Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: paces inside the quarantine field ::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Is still passed out with the Cardassians::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::sat at his console flying the ship::

SO_Lt_York says:
::walks out of his quarters, preparing for his first shift on the Tal-War::

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::in the quarantine area in sickbay, doing his best to perform an autopsy::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
OPS: Do you think the Doc'll let them out?

SO_Lt_York says:
TL: Bridge.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@::walks over to Lt. Rayana and the amazonians::

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: looks up at the FCO :: FCO:  I don't know.  I hope so.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::checks the computer for the final results of the autopsy scans::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks up :: MO: Anything yet, Doctor?

SO_Lt_York says:
::straightens his uniform while riding the lift, hoping his CSO won't be anything like his old one....and shakes his head at being an SO again::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::grins:: OPS: Well it’s either that or.... let's go to Risa.

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: chuckles :: FCO:  I vote for Risa.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@Rayana: Any look finding Anya yet?

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
CIV: Ah'm just getting the final test results the noo, sir.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
OPS: It's better than this planet, wherever the hell we are... it doesn't look too inviting.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::checks his tricorder::

SO_Lt_York says:
::walks out onto the Bridge and surveys the classy look of an Akira command...then walks over to the central chair:: OPS: Lieutenant William York reporting for duty.

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
FCO:  No, but, we have to go down there anyway.

<SEC_Lt_Rayana>: CSO: The Amazonians are all over the tents looking for her...

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: lifts her eyebrow :: SO: Just in time Lt.  Let's get a scan of the planet below, see what you can tell me about it.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
CIV: Fae whit Ah can tell, the drugs are present in the alien's system.  But there's nae sign o' them being airborne.

SO_Lt_York says:
::nods:: OPS: Aye sir. ::hands her his transfer orders, then walks over to SCI 1::

PLANET ACTION: The Ferengi who has taken some of the ore reappears.... but is orange....

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
OPS: Assuming this is even the right place... ::looks at the new Lieutenant:: SO: Hey, which would you rather... go down there... ::points to the view screen:: or run off to Risa?

SO_Lt_York says:
::turns his chair around:: FCO: Risa.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
MO: Good. :: looks around :: Then I think it's time I get back to the bridge. Continue to study that chemical make-up, Doctor. I want to know everything we can about it and how it affects the body.

SO_Lt_York says:
::activates the SRS and starts a detailed grid scan of the planet below::

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: puts the PADD down to enter into the data base later and chuckles :: FCO/SO:  Well, we have our orders.

@<Ferengi> :: begins to itch uncontrollably ::

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
:: closes his tricorder::  CIV: Looks like we're a' clear.  For noo.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::smiles:: OPS: I'm still not sure what exactly we're doing here... and did you hear that chanting? spooky.

SO_Lt_York says:
::feels good being back at his post, and starts checking the planet for all kinds of readings::

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
FCO:  Yes, I did.  :; shivers ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@Rayana:  Well, keep up the search, I'm going to head back to our tent, see if the CMO has been found and has made any head way examining that Ferengi

SO_Lt_York says:
OPS: Scans are coming in sir.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: nods to the MO ::

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
SO:  What have you got Lt?

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::notices the shiver and feels like comforting the OPS officer but decides to remain professional and returns to his console::

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana>CSO: Aye.  ::heads off towards one of the Amazonians::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::maintains a high orbit around the planet::

ACTION: More chanting can be heard over the com line on the planet

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@::walks back to their tent where Rayana had left the Ferengi with a TO and heads inside::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::looks around as he hears the chanting again::

SO_Lt_York says:
OPS: Standard M-class planet, 3 main continents, some seismic activity in the north hemisphere. Civilization is pre-warp, no anti-matter readings. But power readings similar to a species in the same cultural range of development.

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
FCO/SO:  That is a rather unnerving sound.

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana>::walks over to the nearest Amazonian::  Amazonian: You must have found her by now?

