<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume TW Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Is sitting in the 'Big Chair' tm on the bridge::
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::beaming down at the designated coordinates::

ACTION: As the AT materialises inside the caverns, their hand lights reflect upon the crystalline structure of the caves... it appears as if they support the corridors...

EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Still trying to get the phaser arrays to get aligned properly.::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: He walks out of his new quarters fully prepared to meat his new captain::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::Appearing with his phaser rifle to his shoulder::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He enters TL:: Computer: Bridge please.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
<Computer> CMO: Acknowledged.
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CTO*: Report...Do you receive me?
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::setting tricorder as instructed to look for the source of the transmission::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::After few minutes the doors of TL opens and he. He stops in front of the TL exit ant take big breath::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Self: Ok, well where I could find captain, ah in the chair of course.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He walks toward to CO place on Bridge::
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
CTO: The signal is weak but I think I have something. Maybe not enough to help us find our way in this maze, though...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::hears the CO on his COM badge along with increasing amounts of static and backs up a few steps:: *CO*: Go ahead Captain.
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Looks over to his side as he thinks he hears someone calling and accidentally shifts his hands slightly to the left as he continues to press buttons... some buttons.:: Out loud: Hello? Whele ale you? Anybody out thele?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Captain, Lt. Jovan Brabas reports to duty,
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
COMM: *CTO*: Report on your situation. What do the caverns appear to be constructed of?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He waits a second::
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::glances at the team then back at the tricorder and goes a little further along to test her readings::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::turns to the OPS:: OPS: What have you got Renee?

ACTION: As the EO pushes multiple buttons his harsh voice can be heard loudly over the bridge's internal speakers...

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Holds up one hand to the new officer, gesturing him to wait whilst she finishes her conversation::
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Jumps at the random voice heard over the intercom::
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
Out loud: Helloohoo?? Can anyone heal me?
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
CTO: I'm getting some faint energy readings, Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Abruptly jabs at some panels at her station, and sends out a ship wide announcement::  *EO*: This is the Captain.  To whoever just sent the last announcement, please refrain from doing so except in emergencies
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::nods:: OPS: Renee... can you tell what these caves are carved in?
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Turns to the new officer:: CMO: You must be Ensign Brabas.  Welcome to the Tal-War.  Have you acquainted yourself with Sickbay yet?
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Hearing nobody reply, he begins to work on his console again.:: Self: I wish we would get mole things to do on this ship, like mole holo time. We'le wolking all the time.... ::hears the captain:: *CO*: I am solly captain, what do you mean?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Ahhh sir as I always said I don’t care about ranks.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: but just for the record I am Lt.
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@CTO: Some highly refractive material Sir, as you can see. This is the cause of our problems in scanning the place.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: and no I didn't had time to see Sick bay yet:: Smiles::
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*EO*: So we have a confessor.  Please do not use the ship wide comm. announcement unless you have something urgent to convey
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: And thank you for welcoming note, it is good to be here. ::stops for second:: Sir.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::nods again:: *CO*: Not sure exactly what it is Cap'n but it's highly refractive and is gonna give us some trouble with our scans.
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Smiles slightly at Brabas:: CMO: You can call me Captain
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: As do you Jovan or Doctor. Captain.
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::gets closer to a wall to examine it:: CTO: This... crystalline cover is about 20 centimetres thick at the most, I should say.
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Looks around then on his console and notices the COM systems are open throughout the ship indeed.:: *CO*: Solly captain, solly ::bows a few times accidentally knocking over his cup of tea, which eventually lands on his console, providing it with lovely sparkles.:: Vely vely solly captain. Whoops.
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CTO*: Do what you can.  We need to fulfil these mission orders, and sooner rather than later considering our return journey time
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Her smile slightly lessens at Brabas::  CMO: Thank you for the option, but I shall call you Lt, or Brabas until the circumstances change
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@*CO*: Aye Captain, We'll scout the caves and gather what data we can then update you next time we're not in a Comms black spot.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Captain, as I hear , do I have to find my self a nurse for young EO.
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Is a little amused at the forwardness of the 'Doctor' to his new Captain::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: If you wish. It is your right to chose, Captain.
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Shakes her head::  CMO: A slight misunderstanding I believe.  Mister Massimoto is fine
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::completes her scan of the structure:: CTO: This looks very much artificial to me, Lieutenant.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Smiles::
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CTO*: Understood. Jameson out
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Closes the transmission with the AT::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::Nods to OPS:: OPS: Do you have a weapon?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Can I ask something from you?

ACTION: As the EOs tea makes its way into the console, large sparks leave the console... at the same time the lights go off on the bridge... leaving it in a complete dark state....

OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@CTO: Standard AT recon kit, Sir. ::frowns a little::
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CMO: Within reason Lt
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: As a new CMO on this ship I like to appoint a meeting with all crew for physical.
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Sighs as the lights go out::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: and it would be best if you...
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Captain of this ship is first in line.
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Jumps backwards as the sparks get more intense.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Taps her COM badge::  *EO*: Mister Massimoto, care to inform me why we have lost lighting on the bridge, even grey alert lighting
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: So to take this moment ... and... Make appointment...
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: As to all crew I like to see what is they shape.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: Good, it looks like we're going to have to scout these caves the old fashioned way. Now where was that signal you picked up?
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CMO: Once this current dilemma has been sorted, we will talk about what you require from the crew as chief medical officer
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: off course after mission.
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::leads the way into the tunnels but remains wisely behind the Tactical officer::

ACTION: As the AT makes their way through the corridors they can see a faint lighting at the end of the corridor....

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Continues to look around, her eyes becoming accustomed to the dark::
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Begins to stutter.:: *CO*: Solly again captain... I plobably think that would be... the lesults of my... tea inside my console. Captain. ::Starts to look for something to extinguish the sparks in his console.::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO:: I hope that this does not happen so often, in sick bay.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::signals for the AT to stop:: OPS: Can you get any scans?
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Feels herself tense up::  *EO*: Tea...on the console....
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: If I can I would like to meet my part of the crew in Sick bay.
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Hears the captain... carefully pronounce those words:: *CO*: ...
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CMO: If you can find your way to the TL, feel free Lt
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Until later captain.
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@CTO: Same as before, a faint energy signature and obviously there's light at the end of this tunnel ::smiles::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He walks back to the TL and enters it::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Computer: Sick bay, please.
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::As the sparks become less he quickly heads over to the console to check up on the damage.::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
<Computer>CMO: Acknowledged,
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: Maybe they're the same thing... ::signals the AT to use extreme caution:: ...Let's move on.

ACTION: As the AT arrives at the lighted part of the corridor they can see it leads to a bridge over  a room several meters below it....

EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::quickly moves over to another console close by, nearly tripping over his empty teacup and brings up damage control.::
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@CTO: What makes me curious is how the signal could go through if it came from here? ::sees the bridge and comes to a dead stop::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::he walks through short part of the corridor and enters Sick bay::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::gestures the team to stay put while he slowly approaches the bridge and peers over the side::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He just throws fast look around and do not talks to any one but just passes to the Office::
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::Doesn't know if she feels more curious than scared or the other way around::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: Walks to the replicator:: Computer: Flower juice.
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::through damage control, he is able to quickly restore full power to the lights on the bridge.::  *CO*: Captain? Can you please confilm you have light back on the blidge?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::As it appears he takes a deep breath from aroma that begins to spread around::

ACTION: As the CTO glances over the bridge's left side he can see a large room below him... a considerable heat is coming from large furnaces that melt some sort of metal that several workers seem to be carrying...

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::as he takes firs sip from the glass he sits in the chair at CMO console and activates it::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Computer: Please acknowledge all medical staff to report in one hour, for staff meeting.

ACTION: As the EO tries to restore light on the bridge the opposite happens... artificial gravity is lost on the bridge... sending the entire bridge crew flying....

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::signals to Renee:: OPS: pssst... come take a look at this.
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::whispers:: What do you see down there, Sir?
Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Is sent floating in the air, not for the first time in the last few months::
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::tiptoes along the wall to join the CTO and looks at the scene:: CTO: It looks like a small refinery here...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: Don't know about you... but this lot looks almost pre-warp to me.
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::ducks for another salvo of sparks coming from the console next to him.:: Self: Hai... I need to get that console off line. It dlives me clazy with those spalks.
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@CTO: I'm not quite sure Sir, setting up a refinery with all the trimmings would be a huge effort if you only needed so much to be done. I wonder, where do they extract the base material? And what are they going to do with it?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: You don't think the ore they're smelting is mined from these caves do you?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He enters new info on the computer for reminder,::
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::feels like slapping herself and smiles weakly in answer while clinging to her tricorder for reassurance::
OPS_LtJG_Santos says:
@::dignified tone:: CTO: What I meant is that we haven't found any signs of digging thus far, Sir. But I quite agree of course.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He types I need to make appointments for all senior staff for physical evaluation in short time::

ACTION: As the backup systems kick in, the EOs console comes to life once again....  as a result the lights on the bridge go on again as well as the artificial gravity... as a result of that, the CO hits the floor... quite harsh I might add....
