sequence is at standby.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@::breathes a sigh of relief:: TO Loral: Begin setting up the pattern enhancers while the Doctor checks them over.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Proceed when ready.

@ACTION: While getting closer the Away Team discover the kids are LYING down close to what seems a strange coffin, seven feet tall, and made of a strange substance the tricorder believe organic. A humanoid form transpires from the coffin, as if enclosed in a ice like substance.

CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: I already shut down everything we didn't need before we started this Captain. I'm giving you the best the ship has. If we didn't get those extra generators in the refit we wouldn't be pulling this off. I'll look once more just to be sure tho.
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::follows the TO through the hole and moves over to the kids as soon as she has a path to them:: Children: We'll be getting you back to our ship soon to get taken care of. ::pulls out a tricorder and begins to triage them::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_LtJG_Loral>XO: Aye, sir. ::begins to get them out and set up::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CSO: Aye. ::fires the next round::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::as she scans them, she pulls out tags from her med pack, in case any of them are higher priority triage than the others::

@ACTION: Suddenly the cave start shaking and a powerful rumble fills Everybody's ears. Another earthquake is hitting the area. This time the tremors are much stronger than in the previous one.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  All remains within safety parameters.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Keeps monitoring systems as they try the new plan::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::curses under her breath:: Children: Gather close to me and each other. ::looks up at the XO:: XO: Are we ready yet?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_LtJG_Loral> ::finishes with the setup, and activates the units:: XO: Enhancers are online, commander.
SO_Archimedes says:
CSO: Commander, while you watch this pot boil, permission to take my break.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods::  SO:  I will let you know if anything changes or you are needed.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@*CO*: Captain, where do we need to take these kids?

@ACTION: A rock falls just a few feet from the CMO and the CHILDREN; another hits one of the security guards in the shoulder, breaking it on impact. A crack starts to appear in the ground.

CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CSO ::still staring at the readouts:: Beams have terminated, system has reset.
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::continues about her triage job as quickly as she can, tagging the ones in shock and with internal bleeding::
SO_Archimedes says:
:: Nods and stands to head off the bridge for a break::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@XO: Send us all to the Infirmary! ::continues about her triaging::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*XO*: Commander, you will have to move to a sufficient position for beam out.  We will dispatch one of the heartier civilian vessels to beam you out.

@ACTION: even if mostly covered by the noise of the quake, the Away Team can finally hear the subtle hum of all the pattern enhancers finally on.

CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_Ens_Samuels> ::screams, and drops his tricorder to hold his shoulder::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looking over the diagnostic screens and incoming sensor data.::  CTO:  Everything seems to be working.  You might want to create a team as this will be monotonous, but the monitoring is essential.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
@*CO*: We have pattern enhancers activated, have them beam us out now.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@<TO_Ens_Samuels> :tries to keep himself upright, but doesn't look to be having a whole lot of luck::
CMO_LtCmdr_Calahan says:
@::rolls her eyes at Savar's reply that she caught bits and pieces of:: Self: You've got to be kidding me....::sighs, and straightens up to look at the XO, an eyebrow raised, then bends down to put her pack back together::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Ensign, signal the San Sebastian.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CSO: I've already got that covered, commander. ::smirks a little:: You didn't think all I did down on deck 5 is sit with my feet on my desk now, did you?

@ACTION: The Away Team is beamed out right when the cave floor disappears from below their feet and tumbles down in the crack. Everyone, coffin included is Transported aboard the San Sebastian.