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::drops the forcefield::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: moves toward the door and out into the corridor ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@::walks into the tent to see the Ferengi itching madly and looks down at his own orange hand::

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: nods at the SO :: SO:  That's what I was afraid of.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
All: Okay, ah'm gonnae let yous oot.  But Ah want ye's tae tell me the minute ye's feel oot o' the ordinary, understood?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Stirs a little, but then finds herself with stars in front of her eyes, and then blackness again::

SO_Lt_York says:
::thinks then why don't they just mute the blasted sound::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
<Sec Officers> :: nod to the MO :: MO: Aye, Doctor.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
OPS: First assignment out of the academy and I get sent on a mission to float around some outlying planet and listen to strange chanting

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@<Amazonian>Rayana: I believe there are just two tents more to be checked over there  ::the Amazonian leads the way and Rayana follows::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: enters a lift, then is deposited on the bridge moments later ::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Report, Lieutenant. :: moves to the centre of the bridge.

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CIV:  Sir, we are in a high altitude orbit around the planet.  Class M planet, pre warp.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Anything on the com channels?

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: shivers :: CIV:  Just more of that chanting.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@::sees that the CMO is in already in the tent:: CMO: Glad to see you awake again Doc....

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Ohhhh

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: My head,

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Don't ever let me to do this stupid thing again

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@CMO: No more bar fights for you.... anyway I need you to examine him  ::points to the ferengi::

@<Ferengi> CMO/CSO: Help me! This itching... I can't stop! Argh!

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: What the...

SO_Lt_York says:
::keeps the scans on a constant loop, then as nothing else shows up... he starts swirling his chair around::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::makes a slight correction in the ship's orbital pattern::

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana>::follows two Amazonians in to the tent they believe the CO could well be in::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks around :: SO: In the absence of your department head, I want you to prepare an away team. I want to know what's down there. :: looks back to the viewer ::

SO_Lt_York says:
::Stops his chair:: CIV: Me sir?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Is dreaming, and has no clue where she is, and what time is passing::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@CMO: Remember the ore we came to acquire, well he used it, and it seems to have some sort of cloaking properties

PLANET ACTION: The CSO's hand begins to itch as well.

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: grins over her shoulder at the SO and looks over at the FCO and winks ::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@::He automatically grabs for the side to pull out tricorder when everything passed through his head::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: turns back to Sciences :: SO: Did I stutter, Lt.?

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@::starts to scratch his hand:: CMO: The same happened to my hand......

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: He is heppy not to see his inside out.

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: stifles a chuckle ::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::stifles a chuckle::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Let me see that.

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana>::looks around the tent, which has the stench of Cardassians::

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Not that I heard sir. You might check with the doctor. ::nods:: I'll get right to it.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@::He takes tellar medical tricorder that he has acquire, a little round shaped device::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@::puts his hand up to the Doc:: CMO: It seems when the affected part reappears it turns orange, I need you to examine him asap....

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: sits in the Command chair ::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@:: He looks at the Ferengi:: CSO: I will but I advise no scratching.

SO_Lt_York says:
::logs off his console and walks over to the CIV:: CIV: Commander, being this is my first shift, I am unsure as to which members you want as an away team. ::Stands stiff::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Do we know a origin of that ore?

@< Ferengi > CMO: Easy for you to say.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@Ferengi: Well I could always tie you up if you like that way,

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@CMO: I made some scans with this ::grabbing his non-SF tricorder and giving a knowing sigh that he wished he had his standard issue one which would be more use::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Hmm interesting.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: I assume that there is a slight effect of some sort of radiation in it.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks up to the SO, then stands :: SO: Then perhaps you need to go back to the Academy and retake Basic Command Structuring, Lieutenant. :: shhakes his head as he hits his combadge ::

SO_Lt_York says:
OPS: Lieutenant, you're with me I guess.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*MO*: Trelan to sickbay.

SO_Lt_York says:
::grins at the CIV thinking this is going to be fun::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
SO: You'll probably want a pilot too.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CIV* Cameron here.

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO: And I guess you're my golden boy? Okay come along. ::walks to the TL::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*MO* Doctor, I need a medic to join an away mission. Meet Lieutenant York in transporter room one.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::secures his console and walks to the turbo lift::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@CMO:  I can only speculate that it has some effect on the space around the affected person....

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: moves from her station as the duty OPS takes her place :: SO:  Aye Lt.  :: follows ::

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CIV* Aye, sir.  :;grabs a medkit and makes his way out to the Transporter Room.::

SO_Lt_York says:
TL: Transporter Room 1. ::waits for the other two to join him::

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana>::she sees a area closed off by a drape towards the far back of the rather large tent and walks towards it::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Well slight dosage I think. ::Looks at Ferengi reaction on there talk::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::stands by the OPS Officer and smiles::

SO_Lt_York says:
::looks at both of them as the TL doors close and the lift starts moving::

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::makes his way to the Transporter Room::

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO/OPS: Golden boy, I want you to take point down there. Goldie locks here ::motions for the OPS:: you handle scanners.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@CMO: Do you think it could be fatal?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: There is not to be worry as only is on the hand, but when you have that on your body as well I think that it will bring some inducement.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::looks to the SO, then at OPS and finally back to the SO::

SO_Lt_York says:
::looks at the door and waits::

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana>::Pulls out her non-SF phaser, worried that Cardies may well be about::

@<Cardassian> :: exits from behind the drapery, almost running into the Security officer ::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Like decreased need for sexual activity,

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: lifts her eyebrow :: SO:  You need your eyes examined Science Boy.

SO_Lt_York says:
::doesn't reply, and walks out of the TL as it comes to a halt::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Lets look Ferengi and we could find out if there is something to worry about.

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana>::moves to the side as the Cardy walk out and points her phaser at him:: Cardy: Don't move

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: thinks this going to be interesting ::

SO_Lt_York says:
::steps into TR1:: All: Phasers at stun.

PLANET ACTION: The Ferengi's middle torso disappears again, leaving only his head and legs visible.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::gesture for OPS to step out first with a smile::

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: smiles at the FCO and exits the lift ::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Is still unconscious, due to lack of oxygen, and a blow to the head::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::follows OPS to the Transporter room::

SO_Lt_York says:
::opens the armament closet and takes out three hand phasers and three tricorders:: All: We don't have all day. ::hands them their equipment::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@::notices part of the Ferengi disappear again::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@CMO: I need some answers already Doc...., what they hell is going on?

@< Cardassian > :: lifts hands slowly at the sight of the phaser :: Rayana: :: smiling :: I was wondering when I would get my "special attention" I was promised... And so forceful. :: grins wider ::

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: rolls her eyes at the SO and takes the weapon and tricorder, setting the phaser to stun, thinking she could just as easy push the button and have the SO laying unconscious and smiles to herself at the thought ::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@::He begins to scan inner electrical activity between skin part of visible and invisible joint.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::takes his phaser and tricorder and steps up onto the pad::

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana>::the two Amazonians move towards the back of the tent towards Rayana:: Cardy: I'm looking for a friend of mine, if you don't play nice I'm sure these two ladies would love to play with you, they do like men.....

SO_Lt_York says:
::steps onto the pad:: All: Where's our doc?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: If I stand correct there is some need that ore accumulate energy from the body to it self.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
SO: Probably on his way.

SO_Lt_York says:
::sighs then taps his badge::*CIV*: York to Commander Trelan, we are waiting for the doctor. Once he arrives we are ready to leave.

@<Cardassian> Rayana: And what does this... friend.... look like?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Then it changes molecular balance of the skin cells, but..

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: mumbles under her breath :: Self:  If he were up your butt you'd know it.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
SO: Ah'm already here, sir.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: It has to be absorbed into the body to have complete effects.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@CMO: It draws it's energy directly from the user, what condition is he in then?

SO_Lt_York says:
::looks up at a man standing in the corner:: MO: Then what are you doing there? Grab a phaser and join us.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::smiles assuming that he heard the OPS officer's mumble correctly::

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
SO: Aye, sir.  ::takes a phaser and steps onto the pad::

ACTION: The small away team from the Tal beam down to the Assassin's planet, materializing in a thick cover of foliage. In the distance, the chanting can be heard, as if some ritual is taking place.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: That scraching is one of the part, it irritates skin so you could scratch it.

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO: Take point. ::turns to the OPS:: OPS: Anything on sensors?

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
OPS: Oh great... there's that damn chant again!

