Host SM_Pam says:
Vulcan is their destination according to the map, but is the prize to be had there? As the Triton approaches, the crew has begun speculating where their search will take them. They have few clues so far, only that Vulcan is the first stop on their journey.

Host SM_Pam says:
A Federation buoy on the way to Vulcan was sending out a signal that kept repeating only two words because of the severe damage. Those words....Vulcan......Fire. What can that mean?

Host SM_Pam says:
The buoy self destructed but the cause is unknown. Who would want to damage or destroy a simple communication buoy? Traces of phaser fire were found on sections of the buoy, but who's phasers?

Host SM_Pam says:
The Triton is minutes away from establishing orbit around Vulcan as our story resumes. Will they receive a pleasant welcome or be confronted with suspicion? Let's see shall we?

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTD is proud to present the USS Triton in "Scavenger Hunt"....Chapter seven....."Dante's Inferno" ...Stardate 10502.24

CSO_Ens_Peters says:
OPS: Ensign Peters Ma'am, I've been assigned as CSO, and been first ordered to help you ma'am.

Host Vulcan OPS says:
COM: Triton: This Vulcan operations. Please identify yourselves and your purpose.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
COM: Vulcan OPS: This is the Federation starship U.S.S. Triton.  We are ten minutes out from orbit.  We come on business.  Request permission to attain orbit?

CSO_Ens_Peters says:
::Steps back and listens into OPS conversation.::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
XO: I will  I have outfitted a Federation sniper rifle with a transporter beacon and will take up a post 100 meters away in camouflage.

Host Vulcan OPS says:
COM: Triton: Permission granted. You may take up standard orbit. Vulcan operations control out.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
::Extends her hand::  CSO: Welcome, Ensign.  Actually, what I will hand over to you is this project...you are to identify, against the federation star charts planets, stars, nebulas, etc along each point along this map.

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
CTO: A good plan in the sense you intend to use stealth.  You may want to consider also using the CIV's natural abilities of her race.  I want this to be fast and clean.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CSO: The map that has already been scanned into the system.  My apologies, Ensign...the map is already overlaid onto the star charts.

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
Sanchez: Very good.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::flicks an ear back towards the XO at the mention of her name but continues to concentrate on the flight::

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
XO: No doubt after her encounter she will be a known threat.

CSO_Ens_Peters says:
OPS: I think I can do that, just looking for any variances correct?

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
CSO: Ensign begin your cross-referencing of the topographical data of Vulcan against Commander Anari's analysis of the map.  I need a starting point

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CSO: No...identify any planets, stars, nebulas and the like at each point along this map...

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
CTO: If that were the case commander, I doubt she would remain in service with special ops.  There is not likely to be a Cardassian trader on Vulcan.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CSO: As you can see...   :: Points to an area on the map ::   ...this area doesn't fall anywhere near a planet or star...but there is a nebula close by

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: On Vulcan, the report of the Triton's arrival has already reached the ears of one very interested man. He accesses the console in his office and sends a message to the Triton on a coded channel

OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Receives the coded message... ::

CSO_Ens_Peters says:

OPS_Sanchez says:

CSO_Ens_Peters says:
::Hopes she isn't laughing at her insecurities and:: OPS: Last time I was a tactical officer, i was turned into a lizard, and almost mated or did mate with my crew, I’m hoping a new ship and post will be better for me,

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
XO: Aye sir...   :: Fingers touch a few buttons and the transporter sequence is initiated ::

Host Syroc says:
ACTION: A rather handsome Vulcan male appears on the transporter pad on board the Triton. He is dressed elegantly in long blue robes indicating that he is a high ranking Vulcan official

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
CIV: Very good lieutenant

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
*XO* Affirmative

CSO_Ens_Peters says:
OPS: When you have a moment, can i run something by you?

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
*CTO*: Very good please take him to the briefing room, the senior staff and I will join you there

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
Sanchez: You have the bridge

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
OPS/CIV/CSO/*CMO*: Join me in the briefing room

OPS_Sanchez says:

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
:: takes the Vulcan to the briefing room, careful not to give him a tactical advantage just to be safe::

CSO_Ens_Peters says:
OPS: The buoy, it said fire, and Vulcan. I kinda got off track, but when running them in the computer, could it be pointing to the fire plains, here in Vulcan?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Enters the briefing room as she listens to the CSO ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::The Turbo Lift stops and the doors open. She walks out and heads for the Briefing Room::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She reaches the Briefing Room and walks over to her usual seat. She takes her seat::

CSO_Ens_Peters says:
OPS: You ok?

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
Vulcan: please enter this room and take a seat

OPS_Sanchez says:
 :: Looks around the bridge at the relief officers and smiles...

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CSO: Yes...my feet are just swelling and the boots are getting tight.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~OPS: I do hope you have been following orders, E'Laina.~~~ ::She looks over her a bit from her seat::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~OPS: Mine either. ~~~ ::She continues to look at the Vulcan:: XO: We were not, sir. We both have a great deal of restraint.

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
Syroc: What did you want to speak of ?

Host Syroc says:
XO: Commander, Starfleet did not inform you about the buoy?

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::watches the Vulcan taking note of his mannerisms::

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
Syroc: No they did not.  :: grimaces :: It exploded as we tried to download data

Host Syroc says:

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She closes her eyes and then looks towards E a bit, not even able to imagine how hard it is::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Feels a tear spring to her eyes, then a slight pain in her stomach ::

Host Syroc says:

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
Syroc: Our captain is missing in action, you may address me as I am ACO by order of Starfleet command.

Host Syroc says:
:: nods :: XO: Very well Commander, then I shall begin.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::just continues to watch the Vulcan::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Quietly pants so the pain will pass... ::

CSO_Ens_Peters says:
::Monitors OPS, a little worried::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Relaxes as the pain subsides ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She looks back towards the Vulcan:: ~~~OPS: He will be found...~~~

Host Syroc says:
XO: Several days ago, a Cardassian ship arrived here. We do not know their intentions only that they were looking for something.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
:: hates how Vulcans can hide if they have an ulterior motive::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Keeping her eyes downcast, but listening ::  ~~~ CMO: I hope so ~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She assumes the same Cardassians...::

Host Syroc says:
XO: They were interested in the Fire Plains, and led a party there. After several hours they left without clearance and it was about that time that your communication buoy was damaged.

CSO_Ens_Peters says:
Self: One point for the new CSO.

FCO_Ens_Meadows says:

OPS_Sanchez says:
COM: Shuttle:  This is the U.S.S. Triton.  Please state your intentions

XO_LtCmdr_K`Vas says:
Syroc: Do your know where they led this party and could you show our CSO?  She has accessed the topographical data on your planet

FCO_Ens_Meadows says:
@COM: Triton: This Mark Meadows I am the new Flight Control Officer

Host Syroc says:
XO: The Fire Plains should be on your maps Commander. Other than that, I do not have any information for you.

OPS_Sanchez says:
