Prologue:
The Triton has arrived at the planet Alvaron.  Scans indicate no humanoid life signs on the planet, however the planet appears to be rich with other animal, plant and insect life.  Sensors have picked up atmospheric turbulence, and an abnormal amount of radiation is detected in the atmosphere.
 
Three probes have been launched to gather information on the atmosphere and planet.  An Away Team is taking a Type 8 shuttle and the Oracle to the planet's surface.  What information will the probes send back?  And will the shuttles get to the planet in one piece or will they succumb to the radiation and atmospheric turbulence?
 
Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in … “Viva Forever” … Chapter Two … “Bite Me…” … Stardate 10606.08

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  Initiate preflight check.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::reading a check list of all the material brought on the shuttle:: XO: Everything is on board it seems. Science team ready to depart.

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: nervously sitting at operations waiting for the Captain to clear the away teams ::

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
CSO:  Very well.  Continue to run continuous scans of the surface for any human life signs, standard search patterns, once we are underway.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: walking around the bridge using his cane :: *XO*: Status commander

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::finishes his preflight check:: XO: Bet you to it sir I'm done

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
*CO*:  Sommers to Captain K'Vas, requesting permission to depart.  Our team is ready.
 
ACTION: As Commander Mrlr attempts to power up the Oracle, several lights begin blinking....  Warning messages blare inside the ship, forcing Mrlr to shut it down.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
,Beat.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
Dr. Khan: Nazish, please man the spectrographic analyzer and the lidar.  Ensign Burke: Frank, make sure all the equipment is stowed safely, we may have a bumpy ride.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*XO*: Permission granted commander

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Launch the support craft and shuttle

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: nods and taps the console :: CO: Aye sir, launching the shuttle and support craft.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::fires up the thrusters and lifts the shuttle of the deck::

XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  Shuttle bay is depressurizing, space doors opening.   Initiate code launch sequence.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
*XO/Mrlr*: You are go for launch.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
XO: I am trying to establish a comm. link with the probe on the planet. That should give us more data Ma'am.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::humming a little ditty::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: I’m getting warning light all across the board.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: From where commander, what systems?

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Sir, I am getting an alert from the Oracle.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::walks back into her office still humming the Song of Kahless::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::moves the shuttle into position and engages impulse engines::

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: I confirm Mr. Ray's observation.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::adjust itself on the seat:: Self: Man! I love this missions, my second favorite thing in the Universe.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Initiate computer override and shut down all systems on the Oracle

XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
::Nods to the CSO.::
 
OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Aye sir, shutting down the Oracle's systems.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
ALL: I hope no one had anything to eat lately

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: Commander we have system failures on the Oracle.  I have scrubbed it from mission, find out what is wrong with it and get that ship flyable

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  I did, but I have a strong stomach.  ::Grins.:: I think.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CEO: can you confirm a problem?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
FCO: You would imagine that at this age they invented something against seasickness, instead, here we are, ready to become green.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
XO: I hope so sir because I'm not cleaning up behind you

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*XO*:Commander Sommers the Oracle has system wide failures, that ship will not be laughing with you

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CEO*:Already out the door sir.  ::picks up the tool kit and the PADD that has the new ships specs on it::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
CSO: We?

Ens. Burke says:
 CSO: Sir, all is well stowed in the cargo hold.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CTO*: Won't know till I get there sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::brings the shuttle out of the shuttle bay and heads toward the planet

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@*CO*:  Understood Captain.  We have a go here.  We are proceeding to the planet.  We'll let you know when we touch down.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*XO*: Understood...K`Vas out

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: You already have a slight tint. ::grins:: Burke: Good ensign, and if we lose something I will consider you responsible, now sit down and enjoy the ride. ::grins more widely::

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@FCO:  Who said I was going to do it behind me?  I'm facing you.  ::Smiles.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::steps into the TL:: Computer: Shuttle Bay one.

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: checks the shuttle's status :: CO: Captain, the shuttle has cleared the Triton.
 