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Making static energy.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::heads slowly off in the direction of the chant::

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::takes out his tricorder and scans::

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: shushes the FCO and scans with her tricorder ::

SO_Lt_York says:
::motions for the team to follow and raises his phaser::

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana> Cardy: Well she's female, so high ::indicates Anya's stature:: brunette  ::the two Amazon's move to the side of the cardassian:: I get the feeling you've seen her

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: lowers her voice :: SO:  About 70 yards that way, a group of humanoids.  It's where the chanting is coming from.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@::He begunes to scan Ferengi for electro magnetic field of any sort::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::slowly leads the team through the foliage::

@<Cardassian> Rayana: I've seen many people on this planet. :: shrugs :: It would be so hard to distinguish one from another.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@CMO: So do you in your medical opinion think he will survive?

SO_Lt_York says:
OPS: Any way we can get to them unnoticed?

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
SO:  With all this foliage, I'm sure we can sneak up there without being seen.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
SO: I think these plants should give us some cover.

PLANET ACTION: The Ferengi's torso reappears, just for his head to disappear

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Well if he pay's up enough gold pressed latinum I will surely give my self to that task.

SO_Lt_York says:
All: Good, can you scan for comm. badges?

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana> ::decides she has no time for this banter and goes to walks straight past the Cardassian into the draped off area, keeping her phaser trained on him, she indicates to the amazons who move in towards him::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@::Caches that moment with his hand scanner::

AT ACTION: Ten meters away is a large clearing... the "foliage" stops

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: nods and begins to scan ::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::stops at the edge of the foliage and peeks out::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@::looks back at his hand and tries to resist itching, he walks over and grabs the ore using a piece of cloth:: CMO: Would it be safe enough to risk using this again? ::thinks about their mission objective::

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
SO:  Only com badges are ours Lt.

SO_Lt_York says:
OPS: Good, then we can fire without hesitation. ::smiles::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Well I am not shure but if we can get back to an appropriate medical facility, sure I could fix it.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
SO: Just remind me what our orders are again.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: But scratching will probably stayed.

PLANET ACTION: Rayana finds the CO bound in one corner of the tent.

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana> ::the Amazon on the right moves in and grabs the Cardassian the other moves in from the front:: Cardy: Have fun with the ladies, they don't bite much ::Rayana pulls back the drape and looks in::

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO: Investigate the assassins, this is a pre-warp society...but somehow they got onto DS9.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: I could only get it slightly down, But the body is amazing thing and finds a better way to push something out from it self.

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: nods ::

SO_Lt_York says:
::turns back to the OPS:: OPS: Are they carrying weapons?

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
SO: So now only do we have to find out who the assassins are but we've gotta do it without being seen.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@CMO: So you think you could cure me if I were to use this on my whole body?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Is vaguely aware of commotion around her, and movement::

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
SO:  Not conventional weapons as we know them, but, yes they have a means of defence.

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana>::sees the CO bound in the corner and checks around the area for other Cardies::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: For you I will do it with no expenses but Ferengi will have to pay.

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
SO: Crude spears, knives and bow and arrows.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: And only in proper facility.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
SO: I'm going to try and move round... see who they're all chanting about.

SO_Lt_York says:
::nods:: All: Alright, for now we stay here. See what they are up to. We are outnumbered and in enemy territory. ::nods to FCO::

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO: Stay out of sight.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
@CSO: Yes I think that I can heal you back.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::looks down at his uniform:: SO: I don't think you need to remind me how much I stick out like a sore thumb.

AT ACTION: Suddenly, out of nowhere, five spear heads poke out of the surrounding foliage, each pointed at an away team member

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
@CMO: Damn this to hell, ::places the ore in his pocket::  right then Doc, we need to see some Ferengi about some ore

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
All: YIPE!

SO_Lt_York says:
::looks up calmly::

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::starts as he suddenly sees a spear pointed at him::

@<SEC_Lt_Rayana>::kneals down and unties the CO:: CO: Anya, are you okay?

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
All:  Sh...  :: shakes her head ::

SO_Lt_York says:
::places his phaser on the ground and stands up::

<Camdarn> AT: It would be much simpler if you were to not move.....