@ACTION:  The turbulence and radiation knock out the navigational sensors on the Away Team's shuttle.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: Mr. Ray once the shuttle is clear of the ship and the bay secure take us to Yellow Alert

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::tries to hold the shuttle steady:: CSO: I just lost navigational sensor can you see what you can do about that?

ACTION:  Commander Mrlr receives a comm. from security that her daughter, Amanda, is trapped inside a ventilation tube just outside sickbay.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::exits the TL and enters the shuttle bay::

XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@FCO:  Looks like you're going to have to do this blindly, Commander.  Try setting up a dielectric field to protect us from the turbulence.  Modulate shield frequencies and redirect power to the shields.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::tries to slow the shuttle decent::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: We may need to recalibrate, let's see. ::starts running a diagnostic to see if the problem is caused by the radiation interference::
 
CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
Self: Hm nice looking ship.  ::walks into her and begins the ususal diagnostics::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@ALL: Everyone hang on we are going in ::tries to get out of the clouds to get a visual::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::still singing the song of Kahless she works diligently and finds the problem::

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@FCO:  Don't have to tell me twice.  ::Holds on tightly.::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
FCO: It's the radiation, I will try to recalibrate to adjust for the excessive millirems.

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CSO:  Are you able to get navigational sensors back online?  Else, we may need to abort.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::looks around for a landing zone::

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Captain, the shuttle is experiencing a lot of turbulence according to my sensors.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*XO* what is your status?

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir Problem found and it is very simple.  The launch code sequence was set for the UP and not for the Triton.  Since the frequencies didn't match the core would not stabilize a field.  I have corrected the problem and she should be ready to go.
 
FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: How long Enrico?

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@*CTO*:  Commander, the turbulence and radiation have taken out our navigational sensors.  Lt. Polo is attempting to recalibrate the sensors.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@XO: I am trying, but I need a good reading of the radiations first, and in these conditions is not easy.
 
@ACTION:  The shuttle ride is bumpy and tosses the away team around in the shuttle like rag dolls, but the CSO manages to get the correct data on the radiation to recalibrate the sensors.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Mr. Meadows in one of the best pilots in the fleet.  The shuttle is in capable hands lieutenant

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: hopes that Mark can handle the shuttle through that mess ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*XO*: Please keep in touch Commander. Triton out

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: I got the data, I am recalibrating now.

@ACTION:  The probes pass through the radiation in the atmosphere and start to record data.  High levels of radiation are being recorded from two of the probes.  The third probe is headed to the planet's surface.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Of course sir, I wasn't really all that worried. :: smiles but lies with conviction ::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: You are treating the symptom not the problem commander.  If the frequencies are not compatible then the warp drive may have to be cold started

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Sir, I have telemetry coming in from the probes.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@::struggles to press the right keys to connect his station to the probe that landed::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: On screen

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Already thought of it sir.  Doing the checks now sir.
 
 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: taps the controls :: CO: On screen sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::points to a spot:: XO: Sir that could be a good spot to land

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::scans the warp core itself and the frequencies as well just to be safe::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@Burke: Hey you, turn around do not puke on the good Doctor!!!

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Captain, radiation levels in the atmosphere are off the scale.
 
ACTION:  The frequencies of the Oracle are not compatible with her warp drive, and the shuttle does not start.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*Engineering*: How we doing on the radiation interference?

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
Self: Augusfratt!!

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: begins watching the feeds from the probes ::  OPS: Can we ascertain how far down the radiation goes, does it reach the planet
 
 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Waiting on the data from the third planetary probe Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir I have to recalibrate the core to the frequencies of the Oracle.

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@FCO:  Agreed.  Let's put her down, and have a look around.
 
CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: How distant are we from the city?

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::starts to bring the shuttle down to the land zone::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: As soon as you have it, put the information on screen
 
@ACTION:  CSO's console is receiving a direct link from the probe data.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@XO: Ma'am I have a link with the probe, and I am starting to download data.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: I was advisor on that ship, I thought you were in for more than you expected.  Put your best effort into getting that ship ready for launch

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Telemetry from the probe on screen...you can see that only the atmosphere appears to be contaminated.

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CSO:  Are you receiving data from the probe that set down on the planet?

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::starts to slow the shuttle and prepare for landing::
 
ACTION:  Long range scanners detect 3 large unidentified vessels that appear to be heading for the planet Alvaron.  They are about 5 days away.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir you will have your lady the Oracle ready.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Does it pose a threat to the away team

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@XO: Aye, I am getting telemetry.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::takes out the PADD with the captain's specs and begins to work on the core and the UP frequencies::

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Not at this time sir.

  @ACTION:  The Away Team's shuttle lands safely on the planet, just outside town.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::starts to shut down systems:: CSO: Can the suits handle the radiation?

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Takes a deep breath as the shuttle sets down.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir this is going to take about three hours but you don't have three hours so I get it done for you in say  90 minutes tops.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@XO: Nothing new from the probe on the planet. The other two seem affected by the radiations. FCO: We are safe on the surface, no need of suits here.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: long range scanners have just picked up 3 incoming vessels

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@*CTO*:  Sommers to Triton.  We have landed safely on the planet.  We are going to have a look around.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: Class and type Mr Ray

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::grabs a phaser from under his console and puts it on his hip:: ALL: Then lets go for a walk

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@FCO:  Secure the shuttle, and let's go have a look around.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@Burke: Start retrieving your equipment. Scanner set on anything biologic if you see one of the locust i want to record its genome.

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: looks at the sensor readout as well :: CO: Three contacts confirmed sir.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@XO: Commander are we going all together or do you prefer to split in groups?

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::finishes shutdown and locks the consoles::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::moves to the back and grabs a tricorder::

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Equips herself with a phaser and a scanner.::  CSO:  For now, we will stay together.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Unknown
 
CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*XO: Go ahead AT.
 
CMO Morgan says:
@ ::Equips himself with a med kit, scanner, and phaser.::  XO:  I'm ready.

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@*CTO*:  We'll keep you posted.  Sommers out.

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@AT:  Everyone ready?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@XO: Understood:: nods then takes a phaser, and a tricorder:: Khan: You take the geological kit please.

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Sir, they are still about five days out from Alvaron 

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::retests the frequencies and they appear fine but the core still won't start::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: I have 3 inbound ships, I need the Oracles eyes up and in the sky

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@XO: Aye ma'am.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Understood.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@ XO: I'm all set sir

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: The AT has landed safely and doing recon.

XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@FCO:  Then let's open the hatch and have a look around.  ::Smiles.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: That should give the CEO to get the Oracle online and us to gather some intel before those ships are on us

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::moves to the back, opens the hatch and steps out::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: Do your best to keep a lock on them

@ACTION:  The shuttle has landed just outside the outskirts of town.  Large fields of crops can be seen, which appear to be overgrown and unkempt.  The crops have an extra large appearance, and the vegetables have an odd shape to them, almost as if they have mutated.  Mountains can be seen in the distance.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: nods :: CO: I sure hope so sir.

XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Points to the town.::  ALL:  Let's head in that direction.  It looks as good as any place to start.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
Self: Wait a sec, it is a Utopia Planitia frequency ok so.....hm.......:: changes the frequencies again but to the federation ones from the Triton and runs another diagnostic::

XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Pulls out her scanner and begins to scan the plant life as she walks toward the center of the city.::  ALL:  Let's start at the center of the city and make a survey of the area.  ::Starts to walk toward the center of the town.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::opens his tricorder and starts to scan as the move to the town::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@::takes reading with the tricorder on the field::

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@CSO:  What do you make of those vegetables?  Talk about feeding an army, huh?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@XO: Oh yes, unless something mutated them, they may start singing any moment for all we know so far. ::smiles::

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@ALL:  I would say for now, we will not be eating these vegetables.  We'll stick to rations.  I hope everyone brought a healthy supply.  Who knows how long we'll be down here.

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: gets a message from Commander Mrlr :: CO: Sir, I have a message from Commander Mrlr......something about her daughter being stuck.

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: She is requesting assistance.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@XO: Too bad I always wanted a third arm. And horns!!! ::shouts:: Burke: Ensign stay close to the rest of the team!!!

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@XO: Maybe we could put them in the brig sir ::smiles::

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Continues to walk toward town, studying and categorizing the vegetables as they go.::  FCO:  These veggies are huge.  I think this one is corn.  ::Points to it without touching it.  It is round instead of oblong.::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: shakes head and growls something about children and leashes :: OPS: Tell her help is one the way and have engineering send some personnel

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@XO/FCO: Those veggies are definitively mutates, look at this sequence in the DNA. They can tap too I believe.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: I’ll send a crewman down to help.
 
@ACTION:  The Away Team arrives at the center of the town.  The city appears to be deserted.  The town consists of several 3-story buildings which appear to be the housing complex of the town.  A large medical and science building can be seen.

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Right away sir. :: sends Mrlr the message ::

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Continues to scan the area for life signs.::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: Excellent Mr. Ray

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@XO: Sir I suggest we head to that science building over there
 
@ACTION:  A group of locust begin to fly overhead and start to swarm around the AT's heads.  A locust lands on Sam's arm and stings her.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::runs another diagnostic::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@:: stays close to the XO:: FCO: I agree.

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Swats the locust with her hand.::  Out Loud:  Ouch!    FCO:  Darn bugs!  Where'd they come from!

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@::waves at the doctor to come here and help. ::XO: Sam let me see ::starts scanning the bugs::

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
*CEO*: Commander, we need a team to the ventilation tube outside sickbay. Commander Mrlr's daughter is caught inside.
 
@ACTION:  One of the locusts land on the CSO's head and starts to make a nest.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: I believe I have fixed the problem.  The frequencies were not deleted by Utopia Planita before the Oracle was transferred to the Triton.  Once transferred the frequencies were not deleted and the Tritons frequencies entered into the warp core of the Oracle.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::pulls his phaser and sets it to wide heavy stun:: XO: Not sure sir but lets get out of here
 
@ACTION:  A huge welt starts to appear on Sam's arm where the locust stung her.  The XO starts to get pale, dizzy and lightheaded.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::starts to fire at the bugs::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@Burke: I want a reading of those locus.....ewwww:: shoos the locust away and takes Sam in his arms::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Let's move out of here...it is too dangerous. AT: Back at the shuttle now!!!

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Understood sir.  Self: Doesn't any one thing to call engineering before calling me?

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::looks around and sees the XO:: XO: Sir are you alright?

CMO Morgan says:
@ ::Notices Sam starting to sway and get wobbly.::  XO:  Sam, sit down.  ::Pulls out a medical tricorder and starts to scan her.::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: Well done, I recommend a cold start.  If you have any doubts of the power of that core stable or otherwise think of a Defiant class

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Starts to scratch the area where she was stung.::  ALL:  I don't .. feel well.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: I am getting odd signs on Commander Sommers bio signs

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@AT:  We have to get out of here

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@:: Takes his phaser out and sets it on wide beam:: FCO: Let's cover them. ::starts shooting at the locusts:;

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*EO Jones*: I got a little job for you.  Take a team and please gently remove the CIV's daughter from the Ventilation shaft out side of sickbay please?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: Can she be beamed into the isolation ward in sickbay?

XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Sits down on the ground and is having trouble breathing.::  ALL:  I think I'm having .. an .. ::her head starts to spin:: .. allergic reaction to ..

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir already beat you to it. Core is warming up nicely.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::listens as the core is warming::

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
<EO Jones>*CEO*: Understood sir.

@ACTION:  The locust detect the wide beam phaser blast and leave before any of them are hit.  They head off toward the field of crops.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Unknown with all the radiation I wouldn't risk it.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@Burke: Get me a darn reading on those locusts, I want to know what kind of venom they are. Doctor: What is the problem Daniel?

 XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Looks at Rico and is barely able to speak.::  CSO:  Rico, you're in charge here.  Find out what happened to the scientists.  ::Falls over on the ground, her eyes begin to roll to the back of her head.::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*Away team*: Report

CMO Morgan says:
@ ::Pulls out a hypo spray for the allergic reaction and injects her with it.::  XO:  Sam, look at me.  ::Taps her on the face.::  Stay with me, Sam!

Jenny says:
  :: bounces along the corridor following Mr. Jones :: Jones :: Hiya mister. Where ya going huh?

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::holds his phaser up looking around:: Morgan: Can she be moved?

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir EO Jones and a team will be there shortly to extract her daughter.
 
@ACTION:  The XO is non-responsive to the treatment.  Her vital signs are slipping away.
 
CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@*CO*: Captain the Exec: has been stung by a locust, she is having an allergic reaction. I request an immediate beam up for her and the doctor.
 
CMO Morgan says:
@CSO:  I need to get her back to the ship, or she will die.  ::Taps his comm. badge.::  *Triton*:  Doctor Morgan to Triton.  Medical emergency.   Two to beam directly to sickbay.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: Very good

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
*Morgan*: Triton here. Understood.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: I thought sensors said that there was no life signs

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: hears the incoming comm. :: OPS/CTO: We don't have an option, energize

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Only insects, and of course they are more than deadly.
 
ACTION:  A transport beam grabs the XO and the Doctor to transport her back to the ship.  The Doctor beams directly to sickbay, but Sam's transporter signature is having trouble stabilizing.  The beam tries to rematerialize her, but she is appearing and disappearing before the doctor's eyes.
 
@ACTION:  A storm begins to set over the town, the skies turn gray, winds begin to pick up, and bolts of lightening begin to light up the sky.  Large raindrops begin to fall, and the temperature begins to drop drastically.  A streak of lightening hits one of the 3-story condos sending debris toward the away team and causing a fire to the building.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Let's head back to the shuttle, we need something to defend ourselves from the poison.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir Oracle warp core is stable and online.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*CMO*: Dr. report!

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Sir, Dr. Morgan and Commander Sommers have been beamed to sickbay.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
*CO*: Captain I would recommend that the XO be held in quarantine since we don't know what the bug that stung her has done

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CSO*: Already being done lieutenant, the team is yours now Mr. Polo.  They are your responsibility, as this is a science mission.  

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@:: Starts walking briskly back to the shuttle. ::*CO*: Did Sam and the Doctor made it to sickbay?

CMO Morgan says:
*OPS*:  Lt Chatters, we are losing Sam.  More power to transporters.  ::Sees Sam in an unconscious state as the transporter tries to stabilize her signature.  She is appearing and disappearing before his eyes.::  Lt, we're losing her.  Get her back!
 
CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@AT: Okay let’s get out of here. Lets go to the science building and get some answers

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: Do a preflight, situation on the planet is changing we may need to launch soon

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
*Morgan*: Boosting power now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Understood.  Doing preflight check now.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@AT: Everyone have the phasers ready for anything

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::goes through each system carefully and correctly::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Divert power from replicators and try using the backup buffers to augment her pattern

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::moves toward the building

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: her fingers fly over the console, like a bee buzzing a flower ::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@Scientists: You heard the commander, let's move guys!!!

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Trying sir....
 
@ACTION:  A bolt of lightening comes down and zaps the CSO in the butt, starting his pants on fire.
 
CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::watching each system as it comes back green and shows everything ready for flight::

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
*Morgan*: Doctor, what's happening down there?
 
ACTION:  The computer loses Sam's signature and she disappears.

CMO Morgan says:
*CO*:  Captain, what happened?  Is Sam back on the planet .. cause she's not here in sickbay with me..  ::His voice trails off.::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::pats at his butt trying to extinguish the fire::

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: turns to the Captain :: CO: Captain, Commander Sommers...we've just lost her signature.

CMO Morgan says:
Computer:  Analyze last transport of Commander Sommers.  Was Commander Sommers transported back to the planet?  Is she onboard the Triton?

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::pushes the CSO on the ground and starts to roll him till teh fires is out::

Computer says:
  Doctor Morgan:  Commander Sommers is not on the planet or the Triton.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Did her mass return to the planet or is it just lost?

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: She's gone sir. I'm sorry Captain.

CMO Morgan says:
Computer:  Locate Commander Sommers bio sign from the transport.
 
CSO_Lt_Polo says:
::@FCO: Thank you Mark, now let's go to the science building, this place is becoming too hellish for my taste.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Oracle is ready for launch sir.

Computer says:
  Doctor Morgan:  Commander Sommers bio sign does not exist.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: growls :: Himself: I will turn this planet to cinders before I lose another crew

CMO Morgan says:
::Slams his fist down on a biobed.::  *CO*:  Doctor Morgan to Captain K'Vas.  ::Hesitates.::  I regret to inform you that Commander Sommers is gone, Sir.  ::Sits down in a chair, and notices Sam's little sister, Jessica in tears in a corner of the room, a nurse consoling her.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::moves to the building::

Jenny says:
:: sees the commotion in sickbay as she follows Jones by the door ::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@::runs toward the science building making sure the rest of the team is with him:: All:: Hurry up!!!
 
@ACTION:  When the AT reaches the building, they find the doors locked, but several windows broken.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Mark can you enter in a window?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CMO*: Doctor :: the disgust at the profession detectable in his voice :: this was not in your realm of experience.  Make sure remains if any are held for her family

Jenny says:
Jones: You going to get Amanda out?

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Your Orders sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::tries to jump into the window::

CMO Morgan says:
::His voice weak, and not sure what to say.::  *CO*:  Aye, Sir. I'll make the arrangements.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: a tear goes down his cheek::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: Keep the Oracle on hot stand by.  I want a diagnostic run on the transporters; we just lost Commander Sommers to a malfunction

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::hears that Sam is lost?::

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: sniffs and looks over at Mark's seat :: Self: I hope he's ok down there.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir Oracle is on standby I will do the transporter diagnostic myself.

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: looks at the readings :: CO: Captain there is a severe storm hitting the area where the away team is.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::gets out of the Oracle and locks her down and runs for the TL::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: I'll accompany the CEO to study the readouts.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
Self: If they lost Sam or scrambled her atoms some one is going to pay for their incompetence.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Make entry into ships database, :: holds his stone face :: Commander Samantha Anne Sommers was lost in the line of duty...it is the recommendation of the captain of this vessel that she receive the purple heart....posthumously of course

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Have the away team seek shelter until the weather improves; do not try to fly out

EO Jones says:
  Amanda:  hold still I am going to get you out honey.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: Understood commander

 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: nods slowly :: CO: Duly recorded Captain.
 
@ACTION:  An ion storm begins to form in the atmosphere which is interfering with scanners on the ship.  The Triton loses communications with the Away Team.

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
::exits the TL and slides into the transporter room::  ALL: Pull the pattern buffers and I want all scans and the readouts yesterday.  I got a man missing and for your sake she better be alive.

  OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Sir, ion storm! Communications are being interfered with.
 
@ACTION:  The FCO lands inside the building, with only a few cuts on his arms from the glass of the window he went through.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Mark can you open the door from the inside?

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Do what you can to reestablish communications, use the probes to boost your signal if necessary

Jenny says:
  :: looks inside the tube :: Amanda, I told you you were too big to play in here.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::grunts as he gets to his feet::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::moves over to the door and unlocks it::

EO Jones says:
 Amanda: Easy hun here we go come on,  that’s a girl:: slides the frightened child out of the ventilation shaft and hands her to one of the nurses::

Host OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: The ion storm is intensifying. I can't break through it.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@::enters the building with the rest of the AT: FCO: Mark thank you, I guess now it's the both of us in need of a dermal regenerator.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Then its a waiting game lieutenant.  Send a comm. to Mrlr.  Once her daughter is recovered, she is cleared to launch with the Oracle
 
@ACTION:  The storm outside doesn't appear to be letting up anytime soon.

Jenny says:
  Jones : You can get her out huh? Her mommy is going to be soooooo mad.
 
 OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
CO: Aye Captain.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: I'll survive, so I think we should get underground till the storms pass. What do you think?

CEO_LtCmdr_Randolph says:
Jenny: Her is the CIV's daughter ma'am.  I suggest you keep her on a leash.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: I agree we need to find a place to rest, regroup and then start exploring this place. And maybe get some answers.
